Download or read book Escape the Change Dilemma written by Andreas Graesser and published by innovad LLC. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In nature and business, change is the prevailing constant. This booklet, Escape the Change Dilemma – Transformation to a Smart Data-Driven World, draws attention to the continual change in the world of data, the underlying foundation for the larger-scale digital business transformation. The JiVS Information Management Platform sits front and center, setting the stage for company leaders such as the CEO, the CFO, the CIO, and the COO. Furthermore, the leaders' specific dilemmas they have to overcome are described. This publication offers so-called Escape Routes from all these exposed dilemmas, and as such, it provides a hands-on cookbook for digital data transformation scenarios. The chief roles of corporate leadership and business and IT leaders of smaller companies, decision-makers, and program leaders tasked with the digital data transformation topic gain significant insight. The digital transformation challenges in large and complex organizations are multifold. The biggest challenge, however, is the legacy challenge. Often preserving the past, many large corporations go in small incremental change steps rather than dramatically change and potentially disrupt business execution's status quo. Considering the massive, gathered data across all the legacy systems, wouldn't it be wishful thinking to consolidate all the data into one central source of truth and getting rid of the old systems? No, it's not wishful thinking. This booklet will explain how corporations can quickly transform data reliably and securely at the push of a button. Numerous Dilemmas of Change exist that Graesser explains and breaks down for the most senior leadership roles within companies. As the corporation's overall leader, the CEO needs to decide business matters every day, despite sometimes facing significant knowledge gaps in certain areas. The booklet describes the CEO's five most significant dilemmas along with its Escape Routes that guide the way out of the challenges. The CFO's digital data journey's viewpoints center around the compelling business case to decommission old IT systems. And when it comes to Information Technology, the CIO has to escape several dilemmas, too. A compelling hands-on implementation framework for Digital Transformation allows the CIO to conquer the driver's seat in no time. Escape the Change Dilemma concludes with hands-on advice to implement data transformation and presents the JiVS Implementation Methodology called 'From Vision to Operation.' In summary, Escape the Change Dilemma provides how-to-guides for getting out of digital dilemmas, written for companies' top managers and business leaders. The readers learn about data platforms such as JiVS IMP to kickstart larger corporations' digital journeys and smaller and medium-sized companies.

Download or read book The AI Dilemma written by Juliette Powell and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The misuse of AI has led to wrongful arrests, denial of medical care, even genocide-this book offers 7 powerful principles that business can use now to end the harm. AI holds incredible promise to improve virtually every aspect of our lives, but we can't ignore its risks, mishaps and misuses. Juliette Powell and Art Kleiner offer seven principles for ensuring that machine learning supports human flourishing. They draw on Powell's research at Columbia University and use a wealth of real-world examples. Four principles relate to AI systems themselves. Human risk must be rigorously determined and consciously included in any design process. AI systems must be understandable and transparent to any observer, not just the engineers working on them. People must be allowed to protect and manage their personal data. The biases embedded in AI must be confronted and reduced. The final three principles pertain to the organizations that create AI systems. There must be procedures in place to hold them accountable for negative consequences. Organizations need to be loosely structured so that problems in one area can be isolated and resolved before they spread and sabotage the whole system. Finally, there must be psychological safety and creative friction, so that anyone involved in software development can bring problems to light without fear of reprisal. Powell and Kleiner explore how to implement each principle, citing current best practices, promising new developments, and sobering cautionary tales. Incorporating the perspectives of engineers, businesspeople, government officials, and social activists, this book will help us realize the unprecedented benefits and opportunities AI systems can provide.

Download or read book Uncoding the Digital written by D. Savat and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital media are having an enormous impact on the world. From the seemingly mundane, like playing World of Warcraft, to posting a message on Twitter or Facebook, to the operation of financial markets, to transformations in science and the economy - digital media continue to revolutionize how people live their daily life. This book challenges how we understand our relationship with our digital machines, and shows how they open up a new capacity for action in the world. A capacity for action that we should no longer simply think of in terms of movement and force, but also in terms of flow and viscosity. A capacity for action that produces a politics of fluids, and finds its expression not only in new forms of social control, but also in a renewed ability for people to engage with the world and each other.
