Abstract: Despite the strides made recently for women in business, female tech professionals continue to be outpaced by their male counterparts. According to Silicon Valley Bank’s Innovation Economy Outlook survey, less than 50 percent of technology companies have women in the C-suite or serving on the board of directors. Only 19 percent of CIO positions for Fortune 250 companies are held by women.
In fact, the gender disparity among technology professionals seems to be increasing in spite of recent gains throughout the workplace. Fewer women are joining the tech workforce and the numbers of female students studying technology is in decline—today only 18 percent of computer science majors are women, compared to 37 percent in the mid-1980s. Add in a continued wage imbalance and a high turnover rate for female tech professionals mid-career and it is clear that there is work to be done. How can we encourage more women to join the technology field and insurance technology in particular? What can be done to break down the barriers to success as a female technology professional?
The document discusses the digital age and how digital disruption is impacting various industries. It outlines the opportunities presented by mobile internet, cloud computing, and the internet of things. It emphasizes that to compete in today's digital world, companies must embrace digital transformation, have a clear strategy, acquire new capabilities, challenge conventions, and put the customer first. Overall, the document promotes adapting to the digital age as a means of driving innovation, growth, and competitive advantage.

Australian Retail and the Digital AdvantageBen Gilchriest
This document discusses how Australian retailers can gain a digital advantage. It finds that while Australian consumers are early adopters of digital technologies, retailers are struggling to keep up with evolving customer demands. The document advocates developing a digital maturity by balancing investments in digital capabilities ("what" an organization does digitally) with strong digital transformation management ("how" an organization approaches digital transformation). Only a few "Digirati" retailers have achieved this, demonstrating both a digital vision and measurable business results from integrated digital initiatives. The document argues all retailers should take action now to develop their own digital DNA and close the gap with digitally mature competitors.

Loh Siew Meng presented a comparative study of ICT planning and development in Singapore and Nigeria to an audience at the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
The document discusses how the digital revolution will disrupt many industries and organizations that do not adapt. It makes the following key points:
- The changes from digital technologies so far are small compared to what is coming in the next few years. 40% of today's large companies may not exist in 10 years.
- Many industries are at risk of disruption, including higher education, tourism, retailing, business services, construction, and more. Companies must transform their business models to adapt.
- While some progress has been made in Scotland, the majority of organizations are unprepared for digital disruption. A major gap exists between current technology use and what is needed.
- All businesses must make digital transformation a priority
Digital empowerment enables digital participants to make maximum use of the potentials of information technologies. Digital empowerment largely involves creating a culture that supports and thrives on rapid innovation. It is critical in a knowledge society and economy. It requires openness, freedom, and democracy for furthering the progress towards a knowledge society. It is a necessity for any country that wants its citizens to participate in the global economy.

Yet, companies are not investing sufficiently in developing digital skills.
While most companies realize the importance of digital transformation and the digital skills gap, only 46% are investing in developing digital skills. Moreover, existing training efforts are often not well-aligned with digital strategies.
There is high demand for skills in areas like mobile, analytics and social media, but companies continue to rely heavily on traditional methods for sourcing digital talent. HR functions are also not actively involved in skills development.
To address the skills shortage, companies need to provide training, use innovative recruitment, partner with startups, and make targeted acquisitions. Programs like employee exchanges can help accelerate skills development.
- Companies recognize the shortage of digital skills as a key hurdle to digital transformation, yet less than half are investing in developing these skills. Existing training efforts are not well aligned with digital strategies.
- Traditional methods like training and recruitment are still relied on most for sourcing digital talent, as opposed to innovative methods like acquisitions. HR is also not actively involved in skills development for the most part.
- The skills most in demand are mobile, analytics, and social media, but companies report shortages in possessing these skills themselves. There is a need for professionals with both business and technical understanding to bridge existing divides.
The Next Normal Digital Transformation In A Post-pandemic FutureSeta Wicaksana
Technology offers businesses across industries incredible potential to engage with people around the world at a moment’s notice. Prior to the pandemic, many organizations were just beginning to see the potential that many of these capabilities offered their businesses. However, when in-person meetings and work were limited in response to Covid-19, they quickly realized just how powerful technology can be. The pandemic helped to accelerate digital transformation and created a landscape that will continue to encourage innovation and technological adoption moving forward. As businesses begin to better understand the capabilities of these types of modern technology, they will also begin to understand the opportunities that lie before them, even after the pandemic is over.
Digital transformation is more necessary during this crisis, not less. But that doesn’t mean it will look the same as it did before the pandemic. Resources—both in terms of talent and money—will likely be constrained. Digital initiatives may need to be reprioritized based on relevance in the current environment. New problems and opportunities may come to light with greater urgency. For some businesses, the forces of disruption may be so great that the long-term strategic vision will need to be overhauled. And any digital transformation roadmap that does not deliver value at every increment will need to be reimagined. The key is continuing to experiment and innovate with digital solutions front and center. With the right approach, businesses can come out of the fray stronger, more agile, and more customer-centric than before. Foremost, digitisation is accelerating. To lead in the post-COVID-19 world.
There will be no “return to normal”. The coronavirus is permanently reshaping the way we live and work. Some of the behaviors developed in crisis—including wide-scale digital adoption—will outlast the pandemic, well after restrictions on activity are lifted. To stay competitive, organizations must respond to these behavioral changes and meet emerging customer demands. Savvy organizations will focus now on leveraging advanced analytics to extract insights from their customer data and continue internal and external data integration efforts to develop a more holistic view. Detecting those signals of change early will be crucial to optimizing the customer experience and redefining customer value propositions in line with evolving preferences and needs.

#DTR8: The New Innovation Paradigm for the Digital Age: Faster, Cheaper and O...Capgemini
In this edition of the Digital Transformation Review, we examine how organizations can create sustainable and successful innovation strategy, drawing on our global panel of industry executives and academics.
We focus on four key themes:
Which digital innovations should be on organizations' radar screens?
How should companies promote innovation and embed it into their culture?
What lessons can we draw from organizations that are stand-out innovators?
What is the role and impact of innovation centers, including the Capgemini Consulting-Altimeter Group report, "The Innovation Game: Why and How Businesses are Investing in Innovation Centers".
The document profiles Kazi Monirul Kabir, the founder and chief innovation officer of Spider Digital Innovations, a UAE-based innovation consultancy. It discusses how large, established companies often struggle with innovation as they grow in size and discusses three approaches for large corporations to foster innovation: thinking big but starting small and learning quickly from failures; empowering a group of change agents within the company; and making innovation a core part of the organization's culture and strategy.
This document discusses the stages of digital maturity that companies can be categorized into. It outlines four stages identified by Capgemini Consulting: Digirati, Fashionistas, Beginners, and Conservatives. The Digirati are digital pioneers that invest in new technologies and generate revenue from digital transformations. Fashionistas experiment with technologies but lack unified strategies. Beginners use basic software but not advanced analytics. Conservatives have technology visions but are skeptical of changes. Industries are at different stages, with technology, banking, and retail leading as Digirati, while manufacturing and pharma lag as Beginners.
While some industries are more traditionally considered "digital beginners", no industry can afford to ignore digital transformation. Pioneering companies in even traditionally non-digital industries like pharma, healthcare, and beauty are embracing digital technologies to gain an edge over competitors. The article provides examples of CAPSULE pharmacy delivering prescriptions digitally in New York, Philips creating a connected care platform, and L'Oreal innovating with apps and sensors to become a leader in digital beauty. The key point is that in today's hyper-connected environment, all companies must adopt digital or risk falling behind competitors.
The Game Changer : Presentation to the Future Leaders of Bangladesh Hosted by...Kazi Monirul Kabir
This document discusses the traits of a "game changer". It identifies two fundamental traits: fortune telling, which is the ability to see the future now, and floor changing, which is the ability to convert ceilings into floors. It provides examples of individuals throughout history who demonstrated fortune telling by making observations that went against conventional thinking at the time, such as observations about the movement of the sun, gravity, and evolution, centuries before they were more widely accepted. The document asks if any game changers are present in the room.
This document appears to be a travelogue by Kazi Monirul Kabir containing quotes and reflections from various years between 1993 and 2012. It includes brief mottos from 1993 and 2002, a quote from General Colin Powell from 2002 about how being responsible sometimes means pissing people off. A quote from 2009 discusses how the summit of a mountain is a narrow place you can't stay for long before making space for others and finding your next mountain to climb.
Social media usage in Bangladesh has grown rapidly over the past year, with 19 million Bangladeshis now on Facebook, a 12 million increase. Bangladesh also saw 120,000 new mobile subscribers. This growth has been driven by expanding internet access and is revolutionizing Bangladeshi society and economy. However, social media engagement remains largely limited to Facebook and blogging, and internet penetration is still low overall. There is potential for social media to become a key way to share information online in Bangladesh if these trends continue.
Navigating the Crossroad July 2013 at EMK Centre, DhakaKazi Monirul Kabir
The document provides advice from Steve Jobs about finding work you love and not settling. It also mentions navigating your career and planning your future in 3 steps. The overall message is about pursuing work you are passionate about and having a plan to achieve your career goals.

The document discusses corporate responsibility and CSR. It provides perspectives from economists like Milton Friedman who argued that a corporation's only social responsibility is to increase profits. However, there is a growing expectation for corporations to consider stakeholders beyond just shareholders. The document then discusses Grameenphone's approach to CSR, which focuses on creating shared value through economic, environmental and social actions using their core business of connectivity.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
