The community-wide appreciative strategic planning initiative was designed around a positive inquiry approach that focuses on identifying strengths and opportunities to build commitment and momentum for change. It is based on the direct involvement of a broad representation of stakeholders and encourages participants to co-create the future of their organizations through collaboration, shared understanding and a commitment to actions. Usually the change that results from such process targets the implementation of short term and long-term strategic actions.

Finding a Foothold: How Nonprofit News Ventures Seek SustainabilityKnight Foundation
A new report offers an in-depth view into the nonprofit news industry, revealing the significant progress that news organizations have made toward sustainability and the challenges they still face. The report, “Finding a Foothold: How Nonprofit News Ventures Seek Sustainability,” provides data and analysis on 18 nonprofit news organizations between 2010 and 2012.
A follow-up to the 2011 Knight study, “Getting Local: How Nonprofit News Ventures Seek Sustainability,” the new report takes a deeper look, expanding the number of nonprofit sites included in the research. It also broadens the focus of the study from just local, to state and national organizations. Find out more at www.knightfoundation.org/features/nonprofitnews.
This is the "digital artifact" created in fulfillment of the core assignment for the World Bank's Coursera MOOC entitled "Citizen Engagement: A Game Changer for Development?" (https://www.coursera.org/course/engagecitizen) An exceptionally substantive, well-organized and genuinely international course I am very glad to have been one of the 16000 people world-wide taking it.
My project, while an exercise, is also a main focus of my current work and a project I plan to implement, Inshallah!

Organisational Change Through Social MediaDarren Sharp
This presentation by Darren Sharp, senior consultant at Collabforge (www.colabforge.com) was delivered to the Australian Council for Private Education & Training 2009 National Conference held in Canberra 27 - 30 August. This presentation explores strategies for encouraging organisational change via social media. It examines how social networks allow users to form communities of interest and practice; how organisational change is critical in a world of user-generated content and social-media; using Web 2.0 tools to influence organisational change and how peer-to-peer reviews, search engines and social networks will effect private education.
Change is everywhere. Technology has accelerated the change. Government needs to adapt its thinking and strategy to these new realities. This document is primer to decision makers to trigger their thinking in that direction. The future of Government is Open, Collaborative and Social.

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
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
