Benchmarking member & customer relationship strength.cesse2017Peter Turner
In 2016, fifteen associations participated in the first benchmark indices to better understand how relationship strength affects the ability to improve engagement withnon-US members and customers through empirical data. Over 8,000 members and customers responded. In 2017, many of those same associations plus others will add thousands of US members and customers to this database which will focus solely on US aspects of engagement.
This Engagement Index community is a collaboration between MCI and its research partner FairControl and many of these US associations as we seek answers to the most critical questions impacting reinvention:
• How strong is the current relationship with members and customers?
• What is impacting for good or bad the quality of these relationships?
• What resources deliver the most value and impact engagement the most?
• How relevant is the value proposition to the needs of members and customers?
• What levels of engagement are there and how do members and customers fit into this model?

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
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.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

- A strong policy push in Europe
- An overcrowded regulatory & standards
environment (60 out 142)
- Not necessarily more compulsory schemes
- Next decade perceived as “critical” in the EU
- EU is a “big open sky think tank on sustainability”
Sustainability is strongly link to Public
Affairs in Europe

13. But Europe is fragmented
The European Union: 493 million people – 27 countries
Member states of the European Union
Candidate countries
14. EU Associations & Sustainability:
What do they do?
- Increased pressure to report
- From reactive to pro-active regulatory advocacy
- Communicating “sustainability” credentials (PA
Content)
- More and more Public Private Partnerships (PPPs)
- promoting exchange of best practice between
country based associations
The EU associations landscape:
No more than 30 associations are role model in
sustainability strategy and deployment

15. Sustainability & US associations
A 2nd chance for global leadership
- Europe leads on sustainability concepts
- But too fragmented for creating global
solutions
- US associations can learn on the link “Public
Affairs & Sustainability”
- … But are better shaped for creating the
“new building block” (Governance, Products &

ICMM members’ better performance is evidence that the ICMM principles and guidelines have a very positive
effect. In light of the recent oil and gas environmental disasters that have occurred (i.e., the Gulf of Mexico oil
spill), it is perhaps not surprising that stakeholders have given the oil and gas industry the lowest rating of all
industries tested.
