Presented at JBoye 2013 Conference in Aarhus on November 7th. Presented by Christian Carlsson and Thomas Asger Hansen, leading the Global Working Culture at Grundfos.
Grundfos Global Working Culture and the Social Business CookbookChristian Carlsson
Christian Carlsson presented on Grundfos' Global Working Culture initiative to drive business growth through open engagement internally and externally. The initiative aims to leverage opportunities, ideas, and collaboration using social business methods. Key elements include establishing a global community, developing community literacy and digital literacy, and increasing organizational social business maturity. Examples provided include using social media like blogs and Yammer to energize feedback loops and share work openly. The experience highlighted that culture and behavior change are important, and engagement is needed to move things forward. Tips included micro engagement, working transparently, and hosting open strategy sessions.
Social Business at Grundfos, presented at SAP Social Event Oct 1, 2013Christian Carlsson
I presented at a SAP Social event in Copenhagen on October 1st 2013, on the topic “Social Business at Grundfos”. These are the slides, but they make of course more sense when you here me speak. It is mainly focused on use cases where SAP and/or partners are the main components, since this was a SAP CRM event.
In short about Social Business at Grundfos
Grundfos recent years high focus on becoming a Social Business stems mainly from the CEO’s vision that “everyone should be working as under one roof”, which in term has led to the creation of a “Grundfos Global Working Culture” initiative, with assigned resources and budgets.
The Global Working Cultures goal is for Social Business strategies and methods to drive growth and innovation for Grundfos, and speed up strategy execution capabilities. And we do this by making it normal to engage actively and openly in a globally connected Grundfos – internally as well as externally – with the purpose of leveraging opportunities and ideas, collaborate effectively, and/or reduce inefficiencies.
Sounds nice, right?! Hmm…. agree, it is a bit MBA business gibberish. But on the other hand, there are both thoughts and actions behind the words.
Actually, if I may suggest one key take away from that mission statement, then it is: “making it normal to engage actively and openly in a globally connected Grundfos”. We have to move from a “closed by default” culture, to an “open by default”. This means, instead of always choosing who we send information to (by email), we move towards choosing when the communication should be private or to a selected audience. Think about it – it is a big shift – cultural, behavioral, and technical.
Well, enjoy the slides. I will work on having the speaking notes added to our socialbusinessjourney.com blog.

GUIDE self introduction form - finding Change Agents for Enterprise Social Me...Harald Schirmer
This document provides a form for individuals to fill out if interested in becoming a GUIDE (Global User Inspired Digital Experts) for Social Media and Business Networking. The form asks for background details and experiences with social media, business networking, and change management. It also asks about motivations for becoming a GUIDE and any questions or concerns about the GUIDE project. Submitting the form means the individual's answers will only be visible to the person responsible for the GUIDE concept and some information may be anonymously published.
The document discusses the traits that leaders need to thrive in times of complex change and exponential disruption. It outlines five traits facilitative leaders should possess: having a clear purpose and communicating it at all levels, being forward-thinking opportunists, fixing issues before they become problems, encouraging risk-taking and experimentation, and striving for partnership by looking outside their ecosystems. Effective leaders will coach and empower employees rather than command them. They focus on developing people and sharing credit as a team. Facilitative leaders who master these traits will be well-positioned to lead organizations successfully through disruption.

Leadership 4.0 refers to digital leaders who can build engaged teams and drive a culture of innovation in fast-changing technological environments. Key challenges for Leadership 4.0 include: responding quickly to competition from faster, younger organizations; freeing up decision-making processes to accelerate change; and harnessing technology by maximizing individuals' talents. Leadership 4.0 must also quickly capitalize on opportunities from hyper-connectivity and manage change through open communication.
The Connected Organization: Building more Effective CompaniesPeter Poeck
The effectiveness of a company’s actions equals the power of its internal and external network. The more connected you are with customers and suppliers, the more your employees are connected with each other, the more powerful and resilient you will perform. How quickly can your company have an e-mail from a prospect answered by the right person? How efficiently can you bring the right internal expertise round the table for a large new project? A more connected organization will always outperform others.

1) The document discusses developing team cohesiveness and motivation by managing both the team's subculture and the overarching corporate culture consistently through communication and by helping team members understand their role in the bigger picture.
2) It suggests that consistency in managing both cultures can create an environment where a high level of achievement motivation can be "manufactured" in employees, leading to increased productivity and on-time project delivery.
3) It recommends strategies for motivating individuals and directing them as a team, including recognizing contributions and encouraging new ideas to create consistency and support high achievement.
Why train people to become brainstorm facilitators?Mitchell Ditkoff
The document discusses why companies should train people to become masterful brainstorm facilitators. It argues that companies need to adapt to changing markets by creating new products and services, which requires envisioning new possibilities and tapping into employees' creativity. Well-trained facilitators can help companies stop rejecting new ideas and spark insights and breakthroughs to grow their business. The training discussed, Conducting Genius, teaches facilitation skills to identify in-house facilitators and design highly productive brainstorm sessions.
This document summarizes Jurgen Appelo's book "Management 3.0" and provides examples of management workout exercises. It discusses that Management 1.0 is bad management, while Management 2.0 tries to do the right thing but fails due to a lack of understanding of social systems. Management 3.0 does the right thing through good understanding. Seventeen management workout themes are then outlined that support engaging people, improving systems, and delighting clients.
Putting people at the heart of digital transformation - DMX Dublin March 2016Eva Appelbaum
Presentation from DMX Dublin 2016
Digital transformation is an ubiquitous buzzword and we often hear that it is all about people & culture. So what does that really mean? How must organisational culture adapt to be fit for the digital future? What are the leadership skills needed to drive digital change? And what does digital transformation look like when it is people-centric?
WISDOM AT WORK: The Power of Personal Storytelling to Spark Insight, Breakthr...Mitchell Ditkoff
A workshop called Wisdom at Work is designed to help spark innovation in companies through the sharing of personal stories rather than traditional methods like data presentations or best practices. The workshop encourages leaders to tell stories from their own experiences about topics like creativity, breakthroughs, challenges, and learning moments that embed insights and knowledge to inspire others. Storytelling is highlighted as the most effective way to transmit meaningful messages and collective wisdom that can foster engagement, trust, collaboration, learning, and creativity in an organization.
Teamwork is essential for effectiveness and efficiency in the workplace. It starts with assembling a team with a variety of skills focused on common goals aligned with the organization's strategy. When a team collaborates well, the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts due to diverse perspectives and leadership. While teams can fail if members are unwilling to cooperate or lack support, the pros generally outweigh the cons, creating a better environment through cooperation, leadership development, and innovative ideas. Real-life examples demonstrate how teamwork benefits activities like brainstorming, presentations, mentoring, and event planning.

From Stickmen and Cubicles to Whipping and a Princess Cake - Social BusinessChristian Carlsson
In lack of a better title, "From Stickmen and Cubicles to Whipping and a Princess Cake" is my take on what Social Business is and what is required to become one. Presented at the www.becomesocial.dk event in Copenhagen May 24th 2012.
This is a version 1 of our Grundfos Community Planning Guide, to be used either in a workshop or by individuals who are interested in making sure a new community (e.g. a Yammer Group) is successfully created and managed.
Comments, suggestions and feedback is much appreciated, since we hope to evolve this "guide" both in content, context, and availability (e.g. as an online tool).
Informal and Social Learning - Everyone is a Contributor!Michael Kada
Michael Kada presents the case for Informal Learning with respect to the explosion of information and knowledge and in comparison to other learning paradigms.

7 Steps for Open Innovation by @Lindegaard: Grading Your Company’s Open Innov...Stefan Lindegaard
Here you can check out my PowerPoint deck for my new concept:
7 Steps for Open Innovation: Grading Your Company’s Open Innovation Capabilities
The premise is that if your company is not already fully engaged with open innovation efforts, it is way behind. This is evident by looking at the number of companies around the globe that today embrace the use of external partners and input into their innovation efforts.
But even though companies continuously launch new initiatives designed to help them leverage the power of outside knowledge and resources to drive innovation forward, there is a sense within these companies that they can do better and take this new innovation paradigm to an even higher level.
They are also eager to get external perspective to make sure they are maximizing results by using best practices in all aspects of their open innovation efforts.
To help companies with this evaluation, I have developed a seven-step assessment tool that helps them evaluate these key areas:
1. Common Language and Understanding, Motivation, Mandate and Strategic Purpose
2. Assets and Needs
3. Value Pools and Channels
4. Internal Readiness
5. External Readiness
6. New Skills and Mindset
7. Communications Strategy
This assessment tool will help companies identify where they may be falling short in any of these key areas as well as provide ideas and insights on how to make the necessary improvements that will give more power to their open innovation efforts.
This is still work in progress, but you can get an idea of what this is about by checking out my presentation here
It would be great to hear your early feedback on the content itself as well as your thoughts on what I should do with the concept itself. Maybe it would be more valuable for the open innovation community as some kind of an open source project? What do you think?
Social Collaboration in Grundfos v. Martin Risgaard RasmussenKim Gregersen
Grundfos is a global pump manufacturer with over 18,000 employees worldwide. It began a social collaboration initiative using Yammer to better connect its global workforce. The presentation outlines three small successes using Yammer, including a global talent event and change management project.

The goal is to leverage opportunities, ideas, and expertise through greater internal and external connectivity.
The document outlines the schedule and sessions for a conference on innovation management. It includes:
- Hands-on workshops hosted by partners ATIZO360, TrendONE, and XL Family focusing on topics like crowdsourcing and developing ideas from trends.
- Six 40-minute roundtable sessions on topics such as boosting the sustainability of online programs, building early-stage enthusiasm, and measuring KPIs for innovation management.
- The schedule runs from 8am to 9:30pm over two days and includes workshops, presentations, roundtables, networking activities, and drinks. Presenters are from organizations like Exeter University, Virgin Media Ireland, UC San Diego, and Stora Enso.

This document describes a startup outreach program, which is a strategy for larger companies to collaborate with early stage startups. It gives startups access to resources like funding, mentoring, workspaces, and corporate assets. There are three main models - idea challenges to source new ideas, accelerators that provide seed funding and support, and partnerships where startups work closely with the company. Outreach programs benefit both startups and corporations by tapping startup creativity to tackle disruption and creating opportunities for innovation. They require assessing motivations and ensuring long term commitment to make the collaboration successful.
This document discusses open collaboration principles and how they can be used to drive innovation and increase productivity in organizations. It defines open collaboration as sharing resources across organizational boundaries to co-create content. Examples are provided of companies like Goldcorp, Procter & Gamble, and IBM that have successfully implemented open collaboration strategies to foster innovation, increase productivity, and transform their corporate cultures. Challenges of open collaboration and strategies for implementation are also addressed.
The document introduces the Collaborative Innovation Canvas, which contains 8 components grouped under 3 driving forces: Alignment, People, and Process. The canvas is used to plan collaborative innovation programs. Each component is described, with examples given for DHL, Airbus, a French manufacturer, Mattel, Swisslog, a global telecommunications company, and WorleyParsons. The driving forces represent the fundamentals of any innovation initiative: alignment with business goals, engaging people, and establishing processes.

It emphasizes that open innovation is key to becoming competitively unpredictable in today's business environment. The document provides examples of open innovation practices from various companies and discusses some of the challenges of changing an organization's culture to embrace open innovation and experimentation. It stresses that developing the right skills and mindsets among employees is important for fostering a strong innovation culture.
The document discusses ways to boost creativity and intrapreneurship in organizations. It provides examples of how companies like Apple, Google, Motorola, Cisco, GE, and 3M encourage innovation from within. Some strategies discussed include recruiting creatively, allowing employees to move ideas between departments, providing funding for projects, and rewarding risk-taking and successful new ideas. The document also outlines how developing a suggestion system, communication, and rewarding creativity rather than ideas can foster innovation in the workplace.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

“The Ambition Chicken “
9. How to Cook a Global Talent Event
Ingredients
One travel curfew
One (pretty sharp) Talent Manager
40 somewhat disappointed global talents
One demanding but supportive CEO
A handful of skeptic EVP‟s
4 autonomous teams
Trust
Timezone-surfing
A kitchen with synchronous + asynchronous
tools (collaboration platform)
WOL (working out loud)
A few collaboration experts
Recipe
1. Start planning as late as possible, e.g. 3 weeks
before showdown
2. Make sure the CEO will be there to experience the
event with his own eyes – success or failure
3. Define a strategic challenge which only 1/5 of the
talents have a professional relationship with
4. Impose a seemingly unrealistic amount of time to
solve the challenge
5. Make sure that you involve as many time-zones as
possible
6. Make sure that at least half of the people don‟t know
how to collaborate effectively with asynchronous
tools
7. Provide a good looking stage-gate model: It is proof
that in case of failure, the participants are to blame

'A dedicated 48 hour effort cannot be scaled to daily
work. The time window of collaboration is much smaller.
The methods however should be scaled‟.
12. Key things to take away from this
Be „first‟ on identifying what business needs.
Embrace „black market‟ as useful identifiers.
Promote one core set of tools and use-cases for global collaboration –
insist on critical mass.
Accept that „black market‟ collaboration can come in handy – be curious
as to the „Why‟!
Communicate what „white market‟ collaboration is
- provide easy access to a single point of departure.
Communicate why specific „black market‟ tools are black – the argument
must hold!
Communicate your (social) collaboration roadmap.
No poor performing tool has ever prevented good collaboration – only
lack of intent or skill has!
Assess your #collab and #socbiz maturity.
Embrace the fact that consumerization is always one step ahead of the
enterprise.
Embrace that only #culture can save you!
Start with „Lead Node Networks‟!
