The traditional organizational structure of workers sat at desktops, connecting to a business application protected by a firewall is rapidly eroding. In a short period of time we have gone from a wired and bound world, to an unwired "internet in the pocket" world. Driven by the power of the cloud and the crowd, enterprise technology is experiencing innovation at an unparalleled pace with no sign of things slowing down. In this keynote session we will look at what this new digital infrastructure enables, both the positive opportunities for truly social business to emerge alongside the challenges and serious unresolved issues it also raises.

Webinar: The Third Wave of Nonprofit Technology: Technology for Social Change...

TechSoup

Sam Chenkin discuss the changing nature of technology within nonprofit organizations. Using technology to be efficient is no longer enough to stay relevant as a nonprofit. Even using data effectively is old news. Today, nonprofits are expected to “disrupt” social ills through the network effects and scale of technology. This event explains this trend, its opportunities, and its dangers. We talk about how the commodification of data storage, analytics, and AI is making software development a compelling option for nonprofits. And we talk about how your nonprofit can take an idea from inception through to the creation of a website or app.

It covered a work in progress snapshot of CIF's latest research on the Hybrid Cloud/Multi Cloud landscape. Highlighted that Security and Sustainability are top of mind, and then went on to explain why David Terrar thinks 2023 is a tipping point and the start of the Third Wave of the Internet (incorporating web 3.0, Web3, generative AI, eXtended Reality, virtual reality, and the new ways we will be interacting with technology using voice, gestures, vision and eye tracking).

Public Sector Enterprise ICT 2020 - Chairman's Address - 24 Nov 2020

David Terrar

My scene setting slides from Whitehall Media's ESICT 2020 conferen ce 24 November 2020. We love in exponential times. The rate of change last century has accelerated this century, but nobody prepared us for the changes in 2020. Now work isn't somewhere you go, it's something you do. We've been around one the planet for 200,000 years. We've been through 3 complicated industrial revolutions, but this fourth one brings us in to the complex. A small change can have massive implications. The small change this year was COVID-19. An virus none of us can see that has changed life and work for all of us. We need different thinking. We need exponential thinking to replace our linear thinking. An agile approach in place of business as usual. An approach where we shift from command and control and hierarchy to a more distributed style of leadership and a flatter organisation. We need to shift power to the edge, to be close to the customer. We need to recognise that digital transformation isn't a project, it needs to be a continuous approach to stay ahead of the competition. To adapt to survive.

Bringing the dots together for enabling change in a world of complexity

David Terrar

Here is my presentation that closed the Digital Work Disruption virtual conference on 26 August 2020. I was asked to "join the dots" of all the topics covered at the conference, as well as suggest what's next. It covered the shift from linear thinking to exponential thinking. It covered the massive disruption and the shift to working from home that we have all just experienced. I give my perspective on the technology backdrop that has got us to today's complex fourth industrial revolution. We need a new kind of leadership, and a more distributed and networked approach to the way our organisations work. we discussed the importance of community, and how we need to reteach the lessons of the last 15 years of enterprise collaboration. Above all we need to focus on why we do what we do, and get better at telling our stories.

How will IT (and Business) plans and attitudes change post COVID-19

David Terrar

These are my presentation slides from the 29 April Cloud Industry Forum Members meeting where I gave my viewpoint and triggered group discussion on the changes in business and use of technology triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. The meeting was necessarily held as an online Teams meeting as we were 37 days in to the UK's lockdown. I discuss how digital transformation is being accelerated as firms are forced to have their knowledge workers working from home, often for the first time. Tools like Zoom and Teams have suddenly become mainstream and used daily and cloud technology underpins everything. Business is going through a fundamental change as people are forced to examine their business processes, shift online and work in new ways. The successful companies have the rigid open leadership, and think differently. We suggest Mutable Thinking, exponential thinking and different mindset is required for the "new normal". The presentation also uses some slides from Dion Hinchcliffe's Post-Pandemic Playbook, and some Tom Fishburne cartoons. There will be write up to accompany the slides on cloudindustryforum.org

Connected World 2019 - chair's opening comments

David Terrar

My slides setting the scene for the Connected World Summit 2019 an event covering Emerging Technology for Smart Cities, Connected Places & Tomorrow's Digital World. I covered how we live in exponential times. There has never been a time of greater promise of greater peril. We are dealing with a digital enterprise wave that, with AI, 5G, IoT and Blockchain is turning in top a Digital Tsunami. We are creating data faster than ever, but watch the numbers game and make sure you get your facts and ideas straight. Just like the parable of the 6 blind men and the elephant, everyone sees the connected world topic differently.

David Terrar

This is my keynote session at Channel Live on 12 September 2019. It covers Blockchain explaining what it is and isn’t. I cover why it is so transformational relevant for any Business Model. I go through real world case studies, not just proof of concepts. I touch on what implementations and frameworks exist and should be considered? I then talk about what the future look like? Blockchain is significant and business systems will evolve because of it. I move on to IoT (M2M), Industry 4.0 and why are they important. I explain the underlying factors and what the opportunity is for a reseller. I go on to demystify AI. What is it and why should you be interested now? Lastly I talk through why you should you factor blockchain, IoT and AI into your plans.

Where the value and ROI of collaboration tools could lie as your organisation looks to improve team working with external parties and across organisational boundaries.

Global Legal Hackathon in London Introduction

What is Design Thinking?

David Terrar

Is Design Thinking important? We think it is - it’s one of our 8 building blocks for digital transformation. But what it is it, and why? In the run up to the Global Legal Hackathon, we thought we’d distil our workshop slides and ideas with an associated blog post to explain it. Let’s set the scene with five quotes from experts and artists you will recognise explaining what design really is: "The ultimate defense against complexity” - David Gelernter, Professor of Computer Science, Yale "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” - Leonardo da Vinci "Design is a way of changing life and influencing the future” - Sir Ernest Hall. Pianist, Entrepreneur, and Philanthropist “Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People think it’s this veneer - that the designers are handed this box and told, ‘Make it look good!’ That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” - Steve Jobs “Design-thinking firms stand apart in their willingness to engage in the task of continuously redesigning their business… to create advances in both innovation and efficiency - the combination that produces the most powerful competitive edge.” - Roger Martin, author of the Design of Business

CIO Summit - introduction and the challenges facing the CIO

David Terrar

My introduction covering the themes of the day both in terms of the new digital landscape, and how it enables transformation. As we move in to what the World Economic Forum calls the 4th Industrial Revolution we face disruption - our business models are under threat, and we need to balance seizing new opportunities, with protecting existing revenues. He will set the scene for our topics that talk through those issues and cover the need for redefining security, the challenge of GDPR, consumer driven technology, the need for more collaboration and more.

From Framing the Mindset to Distributing Digital Patterns

David Terrar

Scene setting keynote introduction for Enterprise Digital Summit London on 24 October 2016 at the British Academy. This session framed the current digital landscape, discussing the incredible rate of change, the digital enterprise wave, the importance of Enterprise Social Networks as a foundation for transformation, technology bad, good and exciting, and positioning the culture and network centric leadership required for today's landscape. It set the scene for Chris Fussell's session on the shift from command and control to network centric team based management (co-author of the Team of Teams book), then Dr David Wilkinson's session on the neuroscience behind the shift to an agile thinking mindset, and then Jenni Lloyd's session on purpose and the emotional intelligence required to create a connected organisation.

David Terrar

My Rethinking Digital 2nd keynote from the i2 Summit 2015 in Zurich. About rethinking digital, providing building blocks and an implementation approach for your transformation, and hopefully inspiring you to do something differently tomorrow in your digital business efforts. Everyone's talking digital and it's dangerous... too dangerous to dilute the term, but crucially important that we understand it properly. Digital is becoming a synonym for technology or new or new technology. You need to understand the digital enterprise wave - the current disruptive landscape. Then here are 8 building blocks for transformation, and then our 7E approach to implementing change. Finally I echo Michael Corleone telling Sonny "it's not personal, it's business" with our version "it's not digital, it's business".

James Anderson

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management. The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM). Speakers: Bob Boule Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle. Gopinath Rebala Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)

Ralf Eggert

In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development. This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

Frank van Harmelen

Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”. All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
