My June, 25 keynote at the CEA LETI Days, on how risk, is the most valuable currency between startups and industry. The key point is on how to change our perspective on risk, and be able to "game the system" so as to reach an adequate critical mass of projects.
This is the first part of my course for the Master of Digital Marketing of the International Univeristy of Monaco:
Most of what is known in traditional economy has been widely questioned, or even completely destroyed, by internet.
The disintermediation of value chains, the acceleration of commercial exchanges, the importance of brand sociology, !ash sales methods, the transformation of products into services, the permeability of borders, the abundance and volatility of o"ers... All these phenomenas make digital markets hardly accessible to those who still use 20th century management tools.
In this course, we will explore #rst the main principles distinguishing digital from traditional economy. We will work then on the importance of two-sided or multi-sided markets, and in particular the economy of gratuity. We will then move forward with the extension of models of monetization enabled by the web today.
Finally, we will try to suggest a new approach on a digital company’s creation of value and added value for its clients, insisting on the notion of ecosystems and «closed gardens». For each key point we will use a recent case study, allowing the students to understand the underlying mechanisms and the practical impacts (for ex. why Diablo III is in competition with iTunes? Why la FNAC is not one of Amazon’s competitor?).
'The future of professional organizations' Cisco Plus keynote -LuxembourgFrederic De Meyer
The document discusses trends that will shape the future of organizations:
1) Megatrends like an aging population, technology advances, and sustainability issues will impact organizations in both certain and uncertain ways.
2) Future organizations may operate in highly virtual ways, leveraging open innovation, outsourcing, crowdsourcing, and distributed "virtual" teams rather than traditional offices and factories.
3) A virtual company could efficiently utilize global talent for various functions like R&D, manufacturing, marketing, and sales without maintaining a large internal workforce. However, this would also mean less control and potential loss of loyalty.
The impact of megatrends on the western retail sectorFrederic De Meyer
This document discusses how megatrends will impact Western European retail companies. It begins by defining megatrends as long-lasting trends that cause disruptive global shifts. Several key megatrends are identified, including demographics, sustainability, technology, and geopolitics. The document then analyzes how these megatrends will affect retailers through consequences like changing consumer preferences, resource constraints, new competitors, and business model innovation opportunities from crowdsourcing. It concludes by emphasizing the need for retailers to monitor these trends and asks how they will affect companies and what questions they raise about the future.

Using megatrends to understand future opportunities and challenges is crucial for business success. Megatrends are major long-term shifts in society with wide-ranging consequences. They can impact businesses in both obvious and unexpected ways. To assess megatrends, companies should identify key trends, discuss their potential impacts internally in a multidisciplinary way, and draw conclusions to inform strategy. Understanding megatrends helps companies innovate their business models, strategies, and operations to thrive in the future.

White paper soft culture hard economy (summary)_aug09 [f]KC Yoon
Describe potential and opportunity for investing in China's creative & media sector as chinese consumer wealth increases; opening of China's restricted media sector to foreign participation and rise of domestic PE industry
By 2020, several key building blocks of the future tech universe have been firmly established. Significant progress in areas such as quantum computing, big data, artificial intelligence, robotics and immersive reality have been made, enabling a clearer understanding of how tech will develop in the next 10-20 years.
By 2030, emerging robotics and AI will have made remarkable progress in changing the face of current industries and processes. Most fast food outlets will run mainly on robotic labour, with human labour representing only a small fraction of total spend. AI will be able to support, and eventually supplant, at least 90% of current effort implemented by service professionals such as accounting, consulting, or law.
And by 2040, we will feel comfortable enough with this technology that it will be widely adapted. Our cities, homes and workplaces will be transformed through technology and predictive analytics. Self-driving vehicles will reduce congestion and pollution. Robots will remove the need for widespread human labour. Most processes, such as financial management, will be fully automated and managed by intelligent agents, removing the need for mundane tasks like queuing at a bank or going to a supermarket for groceries.
Advances in gene therapies and biological – mechatronic interfaces will rapidly transform medical technology and health outcomes. These have the potential to not only significantly expand human lifespan, but also improve human health.
At the same time, it is clear that as a society and as a government / economic policy, we are far behind the curve in understanding how these will affect our educational systems, employment and the very idea of human potential.
Comparatively few citizens will be able to adapt successfully to gainful employment (or entrepreneurship) in the future tech society. This means that families and citizens today need to start making decisions for how they will live 20 years from now. These decisions affect their own educational and investment choices, as well as the very nature of our society.
Philip Ammerman will discuss the future trends in tech and how these will affect companies, families and governments in 2030 and 2040.

The Power of Ace (Adoption, Change & Execution)Prakash Bagri
The document discusses different stages of customer adoption for new innovations over time. It describes how in the first few years, a company typically gains early adopters but then struggles in the third year when attempting rapid growth. Meetings are held where different groups blame each other for issues. The key is targeting the right customer and ensuring the product fulfills their needs through an integrated whole product of both hardware/software and services. Execution is essential for translating ideas into successful products.
The traditional brick-and-mortar business model is no longer the only option for the aspiring entrepreneur. Many of today’s greatest successes belong to those who have captured the power of the viral loop by designing products and services that spread themselves through the channels of the Internet, propelled by word-of-mouth recommendations.

This article discusses data visualization in market research and reactions to it, which range from enthusiasm to skepticism. It advocates that data visualization is most effective when it is thoughtfully designed through a process involving analysis, design, and storytelling skills from different specialists working as a team. When done well, data visualization can help avoid "death by data" from tables and allow researchers to incorporate additional context and identify subtle trends. However, tools should be selected based on the needs of the intended audience and simple visuals chosen for non-analysts. Interactive integration with live data is important to create a richer experience for users.

How To Transform And Lead In The Age of Agility And InnovationFaisal Hoque
Transformation is driven by an acknowledged need to grow and change, followed by thinking differently about the old ways and means.
The term transformation originated with biology and genetics. In short, biological transformation refers to the introduction of something organic and systemic that can change the essential nature of a cell. Its purpose is to invoke change. The transformative process is nearly identical for every organization today: introduce a new goal, add the variable, and transform it into creativity and innovation.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-und-domino-lizenzkostenreduzierung-in-der-welt-von-dlau/
DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten.
Diese Themen werden behandelt
- Reduzierung der Lizenzkosten durch Auffinden und Beheben von Fehlkonfigurationen und überflüssigen Konten
- Wie funktionieren CCB- und CCX-Lizenzen wirklich?
- Verstehen des DLAU-Tools und wie man es am besten nutzt
- Tipps für häufige Problembereiche, wie z. B. Team-Postfächer, Funktions-/Testbenutzer usw.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

of this revolution is not just a trans-

Yesterday the World Changed, Now It’s Your Turn
From the wild copyright warzones of Asia to the newly colliding forces
of Silicon Valley and Hollywood, there is a new generation of young
consumers challenging what it means to live in a digital world. Smart,

without the Web. The big idea at the heart of Futuretainment is that we
have moved from an era of broadcast networks to audience networks,
through which consumers have now taken charge of how brands are
discovered, shared and popularized. Forget technology - the future of
your business will be being shaped by anthropology. For marketers and

Why the Future of The Web Will Be Like Nothing You Know Today
What we think of the Web today is only a fraction of its future
potential. The Divergence marks the point where everything we know
about the digital world will change. In the coming years, the emerging
markets of China, India and Brazil will rapidly overtake the West not
only in their rates of economic growth, but as the dominant commercial
and cultural influences on the development of the Web. How we
interact, transact and entertain ourselves in the future will be shaped
by new forms of consumer behavior never seen this side of Silicon
Valley. Forget everything you know about West Coast Web etiquette.
Tomorrow's Web will be a milieu of competing cultures - simultaneously
a source of conflict and also a wellspring of consumer innovation.

Information may be power, but power is also be information. Global
environmental concerns are driving not only new investment in
renewable energy but also the transformation of the analog power grid
into a smart, digital network. What we think of today as a simple
electricity outlet will soon become a node in a new networked
ecosystem of appliances, applications, and consumer data. The rise of
the Enerweb will attract both new kinds of players and encourage new
forms of consumer behavior, forever changing the way we think about
energy.
