Inspirational Women in STEM and Grand Challenges for you to Solve
This is a talk I gave in 2016 highlighting some of the women who inspired me in mathematics, computer science, space exploration, and beyond. It features images from Rachel Ignotofsky's beautiful "Women in Science" which everyone should read.
Why Consider Software Engineering as a Career
Software engineering specifically is about designing, writing, testing, implementing and maintaining software. In 2017 and beyond, it is about much more. Software doesn’t affect any one group of people; rather, software plays a massive role in our lives from the moment we wake up, travel to work, school or wherever we spend significant time during our lives. This talk delivered in November 2017 to high school students in Australia, aims to introduce teenagers to the wide range of opportunities in software engineering and information technology-related majors at university and careers upon graduation. #STEM #sofwareengineering #robotics #AI #GirlsCanCode
Agriculture’s Big Challenges (Opportunities) in 2027 & Beyond
Three part presentation --
1) Agriculture MUST play a major role in the future of our world. Feeding nine billion, peace, stability, etc. But, against headwinds including climate change and animal/human health interface.
2) Technology WILL play a role due to exponential growth, applications, etc. Includes conversation about big data, artificial intelligence, sharing economy, automation, driver-less equipment, and the Internet of Things
3) Concludes with a look at an "imaginary" agricultural professional and leader in the year 2027 and how she might use these technologies to address new, exciting needs in the ag industry.
It’s hard to stand still on a moving train
Exponential technologies like AI, robotics, and computing are advancing rapidly and will transform many aspects of life over the next 5 years. Hardware is getting cheaper and more capable through advances like quantum computing. Software is benefiting from large datasets, open source projects, and new algorithms. This will drive progress in areas like autonomous vehicles, drones, personalized healthcare through technologies like CRISPR and 3D bioprinting. Realizing the benefits of these technologies will require addressing challenges around safety and aligning advanced AI systems with human values and priorities.
Five Mega-Trends in Agriculture - Tools, Technology 2017
Presentation by John Shutske, Professor and Agricultural Engineering Specialist, University of Wisconsin and UW-Extension, Cooperative Extension Service. Presentation covers four tech and one demographic trend. These are: DATA, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT, SHARING/COLLABORATIVE ECONOMY, and INCREASING ROLES OF WOMEN IN AGRICULTURE. Please retain ALL photo credits listed in the last slide. Presented at 2017 Wisconsin Agribusiness Classic, Madison, WI
Reality vs Hype of Working Social
Often enterprise social networking platforms are touted as the solution to the communication and collaboration problems organizations experience. While it's true "working social" has many benefits, it's naive to think it does not have its own set of challenges. Don't worry though, there are solutions to these challenges.
Hopefully this presentation cuts through the "fluffy" industry hype and provides a realistic look at social networking. The slides may be hard to follow with the words though, so feel free to contact me for more details.

Lesson Learned in Scaling Enterprise DevOps
Time-to-market and software quality are essential for today’s enterprises in achieving business goals and in creating and sustaining differentiation. DevOps is evolving into a major enabler of business innovation. If done well in a consistent, scalable and repeatable manner can drive digital transformation at an enterprise level. But crossing the chasm from successful DevOps pilots with two-pizza teams to enterprise adoption remains a challenge. The question is how do you scale their success to your whole organization?
Join our panelists to learn:
• How enterprises are successfully achieving scale as they unpack the "new normal" for disruptive software delivery
• How to assess your own organization’s readiness for scaling DevOps, and to identify next steps

The design thinking transformation in business
Presented at Webvisions Barcelona 2015 By Cathy Wang & Nuno Andrew
The definition of design is shifting from being a noun to a verb. We see it moving away from arts and craft into a methodology of delivering value. Adapting to this shift, designers and changemakers are forming a new way of design thinking.
As designer, not only are we crafting products / services, but we are also learning to see a much bigger system with a deep connection to business factors. How can we influence businesses with design thinking in order to build a solid business platform that delivers meaningful products / services.
Systems thinking is an approach to problem solving. Businesses are an intricate ecosystem, from how the organisation is structured, to people, to commercial planning, to processes. As designers, we practice systems thinking everyday. How do we use this knowledge to craft a business? This, is business design.
In this session, we want to explore what business design means. How to use what we know, as designers, to build stronger businesses? As we continue to adapt design methodologies and systems thinking to a business context, what other manifestations that will evolve? How can design thinking be leveraged in even the most straight-laced silos of a business such as Human Resources and Finance? How do we give design thinking the space it needs in the face of traditional business practice? And most importantly, how do we use our existing design thinking knowledge, to design businesses?
2007 Forecast on the Future of Surveillance Technologies

Future of open education scenarios
This document outlines two possible scenarios for the future of open education. The first scenario is the "Fall of the Silos" where content, teaching, access, and sources become increasingly open through a rise in sharing and the gig economy. This could increase access to information but also lead to issues like industry collapse and less privacy. The second scenario is "Closed and Proprietary Wins" where content and teaching remain closed through social changes that treat users as consumers rather than owners. This could improve content quality but also lead to higher costs and a steepening class divide. The document discusses impacts each scenario could have on technology challenges and the role of students and faculty on college campuses.
How Four Cognitive Biases Deceive Analysts and Destroy Actionability
In this presentation for the Intelligence Collaborative, I explore cognitive bias - social, decision, probability, and memory - and its effect distortion clear thinking about strategy and decision making. This is part of of my executive training course "Executive Mind Traps.
Data fusion for city live event detection
Event detection in urban context by using aggregated mobile activity as for example CDR data and social network data in this case geo-referenced Twitter data. The experiments show that the two datasets - CDR and social data - used, complement each other by providing better event detection results and event detscription.
forecasting methods
- Forecasting helps reduce risk and uncertainty in decision making by predicting future outcomes.
- There are three main types of forecasting methods: qualitative, extrapolative/time series, and causal/explanatory.
- Time series forecasting uses historical data patterns to predict future values, accounting for trends, seasonality, cycles, and randomness. Common time series forecasting techniques include moving averages, weighted moving averages, and exponential smoothing.
Using Financial Forecasts to Advise Business - Method of Forecasting - Revised
This document discusses various methods for forecasting future financial needs, including qualitative and quantitative approaches. It outlines steps in the forecasting process such as projecting sales, expenses, investment needs, and determining financing requirements. Specific forecasting techniques are described, such as naive forecasts, moving averages, regression analysis, and more. The document also covers financial analysis methods like ratio analysis, variance analysis, benchmarking, and break-even analysis. Finally, it discusses top-down vs. bottom-up forecasting and different approaches to building budgets such as incremental, zero-based, and activity-based budgeting.
Forecasting methods by Neeraj Bhandari ( Surkhet.Nepal )
This document discusses various forecasting methods used to predict future outcomes when historical data is available or not. It describes subjective qualitative methods like sales force composites, customer surveys, and Delphi techniques that rely on expert opinions. Objective quantitative methods include causal models that examine factors influencing outcomes and time series analysis of historical trends, seasonality, and levels. The document also outlines short, medium, and long-term forecasting horizons and the appropriate techniques for each.
Forecasting
Volume forecasting involves predicting future sales volumes in two stages: initial and final forecasts. The initial forecast is done weekly based on past sales, bookings, and trends. The final forecast is done the day before to account for latest developments and make adjustments. Forecasting helps minimize over/underproduction and control costs when used with standard recipes, menus, and portion sizes. It also aids in purchasing, availability of ingredients, and comparing actual vs predicted sales volumes.
Strategies for Mature and Declining Markets
This document discusses strategies for mature and declining markets. It explains that mature markets can still provide opportunities through differentiation, cost leadership, or pursuing additional growth. Declining markets require evaluating demand trends, exit barriers, and competitive intensity to determine the best strategy of harvesting, maintaining, niche, or profitable survival. Overall success relies on sustaining customer loyalty and value through quality, service, cost management, or stimulating further volume growth.
How to Succeed at Jobs That Don't Exist Yet
Christopher Bishop discusses how jobs are rapidly changing due to new technologies. The US Department of Labor predicts that today's learners will have 8-10 jobs by age 38. Many current jobs did not exist 5 years ago, and 15% of future jobs have not been created yet. Bishop argues that general skills like problem solving, leadership, humility, understanding cause and effect, and expertise will be more important than test scores. Employers will care more about what people can do with their knowledge rather than how they learned it. Bishop encourages the audience to stay excited and prepared for an uncertain future.

How the Live Web Feels about Events
1) The document proposes a technique to detect real-world events by monitoring changes in the aggregate emotional states of geographical groups of social media users. It models the distribution of emotions expressed in tweets over time using kernel density estimation and detects outliers to identify emerging events.
2) Preliminary experiments on 300 million tweets from 400,000 users showed the technique can efficiently classify emotions and detect various event types like sports, politics, earthquakes, and celebrity events based on changes in emotional distributions of tweets over time and across locations.
3) The authors conclude that affective social media content exhibits temporal and spatial locality and their event detection approach leverages this by monitoring emotion changes in geographical user groups over time to identify real-

Making Decisions in a World Awash in Data: We’re going to need a different bo...
In his abstract, Scriffignano summarizes as follows:
l explore some of the ways in which the massive availability of data is changing and the types of questions we must ask in the context of making business decisions. Truth be told, nearly all organizations struggle to make sense out of the mounting data already within the enterprise. At the same time, businesses, individuals, and governments continue to try to outpace one another, often in ways that are informed by newly-available data and technology, but just as often using that data and technology in alarmingly inappropriate or incomplete ways. Multiple “solutions” exist to take data that is poorly understood, promising to derive meaning that is often transient at best. A tremendous amount of “dark” innovation continues in the space of fraud and other bad behavior (e.g. cyber crime, cyber terrorism), highlighting that there are very real risks to taking a fast-follower strategy in making sense out of the ever-increasing amount of data available. Tools and technologies can be very helpful or, as Scriffignano puts it, “they can accelerate the speed with which we hit the wall.” Drawing on unstructured, highly dynamic sources of data, fascinating inference can be derived if we ask the right questions (and maybe use a bit of different math!). This session will cover three main themes: The new normal (how the data around us continues to change), how are we reacting (bringing data science into the room), and the path ahead (creating a mindset in the organization that evolves). Ultimately, what we learn is governed as much by the data available as by the questions we ask. This talk, both relevant and occasionally irreverent, will explore some of the new ways data is being used to expose risk and opportunity and the skills we need to take advantage of a world awash in data.

- Information, data, knowledge and wisdom are defined. Information is organized data that has meaning and purpose. Knowledge involves reflecting on and synthesizing information.
- Characteristics of information are discussed, such as information being situational and dependent on human interpretation. Information can be "good" or "bad" depending on its accuracy and relevance.
- The reading discusses Ursula Franklin's perspective that technology should be viewed as a sociotechnical system and practice embedded in culture, not just its material components. Franklin analyzes how technologies can prioritize worker control over empowerment.
Thin Slicing a Black Swan: When Less Is More
As infosec professionals we are swimming in prodigious amounts of data, but it isn’t making us better at our jobs, it seems to make us worse. In Verizon’s 2012 Data Breach Investigations Report, it was found that across organizations, an external party discovers 92% of breaches. We continue to desperately grasp at that straw of, “more data,” but what if this is simply information gluttony? Incident response's bloated model drives it closer to a form of security archeology rather than its promise of real-time relevance.
You online: Identity, Privacy, and the Self
This document provides an overview of online identity and privacy. It discusses what constitutes online identity across different platforms and how online identities are tracked through user data collection. Specific examples are given around how easily user data can be de-anonymized and linked back to individuals even when anonymized. The document then explores several alternative network architectures like Tor, I2P and Freenet that provide increased privacy and anonymity compared to the traditional internet. It argues these alternatives show an internet with different structures is possible.
