The document describes an ITSM maturity model with five levels - Ad Hoc, Repeatable, Defined, Managed, and Optimizing. It provides details on the characteristics, processes, and metrics for incident management, problem management, change management, configuration management, and release management at each maturity level. The goals of higher maturity levels include formalizing and optimizing processes, establishing policies and procedures, defining roles and responsibilities, tracking key performance indicators, and continuously improving.

Cost Reduction Potential in Indirect AreasSchwarzfischer
Access savings potentials in the indirect areas in a sustainable manner
To reduce the costs in the indirect areas and maintain the competitiveness of the internal structures, Nolte Möbel [Nolte Furniture] together with Staufen AG implemented a large-scale lean administration project. The result: efficiency increased by up to 50 %, processing times decreased by up to 70 % and quality increased by up to 65 %.
When Dr. Stefan Schwarzfischer became Managing Director for Technology and Administration at Nolte Möbel GmbH & Co. KG in 2007, he faced a difficult profit situation. Shortly thereafter, the Global Financial Crisis became imminent. In consequence, the decision was made to cut costs across the entire business. During this process, the focus was to be on sustainability. "We didn't have the objective to cut costs by a certain percentage as classic management theories stipulate", Mr Schwarzfischer explains. "Primarily this was about generating long-term effects through process and structure optimizations." In a first step, Nolte Möbel initiated targeted lean production measures in manufacturing. The second lever the company wanted to use was the overhead costs, comprising all indirect areas including the indirect components of manufacturing and assembly, maintenance and internal logistics, which are also categorised as overheads at Nolte Möbel. "This was where Staufen AG entered the playing field. Together with them, we developed a comprehensive lean administration project".
As in manufacturing, lean administration is based on the idea of focusing on creating value and avoiding waste. Waste is defined as anything not directly or indirectly serving the customer. During the process, internal areas are also considered "clients" if they depend on the work results of upstream processes to carry out their own work. Staufen AG's fundamental lean administration approach was also used in the Nolte Möbel project: analyze, differentiate, optimize.
Analyzing and differentiating
For two months, Staufen consultants rigorously analyzed Nolte Möbel's overheads. "In agreement with the shop council, we initially analyzed the cost structures", explains Andreas Mohren, Senior Manager and Partner at Staufen AG and manager for the project "Nolte Möbel". "Based on these findings, we analyzed each workplace, functional areas and process in great detail where appropriate". In consequence, for the first time it was possible to define who in the company spends how much time on what. The analytical tools used ranged from job analyses of individual workplaces to function and value stream assessments to interviews with executives. The consultants presented their findings in a comprehensive final report. While differentiating between processes that create value (indirectly) and waste, they also came up with measures to improve the analyzed processes in close collaboration with managers and employees. Furthermore, they highlighted savings potentials and developed schedules for the implementation. "In some departments, we had potentials of up to 50 %", Mr Mohren says. However, due to capacity and budget constraints, not all suggested measures and approaches could immediately be implemented. During a workshop with senior management and Staufen consultants in late 2009, all measures were checked and ranked according to their potential as well the required investments, capacities and time: All items falling below a certain threshold were postponed. Moreover, the workshop team linked the measure to the context of projects already underway in other areas at Nolte Möbel - the "Power" program came to life.
Implementation and internal resistance
In early 2010, the Power program and the lean administration measures were supposed to commence. However, the program only ran sluggishly to begin with. "Everything we had considered a great kick-off with senior management seemed to have been almost forgotten over the Christmas time", Mr Schwarzfischer surmises. "

RESUMO Introdução: Cientistas de dados têm recebido grande destaque nos últimos anos seguindo as demandas do mundo do trabalho estimuladas pela ciência aberta e pela era big data. Amplamente divulgada em 2008, e agora presente nos mais diferentes setores e aplicações, a terminologia “cientista de dados” foi anunciada em 2012 como a mais atraente e uma das mais bem remuneradas do século XXI, culminando em uma crescente oferta de cursos de formação. Objetivo: Caracterizar e compreender os aspectos formativos do cientista de dados. Metodologia: O artigo relata um recorte de uma pesquisa de levantamento com base na análise preliminar de 93 cursos em ciência de dados ofertados por instituições estadunidenses. Resultados: A análise de conteúdo das informações contidas nos websites dos programas identificados permitiu evidenciar que este profissional é formado para lidar com aspectos relacionados à coleta, tratamento, transformação, análise, visualização e curadoria de grandes e heterogêneas coleções de dados orientadas à resolução de problemas práticos e reais. Conclusão: Foi possível constatar que, de modo geral, a formação em ciência de dados atribui grande ênfase a habilidades estatísticas, matemáticas e computacionais, incluindo programação e modelagem avançada, sendo que muitas destas são pré- requisitos para ingresso nestes cursos.
Palavras-chave: Ciência de Dados. Cientista de Dados. Competências Profissionais. Formação Profissional.

In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.
