Enterprise Architecture is a relatively new field. It is difficult to find, hire, train, and retain good enterprise architects. But what personality traits can be used to find a good enterprise architect? Nick Malik started by surveying dozens of Chief Architects and CIOs, asking them to describe their best enterprise architects on a personality trait scale. The results were surprising. We are hiring for the wrong traits and, in some cases, we are not encouraging the traits that lead to success. Dig in.

Design Sprints have become widely adopted globally by companies as a tool for #innovation and problem-solving and one of the most hyped processes around.
We designed Design Sprint 3.0 as a response to being in Sprints where we realised our clients did not know what the problem was, or if it even existed. Or alternatively, the problems we were tackling were too broad to allow a practical solution or too narrow to be worth the investment.
So we have re-engineered the Design Sprint framework to conclusively define the problem before the sprint, get the stakeholder buy-in, and ensure the sprint team is working on a problem worth the investment.
Here's how it differs from the original process popularised by the book SPRINT by Jake Knapp, that we will refer to as Design Sprint 1.0.

Entrepreneurship is defined as the starting of new businesses, usually by an individual who identified a gap in the market and trail blazed their way to success as sole owner and CEO. But you don’t have to share this passion of building your own business to see the value in utilising the same skills for your future career aspirations! We explore the relevancy of entrepreneurial skills for your career in this free one-hour webinar, and hear from a USQ student about how she found success by nurturing these skills and taking a chance.
Critique is a practice to constructively shape and evolve work. This simple presentation covers the what, best practices and pitfalls to avoid in your practice.
Infuse design thinking and innovation into your day-to-day work. Creating new value and tackling big problems isn’t contingent on a prescribed sequence or linear design process. It’s about maintaining a core set of principles that create the foundation for a flexible, behavioral methodology to tackle any situation.
People buy from people that they like. If you understand the basic personality of each person you speak with and adapt your presentation to them, you close more business. Learn S4 and close more.
Innovation leadership is a philosophy and technique that combines different leadership styles to influence employees to produce creative ideas, products, and services.
In this presentation we’ll discuss the importance of critique and a language for discussing design. It can be easy to complain about the way things are and theorize on the way things should be. Progress comes from understanding why something is the way it is and then examining how it meets or does not meet its desired goals. This is critique. Critique is not about describing how bad something is, or proposing the ultimate solution. Critique is a dialogue, a conversation that takes place to better understand how we got to where we are, how close we are to getting where we want to go and what we have left to do to get there.
The contents of this presentation will focus on:
understanding critique
best practices for incorporating critiques into a design practice
identifying common challenges to critique and ways to improve our ability to deliver, collect and receive critique

Unlocking Productivity: Leveraging the Potential of Copilot in Microsoft 365, a presentation by Christoforos Vlachos, Senior Solutions Manager – Modern Workplace, Uni Systems
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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).

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.

Stick to What
Works
Refers to seemingly unrelated or "out of the box" ideas in their work
tending toward new approaches over existing practices. Loves to
learn and often incorporate new concepts in their work.
Creatively combines ideas, concepts, and reference
implementations in uncommon but interesting ways. Regularly
researches new ideas and occasionally present them to the team.
Focuses on "tried and true" patterns to deliver highly-
functional designs, extending in small ways that others
recommend. Adopts new ideas at their employer’s request.
Resists new ideas but is willing to compromise when
their team has been convinced. Only occasionally
researches a new idea or learns on their own.
Unaware of new ideas, tools, or approaches and
seems uninterested in learning them.

21. Conclusions • Many of the traits that correlate with success
are obvious, like social boldness, seeking
consensus, and inquisitiveness.
• Other traits are surprising.
– Being well organized, detail oriented, and
prudent are traits that align well to success,
yet we do not hire for them.
– Being confident or a charming storyteller does
not equate to success. Other factors matter
more.
• Traits associated with being an extrovert in
professional settings correlate highly to
success. We should focus on hiring for social
skills.

Editor's Notes
I was not going to use the long form questionnaire from Lee and Ashton. I was going to ask a single question for each dimension.
I wanted to share the names of the dimensions, so I needed to remove any bias toward one side of the scale.
Also, I wanted to focus the dimensions away from day-to-day life and focus on how they are expressed in the workplace.
The bad thing about this visualization is that the scales are really independent of one another. Adjacency doesn’t mean anything. That’s the downside of using a two-dimensional diagram for an n-dimensional illustration.
At one end of the scale, a humble architect avoids manipulating others, is not tempted to break rules, and feel no special entitlement to elevated social status.
At the other end, a confident architect will flatter others to get agreement, is inclined to break rules to achieve ends, and feel a strong sense of self importance.
Unobtrusive and self deprecating
Follows the steps in the framework to produce the expected outputs

On one end of the spectrum, an emotional architect will experience anxiety in response to stress, seek emotional support from others, and feel empathy and sentimental attachments with others, including stakeholders.
On the other end, a detached architect will feel little worry even in stressful situations, will have little need to share their concerns with others, and may be emotionally detached from others.
Anxious and concerned about stakeholder feelings and seeks approval before proceedingSeeks some validation in their deliverables and opinions, cares about building communityRelatively confident in stressful situations but wary of getting too far away from consensus A bit of a lone wolf, may push for things the customer needs but did not ask forDetached and unafraid, this architect does not need validation of others to be right

Architects on one end of this spectrum feel positively about themselves, feel confident when leading or addressing groups of people, enjoy social gatherings and interactions, and experience positive feelings of enthusiasm and energy.
On the other end, an architect may consider themselves to be unpopular, feel awkward when they are the center of social attention, are indifferent to social activities, and feel less lively and optimistic than others do.

On one end, a highly agreeable architect is quick to forgive the wrongs that they suffered, is lenient in judging others, is willing to compromise and cooperate with others, and can easily control their temper.
Conversely, a tempestuous architect may hold grudges against those who have disagreed with or challenged them, are rather critical of others' shortcomings, are stubborn in defending their point of view, and feel anger readily in response to a loss of face.

On one end of the scale, the architect will organize their time and their physical surroundings, work in a disciplined way toward their goals, strive for accuracy and perfection in their tasks, and deliberate carefully when making decisions.
On the other end of the scale, the architect tends to be unconcerned with orderly surroundings or schedules, avoids difficult tasks or challenging goals, is satisfied with work that contains some errors, and makes decisions on emotion rather than data.

On one end of this scale, an architect finds beauty in nature, art, and systems. They are inquisitive about various domains of knowledge, use their imagination freely in everyday life, and take an interest in unusual ideas or people.
An architect at the other end of the scale is rather unimpressed by most works of art, feels little intellectual curiosity, avoids creative pursuits, and feels little attraction toward ideas that may seem radical or unconventional.
This architect will refer to seemingly unrelated or "out of the box" ideas in their work tending toward new approaches over existing practices. They love to learn new ideas and techniques and often incorporate new concepts in their work.The architect will creatively combine ideas, concepts, and reference implementations in uncommon but interesting ways.

HEXACO provides for 25 traits for the six dimensions
I used 23 of them. I deleted two.
One was Diligence. – the tendency to work hard. I deleted that because you don’t hire for diligence.
You simply fire for lack of diligence. It’s therefore not a question worth asking in a corporate setting
The other was Greed Avoidance (in the Humility Dimension). I inserted a personal bias as a hiring manager on this one.
Our capitalistic society intentionally rewards people who appear to desire wealth. We use it to motivate people. Yet
we reinforce the behavior of “not” showing off wealth in the workplace. Given the taboos around talking about greed,
And the limited impact it would have on architecture work, asking about greed avoidance would not produce meaningful third-party answers.
Note that Altruistic does not align to a single dimension in Hexaco.

Sociability - enjoys social situations, talking, and parties. Outwardly extroverted
We hire for Creativity, Patience and Inquisitiveness, and these traits align very well with successful architects.
We hire for courage, empathy, and self reliance, very strongly hitting the dimension of emotionality vs. detachment. Yet, the most successful architects are in the middle of that spectrum, not at either end. We ask for all three, but success requires a balance of each.
All the successful architects are in the center of the agreeableness spectrum, yet we are only hiring for one of the traits: patience. We need to look for a balance of forgiveness, gentleness, and flexibility as well.
We are not hiring for being well organized, detail oriented or prudent, yet those traits strongly correlate with success. This is the biggest “miss” of the findings.
We hire for Social Boldness, yet the most effective architects also exhibit sociability, liveliness and self esteem. We should be hiring for more socially extroverted traits than we are.
Full descriptions are on a prior slide
We are not hiring for Prudence or Detail orientation, yet these traits are both important to success and the highest focus for self improvement in the staff.
Patience correlates with effectiveness, yet we are not encouraging the trait of patience.
We don’t encourage empathy, yet empathy is a substantial requirement for human-centered design and digital transformation.
