The People Puzzle: Making the Pieces Fit – MIMA Summit 2014Kerry-Anne Gilowey
Knowledge workers bring far more than just their intellectual skills to a project. They bring their fears, their prejudices, their motivations, their emotional history, and their personalities to the table too. At kick-off meetings we openly discuss our roles and skill sets, but these other intangible things are never exposed.
Yet the way that stakeholders and team members interact with one another is almost certain to have a greater impact on the success of your project than which technology platform you choose or what goes into your style guide.
I gave this talk at MIMA Summit 2014 in Minneapolis.
At the end of each calendar year, between Christmas and New Year, I sit down and spend a full day without distraction taking stock of the year that was and looking toward the year that will be. I have been doing this for almost 2 decades now and find the return-on-investment to be phenomenal. See more at: http://orrenprunckun.com

Write a paper listing your own personal ethical ten commandments.
1. Thou shall not devote my life to chasing money and high social status but rather in pursuit of purpose through service to mankind: Purpose is more important than money or any material possessions (Zsolnai, 2011). This is important because fulfilment in life is my topmost priority and it can only be achieved by living purposefully and not from external possessions.
2. Thou shall treat me and every individual with love and care: The virtues of love and care are on top of my virtue list and this is because they are the greatest enablers for me to provide service to humanity.
3. Thou shall not conform to negative social trends: This means that morality is still a great value to me in a world where a lot of moral values have been lost. It is important to me because I feel the need to be a positive role model for other young individuals.
4. I will ensure that work is done with utmost integrity: This means having good moral judgment and it is important to me since it is one way of showing value for relationships and care for others.
5. Thou shall be accommodative of personal differences in day to day interactions: People are different in aspects like personality and it is wrong to dismiss others on the basis of personal differences. This is important to me because I like it when people are themselves and it is only through accommodation that we can relate to and still maintain individuality.
6. I will hold truthfulness and honesty close to my heart and practice it in my day to day interactions: Deception is prohibited for me because it is the basis of healthy interactions.
7. Every individual should be treated as though they are valuable: This means seeing the good in people. This is important because without seeing the good in people there is no way they can add any value.
8. Thou shall be considerate of the consequences of any action to self and others: This means that I will consider the costs and benefits of my actions before doing. This is important to me in ensuring that I promote good not only for myself but also for others.
9. I will ensure that I do not betray the trust that others have in me: I will remain trustworthy and this is important because it is impossible to form any healthy relationships without trust.
10. To always hold others and their properties with utmost respect: This means that I will duly regard others as well as their property (Gill, 2009), and this is important to me because I attract the same kind of respect which I like.

Putting Together the People Puzzle – Content Strategy Summit 2014Kerry-Anne Gilowey
Knowledge workers bring far more than just their intellectual skills to a project. They bring their fears, their prejudices, their motivations, their emotional history, and their personalities to the table too. At kick-off meetings we openly discuss our roles and skill sets, but these other intangible things are never exposed.
This document discusses how employee engagement drives customer loyalty and strong teamwork. It describes that deeply engaged employees are proactive problem solvers who collaborate well. To improve collaboration, the document advises understanding different behavioral styles on teams, including talkers, doers, controllers, and supporters. It provides characteristics and best practices for communicating with each style. Adapting to different styles strengthens teamwork and better serves customers, building true customer loyalty.
The document provides tips on how to build an effective social network. It discusses the importance of networking for career and business development. Some key points include:
- Networking allows you to gain access to new opportunities and help others in your network.
- Successful people actively cultivate relationships and make networking a regular part of their routine.
- Introverts can be effective networkers by focusing on helping others through questions and active listening.
- Building a large network over a lifetime that is nurtured and maintained can be worth millions of dollars in opportunities and support.
The document discusses the importance of corporate culture and the role of consultants in diagnosing and changing culture. It outlines 10 key skills needed for effective consulting: humor, influence, confidence, fearlessness, rapid framing, value generation, intellect, active listening, instantiation, and responsiveness. The document also introduces the Denison model for diagnosing and designing corporate culture to improve profitability through cultural alignment, clear priorities, and concrete steps toward goals.
The document discusses the increasing prominence of integrated care in health policy documents over time, with references to integration increasing at a rate of 78% per year. While integration is increasingly emphasized, there is no national data showing whether it is actually improving quality of care experienced by individuals. To make integrated care more than just a "pipe dream", the document argues that interventions to support integration must address issues of context, like funding and work stress, through approaches that bring together data, workforce capability, and management across services.
This document summarizes a debate about the role of the voluntary sector in health and social care. It discusses how the voluntary sector can help move towards a new era of partnership between health and social care. While integrating health and social care seems logical, cultural and structural barriers have prevented it from happening. The voluntary sector is well-positioned to play a big role because charities consider the whole person and all their needs, not just medical issues. The document also examines specific areas where more work is needed, such as how the health service can better partner with charities, how charities can save the health service money through prevention and addressing social determinants of health, and how charities can influence and create systems change within health care
The document discusses Age UK's Integrated Care Programme, which aims to provide better and lower-cost care for older people. It outlines key barriers to integrated care in England, such as political and organizational challenges. Age UK's programme provides holistic care coordination led by volunteers to help reduce dependency and isolation. It serves as a critical friend to support service redesign and has shown success in locations like Cornwall. Important aspects of the program include data analysis, whole system working, personalization, and non-medical support to help older adults remain independent.
New models of healthcare, Oliver Wyman at For Later Life 2014Age UK
This document discusses establishing an Extensivist model of care to coordinate care for high-cost, high-need patients. It describes how an Extensivist clinic would function, with an Extensivist leading a care team to provide integrated care for patients' medical, behavioral and social needs. It also outlines challenges in implementing this model, such as gaining hospital privileges, changing patient behaviors, and developing new capabilities. The goal is to improve outcomes and lower costs through coordinated, preventative and patient-centered care for the most complex patients.
Dignity, malnutrition and comfort in later life, Anne Holdoway at For Later L...Age UK
This document discusses nutrition and well-being in later life. It notes that malnutrition increases sharply after age 70 and older adults account for most malnutrition in hospitals. Good nutrition can help manage chronic disease and weight, while undernutrition increases disease risk and negatively impacts mood and quality of life. Specific nutrients like vitamins and fatty acids affect well-being and cognition. Towards the end of life, the document questions whether individual needs and preferences of older adults are adequately considered regarding food, which can impact dignity, anxiety and quality of life.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
