CVS Surveyors |Hows build-up trust in Business | PresentationCVSSurveyors701
Chief Executive of CVS business rates specialists CVS,CVS Surveyors, Mark Rigby, explains exactly what the Revaluation is, and what impact it will have on you as a business ratepayer.For many businesses this Revaluation has provided some relief. Rateable Values were last assigned in 2008 and were followed almost immediately by the recession, which saw commercial property values collapse. The Government then, for reasons somewhat unknown, decided to extend the Rating List (the length of time a business pays their assigned bills for). This means that businesses throughout the UK were stuck paying outdated values for an additional 2 years. The recent Revaluation is a chance to rebalance the situation.

New approach to change in the education sector focuses on Adaptation as the new skill. The three imperatives: Leadership, Collaboration and Communication to address the networked environment.
Client-consultant relationship is a fundamental piece in the puzzle of successful consultation. Soft systems thinking provides a powerful framework to conceptualize and make sense of such relationships, clarifying mutual commitment and demonstrates collaborative values.
Projects must keep moving forward to provide working software in an ever changing environment. This is done with individuals collaborating and constantly interacting to respond to change and continuing to deliver.
Communication and successful interactions with others are key contributors to success. All personality types working together. All diverse opinions collaborating quickly to get to working software.
The Virginia Satir communication model provides a good soft skill mantra to build a cohesive team environment. It takes people successfully communicating and collaborating to build that working software that we all so love.
We will discuss some Satir essentials and similar outlooks towards true team engagement.
Leadership... TRAIT OF CHARACTERISTICS & ATTRIBUTES by dr alka mukherjee dr a...alka mukherjee
There are many different kinds of leaders, therefore there are no ‘set’ qualities that have to be present in all leaders. Rather an effective leader draws from a range of personal qualities to help them deal with different circumstances and challenges.
Part of growing strong as a leader is through expanding our personal qualities. When we are not strong in a particular quality it is also wise to seek the contributions of others who are strong in that quality. This asks for a complementary team. The well-organised person can help to complement the creative person, and the person with the sense of humour can complement the serious minded person.
• Courage: Does not hide from challenging or scary situations; speaks up for what is right even if there is opposition.
• Creativity: Thinks of many different ways to solve challenges.
• Loyalty: Stays true to friends and family or team members through difficult times.
• Honesty: Speaks truthfully; acts sincerely; takes responsibility for own feelings and actions.
• Self-regulation: Controls emotions and sticks to decisions; is disciplined.
• Forgiveness: Accepts shortcomings of others without anger; gives people a second chance.
• Compassion: Thinks of how others are feeling.
• Intelligence: Learns quickly and thinks of good solutions; has a love of learning.
• Determination: Focuses on goals and works hard to achieve them.
• Enthusiasm: Has lots of energy and excitement for life.
• Humour: Sees the lighter side of life and helps people laugh.
• Fairness: Treats people fairly and advocates for their rights; doesn’t let personal feelings bias decisions.
• Generosity: Gives freely of time and possessions; demonstrates kindness.

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:

You Are What You Promise
1. You Are What You Promise
or
You’re Only As Good As Your Word
2. Who Am I
•
Khushil Dep ( @khushil - www.daemondreams.co.uk )!
•
Head of Engineering at Sphonic Ltd!
•
CFEngine Expert user!
•
Promise Theory evangelist!
•
Father & Engineer
3. Existence
•
Composed of the longevity and depth of your life.
•
Depth maybe thought of as the degree to which
you contribution to and assimilate of learning
provided by events.
•
Constantly evolving and demands understanding.
•
Most of successful existence demands effective
collaboration.
4. Collaboration
•
All human interaction is composed of either
positive and negative collaboration, subject to
the context and constraints of the interaction.
•
Promises allow us to trust each other to
converge autonomously on a desired outcome.
•
Collaboration is the bitcoin of Life.
5. Grace
•
Effective promises and evaluation allow for
sympathetic existence.
•
Grace defines a very human concept of both
being autonomous and in concert with other
entities around you.
•
It fosters a greater appetite for effective
collaboration in entries around you.
6. Promises
Promises are the currency of interaction
between entities.!
Promises encapsulate desire, design,
planning, execution and review for any
given solution.!
Promises allow for TRUST and AUTONOMY.
7. A Simple Promise
I promise to have
multiple states
depending on my
context and
constraints.
8. The Universe
•
Quarks promise Protons and Neutrons.!
•
Protons and Neutrons promise Atoms.!
•
Atoms promise Molecules.!
•
Molecules promise Orangelles.!
•
Orangelles promise Cells.!
•
Cells promise Tissue.!
•
Tissue promises Organs.!
•
Organs lead to Lizards.!
•
Spock always wins.
9. Context & Constraint
•
Context maybe thought of as the state of the
environment the promiser occupies at any given
moment.
•
Constraint maybe thought of as the state of
operational parameters which are influenced by the
context and desired outcome at any given moment.
•
A moment is a definable and arbitrary length of
time made significant only by the requirements of a
common desired outcome.
10. Desired Outcomes
•
To be effective, promises in the same context must have
the same appreciation of common desired outcomes.
•
Declarative language is ideally suited to fully describing
challenges and outcomes on the path to a solution.
•
Be concise and small in your desired outcome as this
will better facilitate understanding across participating
promisers.
•
Common understanding of desired outcomes better
facilitate autonomic operation in entities.
11. Autonomy
To operate within a given context
and constraints without the undue
influence of imperative demands
from external entities. To be able to
adapt to alterations in context and
constraints whilst maintaining the
capacity for effective operation.
12. Why?
•
Dynamic complexity is cajoled, never steered.
•
Certainty is a misunderstanding of reality.
•
Effective collaboration needs something more
than probability due to our human nature.
•
Effective operation requires a high level of trust.
14. In Search Of Certainty
•
Trust seeks to provide a degree of certainty.
•
Certainty pacifies our fears about outcomes and
implications in a dynamic and delicate reality.
•
Certainty exists after the fact but never before.
•
Outcomes are more or less probable till evaluated.
•
All things are possible given the correct context
and constraints.
15. Iteration
•
Effective operation relies on iteration and
incorporating feedback from each iteration to the
next.
•
Reality demands a level of orchestration of iterations
between promisers within the same context.
•
A common context does not imply a common set of
constraints and it is important to establish a
sympathy across constraints within the same
context.
16. Convergent Behaviour
•
Non-trivial challenges are dynamic in composition and reactive
behaviour.
•
Evaluation for a desired outcome may cause events which alter the
subject of the promise under evaluation.
•
These alterations will demand the promiser(s) mutate the promise and
possibly evaluation strategy in order to arrive at the desired outcome.
•
Good promises are self-contained engines which adapt to alterations
of subjects without harming or unduly hindering other related
promises.
•
Empathic behaviour is the goal of common promises within any given
context.
