The New Way to Work: Engage in the On-Demand EconomyUnifyCo
Flexible work lifestyles mean more and more people are working mobile or remotely, contributing to virtual teams that may span the globe. The tools of the digital workplace like smart phones, cloud-based social collaboration and content sharing apps allow business to be done anytime, anywhere. These dramatic and fundamental changes have given rise to the next global phenomena: the “on-demand economy”.
This new demand model means capabilities and solutions are subscribed and rendered instantly as services. Project-based work engagements are brokered and ‘freelanced’ via the internet and skills-based networks. And new customer engagement models are emerging – fully leveraging the cloud, mobile apps, automation and contextual data.
Find out if your enterprise is ready to embrace the opportunities and challenges of the on-demand economy in these slides presented by Unify CEO Dean Douglas during his 2015 Futurecom keynote.

Measurement Process: Improving the ISO 15939 StandardLuigi Buglione
Over the past few years ISO has published a number of specific standards detailing processes included in a generic form in software development life cycle models. ISO 15939 on the Measurement process itself is an example of such specific ISO standard. This paper presents some suggestions for improvements to its Measurement Information Model and to the measurement plan within the planning process of ISO 15939.

Toward performance dialogue in public administration: the case of city of Tam...Harri Laihonen
IRSPM2016 Hong Kong. Public services are increasingly provided by networks of hybrid organization structures in which more than one public, private or nonprofit organization depends on another to perform a task. This structure adds ambiguity to public performance management, results in cultural tensions and, in many ways, challenges the ability of an individual manager to master the complexity of the operating environment. This paper sheds light on the change needed in performance management practices when a local government, a city in this case, aims to transform its management culture from an internally focused bureaucracy to an open and dialogue-based community in order to respond to the ongoing change in public management. The paper describes the case of the city of Tampere, Finland, and analyzes the evolution of the city’s performance management practices between 2010 and 2015. The results suggest that the future of public performance management should increasingly rely on continuous and iterative performance dialogue. The paper offers an approach for formalizing the dialogue.

Public Speaking Tips to Help You Be A Strong Leader.pdfPinta Partners
In the realm of effective leadership, a multitude of skills come into play, but one stands out as both crucial and challenging: public speaking.
Public speaking transcends mere eloquence; it serves as the medium through which leaders articulate their vision, inspire action, and foster engagement. For leaders, refining public speaking skills is essential, elevating their ability to influence, persuade, and lead with resolute conviction. Here are some key tips to consider: https://joellandau.com/the-public-speaking-tips-to-help-you-be-a-stronger-leader/
Org Design is a core skill to be mastered by management for any successful org change.
Org Topologies™ in its essence is a two-dimensional space with 16 distinctive boxes - atomic organizational archetypes. That space helps you to plot your current operating model by positioning individuals, departments, and teams on the map. This will give a profound understanding of the performance of your value-creating organizational ecosystem.
Specific ServPoints should be tailored for restaurants in all food service segments. Your ServPoints should be the centerpiece of brand delivery training (guest service) and align with your brand position and marketing initiatives, especially in high-labor-cost conditions.

Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

7. Measurement task
• Benefits of NewWoW initiatives are not self-evident and
thus measurements are needed to verify them. There is a
lack of studies focused on the actual business impacts of
different working arrangements.
• Research question: How to measure productivity impacts
of NewWoW?
8. Measurement challenges
• how to identify which factors are actually impacted?
• how to take into account the fact that impacts may vary
regarding the working role and organizational level in
question?
• how to distinguish the impact resulting from the change in
question in comparison to other factors affecting
productivity at the same time (e.g. changes in business
environment)?
• how to deal with the time lag between the change and the
realization of impacts
9. Proposed measurement

10. Towards actual measures
Phases in performance measurement
system design
Examples in NewWoW impact measurement setting
I. Defining the measurement task in
question (i.e., what is the purpose
for measurement?)
- demonstrating the role of NewWow practices as a strategic issue affecting the
productivity of knowledge-based organisations
- providing evidence about the impacts of a NewWow-related change initiative
- following and managing the functioning of NewWow practices on a continuous
basis
- supporting the change process (guide employees)
II. Identification of the factors to be
measured
- (1) Productivity change
- (2) Change in input and process factors
- (3) Impact of intervention to productivity change excluding other affecting factors
III. Planning the actual measurement
and choosing metrics to be used
- (1) Survey measuring employees’ subjective evaluation on productivity change
- (1) Output/input ratio
- (2) Survey measuring the applicability of facilities for conducting the work
- (2) Employee satisfaction survey
- (2) Knowledge flow audit
- (3) In-depth interviews
- (3) Observations
- (3) Statistical methods
IV. Implementation of the measures;
execution based on the choices
made during the previous steps
- Collecting the data, training personnel etc.
- (1) Before-after comparison
- (2) Before-after comparison
- (3) After the change intervention
V. Analysis and reporting of
measurement results
- Who needs the measurement information?
- How is the information analysed and reported?
- Linking the analysis of the results to managerial actions and decision-making
11. Objective metrics
• Cost efficiency … through the efficiency of office space
utilization
• Manually: walkthrough method…
• Digitally: precise space utilization data available is some advanced
cases
• Environmental performance
• CO2 emissions (from offices and / or from commuting)
13. Conclusions and our future
research
• Empirical research needed
• The proposed measurement framework provides a basis for the
empirical research and helps both in planning the measurement
arrangement and in designing the actual measures.
• Practical experience of applying the framework in different
organizational contexts (e.g., with different purposes for
measurement) is needed.
• Currently carrying out a empirical study regarding the measurement
of NewWoW initiatives
• Wider societal implications of NewWoW requires different
kind of measurement approach.
