Managing in the whitespace of your organization
•
1 like•1,959 views
The document discusses managing in the "whitespace" of an organization, which refers to underutilized areas that exist between formal groups and hierarchies. The whitespace provides opportunities to improve processes by reducing handoffs between teams. Conway's Law states that communication structures will mirror organizational structures, so silos can inhibit communication. Lessons recommend using servant leadership in the whitespace and taking on problems to provide early payoffs while staying loosely defined. Tools include using graphs to tell stories that connect people across boundaries.

Keep it Super Simple: Who Said Collecting Data Had to be So Hard
Do you have good assessment measures? Are they useful? Do you only use rubrics? Would you like to know more about all of the other assessment instruments available? Are you the only person collecting data at the last minute in your department? Do you want some help?
This presentation is designed to provide faculty and staff (i.e., particularly persons responsible for assessment) ideas on how to efficiently and innovatively collect student assessment data. It will provide you with an in-depth understanding of the many tools available to collect data within the natural classroom. In addition, it will help you to understand how to share the assessment load. If you want to understand how to collect meaningful data, you should view this presentation!!! If you want to be efficient and not last minute in collecting data, you should view this presentation!!!!
Why do we need business models or Mindset behind Business Model Approach
Entrepreneurship is about creating innovative ideas and transforming them into ventures that generate value. Through the years the only way how entrepreneurs documented their ideas and presented to investors was writing business plans. However, it is widely recognized that business plans immediately become obsolete after first meeting with reality. Business plans are also too long to write, they are seldom updated, almost never read by others (even investors for whom they were written). Nowadays everyone in the entrepreneurship world speaks about business model as more important issue than business plan. There are plenty of materials about what is a business model, how to use them; more than 40 different types of business models appeared since 1985 (M. Porter). However, only a few words said about why and when particular model of business model should be used for idea development and venture creation. This article is aimed at disclosure of mindset behind business model approach to entrepreneurship. Second purpose is to define main ways how business models could be applied to entrepreneurship.
Let's talk about... Microservices
It's easy to say... Microservices! Reality is we need to learn and apply concepts coming from many disciplines like SOA, EDA and DDD just to name a few! Mix them with some ALM and technical processes around Packaging and Deploying... and maybe then you get a true Microservices solution.
Entity centric data_management_2013
1) Entity-centric data management stores and integrates information at the entity level rather than keywords or structured schemas. This allows for more natural integration of heterogeneous data as entities can be interlinked.
2) Techniques presented include ZenCrowd for crowdsourcing entity extraction, hybrid search to combine keyword and graph searches for entities, and Diplodocus for efficiently storing and querying entity data through clustering and co-location.
3) The approaches were shown to improve entity extraction precision by 14%, entity search results by up to 25%, and entity query performance by up to 300x compared to traditional techniques.
Microservices Architecture
Slides for my architectural session at the event: Docker From Zero To Hero.
We talked about what kind of expertises are need in order to build a true Microservices Solution; you'll need to understand some of the fundamentals on which Microservices is built upon: SOA, EDA and DDD just to name a few, then you can move to the container world.

Groupware tech
Groupware, or collaborative software, is designed to help people work together on common tasks. It overlaps with computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), which studies how collaborative activities can be supported by technology. The CSCW matrix categorizes collaboration as co-located or distributed, and synchronous or asynchronous. CSCW is interdisciplinary, bringing together fields like computer science, social psychology, and organizational theory. It aims to understand group work and design technology to support cooperation. Early groupware included Lotus Notes. Groupware can facilitate communication, conferencing, and complex coordination through tools like calendars, project management, and knowledge management systems.

Successfully Kickstarting Data Governance's Social Dynamics: Define, Collabor...Stijn (Stan) Christiaens
The document discusses data governance and outlines several key points:
1) Data governance is about bringing business and IT together to govern data as a key enterprise asset and ensure there is a common understanding of what data means.
2) Existing tools and approaches are insufficient for handling today's data complexity, and semantic technology can help by clarifying the meaning of data elements.
3) Effective data governance requires a combination of technology, organizational structure, methodology, and culture to define roles and processes for validating and reconciling data across stakeholders.Illogical engineers
The document discusses the history of software engineering and early ideas in the field. It notes that the term "software engineering" was coined in 1968 to imply a more rigorous, engineering-based approach was needed for software development. Early conferences discussed ideas like integrating testing into design instead of after, and that small teams tend to be more successful than large ones. The document also examines some of the challenges faced and lessons learned over decades of software development.

11 Strategic Considerations for SharePoint Migrations #SPSVB
My presentation on SharePoint migration planning for SharePoint Saturday Virginia Beach on Jan 8th, 2011
Systems analysis and design
System analysis and design involves analyzing an organization's existing system or planned system and designing a better system to improve the organization. The key steps in system analysis and design are analyzing the system needs, designing the recommended system, developing and documenting the software, testing and maintaining the system, and implementing and evaluating the system. System analysts play an important role in information systems development projects by understanding business problems and applying technology to solve them.
Software engineering the genesis
The document discusses the origins of software engineering as a discipline. It summarizes discussions from a conference in 1968 where the term "software engineering" was first used. Key points discussed included that testing is best done iteratively during design rather than after, that small groups tend to be more successful than large groups on software projects, and that an organizational structure is needed for communication and decision making in large groups. The document also discusses criticisms of the "waterfall" development model and advocates for an iterative approach.
Architectures That Scale Deep - Regaining Control in Deep Systems
Video and slides synchronized, mp3 and slide download available at URL https://bit.ly/2FWc5Sk.
Ben Sigelman talks about "Deep Systems", their common properties and re-introduces the fundamentals of control theory from the 1960s, including the original conceptualizations of Observability & Controllability. He uses examples from Google & other companies to illustrate how deep systems have damaged people's ability to observe software, and what needs to be done in order to regain control. Filmed at qconsf.com.
Ben Sigelman is a co-founder and the CEO at LightStep, a co-creator of Dapper (Google’s distributed tracing system), and co-creator of the OpenTracing and OpenTelemetry projects (both part of the CNCF). His work and interests gravitate towards observability, especially where microservices, high transaction volumes, and large engineering organizations are involved.
Toigo Critical Convergence
This document discusses critical convergence in three key areas: the convergence of front and back office goals and strategies, the convergence of IT architectural models, and the convergence of intelligent data management. It argues that purpose-built infrastructure designed around business needs, rather than vendor marketing, is key to addressing current challenges around cost, compliance, risk management and growth. Properly managing and routing data across such an infrastructure requires understanding data hosting requirements.
META for Microservices: Getting your enterprise migration in motion
The document discusses an approach called META (Microservice-based Enterprise Transformation Approach) for digital transformations using microservices. META consists of five design disciplines - Program Design, System Design, Service Design, Foundation Design, and Practice Design. These disciplines provide a comprehensive approach to changing how an enterprise builds and maintains distributed systems in a way that addresses complexity. The document outlines the goals and processes within each design discipline at a high level to give an overview of the META approach.
Systems Thinking workshop, given at Lean UX NYC
The document discusses systems thinking and its importance for understanding complex problems and business models. It introduces various systems thinking concepts, models, and tools. Specifically, it covers:
1) Modeling systems using tools from design thinking like personas and customer journey maps to understand how things work and influence each other.
2) Examining systems behavior over time and how systems change dynamically rather than statically.
3) The need to think holistically about systems and consider human factors, as technical problems often have human causes at their root.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
