Digital Transformation goes beyond your device and cloud strategy. These are mechanisms with which we deliver our digital assets but do not the actual transformation itself.
This discussion focuses on the essentials to actually transform an enterprise when culture and environments will be barriers to speed of success.
Using learnings from the book, Switch, by Chip & Dan Heath, we see how addressing three separate facets of change are truly necessary for genuine Digital Transformation.
This is a basic discussion for all audiences: business, technical, strategic, and tactical. The slide notes (may need to download to see these) contain details in depth.

SYMPOSIUM 2016 : CONFÉRENCE 803 - REVIEW OF BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION FRAMEWORK...PMI-Montréal
Business transformation is a radical and risky change approach that enables organizations to add substantial value and survive in face of increasing environmental pressures. To succeed, business transformations should be managed as projects. In academic and practice literature, frameworks were suggested to guide organizations through a business transformation journey. We analyze three business transformation frameworks from a project management perspective. We find that such frameworks could be seen as project delivery approaches. Nonetheless, project management knowledge areas are not evenly embraced by all frameworks. We conclude with a discussion on the practical and research challenges of the use of these frameworks

Sync or swim: the challenge of complex offline appsOutSystems
Video: https://www.outsystems.com/learn/courses/56/webinar-the-challenge-of-complex-offline-apps/
The requirement is usually stated in very simple terms: deliver an app that is available in all connectivity conditions. However, the solution can be anything but simple.
When data management rears its ugly head, things get really tricky fast..How are you going to synchronize that data?
Conflicts will most definitely occur and the strategy to approach them depends on how clever your implementation is.
There is no silver bullet! But we can help you think it through. If you were on hand when we showed you how to discover some of the most common sync patterns and techniques, you got a preview.
Make no mistake, though: we're going beyond the common and we're delving deep. So, if you weren’t around for Create Your Offline App, no worries - we’ll get you fully up to speed. We're not going to feed you for a day, we're here to teach you how to fish!
In this webinar you will:
- Review some of the common sync patterns OutSystems handles.
- Understand how the synchronization process happens in the background.
- Learn how to translate offline-first thinking into development best practices.
- Learn how to implement a more advanced sync scenario.

Paul Hermelin Capgemini Chairman and CEO at the Capgemini Infrastructure Summit last January highlighted the conflicting tensions within IT organizations, particularly in light of the fact that IT system limitations are among the top three most significant barriers to business digitization.
IT departments have a short window to become “ sexy” again in the eyes of their clients. To overcome challenges by shadow IT and the rapid pace of business change, CIOs must pull two triggers simultaneously—technological innovation and organizational transformation.
To overcome those challenges this paper illustrates:
- The need for IT organizations to accelerate their move to the Cloud to deliver value in the digital age
- Use cases where IT can act as a business partner for digital innovation
- Principles to shape your next IT delivery model
- Key success factors on how to get there

A construction company revolutionizing its business by creating a more efficient operating model. What can we learn from these organizations’ experiences in navigating the often ambiguous and seemingly risky transformations, that are starting to produce results? Do the leaders of these diverse industries share common pivots? What does it feel like to lead such transformations?
This comes at a time when becoming digital is top on many organizations’ agendas, but few are seeing results*. To find some answers, we held lively and open conversations with 12 digital leaders across industries and geographies (organizations that are starting to realize value from their transformation efforts).
Using this wealth of information, combined with the design principles for an agile organization, we start to paint a picture of practical tactics for building and operating a successful agile organization.
Special thanks to all the thought leaders interviewed!

Ignore middle managers at your peril!!!. Why middle managers hold the key to ...IQ Business - agility@IQ
Lack of Executive buy-in is known to be one the leading causes of failed Agile transformations! But what about another level of management buy-in that can either make or break your agile transformation efforts… Middle management!
Based on my experience in large corporate organisations undergoing an agile transformation, I have encountered massive support and buy-in from senior leadership and executives. Yet, still some of these transformations have failed to see the significant improvement in results that there were expecting. Middle management are often overlooked in Agile transformation initiatives, yet they are the people most effected by the change… and therefore the most likely to resist.
This presentation provides a quick overview about the leadership development of IT Professionals, key leadership issues and the benefits of using various best practice methodologies.
APM ProgM SIG webinar 26th March 2014.
Authors of the Gower Handbook of Programme Management were brought together to review developments since 2006.
Paul Rayner sadly died on 1st August 2011. Paul was a very highly respected expert in project and programme management, a popular speaker, spreading the word about programme management throughout the UK and Europe.
Delivering Value through Benefits – John Chapman
John says “At the time we wrote the original manuscript projects were focused on the technology, people and resources. There wasn’t much focus on benefits. Perhaps that was a reflection on project delivery.
Since then, organisational competencies in programme and project management had grown, there was increased ‘brain space’ to understand the impact of the change.
There is now a recognition that IT systems are enablers helping to solve business problems. Projects create deliverables, outputs or in PRINCE terms, products. Another analogy is baking a cake – we actually need to eat it if we are to derive the benefit.
People is difficult – Adrian Pyne
Adrian says “I am talking about the PEOPLE stuff. How people behave, as individuals or in groups, namely the culture and environment of the project.
Well yes there is a bit of Leadership, Stakeholder Management , Communications. Even lots on the project organisation, but that is not really about people, its more about what processes their roles are about.
There is also a great deal about teams out there, but not much specifically in the projects space. And that is the issue.
He advocates creating organisations fit for projects, through integrating and adapting its processes, tools and above all else, through its organisation culture - its people.
Evolution of Governance - Geof Leigh
Geof explained that Best practice guidance hasn’t changed substantially in the last 30 years. IT promised to revolutionise governance by providing a ‘silver bullet’ but it didn’t happen. Executives disconnected and projects and programmes were left to fend for themselves.
Ten years ago he explained the governance those performing governance seemed to be unclear about their role. They were often under self-imposed pressure from their strategies and business plans.
Geoff went on to characterise what good governance looks like today.
Has Portfolio Management come of age? Geoff Reiss
Geoff cited Gartner and Forrester Studies in 2001/3 surveys showed that only one in four programmes delivered a measurable benefit
In 2004/7 PWC surveys showed that those organisations who were using portfolio management believed they were getting better results!
Activity in this area has ramped up considerably. APM has created the Portfolio and Benefits Management SIGs a wide range of software tools for portfolio managers have emerged.
There are still a significant number of ‘pet projects’ that make it through as the brainchild of a powerful individual, PPM generally had matured and spread its influence.
Scrum Transformation - 1 year after - our story - Agile by Example 2017pproductivity
15 minutes, three presenters, one story - 1 year of Agile transformation within Fru.pl told by Paweł Gawliczek (CTO) and Marta Borkowska-Bierć (People aspects) and Piotr Nabielec (Produktywni.pl, process aspects).
This presentation took place during Agile by Example 2017 conference in Warsaw.
Performance improvement initiatives – whether under the banner of Six Sigma, Lean or any other methodology label – are fragile. Not all of them survive. Not all of them realize their potential. In fact, if there’s one thing of which we can all be certain, it is that initiatives don’t last - at least, not as
initiatives. They either become embedded into the standard set of management practices within the company or they die.
Right at the top of the sceptical heap is the Board of Directors. You may have collated the necessary stats, analysed the opportunities and threats and identified the technologies that could transform how you do business. But all of this is for naught if you cannot convince the Board, for whom most of your arguments may be far outside their scope of experience.This is a communications challenge, not merely a strategic one.
So how do you persuade the board?

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...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).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
