Backbase Webinar: The Adjacent Possible for Banks Backbase
Slides of the November 1, 2016 webinar 'The Adjacent Possible for Banks'.
Digitally platformed customer experiences are rewiring consumer expectations. To resist competition, banks need new perspectives and fresh thought processes.
Now, in 2016, we see every bank engaging with a series of fundamental challenges.
· How should they take best advantage of the digital revolution?
· How can they harness its power to improve their customer experience?
· What strategic directions should they choose?
We believe the best answers are contained in an approach called the Adjacent Possible. The Adjacent Possible provides a powerful conceptual framework for a bank’s digital strategy. So what is this framework? And how can it be applied? See the webinar or check out the slides for more info.
Our guest speaker on this topic is Nic Parmaksizian, an award-winning FS specialist with a record for delivering innovative digital experiences and customer journeys. Nic leads Capco Digital business across EMEA. Nic has spent more than 15 years in the Financial Services industry and has worked with the world’s most important banks.

The Backbase webinar slides on Wednesday, 30th March: Embrace FinTech with Jouk Pleiter and Jelmer de Jong.
In this webinar, Jouk Pleiter and Jelmer de Jong of Backbase will talk about how banks turn the threat into opportunity and embrace fintech. Fintech is a hot market. All around the world, startups are launching, challenger banks are formed, and fintech is on everybody's lips. In this free webinar, we reveal how banking and financial services can learn from these new fintech players, and how banks can use fintech companies and fintech vision to accelerate their own digital transformation, with strong focus on:
How to leverage fintech in your digital strategy.
The emerging Banking as a Service (BaaS) model.
The impact of the open fintech API ecosystem.
Initiating rapid business innovation.
Real-world examples.
Financial institutions in Europe are preparing to confront a major legislation revision for the banking industry: the proposal for a revised directive on payment services in the internal market, better known as Payment Services Directive, or PSD2.
PSD2 represents one of the single biggest changes in banking industry history, because it’s the first time banks will be obligated by law to open their infrastructures to third parties. Many banks are concerned about this legislation, feeling exposed and under attack from new entrants. It also enables customers to be in the driving seat when it comes to their finances. Yet, does it need to be a huge threat?
In this special, exclusive webinar, Jouk Pleiter and Jelmer de Jong of Backbase talk about what PSD2 means for the banking industry, and how can banks can prepare for this inevitable change. We are looking at:
What PSD2 actually is
PSD2 and the connection with APIs
PSD2’s impact on banks
New entrants in the banking space
The bank’s fundamental strategic choice: the defensive or offensive strategy
Opportunities to capitalise on.
OpenStreetMap and CycleStreets: collaborative map-making and cartography in t...CycleStreets
Abstract: The arrival of web-based mapping from Google and others has revolutionised, in the space of only five years, the way many people interact with maps and map data. And the success of projects such as Wikipedia highlight how collation of small amounts of information from large numbers of people - an approach called 'crowdsourcing' - can challenge traditional models of data collection and ownership. Bringing these concepts together is OpenStreetMap, a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Well-established enterprises such as the Ordnance Survey are coming under increased pressure from this new model, and large companies such as MapQuest and Microsoft are starting to use and invest in it. Martin Lucas-Smith, Webmaster in the Department, and one of two main developers of the leading UK-wide cycle journey planner website, CycleStreets, will discuss OpenStreetMap, its use within a wide range of systems (from cartography, routing, and even its central role helping deal with the Haiti disaster) and discuss the challenges it poses to traditional forms of cartography and data collection.

When we talk about financial inclusion, we always talk about access for financial services and the financial literacy level. Adding geospatial data in research can help the readers understanding the phenomena in some area. There are a lot of source for geospatial data, one of the source is OpenStreetMap. OpenStreetMap is one of free and open-source platform who provide maps for everyone. OpenStreetMap give us spatial data in various ways and if we talk about financial inclusion, we can use OpenStreetMap data to know the financial services location. This slide will talk about the benefit of using geospatial data, especially OpenStreetMap data for enhance the research in financial inclusion sector

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
