The document discusses tools and methods for engaging the public in innovative decision-making to support sustainable communities. It describes challenges such as some members of the public being unaware, busy, blocked, excluded, apathetic, doubtful or opposed. Solutions include sharing information and being transparent, using multiple communication channels, asset mapping, understanding tradeoffs, brainstorming solutions, and celebrating successes. The PlaceMatters Decision Lab provides cost-effective and politically viable solutions grounded in democracy and sustainability principles using tools like surveys, mapping, scenario analysis and civic engagement activities to gather public input.
Outlines common problems with how communities do public participation and how to draw from innovative teaching methods to get more meaningful and constructive involvement.
Immersive Analytics is an approach to collaborative analytics that integrates analytical methodologies within a persistent virtual world. The challenge is to design 3D information metaphors supporting key aspects of typical business processes. This talk demonstrates live examples of these metaphors like Sankey, chord, and sigma visualizations, all of which are generated by a popular BI tool (Qlik Sense) with path analysis by Teradata Aster. These initial results present the foundation for a long-term initiative to radically rethink the collaborative possibilities throughout the entire information value chain.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Editor's Notes

The Decision Lab focuses on using tools and technology to improve decision making around planning and sustainability\nIt seeks to develop tools and techniques that a) help citizens directly engage with decision makers, and b) also assist these decision makers in making more informed decisions based on data and citizen input.\nBy building an open technology infrastructure (open source repository, community network, APIs, etc.), the Lab will support the larger community of people doing this work\n

This slide, I would never use in front of general audience, there way too much going on. About once a year I work on simplifying it -- reducing it down to its core essence. \n\nIn a nutshell it illustrates the iterative nature of community and regional scale decision making and how public participation, at different stages, should be integrated with brainstorming, prioritization, visualization, and scenario planning tools. \n\nThe main desired output that should emerge from the public and stakeholder process is “cost-effective and politically viable action steps with public buy-in.\n\nThis should directly influence System Operations with the community and region. \n\nOn the left you have the “givens” -- the environmental conditions, cultural and economic assets of the community (as well as challenges). These conditions are also the building blocks of what one might call the character or soul of the community. \n\nAlso “given” are principles of sustainable development (are they given?) \n

PlaceMatters seeks to fundamentally change the way community and land use planning is done such that planning effectively engages citizens and decision makers in transparent processes which lead to a sustainable and collectively envisioned future.\n

In Denver, PlaceMatters is working with the School District and A+ to engage residents in areas with poor performing schools in a conversation about turn-around strategies. A concerted effort was put into reaching out to the hispanic community to make sure they had voice in the process. All meetings have been conducted with simultaneous translation and all information displayed on the screens in both languages. Our Brainstorm Anywhere tool allows multiple tables to brainstorm on ideas at the same time , prioritize lists, and vote with handheld keypads (virtual participation is also possible with webcasts, computers, and cell phone voting). The set up makes it possible to quickly translate conversations in one language to the other and have all participants discussing same ideas. \n
