What is positive psychology. How and why should you implement positive psychology based interventions in the workplace. Discover here how these contribute to employee well-being. These slides were the basis for the discussion at the Metal Health and Well-being Seminar hosted by The Conference Board.
As I watch my organization within the last 4yrs of its existence, I have seen innovation leading disruptive changes and giving us big leaps in our earlier days, only to see Bureaucracy emerging to water down these growths. I am forced to confront both experiences, as I lead my team into a new growth trajectory.
In Agile we like to deliver valuable software to our customers on a regular basis. However, while it’s pretty clear what “software” means, we cannot really say the same about “valuable”.
The definition of Value in a project (with an uppercase “V”) is frequently fuzzy and confused. Even within the same project, asking different stakeholders what Value means to them produces different answers; and the same stakeholder will likely provide different definitions of Value, depending on their perception and role in the project.
Most stakeholders will naturally associate Value to money, sometimes through surprisingly creative correlations; but there are other dimensions, equally valid, such as strategic positioning, company image, innovation and learning, and so forth.
Understanding the multidimensional nature of Value becomes therefore critical to drive the project to success. In this talk we’ll address what Value means in Agile for different stakeholders; how to map and categorize the stakeholders; how to describe Value on different dimension and how to track it. We’ll also see what happens when we don’t do that.
Also, assuming different stakeholders on the same project have different and multifaceted perceptions of Value, how can we coordinate the production effort in a balanced way? Which kind of corporate culture and corporate values (plural) support that?

Architecting Your UX Career – Presentation Tips to Land your Next UX GigHeather Young, CUA
Approaching a job search can be a daunting task for any professional, but the UX world has a unique set of challenges. Our field is still relatively new, job titles and responsibilities are fuzzy, and there are varying understandings of what we can and should provide. There is no one clear path or set of experience that sets us up for success. Artifacts are often collaborative, covered by NDAs, and it can be hard to capture the many facets of UX expertise into a small set of documents. So how do we navigate the world of resume-writing, portfolio-creation, and interviewing to find a job that will be the best fit for the skills we currently have and allow us to grow into the practitioner we want to become? Get the inside scoop from a current UX consultant and UX Community Manager, both of whom are experienced with vetting UX talent.

When it comes to strategy, business mirrors a war zone. CSOs and strategy consultants are the generals, and in order to know how to act, they need to collect information from every sector of their organizations. The problem is: how can they do so effectively, when every sector of a business communicates with its own signals? Leaders today need to be able to collect information quickly and without bias, but they also need depth, validity, and repeatability. Here we discuss methods for ensuring that comprehensive data is collected and connected in a way that results in meaningful organizational intelligence.

Organizational Agility for Sustainable Competitive Advantage in VUCASeta Wicaksana
An Organization has an SCA when it is able to generate more customer value than competitive firms in its industry for the same set of products and service categories and when these other firms are unable to duplicate its effective strategy
At present, the pace of change feels relentless – new technology has changed our working lives beyond recognition and disrupted whole industries.
Many of us like to think that change is rare - we feel like it should be a one-off event, with a beginning and an end. The reality is that change is a constant state - nothing stays the same forever. If this seems daunting, agility is our friend.

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. How do you
maintain relevance
and plan for the
unknown?
• Successful Orgs are not just effective today,
they are building new traits or senses
for the future
• Which is more important?
The destination or the journey?
7. The business
of the future
is human
• Strip-away anything that doesn’t
support the needs of customers,
employees, shareholders, everyone.
• Customer centricity is not
a ‘Snap-shot’ - it’s a live-stream
8. Which human need
are you meeting?
• Everyone is Ideating these days
• But before you Ideate solutions,
you must identify the real need.
• Students at the Stanford d. school were challenged
to design a less expensive incubator for babies
born prematurely in Nepal.
11. The business
of the future
is connected
The more connected your business is,
the more quickly it can absorb information
And profit from the economics of connections
12. Moment
of Intent
“VR commerce and machine-learning
algorithms allow us to help merchants
respond to subtle physical gestures
at the exact moment when shoppers
are most likely to make purchases.”

Officer, Meliá Hotels
International
15. The business of the
future is insight-driven
• Ingests a wide variety of data
• Can Think, decide & do
• Encapsulates IP into a reusable form
• Industrialises & distributes everywhere
• Understand & manipulate data
• Encodes its knowledge as it goes
• Shares to increase value
16. Gain Better
Insight
“The trick is to help people see how their data helps your
business improve their quality of life. For example, when
you explain that their anonymised details can help
researchers find cures to serious illnesses the benefits
become much more tangible”
- Nina Monckton, Chief Insight Officer at the NHS
NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) recently
found insights in its data that have helped it improve
patient care and uncover £580 million in savings.
18. The business of
the future must
be autonomous
• The ability to apply data to algorithms,
in a way that packages your insight and
capability
• Can be directed at low-value work
(e.g. data processing)
• Autonomous gives scale & reduces cost.
But can also augment the human –
by pushing them up in the value chain
19. Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level 5 Level 6
