My 'Technopreneurship' presentation @ SCIT Pune!!!Akshay Shah
The document discusses the scope of entrepreneurship, or "technopreneurship", in the technology sector. It notes that the web now encompasses most IT areas like websites, portals, mobile, social media, software as a service, and more. It outlines opportunities in areas like cloud computing, mobile apps, and social/collaboration tools. The document encourages starting up now despite risks and difficulties, noting many successful entrepreneurs succeeded due to circumstances rather than choice. Passion, perseverance, and persistence are key to becoming a successful technopreneur according to the document.
The document discusses entrepreneurship and provides information on why some people become entrepreneurs, challenges entrepreneurs may face, and key aspects of starting a business. It notes that while not everyone is suited to entrepreneurship due to risks like uncertainty, long hours, and potential failure, entrepreneurship allows one to pursue opportunities regardless of current resources. Successful entrepreneurs develop business models, acquire necessary human and other resources, and are responsible for business success or failure. The document also outlines common business model components like value propositions, key resources, customer segments, revenue streams, and provides examples of famous entrepreneurs.
As the leading entrepreneurship development organization for entrepreneurs in the creative industries, the Creative Startups team has built a curriculum that enables entrepreneurs to build sustainable high growth companies. The key to this process is creative thinking and proper planning. Too many teams fail due to lack of innovation, not knowing your customer/market, or gaps in the team knowledge.
In this workshop, participants will learn new creative tools to better understand their customers pain and delight in their product. With creative thinking, participants will be better prepared to avoid pitfalls down the road, as well as have the skills to recover from challenges.

I'm a design strategist and this is how I'll change the world.Justina Ojom

Entrepreneur Mike Hooven emphasizes that innovations must focus on high-value markets and require the right talent to succeed. Micah Zender of Start Something Bold agrees that successful innovations solve customer problems. Zender categorizes innovations as reactive, incremental, transformative, or pioneering, with the latter being the most difficult but also giving birth to new industries. True innovations understand people's needs rather than just developing new products.

It then discusses what success looks like, noting that 70% of Australia's top 100 companies from 1990 are no longer in the top 100. The document contrasts innovation, invention, ingenuity, and being innovative or inventive. It presents a model for innovation with three roles: seeing, thinking, and doing. It discusses different eras of innovation from brainstorming to thinking different to working different. Finally, it argues for creating success through connectedness and helping people realize their potential rather than just thinking differently.

This panel will include three perspectives who will inform and inspire conference participants to rethink, re-envision and redesign a culture that produces inclusive innovation and radically inclusive voice design. In our fast-approaching “voice-first” world, are all voices being included in product design for, well, all voices, including those who are non-verbal? Attendees will be invited to consider their current inclusion strategies (are they strong or non-existent?). More so, they’ll learn how to discover and expose innovation blind spots based on implicit bias, and to imagine and implement new practices to build more inclusive, innovative voice products and services.
Participants will leave empowered to use their own voice to better include all voices in their companies and products, because as E.A.T. artist and world-renowned beatboxer Harry Yeff states, “As our voices grow, we grow.” As all voices are embraced in voice product design, our companies can grow too.

The kick inside: The entrepreneurial mindsetMartin Kupp
The key elements that keep established companies from being more entrepreneurial are division of labor, missing metrics and a dominant culture focused on execution. These slides try to transport some of my learning from working with many large incumbents, mainly from B2B industries.
This document discusses social innovation and the innovation process. It emphasizes that true innovation starts by understanding the problem, not by having an idea for a solution. The innovation process involves learning about the problem through research, developing small-scale solutions, testing them, and refining until a solution is found that solves the right problem and that users love. An example is provided of using voice messages to convey important health information to new mothers, which was tested and found to be an effective solution that mothers were satisfied with and willing to pay for.

Here you get the latest of my presentations where I share messages such as:
“We need to rethink the term “innovation” and we should drop the term “innovation culture” entirely.”
“Four global megatrends drive business today: Everything moves faster, everything will be connected, knowledge is transparent and disruption hits harder and faster.”
“Getting ideas and working with them in the early stages is the easier part. The execution is what really matters. We have begun the transition phase.”
“The role of the CTO has changed as real value creation no longer is centered around technology or product itself. Services, processes and business models are key. The internal power needs to shift.”
“Disruption hits much harder and much faster than ever before. You can’t plan for disruptive or radical innovation, but you can be sure you will be disrupted.”
“Don’t talk about innovation. Focus on how you can transform your company based on values, assets, partners, threats and opportunities.”
“The organizational structures need to change. They are not build for the upcoming challenges and opportunities and we need to experiment much more on what will work the best for the future of business.”
“Strong organizations do four things very well: They listen, adapt, experiment and execute better than their competitors.”
“There is no digital strategy. Just strategy in a digital world.”
“If you want to change the perception inside your organization, the outside voice is the most important.”
“People first, processes next, then ideas. The key for execution is people – don´t focus too much on ideas and projects.”
“Discovery – Incubation – Acceleration: Have the right people for the right project at the right time in the right context. Build people pools, not just project pools.”
“Strong change teams know they can´t do it by themselves; they become facilitators and integrators. Education is a key objective.”
…and a short story that I really like:
“A CFO is wary about investing in the training and education of the employees.
He asks the CEO: ”What happens if we invest in developing our people and then they leave our company?”
The CEO is a bright person and replies: ”What happens if we don’t and they stay?”

The document outlines 7 things crowdsourcing companies still need to do to improve, along with 3 predictions for the future. The 7 things are: 1) consolidate by joining forces with peers, 2) innovate business models and value propositions, 3) take responsibility for crowd compensation models, 4) encourage broader adoption, 5) focus efforts on delivering value, 6) move beyond just collecting big data to achieving measurable results, and 7) think bigger with bold ideas rather than more platforms. The 3 predictions are that companies will break out or fail, new intelligence mechanisms will replace just collecting big data, and commerce will be the next step after content and community development.
Learning About At-Risk Veterans Using Online Network SurveysSean Taylor
We propose a solution for discovering at-risk veterans using online network surveys. Our approach combines
1) Facebook ad targeting for efficient recruitment of veterans and friends of veterans with 2) a survey that asks about veteran friends and acquaintances we can analyze using a network "scale-up" methodology. We accessed 400 respondents in 4 hours using only $240 (60 cents per respondent) and found preliminary evidence for self-reporting bias for PTSD.

This document discusses common limitations that arise when working with large datasets, or "big data". It outlines four main limitations: 1) Measuring the wrong thing if the available data does not directly measure the variable of interest. 2) Biased samples if the data is not representative of the target population. 3) Dependence if observations are not independent due to repeated measurements. 4) Uncommon support if qualifying cases that satisfy criteria like matching are rare in the data. For each limitation, common patterns are described and opportunities for addressing the issues through better measurement, modeling, or experimental design are presented. The conclusion emphasizes that generating high quality data is better than relying on convenience data alone, and there are research opportunities in overcoming limitations
The document discusses putting "magic" into data science. It provides several tricks or techniques for data science, including collecting novel data sources, dimensionality reduction, Bayesian methods, bootstrapping statistics, and matrix factorizations. It also emphasizes the importance of reliability, latency/interactivity, simplicity/modularity, and unexpectedness to solve the "last mile" problem of getting people to actually use data science tools and models. Specific Facebook tools like Planout, Deltoid, ClustR, Prophet, and Hive/Presto/Scuba are presented as examples.

Industrial engineering education could be strengthened by incorporating systems thinking concepts, methodologies, and techniques. An industrial engineer who views an organization holistically as a system of interdependent components, and helps others do the same, has great potential to understand what drives organizational behavior and avoid sub-optimizing parts at the expense of the whole. Traditional IE tools combined with recognizing interdependencies allow insights beyond optimizing individual aspects in a way that adversely impacts others.
