BUILDING A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS WITH BI AND DIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONJen Stirrup
The objective of Digital Transformation is improve the quality and resilience of digital services to serve customers better, and data is a cruel part of fulfilling that ambition. As the organisation moves forward in pursuit of its strategic ambitions, it will need to remain focused on the stabilisation and improvement of existing technology and data foundations. To succeed, organisations need continuously strive to improve data, systems and processes for people using digital solutions; it is not simply digitising paper processes. The challenge of digital transformation is to work with people, but how can you build systems that serve them well to achieve and deliver more in a customer-focused way? Innovators will relish the opportunity to adopt new technology, but laggars are often waiting for proof that this will help them deliver better services or products. The challenge is that the adoption of digital solutions varies significantly from one person to the next, one team to the next and one organisation to the next. In this keynote, there will be a discussion of the industry landscape followed by takeaways that will help digital transformation in your organization.
1. Do more than get the basics right
2. Build confidence in changes through better use of data
3. How to oversee delivery while considering strategy

In this session, we’ll discuss metrics you can collect, share each other’s best practices for data collection processes, and demo dashboard tools that will help you see the big picture.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
