ATI Courses Satellite Communications Essential Introduction Professional Deve...Jim Jenkins
This three-day introductory course on satellite communications provides a non-technical overview of the field. Taught for over two decades, it covers concepts, jargon, and the hardware, operations, and business of commercial satellite systems. The course is intended for non-technical audiences but also benefits technical people moving into the industry. Key topics include satellite applications and markets, communications fundamentals, the space and ground segments, link budgets, and major industry issues. Attendees receive a textbook and can discuss issues relevant to their work. The instructor has over 20 years experience consulting for NASA, satellite companies, and others.
The document discusses how governments need to support commercial space initiatives and get out of the way of innovation. It argues that only businesses can create sustainable growth and jobs. Specifically, it says governments should remove barriers to commercial-off-the-shelf technologies and support commercial business proposals, using robotic satellite servicing as an example of a promising commercial idea held back by lack of policy support. It concludes that governments need intelligent policies that support industry and commercial advice, and let businesses lead when the technology is ready.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

You go into space!
And then present your findings in a succinct manner to
executives who are on a tight deadline to make a decision.
You use pictures – a bow-tie in this case.
3. Understanding Artisanal and Small-scale
mining (ASM)
Many drivers for communities to engage in ASM activity:
Fairly low input costs
Rapid return on effort vs farming
Can generate income during the dry season
The whole family can generate an income
Legal provisions to regulate ASM exist in many countries
However enforcement is usually weak
Many do not attempt to comply with these requirements
ASM communities track commercial exploration activities
Mining areas open and expand rapidly
Communities can become violent if their livelihoods are
threatened
Often well organised with supply chains which are dependent on
the miners
4. Client’s brief
Evaluate the social risks at a gold mine in West
Africa:
Artisanal and small scale mining (ASM)
Proximity of communities to mining operations
Access routes
Social licence to operate
Systems, procedures and budgets to manage
social risks
5. Challenges to overcome
ASM activity is not always immediately obvious on a
satellite image
Different methods based on commodity, locality and mining method
Time limitations impeded on-the-ground visits to all areas
and all communities
How to estimate the extent of community impacts including possible
resettlements?
Social issues are complex to understand and communicate
How to present this Client’s ExCo who needs to make a rapid, well-informed
decision?

8. Using the satellites
Define target area
Consider mine plan, where to spend money on best
quality images
Total site area is 800km2
Commercially available images – no time to order
Decide how many images to buy
ASM communities move and grow quickly
A snapshot at one point in time therefore isn’t enough
Procure best quality, latest images
Taking into account need for time difference

12. Planning for site visit
In order to accurately map the ASM locations, ground
truthing of suspected ASM sites would be required.
Target locations were determined from document review.
Hand held GPS (plus spare batteries!) would be used to
confirm locations identified by Terrabotics.
Target areas for site inspection planned.
13. Planned Commercial Mining Zone Interrogation of the
images allowed
planning of areas to
be visited when on
site.
Focus on current
Life of Mine plan.

20. Community Proximity and Safety
Our client was concerned about the proximity of communities to
current and future mining areas.
Risks of community safety due to mining activities and access
roads also a concern.
Previous protests by ASM in the area raised the risk of possible
future interruptions to production if similar situation arises again.
An estimated number of households requiring possible
resettlement was needed.
We developed a heat map to represent the concentration of
households around these pit areas.

22. Site Access Risk
One main access
route from main
town to mine site.
Remote mining
areas need access
to processing plant.
High risk of

there are
community or ASM
protests.

23. Presenting the findings
Sustainability risks are complex.
Many causes and possible consequences.
Client needed to understand how the mine was
managing the various risks and where there were
gaps.
Needed a mechanism to present a large amount of
information comprehensively and succinctly.
25. Tips and Tricks
Don’t spend too much time working out what should go in the middle of your
bow-tie
start with an idea and then refine it as you work through the bow-tie as a whole.
Focus on your consequences first (to ensure the risk is something that you
actually care about).
Move between the different parts of the bow-tie, continually refining it
rather than trying to perfect one section before moving onto another
it is an iterative tool.
Feel free to add data where you have it and flex the tool to suit your needs.
Use colours to highlight areas of interest to the reader. This therefore
appears to individuals who like to skim read the tool to gain insight; but also
to those who like to see the detail.
28. Broader application of our approach
Critical success factor was integrating specialists with different
skills and backgrounds:
Sustainability, mining, geo-spatial and risk.
Satellite imagery saves time and money in many applications:
Life of mine planning – predicting upcoming risks
Pollution plume tracking and management
Business continuity plans – delineate high risk and impact areas,
plan alternative access routes, predict possible conflict areas,
determine refuge areas.
Liability determination e.g. based on impact zones, pollution
plumes etc.
29. Broader application of our approach
BowTie dashboards can communicate any risk
Additional enhancements include status of control implementation,
monitoring requirements, risk ratings.
Control owners can be included to ensure effective implementation
of controls.
Due to our time constraints the Bowties were not workshopped.
Ideally multiple disciplines would compile the bowtie to ensure
completeness.
30. Conclusion
Understanding sustainability risks early on is critical for all
businesses.
Obtaining the relevant information usually takes time and money.
Using satellite imagery to understand these risks reduces both.
Not all sustainability issues are immediately obvious.
On the ground verification increases confidence in image
interrogation.
Bowtie dashboards help communicate complex issues in an easy to
understand format.
