Spotlight on Technology: Steering Clear of the IT Danger ZonesL.E.K. Consulting
In this Executive Insights' "Spotlight on Technology: Steering Clear of the Danger Zones," learn why companies are increasingly taking advantage of IT services to migrate their industry-specific services to the cloud, how customers are utilizing vendors and which vendors will win by capitalizing on these opportunities.
This white paper sets out how digital technology can deliver improved procurement performance. Cloud, Mobile, Social and Big Data are discussed and suggestions are made on how they can deliver reduced costs, faster access to procurement platform solutions, accelerated access to information, flexibility in working, increased innovation and creativity, and improved procurement intelligence. To gain those benefits, it is argued, a Digital Procurement Strategy is needed. The paper closes with recommendations for harnessing digital within the procurement context.

North American Utility Sparks Up its Complaint Handling SystemCognizant
Electric utility's new complaint handling system reduces resolution times, increases staff productivity, boosts customer satisfaction and improves regulatory compliance.
The proposed wave approach makes use of a simple supplier profiling method that forms the basis of the entire supplier engagement strategy. Its effectiveness stems from the fact that it avoids the use of complicated data that is difficult to obtain and is often unreliable.
Procurement fraud, bribery, and corruption have moved beyond a perceived risk and become a real issue for many organizations. This paper highlights the need for organizations to put the necessary processes in place to protect against procurement fraud. It also serves as a warning that the absence of any visible instances of bribery, fraud, and corruption should be no cause for complacency as instances of successful perpetration may remain hidden for long periods of time.

The traditional business model for insurance, though still a tremendous source of revenue, is becoming less sustainable in the long term due largely to the rapid innovation that the Internet of Things is driving throughout the economy. Yet, in the midst of this disruption there is opportunity. Insurers will need to dramatically reshape their business model, combining insurance with technology, ecosystem services and partners.

Client case studies: Where will your company find top talent? Look to the cloudPwC
A large entertainment, media & communications company found that its five semi-autonomous divisions each had its own vastly different talent management needs and processes, and that was a problem when it came to identifying and retaining top talent across all the operating units. Although the enterprise technically owned the core HR solution for four of the divisions, the support model was handled at the division level and did not use a Shared Services model, leading to inefficiencies and redundant efforts. The company wanted to develop standardized processes, procedures, and technologies across the divisions to create a cross-divisional view of talent focusing on operational excellence and employee engagement.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
