The document discusses using social technology to drive collaboration and productivity in organizations. It aims to improve communication, foster innovation, break down silos, facilitate learning, discover people, products and content, manage information, and collaborate on projects. Some common reasons for social tools failing include lack of social culture, public participation, training, executive support and willingness. It provides indicators that change is needed and outlines a 5 step process: conducting an internal and external audit, forming a social media team, establishing a strategy, selecting tools, providing team training, and launching a pilot project. Finally, it discusses potential rewards and provides 3 case studies as examples.

Realism, heroism, bravery, boldness or cowardiceAgha A
'Heroism' and 'realism', 'bravery' or 'cowardice' are powerful words pregnant with multiple meanings and thus often misunderstood in common discussion. This is not exactly an article but a cursory examination of how certain individuals in various stages of world history made remarkable achievements by being 'Heroic' 'Realistic' etc.
The 'Hero' is a man who does not surrender in face of overwhelming odds and thus emerges 'victorious' or is perceived by posterity to have been morally victorious despite having been physically destroyed.
Khalid Bin Waleed, Napoleon, Alexander, Churchill etc may be grouped in the first cate-gory and Joan of Arc, Syed Ahmad Shaheed may be grouped in the latter category. All these men did well and are even today well known figures in history.
We will first examine the issue in relation with the fact 'Whether the hero had an exact knowledge and sufficient time' to assess decisions that he made and which ultimately elevated him to the pedestal of a hero in history! This is important but very often forgotten or not understood at all by many. We will take the 'Rebels' or the 'Freedom Fighters' of 1857 as an example. All existing facts as we know them today prove that these 'Rebels' never really understood the real power and potential of the English East India Company.

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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
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. Objective
Leveraging technology to create a
social layer that spans an entire
organization, pulling together
relevant people, content and systems
of record to increase collaboration
and productivity.
3. Goals
1. Improve communication
2. Foster innovation
3. Break-down silos
4. Facilitate learning
5. Discover people, products & content
6. Manage information
7. Collaborate on projects
5. 1. Lack of Social Culture
1. Your department needs to start with a
fundamentally communicative culture, one
where open sharing and collaboration is
encouraged.
2. Examine corporate culture first and create a
more receptive environment for internal
social tools.
6. 2. Lack of Public Participation
1. Getting people to use new technology is
often a tough sell, and requires
perseverance.
2. The flip side of this is that you may see more
immediate adoption from team members
who are already social media enthusiasts.
3. Identify team members who use social tools
to communicate outside of work and enlist
them first.
7. 3. Lack of Training
1. Without proper training, those who aren’t as
familiar with social networking may feel left out
or even overwhelmed.
2. First re-examine how your team works, how
they communicate and how to appropriately use
the new social tools to enhance work and
communications.
3. Provide written guidelines and training across
the board, regardless of social media skills, to
ensure everyone knows what is expected of
them.
8. 4. Lack of Executive Support
1. Executives often want to dive into social
media, but without getting everyone on
board.
2. On other hand, executives are often too
focused on ROI, and are hesitant to try new
tools.
3. Right metrics have to be used to measure
effectiveness of new tools and procedures.
9. 5. Lack of Willingness
1. Make sure the parameters you set up for
internal use of social media tools are based
on encouraging professional
exchanges, expanding internal knowledge
bases, increasing collaboration, and helping
to improve communications.
2. Be respectful of individuals who may not
want to be so personal in a professional
setting.
11. 1. People within a department are spending too
much time trying to communicate changes
and updates.
2. People within a department are not as
informed as they need to be.
3. Created content is not used.
4. KPIs are not performing as they could be, as
people are unable to keep pace with
changes, and are bogged down by e-mail.
12. 5. It is hard to locate needed expertise.
6. Opportunities are missed because people
lack awareness of what's going on around
them.
7. It takes a long time to onboard new
employees because of "tribal knowledge.”
8. Employees have little means to get to know
anyone who is outside of their department
or physical space.

5. Refine your approach.
22. 1. KPIs that are effected by formal processes
across multiple departments are improved.
2. People involved in cross-department projects
are more efficient; they have more time for
thoughtful, value-added work vs. spending
time trying to coordinate with each other.
3. Work output is more timely; problems are
addressed as they occur.
4. Content is accessible and reused.
23. 5. People across the organization can easily
locate expertise needed to inform their
projects and decisions.
6. People across departments can recognize
and take advantage of opportunities, quickly
and on their own initiative.
7. New employees are onboarded quickly.
8. Employees know each other and have a
stronger commitment to their co-workers.
25. Challenge: Supply chain company who’s employees
in North America, Europe and Asia need to have
access to information about complex processes.
Solution: “The Grid”, social intranet where
employees share and update best
practices, technical product knowledge and key
sales & marketing materials.
Benefits: GT Nexus serves customers more
efficiently, responds to change faster, and captures
valuable institutional knowledge.
26. Challenge: Accountants are constantly asked the
same questions, but their answers are not shared
internally and are not being reused.
Solution: Multi-user blog dedicated to sharing
answers to the FAQ.
Benefits: Streamline the process of answering client
questions, shortening the response time and ability
to constantly perfect answers.
27. Challenge: Manage customer service section of the
website, timely respond to questions, and establish
a sense of community.
Solution: Build a private WIKI allowing users to
answer questions, post valuable content, and
connect with each other.
Benefits: 46% of questions are answered by other
users, rather than by members of NI’s staff. Each of
those calls would likely cost at least $10 if NI had to
answer them themselves.
