The city of Islamabad is beautiful but also ruthless, full of intrigue and deception. While the author loves the city, they also hate it for its cold-blooded politics. Since 1988, there has been constant political instability, with leaders overthrown by the military or exiled. The two most promising leaders for democracy, Benazir Bhutto and her husband, were both assassinated. The long struggle for an independent judiciary and rule of law prevailed when the Prime Minister announced judges would be reinstated after negotiations. This victory shows how democracy can succeed through reconciliation rather than confrontation.

Nortel, a Canadian telephone equipment maker, filed for bankruptcy protection in January 2009 due to structural issues exacerbated by the financial crisis. While recessions impact companies with pre-existing problems, the primary cause of Nortel's bankruptcy was its inability to keep up with the rapid pace of digital technology development. Moore's Law, which observed that digital capabilities double every 18 months, created a relentless cycle of innovation that Nortel could not sustain. Despite early investments in digital technology, Nortel failed to integrate acquisitions and transform its business model to adapt to the digital shift in the industry. As competitors continued advancing technology, Nortel was left behind, leading to bankruptcy.
The document discusses using feature points for agile release planning. It defines feature points and how they can be used to estimate user stories, features, and epics at different levels of a project. The key points are: feature points provide relative estimates independent of time units; epics are estimated by POs and architects, features by team leads, and stories by scrum teams; velocity is tracked in feature points to predict sprint and release completion; and principles for agile estimation emphasize basing estimates on facts, estimating often and small chunks, and communicating assumptions.

Coding is the new literacy to make a difference in the worldmcd_boulanger
The document discusses the importance of teaching coding to children from an early age. It notes that many everyday objects are made possible through code, yet most people do not know how to read and write code. The author advocates starting to teach coding in kindergarten, as it can be presented as play at that age. By starting early and making it fun, children can build positive attitudes towards coding rather than negative stereotypes. The document provides several examples of class projects the author's students have worked on to learn coding, such as creating audio books and videos about environmental issues. It emphasizes that coding can be taught to students of all backgrounds and that many resources are available online to learn coding for free.

Specific sanctions programs involving Burma, Libya, Syria, and Sudan are also briefly outlined.
Gathering and defining software requirements is difficult. One Agile technique to help address this challenge is writing user stories, which are short descriptions of functions that an end-user would want. While user stories help convert concepts into functions, writing good user stories is easier said than done.
What you’ll learn in this presentation:
• The basics of user stories.
• How user stories fit into the overall Agile planning process.
• How to write a user story.
The document discusses the different levels of planning in Agile development: release planning, iteration planning, and task planning. It provides details on each level, including who is involved, how to define a release plan, estimating velocity, common problems and solutions, and examples. The key aspects covered are the differences between releases and iterations, estimating at each level, and breaking down stories into tasks.
Understanding the Agile Release and Sprint Planning Process John Derrico
The document discusses Agile planning processes. Release planning occurs before each release and involves the product owner, Scrum team, and stakeholders prioritizing features and setting release dates. Sprint planning occurs before each sprint and involves the Scrum team and product owner selecting stories for the sprint from the prioritized backlog, estimating work, and establishing a plan. The document provides details on participants, timing, objectives, inputs, and outputs for both release and sprint planning meetings in Agile. It also notes that estimations may be inaccurate initially but will improve over time as teams gain experience.

Eine zunehmend globalere Wirtschaft braucht eine internationale Plattform zum kreativen Austausch. Genau das bietet das Weltwirtschaftsforum seiner Community. Wie dieser Erfahrungsaustausch im einzelnen funktioniert zeigt André Schneider in seiner Präsentation.
The document discusses youth unemployment in Europe. It notes that 5.7 million young Europeans are unemployed, with rates as high as 23.5% for those under 25 in some countries. Several causes of youth unemployment are proposed, including the economic crisis, companies' reluctance to hire inexperienced workers, and increased industrialization and automation. Suggested solutions include creating more jobs, encouraging entrepreneurship, tailoring education to companies' needs, and teaching job search skills. The document proposes a project to test these solutions that would take 6 months to implement and 5-10 years to measure its full effects, hoping to ultimately help 5% of unemployed youth.

This document discusses the need to move from an outdated techno-market era to a new socio-ecological era through social innovation. It argues that current ways of perceiving, interacting, and doing business no longer work and that an evolutionary leap is needed. New models of development are needed that value social and environmental welfare over just economic growth. The document advocates distributing innovation, design, strategy, and complexity rather than centralizing them. It presents examples of companies like Google, Goretex, and HCL that are experimenting with new organizational structures. Social innovation is positioned as a big opportunity that can democratize the future if companies embrace complexity, distribute creativity and power, and decentralize their functions.
Gender Equality Summit workshop at the Open World Forum 2010Rayna Stamboliyska
My initial dive in what I call 'diversity-as-a-dependency' need in tech (with a focus on Free/Libre and Open Source Software - FLOSS - communities here but it applies to tech and STEM). The bottom line is to start considering underrepresented groups as minorities rather than gender/racialise them. The workshop aimed at bootstrapping an international working group that addresses both communities and companies in tech.

The new leadership paradigm Richard Barrett and Ashley MundayBarrett Academy
The document discusses the need for a new leadership paradigm to address global challenges. It argues that the current paradigm of separating the world into public, private and social sectors creates barriers and that leaders need to work together across these sectors. The new paradigm requires a shift from self-interest to the common good and being the best for the world, not just the best in the world. It also discusses how evolution can teach three universal principles and five strategies relevant to this new leadership paradigm.

14. Depuis que Dilma Rousseff a pris ses fonctions en tant
que première femme présidente du Brésil en début
d’année, le rôle des dirigeantes au sein du plus grand pays
d’Amérique Latine est au cœur du débat. Le Brésil a fait
d’importants progrès au cours des dernières années en
termes de mobilité sociale, notamment pour les femmes,
ce qui a permis l’émergence d’une classe moyenne.
Mme Rousseff poursuit les efforts de lutte contre la
pauvreté et fait progresser les réformes en s’attaquant
à la corruption et en nommant un nombre croissant de
femmes à des postes clés du gouvernement. Certains
participants ont toutefois fait part de leurs inquiétudes
concernant l’avancée du consumérisme et l’absence
de préoccupations environnementales de la présidente.
Un intervenant a appelé à la mise en place de mesures
permettant de garantir une plus grande participation des
femmes parmi les élus.
