This document provides advice for crafting a successful engineering career. It discusses defining your goals and passions, choosing jobs that align with your interests and skills, the benefits of both startups and large companies, getting hired, building your career through ongoing education and leadership roles, dealing with failures, and balancing work with other interests to avoid burnout. The key messages are that engineering careers require lifelong learning, focusing on outstanding work, gaining technical expertise, developing leadership and communications skills, and learning from both successes and failures.
My presentation to UT Engineering's KTE mentorship program on 4/22/2019. It's primarily a presentation of the ideas of "Designing Your Life" by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, how I used those ideas in my own career transition, and how specifically it could apply in the context of UT Austin.

Truth about entrepreneurship (...in emerging economies like Pakistan)Babar Ahmed
Entrepreneurship is hard. In emerging economies, its REALLY hard! With the lack of a conducive ecosystem to support early stage technology entrepreneurs and non-existent institutional capital of any sorts to speak of, most startups get nipped right at the bud.
Having built a multi million dollar technology company from the ground up in exactly such an environment with no resources and/or external funding, here's my quick take on the ingredients needed to be successful.
Corporate politics and higher education presentation at HPAIR conferenceSuad Alhalwachi
This document discusses corporate politics and provides advice for navigating them. It begins by outlining the types of organizations that make up the corporate world, including large corporations, governments, and NGOs, which all have different agendas. Examples are then given of both positive and negative workplace cultures and politics at several large companies. The document warns that even seemingly great companies can be politically challenging. It provides examples of situations where employees were forced to leave jobs due to unfair treatment or politics. Finally, it suggests options for avoiding toxic corporate politics, such as starting one's own business, carefully researching potential employers, or becoming a consultant. The overall message is that politics are inevitable in large organizations but there are ways to minimize their impact or

Research has examined both engineering demographics and factors improving or impeding diversity. However, media regularly emphasizes current lack of diversity in technology, while putting considerably less focus on specific actions to drive change. We will share some research data, as well as information about a number of initiatives to draw in young people - from elementary to college - who might otherwise never consider an engineering future, including: target demographic groups, what specifically each initiative is doing, and results. Learn how specific initiatives are making a difference – and what you can do to make a difference, too.
This interactive workshop will be hosted by women who have decided to move back to a technical career path mid-career. It will discuss the number of women leaving IT, offer two 15 minute exercises on career and skills planning, and discuss the role of family, mentors and sponsors in successfully re-entering the technical career path.

NEED A JOB - A # 7 skills - need of the hour - unemployment 2030 - arise rob...Arise Roby
As much as one-third of the United States workforce could be out of a job by 2030 thanks to automation, according to new research from McKinsey. The consulting firm now estimates that between 400 million and 800 million individuals globally could be displaced by automation and need to find new work.There is a need of 7 important skills.which is discussed in this presentation
The document is a presentation about thinking given by Tim Richardson. It discusses why people don't think, keys to thinking such as increasing risk tolerance and encouraging innovation, different thinking styles like "Jud" and "Gen", and ways to take thinking to the next level including making time to think and taking small incremental improvements. It encourages recognizing and rewarding creativity to foster more innovative thinking.
This document discusses challenges graduates face when transitioning from education to employment. It notes that in the UK, 20% of graduates were unemployed in 2010 and there were over 45 applicants for each graduate job in 2011. In Australia, the unemployment rate increased to 5.1% in May 2012, with more people seeking both full-time and part-time work. The document emphasizes that students must understand employer needs, research target industries, and learn to communicate their skills and value effectively to employers through personal branding, cover letters, resumes and social media. It stresses taking action now to build skills and connections that can help graduates successfully transition into employment.
This document discusses how exponential technologies will disrupt jobs, organizations, and schools. It suggests that exponentials will evaporate the middle class by unbundling industries and work. This will lead to a portfolio approach to work with more fluid boundaries between work, leisure and learning. Problem-solvers of the future will need to be adaptive, creative and entrepreneurial to succeed in dynamic two-sided work markets facilitated by new platforms and models like co-working spaces.
The document discusses steps for preparing learning organizations and young people for an uncertain future of climate change and job disruption. It suggests focusing on the impacts of current changes, imagining possible futures, and developing new ideas for solutions. Young people expressed worries about climate change and automation but also hopes that technology could offer solutions. The document argues schools need to foster systems thinking, open-ended thinking, empathy, and ecology. It proposes organizing more around peer learning, play, plurality of ideas, and applying knowledge to real-world problems.
This document discusses strategies for addressing challenges in the future of work. It provides examples of programs that have been successful in helping different populations, including workers in transition, deeply disadvantaged individuals, and youth. Specific strategies that are highlighted as effective include short-term training focused on transferable skills, integrated social services, mentorship programs, and increasing access to opportunities like internships. The document also discusses what has worked for communities, such as developing shared visions and leveraging state policies.
The document discusses how physical space can impact innovation and entrepreneurship. It describes how Bill Aulet and Sanjay Sarma designed spaces at MIT to foster collaboration and experimentation, like the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship. The spaces are meant to help people relax and allow for random associations that can lead to new ideas, rather than focusing too narrowly. A coffee pot symbolizes the goal of creating an informal, comfortable environment that promotes exploration outside of one's comfort zone.
The document provides guidance on how to make effective decisions through evidence-based and appreciative approaches. It recommends focusing on understanding the "job to be done" and measuring success based on mission alignment. Shared leadership and open communication systems can draw on knowledge and expertise from all areas. Decisions should be made appreciatively by exploring possibilities rather than problems and adapting based on evidence.
This document provides guidance on how to make effective decisions through evidence-based and appreciative approaches. It emphasizes deciding appreciatively by focusing on strengths and possibilities rather than problems. Decision-makers should understand the "job to be done" and measure success based on outcomes. Shared leadership that allows knowledge and expertise from all levels can help. Creating systems for open communication and knowledge sharing also aids the decision process. Evidence should be used to continually learn and adapt approaches. Exploration, discovery and aligning resources with goals further support making good decisions.
The document discusses how the world of work is becoming more complex, with intangible assets like knowledge now making up 80% of the S&P 500's valuation compared to just 20% for tangible assets in 1980. It also discusses how workers now need "practical knowledge" like critical thinking, collaboration skills, and emotional intelligence more than just technical skills to thrive in complex work environments. The document proposes creating "corporate colleges" where most learning is done on the job through experience rather than in traditional academic settings, in order to better prepare workers with both hard and soft skills.
Working to Live, Not Living to Work: Five Insights into the Gen X WorkforceMBO Partners
This document summarizes insights from a webinar about Gen X workers who choose independent contract work. It finds that Gen X contractors value the flexibility, control, and ability to work on meaningful projects that independent work provides over traditional jobs. While they recognize challenges like uncertain incomes and retirement planning, Gen X independent workers are highly satisfied overall and most plan to remain independent contractors. The presentation suggests Gen X contractors will be an important part of the growing gig economy in the future.
This talk was given by Shridhar Shukla at Maharashtra Knowledge Corporation Limited sponsored conference on education and technology. The takeaway from this talk is: while we get the technology all straightened out, we must ensure that the human side of learning, human aspirations, and basic skills at which humans excel over machines need to be strengthened.

Overall, it conveys that success now requires embracing change and constantly updating one's skills.
Forgetting to Drain The Swamp + Other Lessons of Running a Creative BusinessDoug Eymer
As a creative professional, know that at some point, during your professional career (through either desire or necessity) you will have the opportunity to “strike out on your own”. These are some lessons that I have learned during my 30 year career.
Wayne Hodgins discusses trends shaping the future including the rise of the right brain economy, abundance and the long tail effect, and the importance of design thinking. He argues businesses will need to differentiate by making offerings emotionally compelling. The future will favor right brain, collaborative, interdisciplinary skills like synthesis, storytelling and finding solutions through trial and error. Innovation will be key, not just replicating the past.
StartupDigest in Madrid, Spain for Netday.es & FICODChris McCann
Life is too short to work at a boring company. This document discusses various aspects of startup life based on the author's experiences. It recommends (1) learning new skills outside your expertise, (2) developing a minimal viable product to test ideas quickly, and (3) working on something you're passionate about. While startups are unlikely to succeed economically, having a personal attachment to an idea can help drive success. The document aims to help more people learn about and get involved in the tech startup world.

He discusses how Jack Ma found success after many failures, and encourages students to stay hungry, work hard, and take opportunities to learn from failures. He provides advice on how to be competitive through seeking opportunities at OUSL and beyond, setting challenging targets, developing a personal brand, and having fun along the way.
The world is changing and the job force is changing with it. In today’s dynamic global economy, the most successful enterprises aren’t looking for workers who know a lot about only one thing. They are seeking employees who are nimble, curious and innovative.
The work done by lower-level accountants, computer programmers, engineers, lawyers and financial analysts is already being outsourced; soon it will be done by computers. The good jobs of the future will go to those who can collaborate widely, think broadly and challenge conventional wisdom — precisely the capacities of an entrepreneur. Kyle is sharing his journey and will illustrate the importance of developing an entrepreneurial mind-set. It's not about thinking about the first job, but a lifetime of jobs.

Above the code story telling : branded content : google israel : 12 februaryAlan Weinkrantz
This document provides guidance on using storytelling and branded content to promote startups and companies. It recommends treating your startup like a media company by creating and sharing content across various online platforms.

It also stresses the importance of coming across as human, having a clear mission, and putting your content and brand out in various places to get discovered.
The document provides a framework for developing brand strategies with three key elements: 1) identifying what targets (customers) care about, 2) determining what the brand is good at, and 3) defining the primary value the brand provides to predispose customers to purchase. It then gives examples of how to develop brand strategies for different companies/brands by identifying a claim and providing three proof points to support the claim that address what customers care about and what the brand is good at.
This document discusses entrepreneurship in India. It notes that India ranks 2nd globally for fastest growing technology firms, with 82 Indian companies making the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list in 2007. The average revenue growth for companies on the Technology Fast 50 of India list is 489% over three years. Entrepreneurship can help make India a superpower by 2050 by leveraging its democratic society, technology base, diversity, and large youthful population. However, India ranks poorly in terms of ease of doing business. The document argues that India needs more entrepreneurs than managers to create jobs and wealth within the country.

It also provides examples of AI tools and discusses how communication professionals can prepare for the future by developing analysis and thinking skills.

Topics covered include learning the many elements of your profile, populating your work experience history, and understanding why a profile is more than just a resume. You will be able to identify the different features available on LinkedIn and where to focus your attention. We will teach how to create a job search agent on LinkedIn and explore job applications on LinkedIn.
We recently hosted the much-anticipated Community Skill Builders Workshop during our June online meeting. This event was a culmination of six months of listening to your feedback and crafting solutions to better support your PMI journey. Here’s a look back at what happened and the exciting developments that emerged from our collaborative efforts.
A Gathering of Minds
We were thrilled to see a diverse group of attendees, including local certified PMI trainers and both new and experienced members eager to contribute their perspectives. The workshop was structured into three dynamic discussion sessions, each led by our dedicated membership advocates.
Key Takeaways and Future Directions
The insights and feedback gathered from these discussions were invaluable. Here are some of the key takeaways and the steps we are taking to address them:
• Enhanced Resource Accessibility: We are working on a new, user-friendly resource page that will make it easier for members to access training materials and real-world application guides.
• Structured Mentorship Program: Plans are underway to launch a mentorship program that will connect members with experienced professionals for guidance and support.
• Increased Networking Opportunities: Expect to see more frequent and varied networking events, both virtual and in-person, to help you build connections and foster a sense of community.
Moving Forward
We are committed to turning your feedback into actionable solutions that enhance your PMI journey. This workshop was just the beginning. By actively participating and sharing your experiences, you have helped shape the future of our Chapter’s offerings.
Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of the Community Skill Builders Workshop. Your engagement and enthusiasm are what make our Chapter strong and vibrant. Stay tuned for updates on the new initiatives and opportunities to get involved. Together, we are building a community that supports and empowers each other on our PMI journeys.
