About rethinking digital, providing building blocks and an implementation approach for your transformation, and hopefully inspiring you to do something differently tomorrow in your digital business efforts. Everyone's talking digital and it's dangerous... too dangerous to dilute the term, but crucially important that we understand it properly. Digital is becoming a synonym for technology or new or new technology. You need to understand the digital enterprise wave - the current disruptive landscape. Then here are 8 building blocks for transformation, and then our 7E approach to implementing change. Finally I echo Michael Corleone telling Sonny "it's not personal, it's business" with our version "it's not digital, it's business".

Why Multicloud Integration Will Disrupt Digital Experience and Drive Growth |...Dion Hinchcliffe
Most organizations have a large digital experience gap, both for customer and employee experiences. The solution is to much more strategically use their assets, including data, IT systems, and people, more effectively to industrialize and scale their experience capabilities. I recently explored both the business imperative for why as well as the means for how to accomplish this in a lunch keynote at the 10th anniversary Cloud Expo in New York City.
Driven by the many challenges facing digital workplace practitioners today, knowledge management has spent the last 20 years building up rich practice around nurturing collaboration, knowledge sharing and content. In this workshop, learn how to help your employees connect with information and each other. Let knowledge management do what it does best: avoid reinventing the wheel.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

that begins in her days as a street performer (drop a dollar in the hat for the Eight-Foot
Bride!), she examines the new relationship between artist and fan.” – TED Talks

A brand is the essence of one’s own unique story. This is true for
personal branding as it is for business branding. The key, though, is
reaching down and pulling out the authentic, unique you. Otherwise,
your band will just be a façade.
- Paul Biedermann
Think of your brand as a person

Brand as a Personality
“Brand personality is a set of human characteristics that are
attributed to a brand name. A brand personality is something to
which the consumer can relate; an effective brand increases
its brand equity by having a consistent set of traits that a specific
consumer segment enjoys.” - Investopedia
There are five main types of brand personalities: excitement,
sincerity, ruggedness, competence and sophistication. Customers
are more likely to purchase a brand if its personality is similar to their
own

Expanding Your Circle of Influence
We all have a circle of influence
My friends / colleagues who like the work I do
They have a circle of influence
Those people are the ones who like the work my colleague does
Chances are, I don’t know most of them
That group of people also has a circle of influence of people who
trust them
Chances are, I don’t know any of them
^--This is your audience, the people you need to introduce
your BRAND too.

28. What If You Are A ”One Man Band”
• Keeping yourself on task is important regardless of if it’s a personal
project for yourself or you are working on the project solo
• Keeping yourself (or others) accountable is crucial to successful project
management
• Creating a schedule and sticking to it
29. Definitions
• Project
• Sequence of tasks that lead toward a singular goal; requires time, people and
resources.
• Deliverables
• Results or the outcomes of parts of the projects (plans, documents, etc.)
• Deadlines
• Each task and phase of the project has a due date. Deadlines keep a project on task
and focused
• Scope
• Involves determining and documenting a list of specific project goals, deliverables,
features, functions, tasks, deadlines, and ultimately costs. In other words, it is what
needs to be achieved and the work that must be done to deliver a project
• Scope Creep is when during a project new “ideas” or deliverables are suggested
31. Resource Determination
• Scheduling Phase
• Managers decide on
• How much time each activities takes
• How many people / material required
• The order in which these activities need to take place
• Assign Resources to the specific activities
• Add “Buffer” Time
• Document actual hours spent on the project while running – this can
help you benchmark for accuracy for future projects
• Also useful when you believe one resource can do a task in X amount of time,
but all the tasks are 2X amounts of time, you can quickly work to adjust the
project timeline/resources
32.
33. Estimating Time Accurately
• Understand Requirements
• Business Requirement Analysis – Process in which you interview steak holders
document their priorities and estimate based on what they find important
• Work Break Down Structures – Hierarchy of how parts of the project are split
down into work buckets and how they funnel to the solve of the project
• GAP Analysis – Comparing actual performance with potential performance
and the needs to get to the final future state.
• Drill Down – Writing Down the problem on one side of the page and then its
components of the issue to the right of that. Other variations is the funnel
where you break the project down in stages to the smallest parts.
35. Making Estimates
• Once you’ve broken down the project a bit more, estimate the time for
each of the tasks and not the project as a whole
• List all of the assumptions, exclusions and constraints that are relevant –
and note the sources (people/process/things) that you will rely on
• This is important when estimates are questioned and risk areas for project delays
• People are often over optimistic when giving you timelines, and may
underestimate the time needed
• Assume that your resources will only be productive for 80 percent of the
time.
• Build in time for unexpected events such as sickness, supply problems, equipment
failure, accidents and emergencies, problem solving, and meetings.
36. Project Methodologies
• Agile
• Allows you to break projects down into separate manageable tasks, which can be
tackled in short iterations or sprints (hour or two segments)
• Agile is much more fluid and collaborative with quick production cycles and lots of
feedback and iteration
• Waterfall
• a hierarchy of sequential tasks that ends with a big product launch – works well when
all tasks are predetermined and there isn’t a lot of need of discussion throughout the
project
• Six Sigma
• Is business methodology that aims to improve processes, reduce waste and errors,
and increase customer satisfaction throughout an organization. Driven by data and
statistical analysis, Six Sigma provides a way to minimize mistakes and maximize value
in any business process
• You can get certified in this process – highly recommended. Really good toolset to
master if working with a team that is more about data and ROI
40. Project Focuses
• For Projects Impacting Patrons or Employees
• Put an emphasis on the the entire experience
• This can include training, on-boarding,
announcement of the project, and so forth
• No one likes a surprise – overcommunication to
end users or impacted parties is crucial.
• Allows you to get in front of issues or the rumor mill.
• Central Location For Information
• Don’t have some files on OneDrive/Google
Drive, others on a shared drive, and others
buried in an email thread.
41. A Good Project Plan
• Answers Project Goals and Outcomes
• SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time Based)
• Identify Risks and Potential Problem Areas
42. Setting Expectations (And Sharing Them)
• Clarity of Risk and Expectations avoids disappointment
• Example: If the vendor doesn’t mean the deadline by DATE we will be delayed
by X many days.
45. Meeting Tips n Tricks
• “Parking Lots” – don’t get stuck in the weeds, schedule a sticky topic
between individuals outside of the meeting
• Meetings are not for communicating updates (do that in an email)
• Meetings are Discuss and Decide
• Everyone who leaves a meeting should have action items
• If they don’t – then this shouldn’t have been a meeting
• Designate a note taker and stick to an agenda
• Put these in the same location as all the other project

Hope Means

done by the weekend.
• I hope our 3D Printer works for
the 3D Printing Program
A Plan Means
• If we have to launch by the
weekend, feature A, B, and Z may
not be included.
• If our printer doesn’t work, we
can borrow one from someone.
Every project needs a plan. - Every Plan-A needs a Plan-B, with the resources ready if needed. Hoping you
will not need a Plan-B is not the same as having a Plan-B
