Do-It-Yourself Logic Models: Examples, Templates, and ChecklistsInnovation Network
Logic models are nonprofit road maps: they help you diagram where you are now and where you hope to be in the future. They are used for program planning, program management, fundraising, communications, consensus-building, and evaluation planning.
Want to make a logic model, but not sure where to start? In this 90-minute webinar, Johanna Morariu and Ann Emery taught about the nuts and bolts of logic models--what they are, how to make them, who should be involved in the process, and how often to update them. We’ll provide you with tools like a logic model template, free online logic model builder, and a logic model checklist. We’ll also share several examples from real nonprofits so that you’re ready to hit the ground running.

This is a presentation created to facilitate a research paper discussion on 'Feedback queuing models for time shared systems' for a final year undergraduate course. This includes a summary of the concepts presented with the paper, excluding their statistical proofs.
Data Queues provide a speedy, versatile, and functional program-to program communication method and also provide a perfect coupling and transaction layer in modern application design models, aiming at separating the data processing and business logic from the presentation layer, and thus achieving independence between the back-end and the front-end of the application.

Watershed Conference - "The value nature vs the nature of value" - 2006Steve McKinney
The historical perspective of what today is considered the modern study of environmental economics begins with problems proposed by Garret Hardin in his famous essay "The Tragedy of the Commons" in 1968. Many scientists, engineers, and economists have proposed methods of assessing the value of the natural environment since this time. This presentation will discuss many of these methods with specific focus on application of substitute cost method and its potential for application in stormwater management and mitigation.
Traditional M/M/1 queuing systems use single class first come first serve scheduling discipline, Under FCFS scheduling, customers are served in the order in which they arrive, regardless of the priority of these customers. In order to offer different quality of service for different types of customers, we often control a queuing system by providing multiple classes with different priorities. Familiar priority control mechanisms are preemptive priority and non-preemptive priority. This presentation reviews the differences between normal M/M/1 and priority M/M/1 queues.
This is the presentation I gave at the Grace Hopper Celebration for Women in Computing October 2015. It covers three main ethical market models that could support the emergence of a Personal Data Ecosystem centered on individuals and their personal clouds. The three models are Vendor Relationship Management, Infomediaries, and Data Aggregators. It highlights the need for Accountability Frameworks (also called Trust Frameworks) combinations of code and law/policy. This is contextualized in an overall Landscape picture where two other modes of governance also co-exist - Peer Governance and Identifier Governance.

Intersection18: From a "Simple" App Challenge for Astronauts to an Enterprise...Intersection Conference
How a “simple” app implementation for a client in the Space Industry, helped our team to identify, isolate and rethink the whole procedures and communications our client had. Sometimes we focus on the tree, in this case a space rocket, and we miss the forest... in our case the galaxy. We will go through the tools used for building the app and how they unveiled pain-points and challenges within the organization itself. Sometimes we need to build a tool to explain what major changes should be faced within an enterprise.

The need for Business design to underpin strategic and operational agility Craig Martin
Talk given at the business architecture Master Series in Sydney October 2019.
Agility is here to stay. But dig a little deeper and you will see that fundamental strategic, structural and cultural issues exist that often prevent success within large organizations. Some organizations have learnt the hard way when it comes to the missing pieces of the puzzle around organizational agility.
I was recently asked by a new-ways-of-working team to help them apply business design to create the target operating model needed to enable structural, operational and strategic agility. Is this the secret sauce that’s been missing in the agility conversations?
In this talk I’ll discuss the broader issues around agility when creating the adaptive and fast learning organization. And discuss the "secret sauce" that is missing when it comes to business heuristics and patterns.
I will also look at the areas where agility is succeeding and failing and discuss the need for multi-disciplinary architects that can help with the transition across strategic, business and delivery lenses.
PS - this is a presentation pack. I dont put everything I talk to into a slide. Some of these slides will therefore lack some context for you. Next time I'll record the talk and you can hopefully catch the story around the slides.
Think about your recent experiences in the airport screening line, the hospital ER, the “fast food” drive through or your neighboring department. Are they always pleasant? Sadly, not all processes function smoothly – often to your customers’ dismay. Through business process optimization, your organization can strive for effectiveness and efficiency through innovation and flexibility. It doesn’t have to be a complicated endeavor – learn how!

Customers 101 : Understanding Customer Segmentation and Portraits Danny Boice
Check out this class that I taught recently at 1776 in DC on Customer Acquisition. The focus was on customer segmentation and portraits / personas. I also covered some common concepts from The Lean Startup, Steve Blank's Customer Development, and BJ Fogg's Behavior Model. This is a great deck for someone learning to growth hack or otherwise learn the basics of web and mobile product user acquisition

In Lean conversations, we often hear “it’s 10% tools and 90% people,” “we need to change the culture,” and “they just don’t get it.” While each of these statements may be true, they all reflect that something is missing in our problem-solving and transformation attempts—and that missing element is helping people change their behaviors. In reality if we don’t change the way the organization thinks and behaves, on a day-to-day basis, we won’t significantly impact performance levels.
This workshop includes both theory and practical application around the behaviors of excellence: organizational clarity, focus, discipline, and widespread employee engagement. Activities include class discussions and four major activities representing each of the dimensions.
The clarity activity centers on the words we use and how ambiguity and "softened" language hinders performance. The focus activity is a timed simulation that demonstrates how working on fewer projects at a time increases the total number of projects completed in a comparable given time period. Participants learn metrics-based process mapping, a highly disciplined process for standardizing work. In the final activity, participants practice techniques that lead to engagement and disengagement.
There’s a massive difference between teams that rock and those that just don't. Not only do the teams that rock deliver some phenomenal, off-the-page results, they are a joy to work with and be part of. These teams act like magnets for more amazing people, deliver remarkable value for customers and inspire action in others.
This session explored the ideas beneath the Open Leader Method(TM), a unique leadership programme for leaders in IT.

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. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
