Common meritocracy. How a good hospital should be governed.
There is no country in the world satisfied with its healthcare system. This is why we should look for good systems as the stakes are very high - human life and health. Common Meritocracy, or decision making for everyone is a radical but possible solution. Unlike in democratic decision making, where all, even ignorants, have a say. In common meritocracy voice is given only to those who have some expertise in the decision domain. Such a system is possible thanks to technologies which allow to build a system of control of everyone's expertise and the voting process.

15 Employee Engagement activities that you can start doing now
As a manager, keeping employees engaged is a major challenge but also opportunity. To achieve engagement, efforts must align with business strategy. The HR function is essential to define an engagement strategy aligned with organizational goals. There are many activities that can boost engagement, such as involving employees in business planning, knowledge sharing programs, learning opportunities, recognition of efforts, and encouraging career development.
25 Employee Engagement Ideas
Employee engagement is not an exact science. So far, the whole concept has been built on HR experience, positive phycology and business models that engage a company’s talent towards a productive culture of success.
At the core of employee engagement, similar to any company’s foundation, are some values. These values determine the why, how and what of that company, presumably.
In today’s economy, you’re building your company brand both through external as well as internal efforts. Playing two battlefields at the same time can prove to be tricky, that’s why some companies decide to focus their resources only on the external branding front. Meanwhile, they neglect their internal environment, failing to provide an engaging, challenging and appealing workplace.
Enters talent management. A grey area where an HR manager meets a Talent Manager/Chief Happiness Officer. Confusing? Yes. And if it’s confusing for the person actually holding that position, imagine what it does to the employees he or she is supposed to be engaging.
So, we came up with 25 ideas that can save a manager in need of some inspiration. Enjoy!
The 5 Elements of Employee Engagement
Employee engagement impacts nearly every area of business, from productivity to retention, and even operating costs. You can improve engagement by mastering the five elements.
Gamification
Gamification involves using game mechanics to improve non-game applications and services. The document outlines 10 rules for effective gamification:
1) Know what you want to achieve with gamification before implementing it
2) Be prepared that some services may not benefit from gamification
3) Games are not effective for customer acquisition, focus on retention instead
4) Monetization should not be the focus, focus on your core business instead
5) Beware of unintended consequences and build systems carefully
Gamification strategies
Organisations continue to search for the silver bullet that will deliver improved employee and customer engagement, facilitate more effective collaboration and drive innovation. Is "gamification" the answer, or is it just one more over-hyped and fashionable trend that promises much but delivers little? Gamification has indeed bubbled to the top of the Gartner hype cycle, but there is growing evidence that it is an effective business improvement change agent, with industry growth rates predicted to be 67% p.a. and a market worth £3.4 billion by 2018.
Gamification is about much more than simply rewarding points and badges, but rather understanding and influencing the human behaviours companies want to encourage among their employees and customers. Gamification is founded in the fundamentals of human psychology and behavioural science, and rests on three primary factors: motivation, ability level and triggers.
This session looks at some of the gamification strategies and techniques being used to influence behaviour change, and how these techniques can be used to facilitate more effective collaboration and employee/customer engagement.

How Diversity Can Drive Your Organization Forward
We tend to talk a lot about diversity, recognizing how important it is. But those conversations (and most of our initiatives) revolve almost entirely around race and gender, only two components of a much larger diversity spectrum.
In this webinar we’ll take a much broader look at diversity… diversity of opinion, skill, experience, and more. We’ll talk about the role this kind of diversity has in organizational health and market success. We’ll talk about what you can do to encourage, architect, and accommodate diversity. We’ll also talk about biases, the most common cause of diversification difficulties.
Because our organizations need us to begin to think more holistically, to drive toward larger outcomes, and to help insulate ourselves against risk. Join this webinar and come away with a new perspective on diversity, and practical, immediate approaches to start achieving it.

How do we collaborate inclusively?
This document discusses how to collaborate inclusively. It notes that while diverse teams are more likely to create inclusive products by bringing a variety of perspectives, psychological safety is also needed. Psychological safety exists when people feel safe taking interpersonal risks without repercussions. Key aspects that can help create psychological safety are establishing trust through transparency about goals, decisions and expectations; displaying empathy; and having a clear, shared purpose. Questioning assumptions, engaging in open discussions, and experimenting together can also help teams collaborate inclusively.

It discusses concepts from his book Tribes such as what builds and kills tribes, and encourages personal reflection on leadership challenges. It also provides information about an upcoming business book club session and advertising for a leadership development program from The Meyvn Group.
Shifting the Paradigm of Diversity and Inclusion
An inclusive workforce boosts organizational effectiveness by lifting morale, strengthening access to new markets, and increasing productivity.

Discover what it means to have a truly inclusive workplace and walk away with ideas and strategies you can use to reshape your organization by unleashing the power of diversity management.

Predictive analytics in the agriculture industry
This document discusses how predictive analytics can help the agriculture industry, specifically in Nova Scotia. It begins with an introduction of the speaker and defines predictive analytics as using statistical models to predict future events. It then discusses applications of predictive analytics like marketing and fraud detection. Specifically, it explains how predictive analytics can help precision agriculture by optimizing crop yields, managing water and inputs, and intelligently applying pesticides and fungicides. As an example, it outlines how predictive analytics could help detect and control apple scab in Kings County, Nova Scotia, reducing costs by over $13,000 while increasing apple production and profits. Overall, the document argues predictive analytics provides economic benefits and a competitive advantage for the agriculture industry in Nova Scotia.
Mobile development frameworks
We live in interesting times. While mobile adoption is skyrocketing, most small organizations are precluded from entering the mobile market by the significant time, money and skill investment required to make even the simplest app. Mobile development toolkits can help, but the small guys are still left behind. WaveMobile is a development framework that creates diverse and customized mobile apps without writing a single line of code.
Just in time mentors
Just in Time Mentors (JITM) is a program run by Refresh Annapolis Valley (F5 AV) that allows entrepreneurs to present new business ideas or start-ups to receive feedback from volunteer mentors. The goal of JITM is to help creators validate and refine their ideas through mentor expertise and experience. During sessions, creators give a 10-20 minute pitch to mentors and attendees. Mentors then provide constructive criticism and suggestions. Both mentors and attendees can observe and learn from the process. A case study example described a startup that pitched a semantic search technology and received helpful feedback from both technology and business mentors to refine their product and business model. The JITM guidelines provide tips for

Valley Community Fiber Network
This talk will introduce the group to an important communications asset we citizens own right here in the Valley, i.e. our community fiber optic network. Who uses it? Where is it? The key question, however, which we'll put to our attendees, is, "How might we truly put community squarely into the heart of the Valley Community Fiber Network?" What will it take? What tools are we missing? What's the potential? Who is interested? What are the roadblocks? How can we innovate?
Coldfusion with Keith Diehl
Using ColdFusion, the document summarizes how the author generated 600 Word documents from an SQL database in 3 steps: 1) Query the database to retrieve outline information, 2) Output the class info into a ColdFusion variable, 3) Write the variable content into individual Word documents and save them to a folder. ColdFusion allowed the author to automate a process that would have taken a week to do manually in just a few lines of code.
Valley Family Fun
The document summarizes the background and development of a website called Valley Family Fun. It began in 2012 when the creator wanted to work from home and share family-friendly activities and events in the local area. Through word of mouth and social media promotion, the site grew to over 750 Facebook followers and 1,200 email subscribers within 11 months. The site now includes advertising opportunities for local businesses and continues to promote community events and non-profits. Challenges include maintaining engagement and finding new audiences, while joys include positive feedback and serving the local community.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
