Designing for customer needs frequently leads to higher-quality goods and services in addition to innovative outcomes. This is because an effective design process uncovers hidden customer needs. This discovery, and the subsequent solving of the problems that kept customer needs hidden, will lead to innovation. In this presentation, Juran Global CEO Dr. Joseph A. DeFeo focuses on the 4 steps to drive process innovation that every organization needs to embrace.

The Agile PMO - practical value driven change leadership in projects and portfolios
Conclusive research findings show that approximately %50 of PMOs are disbanded in two years. Yet, we repeat the same mistakes in our PMO implementations – wasting money, resources and most important – wasting time. In this presentation we focus on the value driven PMO as an integrator, enabler, differentiator, and change agent in business, development and the organization in general.
We analyze the essential model for PMO value enablement which answers:
• What is the strategic role of the value driven PMO in business;
• How to ensure effective streamlined delivery;
• How to effectively select and prioritize opportunities;
• How to manage resource allocation.
Key take away – a PMO must deliver value to the organization constantly. Value isn’t templates, tools and processes rather it is the ability to finish the right projects faster!

A project sponsored in 2010 by the Aerospace Vehicle Systems Institute (AVSI), AFE 74, engaged a community of reliability subject matter experts to develop a reliability prediction technology roadmap based on a collaborative quality function deployment (QFD) industry assessment. The QFD provided a means to capture multiple viewpoints in a detailed enumeration of the needs, priorities and potential solutions for new reliability prediction methods to better support reliable system design processes. The discussions that were inspired by conducting this QFD provided an opportunity to open communications on some very divisive reliability prediction issues and helped bring the community together to solve the challenges of improving the utility of reliability predictions for the future. This presentation summarizes the findings of each step of the QFD, the reliability predictions roadmap derived from the QFD and discusses steps being taken to implement the roadmap..

Measuring The Service Provided By Project Management - WhitepaperColin Ellis
In 2015, the highly respected Standish Group stated that whilst some projects met time and cost constraints many customers were unhappy about the service they received. We think that has to change and have developed a tool to help you.
Abstract: Digital technologies have made customers powerful, giving them the option to choose and the means to instantaneously spread their opinions widely. They have become demanding, and they change brands without a blink if their experience with the product or service isn’t what they expect. Brand loyalty, therefore, has taken a backseat and customer experience has emerged supreme. In an IBM survey, 95% of CEOs said enhancing customer experience was top priority for them. Security forms a core foundation for enhancing customer experience!
Typically security has been inward looking focusing more on technology vulnerabilities and less on securing business objectives. Securing the digital enterprise entails looking outside-in, to protect customer experience its strategic objective. Also, internally the digital enterprise needs assurance against vulnerabilities introduced by
digital technologies like cloud, IoT etc.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.
Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
As part of the DOE Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program, NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and ALCF at Argonne National Lab are working closely with General Atomics on accelerating the computing requirements of the DIII-D experiment. As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.
