Biography and Abstract
Jason Haye created Project 5am in 2007, stimulated by a peak experience during that exact moment in time and the Allen Ginsberg poem ‘Five am’. It was under this banner where Haye started to produce a series of interdisciplinary art works. Projects include the electronic album ‘Quixotes of Moons Fight The Windmills of Brixton’ and the experimental short film ‘Some kind of wonderful’ which was one of the films chosen for the Danish film auteur Lars Von Trier community project 'Gesamt' at the 2012 Copenhagen Art Festival.
A curiosity to find an academic language for the intuitive process of Project 5am led Haye to study a BA Fine Art degree at the University Campus of Suffolk. Haye graduated in 2014 and his latest project titled ‘Flux Without Pause’ highlights how matching micro-narratives against meta-narratives in the ‘third space’ is key for transformation and change. The inspiration for ‘Flux Without Pause’ came from Haye’s own experience of challenging institutional racism during his final year at university.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.
Specific ServPoints should be tailored for restaurants in all food service segments. Your ServPoints should be the centerpiece of brand delivery training (guest service) and align with your brand position and marketing initiatives, especially in high-labor-cost conditions.

Be Real
Be Whole
Be Innovative
“I came to understand the value of education, not just to enable me
to make a good living, but to enable me to make a worthwhile life.”
- Ruth Simmons
"There has been an attitude of say nothing, offend no one, but
that's not the way I wanted to do the job. I'm prevented from
engaging in partisan politics, but I've never hesitated to be political
when required. I want people to see me as a woman of integrity -
not some two-dimensional cut-out."
- Ruth Simmons
“Her presence at Smith has changed the agenda for most people.
On campus, everyone thinks in a way they didn’t think before—in
terms of possibilities. She took away our limitations and brought us
back to Oz.”
- Brenda Allen, director of institutional diversity at Smith

Work
Family
Self
Community
Family/friend neglect
• On leading an elite
higher education
institution: "You know,
this is a 24-hour job,"
she says, "so I often
have no time for my
family or friends. You
wouldn't believe the
amount of horrible
messages I get from
people telling me what a
lousy friend I am."
Involvement in corporate
America
• Came under scrutiny for
Goldman Sachs board
position during Great

• Took a different
approach to board
membership: “If I can
give a very substantial
injection of humanistic
thinking into
corporations, boy, that
would change things a
lot.”
Education innovator

Office of Institutional Diversity at Smith
• Established the University Steering Committee on
Slavery and Justice at Brown
• “She has [encouraged] civility and [invited]
difference. “Ruth has created an atmosphere of
understanding [at Smith.]” “
Vocal civil rights activist
• While at Dillard: "There was a rule that every
student had to attend chapel," she says. "It
felt wrong to insist that atheists or Jews
should be made to go to something that
contradicted their beliefs, so I refused to go
on principle. The college threatened not to
allow me to graduate unless I backed down,
but I stood firm.”
5. KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
My lessons learned
5
1. Carve out time for friends and family. Though Simmons has lead an
impressive, accomplished life, she admits to neglecting those closest to
her. Though not stated explicitly, it seems Ruth could feel guilt and regret
about ‘being a lousy friend.’
2. Modify life and career goals actively. Ruth started with modest goals
as a child, first focusing on building a life around anything but domestic
housework. As she attained education, recognition, and award, she
adjusted her expectations and goals to reach her full potential (i.e.
initially, she resisted the Brown presidency, but readjusted her view and
saw it as an incredible, historic opportunity)
3. “Assert views, and then have courage to be alone in one’s views.”
Ruth is a vocal civil rights activist –standing up for people of color and
women time and time again. She articulated that
4. Have hope in humanity. Ruth was raised in a world and time of
segregation and bigotry, but seems to hold conviction that people will see
the error of their ways. She feels a broader, more diverse purview makes
people better – and that society will come around to that.
6. KNOWLEDGE FOR ACTION
From Ruth Simmons’ first Convocation at Brown
“You know something that I hate? When people say, “That doesn’t make me
feel good about myself,” I say, “That’s not what you’re here for.” If you come
to this place for comfort, I would urge you to walk to yon iron gate,
pass through the portal and never look back. But if you seek betterment
for yourself, for your community and posterity, stay and fight. Fight for the
courage to be a true learner. Fight for the dignity of your intellect. Fight
for the compact that preserves our liberty. For the privilege of being in
a place that is dedicated to overturning lies. Fight for the place that each
of you has earned in the timeless moments of the history of Brown.”
Ruth Simmons, 9/4/2001
