Big organizations have a significant issue with understanding new, creative, innovative and they have a hard time to adapt. Hence, they should look into the ways how to accept and embrace the “new reality”, and that sometimes require that we have a brand new, different approach
Is Design Thinking important? We think it is - it’s one of our 8 building blocks for digital transformation. But what it is it, and why? In the run up to the Global Legal Hackathon, we thought we’d distil our workshop slides and ideas with an associated blog post to explain it.
Let’s set the scene with five quotes from experts and artists you will recognise explaining what design really is:
"The ultimate defense against complexity” - David Gelernter, Professor of Computer Science, Yale
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” - Leonardo da Vinci
"Design is a way of changing life and influencing the future” - Sir Ernest Hall. Pianist, Entrepreneur, and Philanthropist
“Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People think it’s this veneer - that the designers are handed this box and told, ‘Make it look good!’ That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” - Steve Jobs
“Design-thinking firms stand apart in their willingness to engage in the task of continuously redesigning their business… to create advances in both innovation and efficiency - the combination that produces the most powerful competitive edge.” - Roger Martin, author of the Design of Business
On August 7th and 8th 2010, The Loft in London/Soho hosted an unprecedented innovative workshop: the first 24hr non-stop Thinking Hotel business model prototyping workshop.

LaFutura Shanghai | Conference Program PreviewCécile Cremer
La Futura was founded 2010 in Berlin by leading trendspotters from Europe, America and Asia. With many global and local events La Futura is the central trend intelligence network to bridge the gap between trends, innovation and tomorrow‘s opportunities. La Futura connects experts from all industries to the finest business trend network.
La Futura goes Shanghai!
Shanghai, one of the biggest cities of the People’s Republic of China, a city that never sits down. Shanghai is not only the finance center of the World, but it also has the World’s busiest container port. The vibrant heart of an impressive country, a heart that has more than once been called “World’s most happening City”.
Enthusiasm is what a good idea deserves in the first place – and not the question “What do you mean by that?”
Behind every idea, success is waiting. Therefore, the scientific and economic discussion about ideas, their efficient generation and exploitation remains highly important. But: initially, the quality of an idea is not measured in terms of its content – rather, the point is for it to be appreciated as such in the first place. Before the evaluation of an idea comes the idea’s identification as an idea!
Understanding the idea develops the ability to evaluate it or modify it into a still better idea. Misunderstood ideas, however, are always lost potential – sad for the persons having them and hopeless for those needing them. For businesses, both cases can be economically disastrous.
What is surprising is the fact that neither scientific nor practically oriented research offer any relevant statements, research work or methods for semantically optimizing
ideas. With the development of the “d’Artagnan Principle”, this significant gap is now filled and methodically closed.

Thoughts on open innovation sandro morghen yutongoSandro Morghen
English version of my observations and conclusions on Open Innovation.
Presented at Hochschule Lucerne, Switzerland on Ocotober 3rd, 2012.
Interesting questions from students were:
Question: Why do you pay innovators for their time/effort rather than to follow the winner takes it all approach? What if people performe weak in a process?
Answer: Because in our process it is not possible to allocate one single author to an idea. The creative content is based on our process setup, a collective result. This is why we pay everybody equally. We don't see Innovation as a game/contest, we see it rather as a form of crowd labour. Being is hard work and it doesn't take a genius. Based on the fact that all innovators answer a whole set of subquestions throughout the process, we can diffuse the risk of receiving bad content from one person. After all, it's just not fair. In our tests we weren't facing quality issues, but of course, had to deal with people who were trying to misuse the system. However, this issue remains manageable with our platform and approach. In our tests we measured about 5% of participants who tried to add random/sabotage content. We are very convinced that we can bring this number with the right quality management tools.
>>>
Question: Are you already online?
Answer: We have a functional prototype which is online but we are going to take it down as we are finalizing our commercial version of yutongo.
>>>
Question: Are you giving support to customers with setting up a project?
Answer: Not in a consulting sense. But the app is based on a step-by-step process and we put all our strength and own creativity in reducing complexitiy and the self explanatory character of the website. You shouldn't be an expert to setup a project with yutongo.

And a bunch of more questions I unfortunately can't remember. Thanks Hochschule Lucerne for having me and for asking questions. Asking question is very good advisor if you are planning to be creative. Creativity starts with asking the right questions!

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
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.

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

“The creative people - the ones

magic.” Hegarty
