The document discusses building a successful digital team and governance structure. It outlines 3 key drivers of digital success: strategy, tactics, and execution. It emphasizes that a strong digital team with the right competencies is critical, and assessing existing strengths and gaps is important. It also stresses that digital governance is challenging given different brands and markets, and that digital opportunities need common platforms and consistency across applications. Organizations should define goals and challenges, evaluate digital resources, and ensure structures support digital initiatives in a cross-functional way.
1. A backhoe is a hydraulic excavating machine consisting of a tractor and attached hinged boom with a bucket used for excavation and digging on construction sites. This particular backhoe had a 23-inch wide bucket.
2. Various types of vents are described that allow attic ventilation to prevent heat buildup and allow water vapor to escape, including gable, roof turbine, ridge, and soffit vents.
3. Different types of windows are defined, including sliding windows that have one fixed sash and one that moves horizontally, casement windows that pivot on a vertical edge, and single hung windows that have two overlapping sashes where the lower one slides vertically.

The document discusses a presentation given on cloud computing and how it can enable a more agile infrastructure. It begins with an introduction to cloud computing and Amazon Web Services, including computing, storage, and database services. It then outlines benefits of the cloud like elasticity, pay-as-you-go models, and avoiding delays from procuring your own infrastructure. In the end, it encourages attendees to experiment with building infrastructure in the cloud.
India ranks low in global innovation despite its large population due to low investment in research and development and a lack of transparency. The document proposes a solution to establish 120 coordinators across 30 regions to better manage funds, communicate with researchers and the government, and ensure innovations reach end-users. Coordinators would be graduates with communication and managerial skills, paid Rs. 30,000 per month plus travel expenses. They would receive training and work with selectors from research institutes to implement the system at various levels from schools to businesses. This is estimated to cost Rs. 50 million initially for hiring plus Rs. 48 million monthly for salaries and expenses, but would positively impact students, farmers, businesses and employment. Risks include funds
The document provides background on the geography of Australia and the indigenous peoples who first inhabited the continent. It notes that Australia is geologically stable, with mountain ranges along the east coast marking the opening of the Tasman Sea. The Shield volcano Mount Nandewar significantly influenced landforms over millions of years as the continent drifted. Indigenous Australians arrived some 40,000-60,000 years ago from Asia, spreading east and south and establishing early trade routes. Their lifestyle centered on living in harmony with the fragile natural environment.

They will discuss topics like the future of video creation and distribution, the impact of social media, and innovative uses of online tools.
This document discusses the Timeliner concept for facilitating collaborative research paper writing. It aims to help researchers cooperatively identify publication opportunities, contribute to an open research environment, and support teamwork. The Timeliner concept manages writing tasks and resources stored on web services, drawing from fields like computer-supported cooperative work, knowledge retrieval and representation, and creative collaboration. The researchers welcome future work and collaboration with others on this project.
This document discusses using social media, especially Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube, to launch and promote a franchise business. It introduces the author and their experience. Benefits of social media mentioned include connecting with customers, building a sense of community, and getting messages out for free. Specific profiles and pages for the business are recommended to be set up on each platform. The importance of regularly updating content and cross-linking across platforms is emphasized.
The global economy is recovering but growth remains heavily dependent on short-term factors like the end of destocking and fiscal stimulus. Unemployment remains high in many countries and household demand is subdued. Europe is recovering but the fiscal crisis raises risks and unemployment has only moderately risen due to wage subsidies. Japan's recovery will be supported by fiscal stimulus and exports but weak domestic demand is causing deflation. China's growth was supported by stimulus but this exacerbated imbalances.
Liviu Gherman discusses how business agility is the main driver of competitiveness in today's volatile economic environment. He argues that companies need to continuously innovate, experiment with new approaches, and fight conventional wisdom in order to spur economic growth. To achieve sustainable growth, companies must reform processes through innovation rather than just cost cutting. Further, the rate of creative destruction, or innovation making existing products obsolete, has accelerated dramatically in recent decades due to greater information availability and customer expectations of instant gratification. As a result, business agility has become critical for companies to remain competitive. Oracle aims to help companies achieve business agility through its integrated suite of middleware products that provide operational, management, and technology excellence.
This document discusses the concepts of enterprise gamification. It provides examples of how game mechanics and dynamics can be applied in business contexts to engage employees and solve problems. Some key applications mentioned include using points, badges and leaderboards to motivate sales teams or encourage employees to learn new software. Gamification is presented as a way to promote collaboration, learning, innovation and social business design within organizations.
The document discusses various elements to consider when designing a game, including player styles, goals, roles, challenges, conflicts, feedback systems, and rules. It explores using games to help players experience values like tolerance by allowing them to take on roles in different scenarios and worlds representing various cultural values. The goal is for players to feel values in an engaging way that leads to greater awareness and appreciation of values as forces for positive change.
The Sumba Iconic Island Initiative aims to electrify 95% of Sumba Island, Indonesia using 100% renewable energy by 2025. Currently, only 1 in 4 households on Sumba Island has access to electricity, with most power coming from expensive diesel generators. The initiative is a collaborative partnership between government agencies, NGOs, private companies, and donors to increase access to renewable energy from sources like solar, wind, hydro, and biomass in order to alleviate poverty and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Institute for Essential Services Reform acts in an advisory role and helps identify potential community renewable energy projects to support the goals of the Sumba Iconic Island Initiative and Indonesia's national campaign to achieve sustainable
