Dyslexia SuperPowers

December 03, 2021
Dyslexia SuperPowers new book due December 2022. Although I’m exhausted from all the different things I have been working on at the moment, and the two books published this year already, I’m working on one more a short guide to Dyslexia SuperPowers.

People with Dyslexia have SuperPowers, they manifest often as immense quickness to not only understand but also see from multiple perspectives and see patterns that only computers can otherwise observe.

These SuperPowers are hidden well by their owners as their experience shows the pack is fearful of the extraordinary and has conditioned them since childhood to be less obvious.

This book is a safe space for several people with SuperPowers to talk about them, both as a child and as an adult.

Designing for Human Experience
Polymath Knowledge / Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)
October 26, 2020
Forewords by Robert Powell and Patrick Neeman. Designing for Humans remains for me the most fantastic amalgamation of the complex to create the simple, useable and nascent components and artefacts that support human experiences. I’ll apologise in advance while I try to use simple English I often fail because someone came up with a word that covers off the complexity I’m trying to express. I use dictionary’s often when writing, not least because I’m dyslexic and can’t see letters, I was taught to read the gaps between them in primary school by a special teacher, so my perspective is often quite different from others.

Fundamental to my work in designing for human experience is my early experiences of human augmentation in supporting what the world describes as disability. When I was eight (1970’s) my father was involved in setting up a respite centre for the families disabled children. It was the first time I’d seen technologies that support people in doing what I take for granted and it changed my perspective on technology and what it means to be human.

May 23, 2018
Near the end of our work at Accenture https://thehive.hivemindnetwork.com/stars_indi/creation-and-launch-of-accenture-enterprise-user-experience-eux-globally/ Wipro Technologies contacted us as they also wanted their existing UX capability enhanced. We were initially involved with them on this however it was clear that they had adopted the generalist approach to a point where specialists would not be hired. In fact they did hire a large number of graphic designers who were immediately required to lean how to code in Javascript. As previously stated there are different mental models and skills that few people can cross over, to produce any degree of quality work. We had decided to walk away from Wipro Technologies and had given notice when we were invited to be involved in creating Wipro Digital from a blank canvass.

Creation and Launch of Accenture Enterprise User Experience (EUX) Globally
HiveMind Network
May 23, 2018
Back in 2010 the world was changing and the big corporate world knew that Customers (targeted, with money to spend) were fatigued from bad real world experiences and moving to online experiences that were as bad. They were asking their corporate consultancies for support and those tax and management consultancies provided people who had no design backgrounds, no user experience background and no research background who where trained to be the expert from afar but never held accountable for outcomes to end customers before.

Around this time we were courted by Accenture, PwC and KPMG, EY were not really involved in digital at this time. Each had their own rationale for what they wanted and why, but also they saw UX as a production skill not a strategic one. While there was a massive influx of graphic design into the field at that time, most of the pretty graphic UI’s failed to aid the actual experience as they were skin deep and did not tackle the end to end (UI, logic, ETL, process, latency, integrated support issues etc) experience that UX actually covered and still does for professional practitioners.

Agile Methodology Friend or Foe
Triad Agile Methodology / TechPros
May 07, 2019
Sir Winston Churchill, former British statesman and author once said: “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” This statement is especially true when it comes to how different businesses approach digital transformation and the Agile methodology that has become famous alongside it.

A fundamental change to your process methodology may seem intimidating and tough at first, but the opportunities are endless. However, tapping into these opportunities demands that you learn as much as you can about the innovations that are out there and how they can boost efficiency and increase productivity. The more you know about how innovations are changing your industry, the easier it is to equip yourself to adapt and lower your risk of falling behind the competition.

All children have potential leadership skills which can be developed and enhanced. Communication skill is one of the most important leadership traits a child needs to have. Sadly it is also one of the most feared social activities among children and one which continues well into their adolescence and adulthood. Young Leader's Platform has embarked on a goal to develop outgoing and motivated children, who can organize and present ideas logically and convincingly to a large audience. Children enjoy being part of the group, engaging in different activities that cross them over from being shy and embarrassed to becoming confident and outgoing.

Who’s Who in Future of Work? | Onalytica | Clelia Arci
Onalytica
November 19, 2020
Onalytica has been creating Top 100 Influencer lists for the past
10 years, connecting brands with influencer communities. The
marketplace is now looking to understand who is influential beyond
Twitter social amplifiers. Over recent years there have been more and
more companies producing lists based on Twitter followers. We want
to break away from that.

The world of work is transforming quickly, and we all need to
become true agents of change if we want to build a brighter
future for ourselves and future generations. This requires us to
think beyond the technological advances in AI, IoT, cloud and
cybersecurity that change the way we work and consider the human
factor. How do organizations build for “work anywhere” operating
models of a remote workforce while laying the foundation for a
hybrid future? We must examine our entire approach to digital
transformation and human resources transformation, which means
re-evaluating leadership skills, reinvesting in employee experience
and employee engagement, and re-prioritizing diversity and
inclusion in the workplace.

May 24, 2017
Karl Smith is an inventor of open network IoT3 UbiNET which he has patented and a holistic transformation consultant more involved with how humans have to deal with technology than the technology itself. Karl Smith is also former Global Head of Mobility User Experience at Accenture and Partner (founder), Global Head of Digital Design at Wipro Digital, current Chairman of the Human Centered Design Society and has relaunched or launched Design as a USP in several global enterprises.

IoT Design Principles
UCD2016 Conference, Being Human 
October 14, 2016
At this year’s UCD Conference, we’ll be exploring the philosophical tension between humanity and science in post-digital, networked civilizations; what does it mean to be human in our new global digital community, and how do we design for our evolving species?

We’ll be hearing from the people who are bringing tomorrow to life – and bringing life to tomorrow – though the Internet of things, ambient intelligence, big data, sympathetic machines, hyper personalisation, social science, robotics, new applications for simulated worlds, virtual reality, service design, artificial intelligence, gaming, cryptocurrency, human behaviour analysis, computer vision, security, automation, simulated worlds, digital content and engagement, machine learning, biohacking, and the future of defense, flight, energy, social good, civil disobedience, cities, media, cars, commerce, health, finance, the global poor…

Come and meet scientists, technologists, and philosophers; and also designers, disruptors, and activists. Talk to people who are inventing new ways for technology to fill the gaps in our world; people who create digital solutions (and – yes – robots) to provide services that the infrastructure of our society is unable to provide.

Beyond the debate about the rise of the machines vs. the fall of humanity, be prepared to confront your own digital behavior – there’s no reward without risk at UCD! – and to come away with a new sense of awe and insight into the high-stakes game of designing technology for humanity.

Join the agitators, the innovators, and the rule breakers at #UCD16.

The role of DevOps in business transformation
Why DevOps: core principles and where they can help
Next generation of DevOps; customer, business, finance, change, IT
Vertical slicing; an enterprise enabler
Transformation; hearts and minds with skills and delivery

IT is evolving: the role of Information Technology within the organisation has fundamentally changed, drawn from a background support function into a crucial centre of innovation, value creation and competitive edge. More than ever before, the success and failure of the organisation is being defined by its technological ability.

Amidst this transition, the dynamics of the IT industry are also changing: there has been a substantial shift to outsourced models, from storage and CRM to critical infrastructure and disaster recovery. This transition to software orientated models and XaaS is redefining the role, with much greater emphasis on service agreements, outsourcing and vendor management.

This conference will contextualise the evolution of IT, examining the changing role of technology within the business and the inherent implications for IT personnel. The event is geared for senior IT, business and finance leaders, providing a unique forum for knowledge exchange, discussion and high-level networking.

Core topics

• IT Evolution: the changing role of IT within the business
• Leadership: strategy, culture and collaboration
• XaaS: the shift from asset to service-based consumption
• ITAM: IT Asset Management and procurement
• Managed Services: vendor management and Service Level Agreements
• Governance: information security, GDPR and data protection
• DevOps: Agile process, faster delivery, greater collaboration

Being Agile
Karl A L Smith
August 31, 2022
Agile Problem Statementswhat were the issues that agile was created to solve?

Alternative to document driven, heavyweight development processes
Throwing work over the fence
Work around for bureaucracy impeding the delivering value
Work around for distant decision making
Work around for fixed process mindset
Work around for time management (micro) towards outcomes (macro)

Alternative to huge deliverables with too many opportunities to go off course and ultimately fail too late in the day to fix

Being too detached from clients as contract negotiations define working dynamic

Having no relationship to end customers so End Customer requirements not prioritized – The end customer may not be your customer

Unable to react to innovation or emergent solution ideas because of strict contract and predefined delivery plans

Work had lost its humanity with platitudes around people being the greatest resource where no one listens or learns from each others' experiences

The Internet of Things is the next great opportunity for commerce to engage with business enterprises. However there is no unified approach to the mental load between physical interaction, mental interaction and digital interaction. This cognitive landscape is inhabited by associated experiences that gel human behaviour and machine interfaces through, touch, mouse and keyboard. The usage of sight, voice and thought create new complexities and risks which have until recently been the subject of defence technologies, where clear outcomes and prescribed mental models exist. The diversification of these touch points and multi-point human logic models clash and derail human thinking patterns.

Enabling Client Communications
St Andrews HCI Research Group
February 02, 2016
There is a huge and complex social psychology to managing client engagements effectively. Merely presenting actionable solutions that have valid data to back them up is not enough for clients. They become lost with the simplest of justifications and proof often focusing factors of little importance to the end users. In this talk I will offer some meeting navigation concepts that will enable people to facilitate client meetings, establish and reach defined outcomes and establish clear dialog and interaction methods.

Artificial Intelligence is using the wrong type logic to understand humans and their behaviours

Date : July 29, 2020

Artificial Intelligence is based upon the wrong logical form, to be useful in understanding humans and their behaviour. AI is currently based on a redactive methodology that employees Socratic Logic. To properly engage with the full dataset AI should utilize Hegelian Logic pivoting on Outliers to establish the Synthesis and therefore future proof solutions. I'd like to open this discussion up to other AI experts and Thought Leaders to first hear their perspectives and discuss the preparation of a report, whitepaper or blog on this subject.

7 Predictions
Agile has Failed and will be Replaced by AI Modeled Work Optimizations

Date : November 08, 2023

There is now a common shout to move on from agile to the next fad. However there are so few examples of agile it is hard to validate these calls as anything other than misdirection. AI being the latest call to action many consultancies and organisations will seek to move towards this, but fail to fix their underlying organisational issues that would make such a move possible.

2023 Predictions for Future of Work

Date : November 14, 2022

“The conflict between Traditional (based upon Taylorism) and more Agile ways of working will continue in 2023. This is fundamentally about control or rather command and control. If workers are able to be productive without the tight oversight by management overseeing their activities then what is the purpose of middle management? Further if workers are responsive to the ebb and flow of work in the flexible manner exhibited during Covid-19 then much of the MI and BI that is created is now worthless.

In 2023 we can expect forward and adaptive organizations to embrace distributed working as the norm. In fact some will also start to hire from the world moving the dial from geographic recruitment to best skills modeling. These will become the organizations that people will want to work in. Like the Second World War economies where many women had experienced being valued outside the home for the first time our culture has evolved and everyone is resetting their work life balance. While some organizations are stuck in the past having strong leaders telling people what to do, it is no longer part of western business culture to respond. During the pandemic we did not have good access to their insights and rather depended of colleagues and team members. If anything we can regard the new norm to be distributed work with constant digital communications with colleagues.”

The future of work is not Enterprise Agile

Date : October 20, 2021

The continued failure of top down Agile Transformations has not dulled the desire to waste money on grand schemes. Until transformations becomes grassroots led the future of work remains in the past by moving the chairs in Titanic enterprises. If companies would listen they would be surprised at how simple customer and workers requests are, “listen I have an idea” “engage I want to help” “reduce pointless bureaucratic activities” “less management more conversation/colleagues” “engage with/pay me for my work and the value I add, not my headcount” are the common threads. The true future of work belongs to organisations that want to succeed through strategy, Agile, DevOps, AI, Blockchain may help but only if your people are engaged more.

Working from the World will continue to become the Norm

Date : October 06, 2020

It is clear that Covid19 has changed working practices for the vast majority of people into digitally distributed working rather than city based centralised working. This will continue as the cost benefit ratio for being located in a city is clearly shown to be high value in face to face interactions but very low in digital interactions. No city adds value to back office, support or technical services so these activities first will become fully digital. Working from the World changes executive office, sales, marketing, service delivery, customer lifecycle management, finance, legal and HR and many already set up systems will have the wrong data configurations (in many cases that will require a new data architecture with new primary keys that support flexibility and agility).

Smart City investment should stop and instead focus on regional infrastructure.

Digital Transformation is being shown as the Kings New Clothes

Date : September 29, 2020

Much of the Transformation work for the last 15 years is not fit for purpose as the starting point has been the selling and buying of technology stacks rather than defining the feature sets required and using them to define the technologies. Mainframe development programmes have been focused on creating limited API's to create micro services instead dismantling proprietary technology and creating open architectures. Finally technical debt is coming home to roost and must be resolved.

Only AI can secure Blockchain and together they provide unique ID and security to build trust

Date : September 29, 2020

It is clear that the internet is not secure enough to deliver the features and functionality of the systems now using it. There is a widely unknown way to resolve this by the use of combining AI and Blockchain Technologies.

Organisations will discover that they have delivered Digital Technology not Digital Transformation

Date : September 29, 2020

While the call for Digital Transformation has been going on for years many companies will struggle to gain the value and adaptability promised by these programmes. What they will discover the hard way is that they have not created a digital communication and engagement transformation but have in fact been sold and had delivered technology. Digital is a use of technology to achieve a customer experience that is a conversation, not a channel or a broadcast.

Top 100 Thought Leaders and Influencers to follow in 2020 and why!
Thinkers360
October 27, 2020
Karl Smith named in the The Awards Magazine, Top 100 Global Thought Leaders and Influencers to Follow in 2020. It’s wonderful sounding but what does it actually mean and does it matter at all? https://twitter.com/UserExperienceU https://www.linkedin.com/in/karlsmith2/ What are Thought Leaders and Influencers When I first came across the concept of Thought Leadership and Influence I had though it related to teenagers giving makeup tips for free products or pseudo celebrities from reality TV areas endorsing products to make a living. Since neither area interested me in the slightest I was surprised that such a thing existed in relation to consulting services or technology and devices like mobile phones and personal computing. So in my normal response to new ideas I investigated it and found that Thought Leadership has been around for a very long time in pharmaceuticals where published and known doctors let their peers know about new products. Elihu Katz in answers the question, “Who is an opinion leader?” One or more of these factors make noteworthy opinion leaders: - expression of values - professional competence - nature of their social network The Influencer aspect is certainly newish but can also really be focused back to news media and the editorial format that is followed and represents the readers preference. As I have been blogging since 2001 and writing since 1989 about my work I appear to be such a person from what I have already done and continue to do today. My main blog https://karlsmith.info/ garners around 4,500,000 readers a year, when I first started it was mainly academic institutions in the USA and from the analytics it was clear that my free materials were being used to supplement several major University courses on Computer Human-Interaction and what UX was called in those days in the US Information Architecture. Why do Thought Leaders and Influencers matter? As we change so does how we acquire knowledge and what are our sources of truth. When there is no longer a trusted route “people like me” and “people I recognise” become the source of truth. The now famous facebook algorithms that mimic these perceptions drive content that Facebook thinks we will like. And shockingly Facebook is often right, people really don’t like to think, they do want an easy life and are giving up their personal freedoms for shared simple experiences. And this is where Thought Leaders and Influencers add the most value as they are clearly not the establishment so may be “people like me” and the “people I recognise”. Discovering I’m Thought Leader and Influencer While I was aware through my engagement as a Key Opinion Leader with Huawei Technologies since 2017 as a member of their global programme that my social media had impact with decision makers, I had never looked for recognition. I suppose I had always just focused on creating original content like my Huawei KOL peers. In May 2020 however I found Thinkers360 and thought it would be interesting to upload my content. What I discovered was that I was already a Thought Leader and Influencer but just did not know it. I have found the whole thing to be a nice gamification and a really good way to understand how my materials are viewed by others, so thank you Thinkers360 https://www.thinkers360.com/ for giving me that context. I have gained a number of top positions and honourable mentions that really exposes the breadth of my experience to a wider audience. Some snapshots of Ranking on Thinkers360 Today Karl Smith ranked 5th overall Global Thought Leadership and Influencer Karl Smith ranked 1st in Agile Global Thought Leadership and Influencer Karl Smith ranked 1st in Big Data Global Thought Leadership and Influencer Karl Smith ranked 1st in Customer Experience Global Thought Leadership and Influencer Karl Smith ranked 1st in Customer Loyalty Global Thought Leadership and Influencer Karl Smith ranked 1st in Digital Transformation Global Thought Leadership and Influencer Karl Smith ranked 1st in Predictive Analytic Global Thought Leadership and Influencer If your a an academic, author, speaker or an entrepreneur definitely sign up for the free account you may knock me off my positions, but that's fine because it makes your insight more accessible to others and that aids humanity. Thought Leader and Influencer Ethics I have some very strong ethics around representation of, well really, anything. I believe I have a duty of care for people who read what I write to not mislead them. This may sound counter intuitive for an influencer but for me just living is not everything, how I live is everything I can’t represent something as good if I don’t know it is, just like I can’t give a job reference to someone I’ve not directly worked with. I think people have a right to expect truth, regardless of what that means now. The media describes our social media led world as post truth world, although this may be a shock to some people in marketing, I’m not selling the trust my readers have given me. What I will do however is, when provided early access to information, about products or services that will aid people, then I will write about it. Often I will not write a face on or broadcast article as I’m not here to be a channel, I will compare the offering in market context and historically and bypass regional and economic bias. For example with Huawei I’m happy to still be involved with them, regardless of all the negative hype because I have no empire to protect. I wrote Government as a Service (GaaS), Spying as a Service (SaaS) the United Kingdom exports some unexpected things https://karlsmith.info/government-as-a-service-spying-as-a-service-the-united-kingdom-exports-some-unexpected-things/ as a response to the ridiculous arguments about security risks that Huawei’s mobile infrastructure represents, because American politicians are crying WOLF. The real issue here is the American cultural attitude to investment in infrastructure and the fact they have dropped the 5G ball, they think private companies should set it up for the whole country, mainly because they know the government can’t. The USA is a collection of states not a centralised Country not since Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal has the central government taken direct responsibility to resolve major infrastructure issues. I think there is an article there! About Karl Smith Karl Smith is a globally known founder in Customer Experience, User Experience, Agile, Digital Transformation and Thought Leader and Influencer based on projects delivered with Fortune 500 companies.

Designing for Human Experiences a book about 31 years of the professional experience of Karl Smith
Thinkers360
October 24, 2020
The Author Karl Smith (1966 to present) was born in Kent, to Irish immigrants, grew up in Beckenham and currently lives in Scotland. He has worked globally (USA, Europe, South America, China, India, Australia) as a consultant for corporations, governments and startups, always looking for the next impossible challenge. He has focused his life on problem solving, to fix the everyday problems of humans. He is an avid learner and polymath from St Joseph's College, Beulah Hill to Ravensbourne College of Art and Design in Chislehurst, Middlesex University at Cat Hill and later Napier University in Edinburgh his knowledge sits across design, engineering, science and the humanities. He is best known in the fields of User Experience (UX), Human Centred Design (HCD), Organisational Agility, Agility and Scaled Agile but also works in Technology Architecture, Infrastructure, Networking, IoT, Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence. In this his first Polymath book he describes what it means to design for humans, the various roles involved, the errors, pitfalls and agendas that cause work to fail and how he responded to them. Excerpt - Designing for Human Experience Glossary It is important before getting into the main part of this book to understand aspects of motivation and rationale across the wide area of specialisations I have worked in over the years hence the glossary of roles, often the same words and phrases are used to mean different things. It’s like being told someone speaks English so communication will be easy, all the while not realising that meaning is biographical through culture and geography. Definitely make notes on things you don’t agree with and please contact me on LinkedIn if you’d like to chat https://www.linkedin.com/in/karlsmith2/ This is a short glossary to cover the now myriad of terminology related to designing for humans. I expect there to be more as time goes on humans do seem to love reinventing the wheel and then renaming it. designing for TDP – the design process IA – information architecture CA – content author PD – product design ID – instructional design U – usability A – accessibility UX – user experience UXS – user experience strategy CX – customer experience UCD – user centered design HCD – human centred design SD – service design DT – design thinking ST – systems thinking PX – pervasive experience IoT – internet of things DT – digital transformation AT – agile transformation OD – organisational design SA – scaled agile BA – business agility human experience Excerpt - Definition of User Experience (UX) Philosophy of UX User experience is about making people's lives better not just changed. A person’s experience is based in their mind and their emotions and can be established by both actual interaction and reflective (biographical experience) inputs. In UX we define inputs in digital or real-world frameworks which enable the creation of solutions that have meaningful impact and that can be measured. Overview of UX The current approach to UX is that it is the practical implementation of audience drivers, cognitive acuity, usability standards and accessibility laws with ergonomics (physical, contextual use) and anthropometric (digital behaviours analytics) measures. Creating an integration of business context into user context, to facilitate alignment, transactions and communications. Definition; A user is a representative of the target audience. They are not involved in the project in any way. They will use the final product or service either as a customer or as an internal business user. UX is not involved in the Look and Feel associated with GUI's but rather delivers the human solution that can be accessed through any user interface this is why UX is closely associated with assistive technologies used in accessibility which are in turn derivatives of technologies developed for the military and space exploration. While UX is not rocket science, it has been involved in the space program Excerpt - Indications of flawed or doctored research results There are a number of other pointers to work out if your results have been skewed to fit a perspective or project politic. “Everyone said the same thing about their experience” This is statistically impossible, they could say a similar thing, the exact same thing is a fix to match a personal agenda or a perspective. “We got very positive feedback” This is impossible, feedback by its very nature is both positive and negative, both are critical to get a balanced view and essential so that the project is refined to deliver the intended outcomes. “We passed usability testing at 95%” This is impossible, usability testing is not a pass or a fail. Usability testing is designed to find faults and is conducted throughout the project not just at the end. If there was a success factor for usability testing it would be to find lots of faults in time for them to be corrected. Watch out for these and others as you gain experience. Designing for Human Experience Book USA - https://www.amazon.com/Karl-Smith/e/B08LMMZC6D? UK - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Karl-Smith/e/B08LMMZC6D? Excerpt - How do you design experience UX Design? You can design a framework or architecture but the experience in UX is in someone's mind and in their emotions, if you design people’s experience it’s a crime against humanity. UX research or UX analysis all make lots of sense but UX design does not, but the real point here is the breaking of the UX process into sections. The practice of breaking the process is clearly done by people who don’t understand it. I keep meeting UX researchers who are excited that I am recruiting UX people, but to me not being able to do the full process creates too many limitations on them as viable UX people. Apart from the obvious inability to pass critical information at role breaks; why should my clients pay for limited people with one component when a holistic UX person can cover the whole process? UX research involves quantitive and qualitive research. Researching existing data to look for patterns and anomalies to express the problem or conducting simple but mass sample research needs to be validated by the intended users. In a simple way quantitive research tells you what and qualitive data tell you why. It is important to not rely on quantitive data (insights) alone as without the context of qualitive data (meaning) it is common to make decisions based on bias rather than customer’s needs. This is the major problem with AI as it is currently designed and utilised. UX facilitation and research is the fun part and everyone wants to do it, analysis is quite complex if it happens at all, but converting the concepts from the analysis into features and behaviour is the critical component which is the design (solutions) part of the process. Defining the interactive framework and delivering it through sitemaps, journey maps, wireframes or interactive modelling is an architectural activity as it relates to creating multiple routes that enable different kinds of users to acquire information, products or services. UX does not do graphic design, get a Graphic Designer (this is a highly skilled role separate from UX) for that and avoid anyone who says they can do both because they are divergent mental models, so they won't be highly skilled in both. Experience cannot be designed you can only open access points to having an experience. Experience is personal to the user, so UX Designers do not exist (except as created by recruiters or clients without knowledge).

Agile20Reflect Festival
Thinkers360
October 20, 2020
The Vision of the Festival is “A worldwide Festival, celebrating 20 years of Agile and building bridges for the future” The main purpose of the Festival is to bring agilists from all over the world together to celebrate the signing of the Agile Manifesto. The Festival will have three main themes: 1. The History and Origin of Agile 2. The Current State of Agile 3. Future Possibilities for Agile The Festival aims to attract and invite agilists of all backgrounds, fields and experiences together, to collaboratively create events that openly explore the Agile phenomenon which changed the world. We hope to enable, encourage and support professionals and learners to collaborate in reflection; understand and learn from our experiences and; visualise, record and archive information for the future. We further aim to celebrate and rebuild the community and energise the next generation to further develop ideas and methods through respectful dialogue, debate and design. This is not a conference or an event – it is a Festival where participants from all over the world are encouraged to design and submit an event that is of interest to them. These events can be local, regional or global. They can be in-person or virtual.

Imagine If The Way We Now Live Became Redundant
Thinkers360
September 03, 2020
Ari Abraham from Philosophie Group Inc. Santa Monica, California talks to Karl Smith, a consultant, and innovator who has said in the past “My desire was not to build things that humans already do but to find out how technology could evolve our human experience.” Ari and Karl dig into some of his wins, his fails, and the adventure of having a storied history of projects all centered around the human experience. In the first part of this interview Karl describes some successes some failures giving examples from projects he has worked on. In the second part of the interview Karl Smith describes some of the use cases for UbiNET. The first implementation of UbiNET should be in FMCG with a focus on product lifecycle (creation to recycling) management, removal of the grey product economy (no more fake products of any kind). In the second version UbiNET becomes a transaction system with a daily mutating encryption to uniquely identify buyer and products. http://ubi-net.us/ https://karlsmith.info/imagine-if-the-way-we-now-live-became-redundant/ https://open.spotify.com/episode/1PHPgn3XoB1wVggmYOi95s?

The Autonomous Hot Tub and other moving Rooms
Thinkers360
September 01, 2020
This is most evident in autonomous vehicles and it has missed the essential point the if there is no human driver autonomous vehicles are moving space with humans inside them. If we considered travelling instead of driving, then using the time in a different way is understandable. It also perhaps changes what the purpose of travel from being destination focused to being movement focused. Trusting Technology Autonomous or Not It is startling that few people understand how much of their travel already relies on computers and automation. Autopilot on planes is the standard and they fly through three dimensions unlike ground vehicles in just two dimensions. It may simply be the psychology of control, few people currently control airplanes but many control cars and that loss of control may be the bases of fear regarding autonomous vehicles. Certainly mistrust of technology is pervasive yet abandoned when need overrules such concerns. It is common for people to give away their personal data in order to gain a service as is seen in social media and many service applications. It’s also worth noting that trust in technology is generational there are currently people in their 70’s and 80’s who don’t trust credit cards in online ecommerce, even though all transactions even in physical shops are online. Autonomous Hot Tub I have to admit that this is my prefered option, since we don’t all have jetpacks I’ll settle for hot tub vehicles, I will certainly arrive rested. And this is the point of autonomous vehicles they change the meaning of travel the options become endless. Autonomous Hotel Room What if our means of travel also became our meaning of staying. The vast expense of building static hotels would be removed and replaced with parking bays for hotel rooms, that are styled for the owner or renter. Parts of peoples homes could travel with them and their view and location will change but personal comfort won’t. I would be nice if hotel rooms could meet us at the airport and then take us on a tour of a country. This may seem all too far fetched but consider that entire music or book collections now exist in subscriptions, how about autonomous meeting rooms that collect the participants, autonomous restaurants or bars. Perhaps we need to move away from reframing our existing world in new technologies and just change how the world works. We all need to let technology be the servant of humanity rather than its drug and get rid of pointless things.

Agile approaches have downplayed the role of management. Too many people say, “We don’t need no stinkin’ managers.” On the contrary. We need managers to create and refine the agile culture and create leadership capability across the organization. Without modern management, any agile transformation dies a quick and ugly death. Instead, it’s time to invite managers to change their behaviors to transform to an agile culture. Learn to see and create management excellence for your agile culture.

“There is a lot of talk about ‘Agile transformation’ these days but scratch the surface and what you get is often not much more than an island of Agile practice marooned in a sea of ‘business as usual’.

This is because traditional management practice is underpinned by annual budgeting which is to agile businesses what waterfall practices are to agile project management. Budgets that impose an artificial constraint on what can be done, when, and which embody and entrench a command and control mindset.

Only the agile species will survive Digital Transformation… ​
We are living in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world. This necessitates organizations being able to respond and adapt quickly to rapid changes in customer needs, competition, technological advancements and regulations. Now more than ever organizations need to cultivate an agile mindset in order to realize ​ organizational agility i.e. “the ability to quickly reconfigure strategy, structure, processes, people, and technology toward value-creating and value-protecting opportunities”. The Agile Manifesto provides the foundation through a pair of four agile values and twelve Agile Principles which define the agile way of working.

Enabling a collection of agile practitioners to achieve high levels of performance is a tough job. Most agile experts have strong opinions, lots of experience and BIG opinions on what exactly IS and IS NOT agile.

Of course not all agilists are overly opinionated but they are hired to be experts so it is not wonder that troubles arise when numbers of practitioners need to come together to achieve an organisational outcome.

The Agile Manifesto, that launched this massive movement, is now 20 years old. So, it’s fair to ask, given all the advancements in the last 20 years: Is the Agile Manifesto still relevant? What’s more, Agile was defined for small, potentially fast-moving software-only teams. And that raises an important question: Does the Agile Manifesto scale? Does it meet the needs of enterprises developing the biggest and most complex software and systems? Does it serve the needs of systems that require hundreds of people to build them and have unacceptably high costs of failure? What about non-technical teams throughout the enterprise who are beginning to adopt many of the values and principles of the manifesto?

The very title of this talk might challenge you. Many don’t like to use the term transformation, instead, preferring adoption, migration, transition, business agility shift, or many other phrases. Regardless of the term used, this talk focuses on how to move an organization (teams, leaders, people, culture, etc.) towards more agile approaches to product development. And its raison d’etre is that many (most) really struggle to do that. Join Bob Galen and Shaun Bradshaw as they explore critical patterns for transformations including finding the right agile champion, setting up an Agile Transformation Team, why it’s critical for leadership to be agile first, and how to find and communicate the why behind your transformation.

Can Agile HR help us realise true organisational transformation @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm GMT

Location: Northern Europe    Date : February 17, 2021 - February 17, 2021     Organizer: Agile20Reflect Festival | Karl Smith CTO and Trustee

It’s time for HR to become a strategic partner in guiding organisational wide Agile transformation and building human-centric workplaces. People sit at the heart of Agile, and the HR domains of culture, talent development and organisational design are crucial components of any business transformation. Indeed, a HR team equipped with the right skills and knowledge can help accelerate the mindset change. However, the opposite is also true and when HR fail to embrace Agile and appreciate the negative impact traditional HR processes and systems have on the success of Agile practices, HR itself can quickly become a blocker.

Lead Your Remote Team to Success: Focus on Principles and Outcomes with Johanna Rothman @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm PST

Location: North America    Date : February 17, 2021 - February 17, 2021     Organizer: Agile20Reflect Festival | Karl Smith CTO and Trustee

Up until the pandemic, many people offered advice to agile teams who wanted to include remote people: “Don’t do that!” However, we’ve all been dispersed since March. And, many of us aren’t going “back” to work for months. Some companies aren’t even planning a return date—and some have given up their buildings. Remote is now a fact of life. That means the common advice, “Don’t do that!” doesn’t help distributed agile teams.

However, many distributed agile teams have problems using agile approaches—because those teams focus on practices. Instead, consider how you can apply the eight principles for your successful distributed team. Aside from the principles, you’ll learn the few metrics you need (not velocity!) and how you might optimize your remote team’s agility to deliver the outcomes your business needs.

Imagine you have to coach infrastructure teams to become more agile. How do you tell them they need to work in a different way? And how do you avoid they run away from you before you can even say the word “agile”? Typical phenomenon: their work is often driven my incident solving, but at the same time they also need to implement a backlog of changes, things they need to plan. So what type of work will they pick up first? What do you think will give the quickest satisfaction?

The Context Behind the Manifesto(s) @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm AEDT

Location: Oceania    Date : February 01, 2021 - February 01, 2021     Organizer: Agile20Reflect Festival | Karl Smith CTO and Trustee

In 2001, a group of expert practitioners came together at Snowbird ski resort in Utah. Over a period of a days, between skiing and relaxing – they spent much time talking and sharing ideas. Whilst many do not know why they came together, we do know what they came up with – The Agile Manifesto. (https://agilemanifesto.org/ ). What they couldn’t have known, was the widespread impact this would have for technology and businesses 20 years later.

However, what isn’t well understood by most people is that each of the attendees had their areas of expertise. What isn’t well recognised is that the purpose of the gathering in 2001 was to identify common themes and principles underpinning each of these successful principles / delivery approaches.

In February of 2021, we are celebrating 20 years since the writing of the Agile Manifesto in Snowbird, Utah.

Join the DC Scrum User Group for a behind the scenes look at what happened at Snowbird back in 2001 during the writing of the Agile Manifesto. In addition to the skiing, hot tubs and beers, there were some passionate discussions on various light weight methods, approaches and techniques. Find out how the event came about, who initiated it and why, how the location was picked, what were the objectives and agenda coming into the event, who was there and why, who didn’t make it, what were some of the heated discussions that occurred, how the values and the principles came about, what was included and what was left out, and finally, looking back in retrospect, what would the authors want to change or add today?
