The document discusses advances in appreciative inquiry theory and positive institutions. It describes how appreciative inquiry involves shifting perspectives to see problems as opportunities and everything as a miracle. Positive institutions are defined as organizations that elevate, connect, and magnify human strengths. Examples are provided of how appreciative inquiry was used in large-scale collaborations with hundreds of organizations to design sustainable value networks and initiatives.

KEITH WHITTINGHAM is a Professor at the Crummer Graduate School of Business at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, USA, where he teaches courses in Social Entrepreneurship, Global Sustainability and Quantitative Analysis. He also serves as Visiting Faculty in the Sustainability Seminar at INCAE, in Alajuela, Costa Rica. Over the past decade, Keith has taken several groups of MBA students to Latin America and the Caribbean to work with local businesses on Rollins Global Consulting Projects.
Keith’s research focus is on micro- to medium-sized enterprises, primarily in Latin America and the Caribbean. Raised in Trinidad and Tobago, Keith acquired an early interest in global sustainable development. His studies in engineering (BSEE Howard University, Ph.D. Cornell University) led to interests in renewable energy and developed skills in innovation and problem solving. However, it is during the last decade of teaching MBA students that he has become a strong proponent of enterprise and entrepreneurship as powerful vehicles in addressing global social concerns.
Additionally, over the past decade, his acclaimed Leadership/Organizational Development workshop series, “Aligning People and Passions” has impacted and ignited hundreds of participants across the United States, at companies like Walt Disney World and Darden Restaurants.
PRESENTATION SUMMARY – Positioning HR for Organizational Leadership in Corporate Social Responsibility Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has achieved a prominent place among strategic imperatives in the world of business. CEOs and other corporate leaders have come to recognize a broader sense of obligation; not just to financial shareholders, but to a diverse array of stakeholders. Across organizations, however, the focal point of CSR activities has not been consistently located. In some organizations, this role is housed in an independent department, while in others the function resides within Marketing, PR or even Finance. With its dual functions of internal support and external face, the HR department has great potential to interface with many important organizational stakeholders.
However, many HR professionals are yet to fully understand CSR and the role they can play in this area of growing visibility and importance. This presentation aims to build HR intelligence in the CSR arena. We will explore how the various HR functions can serve the CSR mission of the organization, while CSR, in turn, can further the recruitment and retention efforts of HR.

Thriving in the Circular Economy: Product Design and Business Practices for “...Antea Group
With current and upcoming resource constraints, plus society's growing disapproval of "disposable" products, it's time to design and offer products to leverage existing resources and keep them in the economy after use. This webinar will walk participants along the path from the make-and-waste Linear Economy to the use-and-reuse Circular Economy.
The Circular Economy sounds good financially and environmentally, but how does one actually transform an industry from the Linear to the Circular Economy? This presentation (given by Pamela Gordon as part of the NAEM 2017 webinar series) will provide specific ways of implementing Circular Economy design and business practices at manufacturing companies, with examples from the tech industry that will inspire all industries.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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.

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