Everyone is talking about “Social Business” – but what does it mean and is it just the latest fad? Greater customer satisfaction, more innovation, faster access to knowledge; agile processes delivered via a people-centred organisation. These are just some of the benefits being tantalising promised by the advocates. Why wouldn’t every organisation flock to this vision of an agile, connected, transparent, people-centred and more efficient business?
Hesitation is natural but every day counts in a world where social technology trends develop over weeks. Those at the forefront will gain most. There is only so long a business can wait before it is left behind. Competitors and customers will move on. Attracting new talent will become more difficult; employees become moribund.
So maybe doing nothing is the new business risk?

In this presentation I made at Gamification Europe I question the validity of talking about whether a project is a success or failure. My question to practitioners is whether they are making a material difference. I use systems thinking as a foundation of thinking about systemic change the unintended consequences of gamification.
What role does gender play in game and gamification design? Are your designs enabling inclusion, creativity or innovation, or are you reproducing the problems that you are trying to solve through design? This is a talk I gave at SXSW 2017.

Our independent university research is the first of its kind. We have codified over 200 enterprise gamification case studies to develop the world’s first enterprise gamification classification system. The objective of our research is to get to the core of the estimated 80% failure rate of gamification projects, and develop more ethical and effective design methodologies. These are some of our early findings:
This is a presentation I made at Mobile Monday Melbourne on 15 October 2012. The key takeaway is that gamification is an important tool in mobile applications, but it needs to be used creatively and strategically.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Social Business Design Introduction
1. Social Business Design: Marigo Raftopoulos
Strategic Essentials
An introduction to business renewal November 2009
2. What is social
business design?
• Evolved out of classical thinking
about the social nature of humanity
• Workplace organisation,
management & technology need to
better integrate and adapt to the
social needs, preferences and nature
of people
• The new economy requires a different
approach to building knowledge
systems, social capital and human
capability
• Learning capability is the true capital
of a firm - open systems, interactions
between employees and between
employees and stakeholders
3. Related to Design
Thinking
• A process of practical, creative
resolution of problems or issues
that looks for an improved
result
• A combination of empathy,
creativity and rationality to meet
user needs and drive business
success
4. What does SBD
influence?
• Organisation structure
Creating Spaces
• Job,workflow & process design
Creating Experiences
• Organisational culture & values
Facilitating Community
• Organisational systems & technology
Enabling Participation
• Ensuring your business remains a
viable enterprise that is future-ready
5. Key drivers for SBD
• The end of business as usual - the
post-industrial model of competition &
consumption becomes unsustainable
• Turbulent business environments
driven by shifts in technology,
economics & community values
• Rethink our business models & core
value propositions
• Shifting expectations of staff (work-
life balance) and stakeholders (ethics,
accountability & sustainability)
6. SBD drives business
innovation
SBD redefines business culture Culture drives innovation
7. And there is no destination. SBD Continuous renewal &
is being in perpetual beta adaption
8. This is what SBD is...
Building & leveraging Facilitating community, Open plan, open source
distributed intelligence networks & sociability and open engagement
9. This is what it isn’t...
Command, control & Heirarchy and power Fear, secrecy & closed
bureaucracy networks
10. 20 years in the
making of SBD
• Organisational development
• Learning organisations
• Systems dynamics & systems
thinking
• Social & organisational
network analysis
• Design for creativity &
innovation
• Complexity science in
business
• One for the geeks - Cluetrain
Manifesto anyone?
11. Aren’t we social already?
• The post industrial model of business
tends to be ‘anti-social’ - mechanistic,
hierarchal, paternalistic, closed systems
• This hidden legacy is contained within
existing structures, processes and
systems that are anchored to the ‘best
practice’ of the past
• The legacy system was designed for
stable, simple, planned environments
• We are now in an era of complexity
that requires businesses to be designed
for innovation & agility - and
sustainability
12. Key elements of SBD:
spaces, community, experiences, participation

13. The role of
technology in SBD
• Technology is an enabler, not a
systemic solution
• Outdated corporate IT & intranets are
not communication & collaboration
friendly
• Brilliant new collaborative, KM &
communication tools help enable SBD
• Wikis, packaged content
• Blogs, widgets, mini-sites
• RSS, data feeds, open APIs
• Social bookmarking
• Social networks
15. Game designers
are experts in SBD
• Definition of a “game”:
• a possibility space
• a series of meaningful paths &
choices
• a series of patterns, problems
& puzzles to solve
• a form of practice for real life
challenges
• a system in which players
engage in gameplay defined
by rules that result in a
quantifiable outcome
16. SBD elements by a Game Designer: Possibility
Give players the tools Empower so they want Create a space to
to create an empire to save the world explore & experiment
...in their own way
17. SBD elements by a Game Designer: Participation
Emergent gameplay Non linear story telling Player created content
entices & stimulates fascinates & exercises the engages through
action & strategy players mind co-creation
18. It’s about creating a possibility
...and discovery space open to interpretation,
reinvention & recreation
19. We are fighting a losing battle
What game designers against the human brain; it
continually soaks up new
know... patterns, puzzles & gameplay
20. New frontiers, new
possibilities
• Game designers create possibility
spaces where people discover,
create & solve their own puzzles -
rather than plan it all for them
• Possibility spaces do not pre-
determine problems & solutions,
they let them emerge
• Player centered content creates
infinite possibilities & permutations
- and engagement
• Seen in the growth in popularity of
multiplayer games, augmented
reality, simulations & virtual reality
21. Games (and business) need to be
designed to allow people to engage with These are precursors for
their innate knowledge, intelligence & innovation & productivity
capabilities - and each other
22. possibility space
design
culture
experience
interraction
innovation
social business
summary
design
23. Design for tomorrow
• Current research: social & ecological
sustainability are inextricably linked
• New ideas on sustainable development
need to come from bottom up within
businesses:
• employee empowerment
• community collaboration
• organisational culture & values
• integration with core business
• Organisations need to be fully
sustainable and sustaining
• Baseline level of social & technical
competence is essential to build
innovative capacity - delivered by SBD
