The fastest growing companies aren’t doing it all on their own.
In this session from 500 Startups' 2016 Weapons of Mass Distribution Conference, CEO Mike Sharkey shares how strategic partnerships can contribute to early growth, expanded market share, an improved customer experience and explosive revenue. You’ll get an inside look at real-life partnership success stories and hard-learned tips for launching your own.
Why is this book so important? One of the biggest lessons I have learned within the startup landscape is that even though pricing, together with the business model, remains by far the lever that most impacts revenue, the subject is a sensitive one.

The technologies and people we are designing experiences for are constantly changing, in most cases they are changing at a rate that is difficult keep up with. When we think about how our teams are structured and the design processes we use in light of this challenge, a new design problem (or problem space) emerges, one that requires us to focus inward. How do we structure our teams and processes to be resilient? What would happen if we looked at our teams and design process as IA’s, Designers, Researchers? What strategies would we put in place to help them be successful? This talk will look at challenges we face leading, supporting, or simply being a part of design teams creating experiences for user groups with changing technological needs.

My experience of using research investigating conceptions of information lite...Sheila Webber
This presentation indicates ways in which Sheila Webber has used the findings of research with students, librarians and academics. The discoveries are from the research project investigating UK academics’ conceptions of information literacy and pedagogy for information literacy. This was a phenomenographic investigation looking at 4 disciplines: Marketing, Chemistry, Civil Engineering and English. One the articles about this research can be found here:

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
