Katabatic Winds of Business Intelligence with Ken Collier
The katabatic winds in Antarctica are the most powerful winds on earth, caused by air tumbling down from higher elevations. Scientists and researchers who live and work in these winds constantly monitor them and adapt their lifestyles in response.
Today’s business intelligence environments are much like these katabatic winds. Business environments, users’ data needs, and corresponding business rules are constantly shifting and changing, and BI professionals must quickly adapt.
This keynote examines the complexities of classic BI architectures and approaches, and explores the difficulties of responding to change. We will examine agile BI methods as a key for rapid response to change, and also discuss several new and emerging business intelligence approaches, including BI in the cloud, the no-SQL movement, adaptive architectures, and other techniques designed to enable more rapid response to the katabatic changes in corporate BI environments.
Many companies experience small successes with an initial Agile pilot and then find their larger agile implementations chaotic and frustrating. There are patterns of failure that can be identified. To understand why efforts didn’t scale, we must consider a holistic view. Using principles and values, we will explore Agile software development methods, knowledge workers, project portfolio management, governance and scaling techniques to identify a high performance, adaptive system. Leaders in the audience will be able to apply the techniques from this talk and assess their environment so they can effectively leverage Agile.
The 1990's involved big enterprise software products, consolidation of platform architectures, and growth in IT expenditures. All of this happened alongside the Internet boom and incredibly rapid growth of small startups with lower cost platform architectures and access to a global customer base. Many companies are now in a situation where their big enterprise software is not allowing them to keep up with newer and more nimble competitors. The wide-scale adoption of cloud computing, social networking, and Agile & Lean software development methods have changed the game. This talk will delve deeper into this conundrum and discuss specific ways to identify software debt and ways that even those companies that have the most software debt can start to become more nimble and compete in this new age.
Agile Keynotes
Technology businesses confront high challenges in their projects that go beyond the technical and managerial activities. How to effectively identify value; how to determine quality; and how to effectively communicate and collaborate with all stakeholders are challenges that are not given the right level of importance and attention. In this session Masa will talk about Lean Value Innovation, a framework that encompasses four key aspects to effectively approach those challenges. He will also talk about the Lean-Agile Prism as the starting point to Lean Value Innovation and will present a case study.

Lean Value Innovation for Technology Businesses,
with Masa Maeda
Don't let the bureaucracy of everyday compliance issues get in your way of being lean and achieving excellence. Don't let your desire to be lean and agile turn into its own form of "compliance". Learn about a revealing systematic approach that puts compliance properly in its place -- behind your pursuit of excellence. An approach that champions lean and agile for their benefits but remains faithful to disciplined management, development, and governance of products and services. Discover the secrets of incorporating non-value-added necessities into the value-added work stream. One characteristic of the approach distinct from many lean initiatives is that it does not rely solely on incremental kaizen. However, it does rely on one important reality: High Performance Operations regularly let go of things that aren't working. Popular molds for dealing with compliance matters take one of two forms: (1) layering bureaucracy atop operations to meet the requirements, or (2) waiting for an epiphany. Neither of these molds work and must be let go. Organizations need a way to break these molds to make a complete shift in their operations – a major kaizen event to re-balance their efforts in favor of excellence -- and from there to continue with routine incremental kaizen. The presentation looks at several facets including common mistakes that hinder high performance, the role of leadership, culture, trust, empowerment, learning and communication -- as prerequisites.
