The document discusses key concepts related to resilience, social innovation, and adaptive change. It defines resilience as a system's ability to absorb disturbance and reorganize while retaining function. Adaptability and transformability allow systems to manage or create new ways of living. The adaptive cycle model shows phases of growth, conservation, release/destruction, and reorganization. Strategic grantmaking can aim to build resilience through adaptation or reduce resilience to enable transformation, depending on the goal. Cross-scale interactions are important to consider.
This session examines the advent of a new class of indicators in sustainability measurement and reporting known as context-based metrics, or CBMs. Unlike most of what passes for best practice today, CBMs express organizational performance relative to norms, standards or thresholds for what such impacts would have to be in order to be sustainable. Thus, they provide more literal measures of sustainability performance than are typically used, while also responding to the call for context in measurement by the world's leading sustainability reporting standard: GRI. The session will begin with a brief synopsis of contemporary metrics followed by an introduction and description of CBMs in details, with examples included.

Are you ground down from working in an aggressive environment where your manager is also stressed to the max?
Are you under constant pressure and fighting to stay on top of what you need to do?
Are you leading a team fatigued by change with more on the horizon?
Are you providing services where patient/client/customer demand cannot be adequately met?
Working in health (and other industries) is challenging and often stressful. There are heavy workloads, insufficient resources to meet demands as well as high expectations from patients. When you combine these pressures with the complexity and risk of the work, the inherent emotional labour and constant change, resilience becomes a key requisite for working effectively.

During our kickoff 2014 Inspiring Action for Social Impact webinar, Indy Johar challenged us to think about being open, rather than being social by intention. We discussed how "social" can be too prescriptive or co-opted. We also covered how to go from ‘I’ to ‘We.’ One to Many.
As we move into a year in which we will discuss growing the Sharing Economy, Indy helped us think through this and other "new economy" movements. What we should be ready for in terms of potential challenges or missteps?
Indy Johar is a co-founder of 00:/ and a qualified architect. On behalf of 00:/, Indy has co-founded multiple social ventures from HubWestminster.net to the up coming HubLaunchpad.net [A £4m Open Venture Accelerator] and has also co-led research projects such as The Compendium for the Civic Economy, whilst supporting several 00:/ explorations/experiments including the wikihouse.cc, opendesk.cc.
On May 2nd, Geoff Mulgan, Chief Executive of Nesta discussed the opportunities society has to overcome the barriers that fiscal challenges present to innovation.
Following the 2008 global financial crisis Geoff laid out the challenges ahead during his 2009 TED Talk: “I think what connects the challenge for business, the challenge for government and the challenge for communities now, is both simple and difficult. We know our societies have to radically change. We know we can’t go back to where we were before."
During this presentation, MaRS CEO, Dr. Ilse Treurnicht takes viewers through the evolution of this innovation convergence centre through to where it sees itself moving in the future. It covers both MaRS' roots, and the best practices around the world that are informing its development.

Care, caring, and caregiver are words used to describe those who take care of family members or friends out of love. These terms are also used by those who are paid to help and support others. This is confusing on a number of fronts.
One: there is a big difference between being paid to provide care versus not expecting and not receiving financial compensation.
Two: the policy discussions and funding decisions tend to focus on professional and paid care provided by non profits, governments or institutions as if they were the only ones. This paid sector receives the bulk of the financial resources allocated by governments. In this regard, natural care is playing teeter totter with an elephant.
That the dimensions, requirements and scale of natural care is invisible is a serious public policy issue. We have relegated it as a private matter. In fact, it defines us as a species, as a country, as a society, as an individual.
Providers of natural care need resources to support themselves and the people they are caring for. It is a matter of decency, natural justice and our collective survival. This serious matter should be a high public policy priority.

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.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

2. In this presentation I will…
! Define key terms
! Look at resilience as a property linked to adaptive capacity
(represented in the adaptive cycle)
! Look at resilience as something one wants to build indirectly
through a pattern of invention for adaptation
! Look at resilience as something one wants to reduce
indirectly or directly through a pattern of innovation for
transformation
! Close with some questions for discussion
3. Some definitions
! Resilience: the capacity of a system to absorb disturbance
and reorganize while undergoing change, so as to still
retain essentially the same function, structure, identity,
and feedbacks” (Walker et al. 2004; Folke et al. 2010).
! Resilience is about neither persistence nor change but about
balancing and integrating both in an adaptive cycle

12. In comes agency….
! Adaptability: the capacity of individuals within the
system to maintain or manage its resilience through
continuous invention and adjustments
! Transformability: the capacity to create untried
beginnings from which to evolve a fundamentally new
way of living when existing ecological, economic, and
social conditions make the current system untenable
(social innovation).
13. In comes innovation….
! Social Inventions: any product, process, design,
program or initiative designed to assist vulnerable
populations or those serving them to adapt more
affectively to social or ecological circumstances
! Social Innovation: any product, process, design ,
program or initiative that profoundly changes the
defining routines and laws, resource and authority
flows, cultural beliefs and practices of a given social
system. Social innovations transform intractable
problem domains.
17. The psychosocial space called release or
creative destruction
! Key pressures - sensemaking and reconfiguration of resources
! Associated changes -
! Breakdown of trust, networks and meanings
! Confusion, lack of clarity, lack of direction
! Pirating ideas and resources; introduction of novelty
! People: those who thrive on crisis, on new beginnings are
happy here – others may be depressed or in mourning
19. The psychosocial space called reorganization
or exploration
! Key pressures: resource (funds, time, energy, attention, skill)
availability - low connectivity - time pressure
! Associated changes:
! multiple random walks , experiments, initiatives which
lead to little in the way of measurable outcomes
! people who learn by doing are happy here, others may feel
increasingly anxious about waste of time or directionless
! reflection moving to experimentation, lots of false starts and
sometimes frustration and mounting anxiety about inputs/
output ratios
21. The psychosocial space called exploitation
! Key pressure- demand for delivery and productivity
! Associated changes-
! The dynamic of start-up - high excitement as the
initiative takes form. Communication is still highly
personal, roles flexible, integration through mutual
adjustment.
! With success and time, there is increasing need for
organizing systems (communication, control,
accounting), job definition and regulation.
! Team-builders and the action oriented come into
their own. Conceptualizers may feel a little
uncomfortable.
23. The Psycho-social space called
conservation
! Key pressures - standardization of rules and
procedures; demand for product
! Associated changes
! A time of measurable returns and performance
! Increased demands for reliability and productivity
! Increased reliance on systems for monitoring and
rewarding efficiency
! Good management prevails- visionaries step aside or
move on?
24. Use of the adaptive cycle in
change making
! Where are you as an individual most comfortable?
Least comfortable?
! Organizational assessment: Which phase is each of
organization/program? What does the combined
picture say about where is in the adaptive cycle?
! To what extent does the pattern of activities in any
program area support the resilience of the broader system?
25. But what about the broader societal
outcomes you are seeking:
