From conundrum to collaboration, conversation to connection: using networks t...Andrew Middleton
Workshop for SEDA 2016
We know that networks play an important role in academic life (Moron-Garcia, 2013) especially when dealing with the “unhomeliness” (Manathunga, 2007) of life as an academic developer, working across disciplinary and professional borders. This workshop will showcase an ongoing learning space collaboration that started over a casual conversation at a network meeting sharing conundrums and developed into a wider conversation across two institutions at different stages of learning space development. Between us, we will reflect on the power of conversation (Barrett et al., 2004), practices learnt and shared and highlight the importance of building inter-professional networks within and across institutions in order to inform and guide change (Pennington, 2003). As leaders in the academy academic developers are often given the tricky institutional conundrums to solve, however the delights of our role are the opportunities to build those networks, drawing on the generosity of our various communities enabling us to ask the awkward questions (Cousin, 2013) and answer them together working as a “critical friend in the academy” (Handal, 2008).
The activity will allow us to draw on our experiences of engaging in conversations for innovation. We will reflect how our motivations and purposes are different and will change throughout a collaboration, and how we sustain or conclude our work. A number of questions will be addressed with the aim of developing further collaborations among participants, sharing knowledge and establishing that you don’t need to know what you need to know before starting the conversation:
How do you ask for help?
Who do you ask for help?
How do you build networks within and between institutions?

EVOLVE! Summit 2019: Digital minimalism for recruitersKasia Tang
We live in a distracted society where few of us manage to go through their day without nervously checking their phone for social media notifications multiple times a day. This means we’re less and less able to engage in deep, focused work. But how can we avoid distraction when social media are one of our main tools at work? Is minimalising our digital interactions even an option for recruiters? I hope to convince you that by applying more discipline into how we use social media and other digital tools, we can maintain better focus at work and reach better results when sourcing.

Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
9. Knowledge management principles
1. Knowledge can only be volunteered, it cannot be conscripted.
2. We only know what we know when we need to know it.
3. In the context of real need few people will withhold their knowledge.
4. Everything is fragmented.
5. Tolerated failure imprints learning better than success.
6. The way we know things is not the way we report we know things.
7. We always know more than we can say, and we always say more than
we can write down.
