What winning product teams are doing right in today's economyalisoncs
A webinar presentation by Tom Grant, Sr. Analyst from Forrester and hosted by Accept Software & AIPMM.
Social media have demolished the myth that technology vendors were the sole source of innovation in this industry. While technology vendors have great ideas, so too do customers. Just as importantly, innovation is more than just “ideation” or invention. The classic friction between IT and business shows how the success of new ideas depends on acceptance and adoption.
Social media now offer a way for technology vendors to harness the good ideas of their customers, often through the Web 2.0 tools (forums, blogs, Wikis, etc.) that the vendors themselves sponsor. At the same time, social media can help vendors get under the skin of their target users and stakeholders, gaining critical insights that can help make better product decisions more quickly. The broader landscape of social media, beyond what the vendors themselves sponsor, are often the sources of these insights.
However, using social media in this fashion is not for amateurs. Meeting the information management challenges these new resources pose requires skill that not every product team may have, and tools with greater capabilities than spreadsheets and word processing documents.

The document discusses different models for university-business collaboration in Europe and the UK. It describes the "open science model" where academics publish and industry patents, the "license model" where universities license technologies to industry, and the "innovation model" where universities are more directly involved in innovation ecosystems. It notes that licensing university inventions is more difficult in fragmented European markets compared to the US. However, the innovation model is more developed in some European countries like the UK where universities must be more involved in innovation for impact.

BetaCodex01 - Techniques for TransformationGebhard Borck
The document discusses techniques for organizational transformation using a "BetaCodex" change management model. Some key points include:
1) Organizations should be treated as systems and transformed holistically rather than by individual departments alone. The role of consultants is to advise, not implement changes.
2) Successful transformation requires changing people's mindsets and behaviors through coaching, training, and community building.
3) A "double helix" change process framework combines organizational changes with supporting individual changes over time.
4) Techniques like knowledge turn tables and storytelling tools can generate buy-in and common understanding to guide the transformation process.

These models include pre-competitive research partnerships and consortia involving multiple companies, universities, and research institutions. They aim to leverage diverse scientific capabilities and resources to make progress on understanding disease biology and developing new treatments. By sharing knowledge and resources in a pre-competitive space, these partnerships seek to accelerate innovation for the benefit of patients while also engaging industry, academia and government.
Rapid, breathtaking technology advances are forcing radical changes not only in how IT organizations function, but also in terms of their culture, leadership, and even careers. Combined with business, social and global trends, as well as technology investing (spending), IT organizations must accelerate their organizational change plans in order to survive and thrive. They must assess and plan for complete transformation – strategy, structure, people, processes, and tools. Are we preparing our IT professionals to plan for and make these changes? Are we helping them position themselves and their organizations for success in this dynamically evolving world? This keynote address, delivered by IT industry thought leader Peter McGarahan of McGarahan & Associates (www.mcgarahan.com), will explore the impact of rapidly changing IT and business trends on traditional IT careers, positions, and skill sets. The wake-up call he will deliver comes from four-star US General (Ret.) Eric Shineski: "If you don\'t like change, you\'ll like irrelevance even less." From there, McGarahan will discuss:
• The urgent and undeniable need for IT professionals to examine their skill
sets today against those required tomorrow;
• The significance of industry and business changes as they radically impact
IT organizations, cultures, professionals, and careers over the next five years; and
• Recent game-changing developments, including cloud computing (hosted services
and software solutions), the virtual desktop, mobile computing, IT sourcing, and
remote / virtual workers.
McGarahan’s call to action for IT Leaders is direct and powerful: “As IT leaders, we must coach our IT professionals out of and beyond their comfort zone, raise the bar on their expected ingenuity and vision to meet future challenges, and establish a sense of urgency in them. We must help them reevaluate and retool themselves for the limitless opportunities and possibilities in front of them to deliver business value, competitive advantage, and customer loyalty.”

The Need to Professionalize the Discipline of EA The Need to Professionalize ...Software Park Thailand
The document discusses the need to professionalize the discipline of enterprise architecture (EA) through establishing an information technology architecture body of knowledge (BOK). It notes that the roles in IT have expanded significantly over time from system analysts, programmers, and operators to include many executive, manager, supervisor, and staff level positions. There is a need for strategic architects to help describe, develop, and connect the different domains within EA including business, information, software, and infrastructure architecture. The document argues that without a common language and standard like the Zachman Framework, it is difficult to describe, comprehend, and develop robust EA. It proposes that an IT architect serves as the mastermind to coordinate across the four core systems within EA and ensure the

How to Build a Module in Odoo 17 Using the Scaffold MethodCeline George
Odoo provides an option for creating a module by using a single line command. By using this command the user can make a whole structure of a module. It is very easy for a beginner to make a module. There is no need to make each file manually. This slide will show how to create a module using the scaffold method.
This presentation was provided by Steph Pollock of The American Psychological Association’s Journals Program, and Damita Snow, of The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for the initial session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Strategies for Effective Upskilling is a presentation by Chinwendu Peace in a Your Skill Boost Masterclass organisation by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan on 08th and 09th June 2024 from 1 PM to 3 PM on each day.
