So, Now You're An Agilist, What's Next?Jurgen Appelo
Doing projects better doesn't stop at agile. In this presentation I attempt to distill new advances in software development from the field of complexity science.
Complexity science is the study of complex systems, like ecosystems, biological systems, economic systems, etc. "Complexity science" is the scientific approach to "systems thinking". It can be used to understand and explain why complex systems behave the way they do. Ken Schwaber, Jim Highsmith and other experts have explained in their books that a lot of agile concepts have been copied from the study of complex systems. However, agile software development has not covered all there is to learn.
I will show why practices must be agile (self-organized) *and* formal (controlled), why any software development method is doomed to fail, why managing scope is a too simplistic interpretation of the principle of “embracing change”, why most process improvement initiatives are linear and wrong, and why some sets of practices will be show chaotic behavior when combined.
Building Companies to Last
In a world of constant change, the fundamentals are more important than ever. We certainly need new and improved business practices and organizational forms, but in a turbulent era, attention to timeless fundamentals is even more important than it is in stable times. Timeless fundamentals that follow, you can learn from what those organizations did right and build your own visionary company.
Presenter: June Holley, Network Weaver
Topic: Are You A Network Weaver?
Date: Tuesday, August 23rd 11:00-12:00 Noon PDT (2:00-3:00PM EDT)
This interactive session will introduce the term Network Weaver as a way of understanding how leadership is shifting in a networked world. You will have access to a simple checklist so that you can identify your strengths and challenges as a Network Weaver. June will explain four roles -- connector, facilitator, coach and network guardian — filled by Network Weavers and share activities that you can implement with your networks.

A Digital Conversation Meetup, June 2014. The closing presentation of the evening was shared by Adam Sefton.
Talking on the subject of complexity of the Next Web, he suggested instead of worrying about trying to organise and control this world, both digital and offline, we should embrace complexity (unicorns and all) and allow solutions to evolve and emerge naturally.
Adam Sefton is Global Executive Creative Director at Reading Room. He's been working in digital on a variety of levels for over 10 years, the last 6 in senior agency positions. He is excitable, energetic and enthusiastic about the internet, how people like to use it and what might happen to it in the future. He is returning to discuss how the emergent principles and technologies underlying the next iteration of the web should influence organisations digital strategies. What are the challenges and opportunities facing digital decision makers.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

12. THE STARFISH
AND THE
SPIDER
The unstoppable
power of
leaderless
organizations
16. STARFISH AND SPIDERS
SPIDER STARFISH
• Hierarchical • Horizontal Structure
• Clear leaders • Everyone has equal say
• Departments • Can operate sporadically
• Titles • Direct Communication
• Communication is
difficult
26. The CIA is a centralized company;
Al Qaida is an open system.
It does not have central intelligence; the
intelligence is spread throughout the system
(it is made up of largely independent cells)
29. It s a natural reaction,
when attacked, to
adopt a command-and-
control mentality. But
this strategy fails if you
are fighting a starfish
organisation.
30. When attacked, a decentralized
organisation tends to become even MORE
OPEN AND DECENTRALIZED
32. So, what characterizes
a starfish
organisation?
1. Circles (many small
non-hierarchical groups)
2. Catalyst(s)
3. Ideology
4. Preexisting network
33. 1 Starfish
organisations
consist of many
small non-
hierarchical
groups (circles)
34. In the internet era it s much easier
to form and join circles. But because
participants aren t spending every
moment together, their bond isn t
as strong .
AIESEC circles form strong bonds
due to frequent face-to-face
contact.
35. 2 Starfish
organisations are
not run by CEOs;
instead they can
count on CATALYSTS
36. A catalyst
knows that
values
(trust and
understanding)
are a stronger
binding force
than
authority
37. A catalyst is any element or compound
that initiates a reaction without fusing into
that reaction
A catalyst gets a decentralized
organisation going and then cedes
control to the members. In letting go of
the leadership role, the catalyst
transfers ownership and responsibility
to the circle
38. A catalyst is any element or compound
that initiates a reaction without fusing into
that reaction
AIESEC presidents and leaders are
non-hierarchical catalysts
39. 3 Ideology is the GLUE
that holds
decentralized
organisations
together.
What is AIESEC’s ideology / vision?
40. Put people in
an open
system and
they
automatically
want to
contribute
41. However, starfish organisations
spawned by the internet may have
less meaningful ideologies than offline
equivalents.
An Apache would do anything to save
a fellow tribe member. Members of say
Wikipedia aren t going to die for each
other
43. 4 Almost every
decentralized
organization that has
made it big, was
launched from a
Preexisting Platform
44. Be aware that centralized
organisations aren t set up to
launch decentralized movements.
Leaders in top-down organisations
want to control what s happening,
thereby limiting creativity
