Volume-Sensitive Techniques with reference to Technical analysisShashikant Gaikwad
Welcome to our presentation on Volume-Sensitive Techniques. In today's fast-paced digital landscape, adaptability is key. Volume sensitivity is the capacity of systems to dynamically adjust to changing data and user loads. Join us as we explore how these techniques, spanning data management, software design, and manufacturing, are essential for efficiency, scalability, and overall system resilience. Let's uncover the strategies that empower organizations to thrive in dynamic environments.
This document summarizes a case study on applying seven principles for monitoring and evaluating systemic change to the Market Assistance Program (MAP) in Kenya. MAP aims to improve incomes of poor people through market facilitation and catalytic interventions. The case study evaluates how well each of the seven principles- indirectness of impact, depth of impact, network-driven change, unpredictability, sensitivity to external signals, information deficit, and sustainability as adaptability- fit with MAP's work. It finds that MAP staff widely accept the principles and they inform strategies, but some tensions remain between measuring systemic vs. superficial impacts, and between information needs of management vs. donors. The study provides insights into each principle and suggests MAP could strengthen its ability to measure network
MISO's Distributed Energy Resources Program aims to prepare for higher penetration of distributed energy resources like rooftop solar and electric vehicles.
