The document discusses leadership concepts like the differences between management and leadership, systems thinking, and citizenship as a key value of leadership. It provides an overview of systems thinking tools like causal loop diagrams and reinforcing and balancing loops. The document also examines systems archetypes and provides examples of corruption and poverty as a system.
This document provides an overview of a leadership session on workforce challenges. It includes:
1. Questions for a community briefing on the most essential workforce challenge and how to invest resources to maximize impact.
2. A list of things learned about effective workforce leadership, such as adopting a wide view, building diverse networks, and encouraging experimentation.
3. Information on partners and contributors to the workforce leadership project, led by Social Policy Research Associates.
The document discusses how teams can be powerful by working together toward a common goal through a "social contract". It explains that teams are necessary for project work that requires collaboration. High-performing teams go through stages of forming, storming, norming, and performing. The social contract is based on relationships and involves issues like conflict, dynamics, emotion, status, inclusion and control. People are both what makes teams powerful but also what can cause problems, as people do not always act rationally. Understanding personality types, temperaments, ego resilience and emotional intelligence can help motivate interdependent collaboration on teams.
This document discusses the characteristics of world class online communities. It defines a community as a website or part of a website owned by a business that enables interaction between users with a shared interest in a common objective. Social media has become the new normal for communication. While technology plays an important role, community is defined by regular interaction around a common objective and relationships between users. The document outlines criteria for world class communities and characteristics they exhibit such as identifiable business objectives, an emphasis on personal interactions, and leveraging user generated content. It provides recommendations for how to build a world class community by starting small and focusing on engagement, content, and constant evolution.
The document describes a shift from web-centric to people-centric internal communications using a social community framework called SunSpace. SunSpace uses a federated architecture and calculates community equity to promote participation and build vibrant communities within an organization. It integrates with existing knowledge bases and uses a value system, methodology, and architecture focused on inclusion, relevance, and building trust and reputation. A successful implementation of SunSpace saw growth from 25,000 users in 400 communities to 10x growth in 6 months.
This document discusses how online activism can lead to real-world change through organizing principles. It argues that slacktivism is not the problem, as online campaigns can positively impact offline mobilization. The organizing principles outlined include connecting people everywhere, making action choices easy, identifying local leaders, facilitating peer-to-peer opportunities, and providing incentives for offline activism. The goal is to educate and empower people to engage both online and offline through personalized relationships and compelling content.
Our organizational leadership cultural mindset has shown deficiencies since last few decades. Reasons of such behavioral patterns are not known to me (rather not expose here) for now, but, surely it implies some serious hidden peculiar ‘insecurities & egoist’ issues. The few organizational design structures who blessed with such issues have shown market leadership and more importantly, ‘Sustenance’ to remain as ‘Pioneers’ and not as followers and laggards.

This document discusses how online games can facilitate the development of 21st century skills. It notes that the modern workplace requires skills like problem-solving, teamwork, communication and managing self. While schools aim to teach these skills, much learning occurs informally through social play and collaboration. Online games provide opportunities for "collateral learning" of 21st century skills when played socially. Researchers have found games can help players manage information, thrive in diverse environments and adapt to changing conditions. The document envisions online games and virtual worlds being used in schools and lifelong learning to supplement formal curricula and foster skill development through communities of practice.
This document discusses how online games can help develop 21st century skills such as problem solving, communication, and collaboration. It suggests games facilitate these skills through cooperative play, managing information, and thriving in chaotic virtual worlds. Examples are given of the military and researchers seeing value in gaming for skills. Principles for designing effective skill-building games are outlined. The future potential for games as mainstream, lifelong learning platforms that supplement formal education is pondered.
Organizing - How are social media changing the way we organize?Dr. V Vorvoreanu
The document discusses how social media is changing organizing. It defines organizing as 2 or more individuals working towards a common goal facilitated by communication. Social media enables new types of communication and makes group forming "ridiculously easy" by reducing coordination costs. This allows loosely affiliated groups to accomplish things that were previously not possible. Social media supports collective action, cooperation, sharing, and networks with a power law or "long tail" distribution. The challenges are understanding how social media reshapes society and governance of these new types of groups and networks.

Social Experience Design: one method, two tools, three business tips (2012)Erin 'Folletto' Casali
One method, two tools, three business tips. Or in other words: theory of complexity, Dot Loop, Feedback, Relational Motivation, Social Usability, in-the-flow design, double-pyramid of social businesses.
This is the speech I prepared for UX Conference 2011 (Lugano) and part of the workshop I did at Digital Accademia (Venice).
Davide 'Folletto' Casali is a social experience designer who focuses on hybrid professional roles including user experience designer, social experience researcher, and startup design advisor. He founded the Baker Framework for designing social experiences and motivations. The document discusses relational motivations, tools for understanding them and designing social usability, and tips for building a social business including focusing on in-the-flow social experiences, having a double-pyramid structure with top-down and bottom-up elements, and maintaining an authentic social values.
The document discusses Gary Hamel's views on modern management and bureaucracy. Hamel argues that bureaucracy squanders human imagination and initiative by forcing conformity, and endangers organizational adaptability with its rigid rules. While it increases efficiency, bureaucracy also "enslaves millions in quasi-feudal, top-down organizations." The document presents Hamel's model differentiating between a "spiritual organization" that fosters passion, creativity and initiative as gifts from members, versus a "machine organization" driven by bureaucracy, expertise, diligence and obedience. It calls for building a Lasallian university community dedicated to authentic human development according to this spiritual model.
This document discusses regenerative organizations and leadership. It begins by contrasting linear models of operation with integrated systems approaches. It then presents a framework for regenerative leadership with 4 quadrants focusing on individual and collective behaviors and mindsets. The final sections discuss other frameworks for sustainability and the principles of sustainability put forth by the Brundtland Commission.
This document discusses building vibrant online communities and summarizes SunSpace, a social networking platform implemented at Sun Microsystems. It describes how SunSpace grew to include 20,000 users across 600 communities sharing over 12 million activities. The document also outlines different types of "community equity" or value that users accrue, including contribution, participation, skills, information, personal reputation, and tags/concepts. It proposes using these equity metrics for applications like expert finder systems and automated information management. Finally, it introduces the KIWI project to further develop these semantic technologies.

The document discusses project management approaches for European projects. It explains traditional waterfall project management uses linear sequential tasks, which works for small defined projects but fails for ambiguous projects. Agile project management is presented as a flexible alternative that focuses on collaboration over pre-planning. When choosing an approach for a European project, the document recommends considering goals, schedules, responsibilities, activities, and budgets. Essential elements for European projects are said to include transparency, communication, publicness, and quality.

Farming Unicorns: Building Startup & Investor EcosystemsDave McClure
This document discusses building startup ecosystems and the 500 Startups investment strategy. It begins with Dave McClure's background in venture capital and entrepreneurship. It then discusses 500 Startups, which is a $250 million global seed fund and accelerator that has invested in over 1,600 companies across more than 20 countries. McClure outlines 500 Startups' strategy of making many small "moneyball" style bets on early stage startups. He believes this approach maximizes the chances of finding unicorns, or billion dollar companies, despite the high failure rate of startups. The document concludes by discussing the critical factors for building strong startup ecosystems and emphasizes the importance of fostering an entrepreneurial spirit.
Enterprise 2.0 involves building vibrant online communities within organizations through people-centric and participatory approaches. The document discusses paradigm shifts from web-centric to people-centric models and from read-only to read/write cultures. It presents SunSpace, a social community platform architecture that calculates community equity to promote participation across communities, content, and people, integrating with existing knowledge bases.

How to Plan a Successful Association Online CommunitySocious
The document provides guidance on setting goals and planning for online communities. It recommends starting small, focusing on simplicity and key problems, prioritizing features through research, emphasizing relationships, appointing community managers, and sustaining energy over the long term to ensure community success. Regular communication, activity rewards, and using the right tools are also advised. The overall message is that building a thriving community requires ongoing care, listening to members, and continuous effort.
Community as a discipline - somewhere over the rainbowMaria Ogneva
My slides from my talk at Swarm Melbourne. Community building is just like taking a walk down the yellow brick road in the Wizard of Oz-- if you help others get what you need, you may get what every community manager wants: a healthy and engaged community, a community that's a strategic part of the organization, not an afterthought. Evolve your community to be an organization-wide discipline, beyond a job.
The document summarizes Katie Streten's presentation on using social media to promote Creative Spaces, a social network for creative people. The presentation covered developing their strategy using the IAB framework of intent, awareness, action, advocacy. It discussed choosing Facebook, Twitter, and blogs to engage audiences and provided tips on respectfully entering conversations. It also emphasized the importance of benchmarking goals and provided Creative Spaces' results of exceeding targets for blog mentions, Twitter reach, and user growth.
This document discusses building and fostering online communities. It addresses how community has traditionally been experienced offline but that social media allows for new ways of relationship building and learning online (community 2.0). It emphasizes that collaborating both face-to-face and online is key to integrating interactions from both spheres. Building a strong community requires welcoming and including all members, developing valuable content, and supporting leadership development within the community.

Building the Instructional Designer's Relevance in 2012Aaron Silvers
This document discusses how to stay relevant in organizational learning and development. It recommends:
1) Understanding trends outside of L&D, like user experience and performance improvement, to establish how L&D adds value.
2) Serving the people in your organization by understanding their perspectives and needs.
3) Embracing social business models where information is shared transparently across boundaries to connect people.
4) Disrupting yourself before other changes disrupt you, such as by taking on new perspectives, improving knowledge transfer, and embracing complexity over simplification.
Taking Leadership Online: Developing Your Personal Social Media Voice4Good.org
How should you navigate the personal and professional boundaries in the world of social media, and what does that mean for your leadership? How does the social media buzzword “transparency,” translate into “leadership?” In this webinar, we will consider how nonprofit executive directors and other staff use social media personally to further the mission of their organization and translate their leadership online.

Examples are given of how one CPA organization used social media to build relationships and engage members. The presentation concludes by encouraging CPAs to get started with social media to navigate changes in the profession.
Soccnx III - A social revolution... "Can I control that?"LetsConnect
Speakers: Femke Goedhart
Company regulation versus personal individuality, how do you get your employees to be responsible partners in a Social Business and how do you weigh freedom versus restriction? The whole Social Business idea is based on the idea of each individual having an intrinsic value to the organization that isn't necessarily linked to its role within the organization alone. This begs the question of how to tap this resource without losing control and how to implement and regulate the changes that are going to be needed. How much of this can you regulate (top-down) and how much do you allow to evolve (bottom-up)? Do you set up predefined structures and communities (pushing) or allow users to instigate the community building, opening up the floor to free input and self-empowerment? This session will highlight the difficulties and choices a company will face while making the transition into a Social Business and offer ideas and guidelines on how to do so.
SOCCNX III: A social revolution can i control thatFemke Goedhart

It contrasts traditional hierarchical business structures with more open and collaborative social approaches. The benefits of social business for attracting talent, improving morale, reducing risk, fostering innovation, and driving performance are outlined. The document also discusses different types of social media users, considerations for governance, etiquette, and how to support and positively guide user behavior through training and leadership rather than strict rules.
This document discusses leadership and economic challenges facing a fictional town called Sixtown. It provides an exploration of leadership approaches and superpowers, including adopting a wide view, building diverse networks, embracing openness, encouraging experimentation, adding unique value, and cultivating next generation leaders. Participants in a leadership deep dive session will discuss what leadership practices have worked in similar situations, important actions specific leaders in Sixtown could take to move the town forward, and the tools or skills needed for those actions. The goal is to help address Sixtown's problems of lack of access to economic opportunity and promising solutions not scaling.

The purpose is to advise Sixtown on addressing its economic and
The document discusses social interaction design and provides advice from various experts. It discusses understanding user needs, rapid prototyping and iteration, balancing simplicity and complexity, and the importance of usability, pleasure and beauty in design. Key aspects are understanding functional and relational user motivations, enabling social connections and group formation, and designing for circadian activity flows. Experts quoted emphasize criticism, self-improvement, releasing early and often to get fast feedback, and simplifying rather than overcomplicating designs.
The document discusses building and supporting communities. It emphasizes that a community is a group of connected, interacting people who find a sense of belonging and purpose through their shared passion. When building a community, one should envision the culture by defining values and behaviors, decide how it will benefit members and organizers, and determine the appropriate level of support while ensuring the community's interests come first. The key steps in building a community are design, seeding, launch, and achieving sustainability through grassroots growth.

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.

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.
