Are you ready for the 4th industrial revolution?Sylvain Kalache
It's been a year that I left my job at LinkedIn to start my new professional life in the world of education, I wanted to share the biggest thing I learnt during this time.
Our world as we know it is about to drastically change, with the recent huge improvements in the world of deep learning and artificial intellligence, we are about to enter a new world where robot will take over a lot of tasks that were done by humans. What will be the impact? How shall we react? How to train the workforce? Are few questions I answer in this deck.
Linked blog post here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/you-ready-4th-industrial-revolution-sylvain-kalache
AI and its allied technolgies present an exciting scenario of job changes in coming decades. So are the concerns about loss of traditional jobs. What would be the net impact? We explore the economic models and concepts that allay unfound fears; yet warn us to be ready for constant changes and need for continuous skill rebuilding.
AI and Robotics are already here. Are we ready to embrace the reality of its impact on the future of jobs and the Workplace? What are the jobs that are likely to become redundant?
AI leadership. AI the basics of the truth and noise publicLucio Ribeiro
There are 6 things I identified in the last 2 Years I have been working in AI.
The Problem is - Hysteria
The lack of context is leading to Noise
The Noise is distracting from the attention and urgency where AI should really be
Executives want a Solution and Directions.
THE GOOD NEWS IS: You don’t need to know the HOW to do, leave this to the tech dudes. You need to know the WHY?
You need to create a culture of enablement. A culture of Data
A review of the issues associated with prospective technological unemployment. This includes the outlook for universal income or guaranteed income funded by robot taxes. It also covers the U.S. fiscal capacity to undertake such a scheme.
AI and robotics are facilitating the automation of a growing number of “doing” tasks. Today’s AI-enabled, information-rich tools are increasingly able to handle jobs that in the past have been exclusively done by people, for example, tax returns, language translations, accounting, even some types of surgery. It has been reported that about 60 percent of all occupations have at least 30 percent of activities that are technically automatable, based on currently demonstrated technologies. This means that most occupations will change, and more people will have to work with technology.

The Changing World of Work - Changing from a Job-focus to a Performance-focusWINNERS-at-WORK Pty Ltd
The job description has mostly documented the technical requirements of work. It makes little or no mention of non-job behaviours such as attitude, enthusiasm, ability to work in teams. The non-job behaviours are becoming more important that the job behaviours.
How Will the World of Work be Changing in 2016Shorebird RPO
Twelve months ago Michael Millward, volunteer chair of the CIPD North Yorkshire branch collated predictions from various organisations about how the world of work would be changing in 2015.
Now he kick starts 2016 by looking again at those predictions, identifying which predictions came to be and what is being predicted for the coming year.
We live in a fast changing world. How will your organisation adapt to changes in world politics, global and local economics, corporate governance, travel, education, training, legislation and lifestyle?
Michael will explore what global thought leaders are predicting and how some organisations are already adapting their employment strategies to meet these changing needs.
At the end of the webinar you will be able to see how your own organisation may need to adapt to remain competitive in what is certain to be another twelve months of change in the world of work.

Disrupt you! strategies for billion dollar success in the era of endless inn...Jay Samit
How can we make a difference with our lives when our world is changing faster than we can keep up? Technology, Science, the climate and even our jobs are transforming well beyond Darwinian rates. Our generation is being impacted by change like no other generation before it. We are the most educated and diverse in history. We are aware and adaptable, inspired and creative. We want our lives to have meaning, and we're not afraid to tweet, post, comment, like, swipe, or share them.
Our tablets are our TVs, and our phones are our teddy bears (show someone sleeping with phone). We believe in meaning over money, mentors over bosses. We are more concerned about making a difference, than making a buck. And if we’re not happy in the workplace…we will find or create a new one.
And with all this spirit, expectation, and energy that we invest in our careers, our generation also faces the biggest challenges: A shortage of jobs, lower wages, rising costs, crushing student debt, and a business landscape that is changing faster than most employees can adapt. Companies that survived for decades are being disrupted and put out of business seemingly overnight. Could your job, your company, your industry be next? How secure is your position? Are you really living life or just paying bills until you die?
Disrupt You will show you how every threat to the status quo is actually an opportunity in disguise. Disruption isn’t about what happens to you, it’s about how you respond to what happens to you.
The self-made billionaire in his twenties, an unheard of possibility a decade ago, now happens with regular frequency. The startup company, with little funding and a small staff, displaces hundred-year-old companies with billions in revenues virtually overnight. The consultant, with no background in technology or operating a business, makes millions of dollars online. This tightly interconnected world of the 21st century is exploding with new opportunities for personal empowerment and financial independence. What do all of these disruptions have in common? They were led by people who first disrupted internal assumptions about what they were capable of achieving and then unlocked that newly discovered potential to change their world.
Disrupt You will teach you how to master personal transformation, seize opportunity and thrive in this era of endless innovation. Disrupt You is an engaging, paradigm-shifting book that demystifies the mechanics of disruption and shows how anyone can thrive in an era of technological transformation.
You have a choice in life: pursue your dreams or be hired by someone else to help them fulfill their dreams. To change who you are, you must first change who you think you are.

Redefining Success: How to Take Charge of Your CareerAnna Lundberg
The uncertain economic situation along with a changing work landscape has transformed the conditions for success in our personal and professional lives. It’s no longer a question of staying comfortably in the same job until we retire, while the boundaries between work and home have also blurred. We must become proactive and take ownership of our own careers, and our lives. We must open our minds to different options, challenging our assumptions and taking calculated risks; we must make sure that we’re constantly developing our skills via lifelong learning that will ensure that we’re competitive against our peers, not just locally but globally; we must take responsibility for the direction of our own careers, making meaningful connections and building our personal brands; and we must do all this with passion and conviction, as we craft our own versions of our most fulfilled lives.

The Fragmented Enterprise: ECM in the Era of Social Business.AIIM International
The traditional organizational structure of workers sat at desktops, connecting to a business application protected by a firewall is rapidly eroding. In a short period of time we have gone from a wired and bound world, to an unwired "internet in the pocket" world. Driven by the power of the cloud and the crowd, enterprise technology is experiencing innovation at an unparalleled pace with no sign of things slowing down. In this keynote session we will look at what this new digital infrastructure enables, both the positive opportunities for truly social business to emerge alongside the challenges and serious unresolved issues it also raises.
It has been said that Mobiles +Cloud + Social + Big Data = Better Run The World. IBM has invested over $20 billion since 2005 to grow its analytics business, many companies will invest more than $120 billion by 2015 on analytics, hardware, software and services critical in almost every industry like ; Healthcare, media, sports, finance, government, etc.
It has been estimated that there is a shortage of 140,000 – 190,000 people with deep analytical skills to fill the demand of jobs in the U.S. by 2018.
Decoding the human genome originally took 10 years to process; now it can be achieved in one week with the power of Analytic and BI (Business Intelligence). This lecture’s Key Messages is that Analytics provide a competitive edge to individuals , companies and institutions and that Analytics and BI are often critical to the success of any organization.
Methodology used is to teach analytic techniques through real world examples and real data with this goal to convince audience of the Analytics Edge and power of BI, and inspire them to use analytics and BI in their career and their life.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Thanks you and intro me
Agenda on what we are going to talk through
I hope to terrify you about the future, but then hopefully end with some good news..
I am also concious I am between you and your evening drinks in the beautiful sunshine
Health warning – when you discuss predictions you can be very wrong
Health warning – when you discuss predictions you can be very wrong
This was the first critique of the internet – vague but exciting
Something that was to become the most important communication and information tool of all time – it’s a bit of an understatement
A quote I heard from a futurist Lynda Gratton - the future of work research
Its scary how quick things are changing yet this will be slow compared to how quick things will change in the future!
China – one child policy going to be a big challenge
One child households – different marker for them
The idea od your middle age is going to ave to change
France in real trouble…but it wont affect the politicians wo are making these laws – it will be their grandchildren
2.1 is the number of babies
We either need to make more babies or import more babies
Here are the scary numbers around Europe
Pension example
Do one thing that will set your company in a new direction is to make your company more female-informed. Women are the majority of purchasers and the sharers of everything. Social media better for women. So look at any area that is male dominated and change it.
It says global youth unemployment is more than 13 percent, compared to the overall worldwide rate of six percent.
The International Labor Organization says in 2013, nearly 202 million people were unemployed around the world. This represents an increase of almost five million on the previous year
ILO Director-General Guy Ryder says worse is to come. He says current trends indicate the number of unemployed will increase in coming years and is expected to reach 215 million by 2018.
Huge increase in innovation….$

While there are many good reasons to get an academic qualification, it is also a sort of currency and it can go up and down dependent on market conditions. Unprecedented numbers are now going to college, in the 1970s 1 in 20 people went to college, now its 1 in 3 and will potentially rise to 1 in 2. According to UNESCO the number of people gaining formal education qualifications will exceed the gross total since the beginning of history. So now something more is needed to edge above the crowd

http://www.wiredacademic.com/2013/01/davos-12-year-old-pakistani-prodigy-girl-talks-about-her-online-learning/
Khadijah (Ka-dee-jeh) Niazi of Lahore, Pakistan, is an inspirational example of how online education is revolutionizing learning. She was only 10 years old when she first took the Artificial Intelligence online course on Udacity. She managed to finish the course and, the following year, Khadijah completed Udacity’s Physics course with highest distinction, being the youngest ever girl to complete it.
Now, Khadijah is 12-years old, and earlier this month she sat next to Udacity founder Sebastian Thrun, Bill Gates of Microsoft, Larry Summers of Harvard, Thomas L. Friedman of The New York Times, and other panelists at the Victor Pinchuk Foundation’s 6th Philanthropic Roundtable, which took place at Davos in conjunction with the World Economic Forum. The discussion aims to show how MOOCs are finding their way to young prodigies around the world and how they are potentially changing the game in educational access.
“I think that MOOCs may allow peace in the world,” she says at one point during the video.
Why is she there. Because the Stanford lecturer put all his notes online and all MIT lectures are online and 1.5 million people has put it online. But he has also out the exam online. 20,000 people did the exam online, the same exam first year software engineering students at Stanford did online. She came first!!

Exponential growth – one piece of rice on the first square and double after each square….
on the twentieth square it would have had to put 1,000,000 grains of rice. On the fortieth square it would have had to put 1,000,000,000 grains of rice. And, finally on the sixty fourth square the it would have had to put more than 18,000,000,000,000,000,000 grains of rice which is equal to about 210 billion tons and is allegedly sufficient to cover the whole territory of India with a meter thick layer of rice.

Make a human trachea
Bring manufacturing back from China….
People did not stop taking pictures or listening to music – they just changed how they did this
If everything else is being reinvented why would recruitment not follow?
Taxis – also uber
Look at the mosquito repeller – also works for kids under 12
But look at the service industry and how this cannot work the same way – presenting today – what can I do
I can talk faster or maybe record it and put it on a video screen but both are less aceptabel than what is happening now…..
Highlighting a paper publisehed at the University of Oxford by Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael A. Osborne, the Atlantic serves as the harbiner of doom for workers in several industries and occupations. Inevitable technological progress, they say, will continue to eat into jobs in manufacturing, administrative support, retail, and transportation in "a decade or two."
Some jobs harder –if I wanted to be more productive or efficient I could speak faster or put myself on the screen but both would more than liely impact the presentation…
BYOD
Temporary high unemployment is generating an overwhelming pool of the wrong applicants when companies need to tightly match the right skills with the candidates they need to recruit.
Conclusion – hiring is very difficult
First you need to find the right people and either you find none or you are swamped with applications
Then you need to be clear who is right for you
Then they need to want you
…not as straightforward as it seems given people are not rational
Opps for people to be educated
Harder and easier to find talent if you change how you think
2 years ago 30% of CTOs reported into their CEO, now only 23% do,
compare that to the fact that practically every CFO reports into the CEO, why is this the case, especially with added importance of IT
Well the business is confused – there are no longer just IT Directors or CTOs, there are now CIOs, Chief Mobile Officers and many other acronyms. This can cause the CEO a challenge – they like one point of contact on this or more accurately one “throat to choke” and this does not give them one.
Also IT professionals recently surveyed felt the most important skill for Directors in Technology was people/ soft skills, but they admitted they were doing little about it. This is critical, as CEOs want CTOs who are influencers, who can increase or create whole new revenue streams and who can help shape the business strategy
Graph on most imp vs most trained on skill
So they recognise that people skills are the most important but they also agree they dont get any training on this
It is much more nebulous and it is also something much more difficult to identify a quick win unlike legal training for example
Surveying anecdotally many IT professionals who do not work for a tech company – so say if they work for Lisney, for KPMG, for Musgraves or kerry group – they are more likely to say they work in IT rather than answer the question with the company they work for.
This is interesting if you think about what this says – for technology to be front and centre of the organisation we need the technologists to associate themselves with the company brand– this may need to change
SO as you heard yesterday – if you are in IT are you proud of the company you work for
Again someone highligthed yesterday via a question that there seems to be quite a difference in a tech led company and one that is not
We know that 1 year olds accessing ipads and IT have school policies technology for 6 year olds
It’s a brave new world out there.
However where this becomes a challenge is how IT is now in everybody’s homes in everyone’s pocket and .
How can I be master of the universe Saturday and Sunday, and such a dweeb Monday to Friday?
How is it I can find out who sat beside me in second class in school, but not know who my best customer is?
What’s going on here!
the fact that everyone uses technology in almost everything they do means they feel they know what they need and they want it now.
People expect to achieve very simple chores on mobile devices and it frustrates them when IT cannot do this in a business context.
The importance of data security, IT audits, compliance, password security is lost on the business user
So there is this feeling in every business and from the CEO that technology should be giving them more of an advantage
So how can the proliferation of technology in the business act as a positive not a challenge and improve the brand of IT?
And stop business people asking “why can’t I”
but ask yourself what measure your organisations use to measure talent and effectiveness – probably very little, so don’t expect anyone to want to have the best team in place but you. It is now the key differentiator
But, hiring while critical is a hugely deficient skill and also more importantly something IT professionals dislike.
Bill Gates always talked about others POSSIBLY having better technology but Microsoft having better talent, so they created something and we made it better and he did this with the spreadsheet, the database, the internet etc.
One of his contentions was that while Microsoft had innovators, they made a lot more money neutralising the competitors – so they were always clear on the skills they needed – so you do to?
Tell the story first to the business then talk about the importance of data!
You will capture the room better
The business do not admire complexity they want a simple message and now more than ever that helps make speedier decisions.
You have heard the phrase facts tell, stories sell, for those of you who never heard this story about the store Target I will recount it quickly
A father is irate when his 15 year old daughter receives info about pregnancy clothes, from Target, on a mail drop. He complains about the inappropriateness to the shop but subsequently apologises as he unfortunately find out his 15 y/o is pregnant. Target looked into their data and it highlighted that she had changed from scented to unscented shampoo and had bought a range of vitamins mainly bought by pregnant women – all of this had generated her profile as being pregnant, so the store knew before the father knew – that’s how data analytics are now tracking us

We don’t just want technologists who understand the business we want products that do the work for us. Many failed IT solutions could be summarised as – the product worked, the business just did not use it correctly but what about products that work if you use it or not
We just partnered with Datahug who provide a crm tool around capturing email traffic – the beauty is there is no manual entries needed from the sales team so it works in the background because everyone uses email -perfect
You see this very simply with channels like Yammer and Chatter – simple Social communication tools that are understood by the business and are for the business – these are becoming really powerful not just for communication but for areas like crowdsourcing – something Dell are using effectively I have seen.
Also we are now seeing three year product launces that need 50 developers
Secondly get your team to be visible – never before have the whole of the business been so ensconced in technology – use it to your advantage,
The business wants to talk technology, the CEO is using more technology, this is a chance to break down barriers of the business and technology and speak to the business about the business –
If you improve the IT brand – you will improve the IT influence.
Because they had LAND, CAPITAL or RAW MATERIALS..not any more
So it all comes down to ...Talent.
Steve Ilop, Former CEO Nokia was quoted last year
“How is it possible that Apple created the iPhone in 2007 and in 2011, Nokia has nothing remotely similar?”
a damning sentence you can say – Nokia felt it had to out-differentiate Apple
it was too proud to copy; whereas Google had Android out incredibly quickly. So until you know what the critical business drivers are you may struggle to hire the best IT talent – are you hiring innovators, or are you hiring business savvy technologists where speed to market may sometimes be the more important driver than innovation.
Said…Every hiring manager ever,at some point in their career
Once you know what you want YOU need to start looking to tap into the vast amount of networks available to IT professionals (and they are vast) and spend time finding out who those people you want are.
Simpl put - when you know what you want – it becomes a lot easier to find it or in this case them
Y don’t have to like social media but you have to go with the trends – mobile devices, I in 7 people in the workd in facebook etc
How is that infused into your hiring strategy
Ritzys nightclub
7 times more likely to be viewed with a pic than without
Referrals – use your own networks
You do everything by interview – therefore you are using a very poor assessment tool, and you do it 5 times as opposed to giving some sort of a test – you would not hire a secretary without checking typing speed, there are plenty of tests to give IT, marketing, finance professionals but we do not use them Its about de-selection not selection however de-selecting based on degree would exclude such visionaries such as: Steve jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Michael dell etc
If you found the perfect candidate would you hire them – no I need to see a few more candidates!
You take forever to make a decision because rightfully you worry about hiring but you end up losing candidates who love companies that can move the process along
You do not put out your best people to hire
Reference – nothing highlights better how good they are – work harder to get reliable references, there are ways around companies saying they don’t give out references – we are a small village really – someone will always know someone
Always be ready to hire – many great people apply to companies they love not positions and companies cannot handle this – you need to!
NO 5 is interesting – the importance of what te company does

It says global youth unemployment is more than 13 percent, compared to the overall worldwide rate of six percent.
The International Labor Organization says in 2013, nearly 202 million people were unemployed around the world. This represents an increase of almost five million on the previous year
ILO Director-General Guy Ryder says worse is to come. He says current trends indicate the number of unemployed will increase in coming years and is expected to reach 215 million by 2018.
