Social Media - a Technological or a Societal Change? (2010)Erwin Elling
An introduction to social media, meant to get the focus off of tools and technology. Giving some examples of earlier technology introductions and their effect on society, we think about the changes Social Media bring. We show how the internet has evolved, clarify this with several examples and show the incredible pace of these changes in some videos. All with a little help of Bob Dylan.
Failure is not an option, or, why you need to ask 'Why?" more often.Alessandro Galetto
We should answer a simple question: "Why companies are built and managed in the way we know?".
In this presentation I will give my answer from an historic, scientific and economic perspective, and, at the same, I will try to show why other models are possible.
Different organisational models are not only possible, but needed when the current models are causing so much pain in modern companies.
We need to reinvent the way company works as well as we must reinvent the definition of career in the 21st century.
We have so many tools and the higher amount of technology that we can use to shape the future of our companies. Which is the reason why we are not doing anything about it?
Even if the presentation is definitely focused on the Italian market it contains elements and ideas that have a broader ranged of applicability.
And, as always, it's not too serious.
I used this presentation for my talk at the Better Software 2013 conference in Florence.
The reluctance gap creates a barrier between every layer of functional leadership and collectively accounts for a substantial amount of 'missing' leadership capability. Addressing the gap allows leaders to be fully present and engaged and they can, in turn, build engaged teams

Response to diseases: Sensitizing scientists in India for bridging leadership. Miftahul Barbaruah
The presentation attempts to sensitize young scientists engaged with research in broader areas of disease biology and therapeutics to go beyond knowledge creation in their respective sub-domain. It urges scientists to reflect on 'bigger picture' for ownership of larger problem. This should help them to thrive for co-ownership of such problems involving related stakeholders across various disciplines in order to facilitate technological innovation. It also urges scientists to engage in 'co-creation' of responsive programme and services by ensuring institutional arrangement at various levels of value chain and empowerment of people so that they can access and use the technological solution thus developed.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Specific ServPoints should be tailored for restaurants in all food service segments. Your ServPoints should be the centerpiece of brand delivery training (guest service) and align with your brand position and marketing initiatives, especially in high-labor-cost conditions.

Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
4. “While many creative people in Hollywood are floundering
in the media sea change, Poehler is surfing.
“It all goes back to improv,” she says.
“It’s all about flexibility, about not knowing
what’s going to happen next. You have to listen and
stay in the moment. You have to play
with people who will support you. You have to get
comfortable with being uncomfortable.”
