In this episode of Work Matters, host Thomas Bertels and innovation management expert Bill Fischer discuss the Chinese company Haier and how its unique operating model has enabled its rapid growth. Bill explains how Haier evolved from its roots as a local refrigerator company to become a global innovator by embracing two big ideas: zero distance to the customer and entrepreneurship.The discussion covers Haier's use of microenterprises and platforms to enhance customer experience and employee autonomy, highlighting the importance of organizational vitality. Fischer also sheds light on the leadership of Zhang Ruimin, his adherence to Peter Drucker's principles, and the company's dedication to experimentation.

What happens when we start viewing creativity through the lens of participatory contributions rather than individual brilliance? In this episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education podcast, hosts Dr. Matthew Worwood and Dr. Cyndi Burnett welcome back to the show Dr. Edward Clapp, principal investigator at Project Zero and a lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, to delve into the concept of participatory creativity. Clapp challenges the traditional view of creativity as an individual trait and advocates for a more inclusive and networked approach. He introduces the idea of "profiles of participation," which recognizes the unique ways individuals contribute to group projects The episode provides valuable insights for educators on how to shift focus from individual genius to collaborative idea development, reducing the emotional impact of failure and fostering a growth mindset. Additionally, the conversation touches upon the dynamic roles individuals can play in participatory creativity, drawing analogies to team sports like soccer. The discussion also explores the role of AI in the creative process, broadening the understanding of how technology can contribute to group projects. Practical tools such as the Participation Tracker and Stakeholder Mapping are highlighted, offering educators tangible methods to integrate participatory creativity into their classrooms. Clapp's new book serves as a comprehensive guide for educators, presenting strategies and real-world examples to cultivate a more democratic and collaborative approach to creativity. This episode underscores the importance of emphasizing ideas over individuals, encouraging students to see themselves as part of a larger creative network. Order the Participatory Creativity Guide for Educators here! About Edward Clapp: Edward P. Clapp, Ed.D. is a Principal Investigator at Project Zero interested in exploring creativity and innovation, design and maker-centered learning, contemporary approaches to arts teaching and learning, and diversity, equity, and inclusion in education.

This week Toni discusses the community college experience in rural areas with her guest Jessica Breidinger, a Social Science instructor at Treasure Valley Community College (TVCC) in Ontario, Oregon. Rural community colleges offer the interpersonal benefits of most community colleges with their small class sizes (usually 13-25 students at TVCC) and instructors with advanced degrees leading courses. TVCC's location in a small town offers an additional advantage because interactions between students and educators extend beyond the classroom. Toni and Jessica laugh about seeing students in the grocery store and around town on a regular basis. Students profit from this extra level of empathy and connection, having what amounts to a team of cheerleaders for their entire academic journey. Adding to this community spirit at TVCC is its on-campus housing, a rarity among community colleges. Students have a sense of belonging and know that they have continuing support as individuals with the encouragement to test their limits in their road to success.

This week I have part 2 of my interview with Glenn Parker, The Positive Influence Guy, Glenn, the only child of two hard-working parents, grew up on the streets of New York City. He played street games like stickball, punchball, 3-box baseball and Johnny-on-the Pony with his buddies. He loved the competitive aspects of sports and the opportunities it provided for leadership. As he got older and taller, he moved on to competitive schoolyard and recreational league basketball. All these experiences came together and evolved when he attended an 8-week summer camp in upstate New York. Glenn especially loved the camp season finale when the entire camp of several hundred youngsters was divided into two teams for a week of Olympic-style competition in all manner of sports from baseball to archery to swimming. At age 15 Glenn was selected to serve as captain of one team where led a group of boys that ranged from five to 15 years of age requiring him to provide leadership in the form of support, motivation and positive influence to a varied group. In high school and later in college, Glenn played varsity sports where he learned the values of hard work, practice and collaboration. The sum total of these experiences helped Glenn learn that when he worked hard --- whether in sports or in the classroom ---- he succeeded. He took those values into his work life. After working for several organizations, Glenn and a colleague started a small business as training and organizational development consultants. The business took Glenn to all parts of the US giving him the opportunity to work with a diverse group of people working in a wide variety of industries and occupations. During this time, he narrowed the focus of the consulting to building effective teams and creating team-based organizations. Glenn always loved to write --- his first article was published while he was still in graduate school --- but it took a while for him to work up the courage and confidence to write a book. With the encouragement of Peter Block, Jossey-Bass published his first book, Team Players and Teamwork in 1990 that went on to be a best-seller. The book included a self-assessment survey which was subsequently published as a separate booklet and went on to sell more than one million copies as the Parker Team Player Survey. Many books and leader guides followed including another best-seller, Cross-Functional Teams: Working with Allies, Enemies and Other Strangers. His most recent book, co-authored with his son, Michael is Positive Influence: The Leader Who Helps People Become Their Best Self (HRD Press, 2020). A graduate of City College of New York with a B.A., Glenn also holds an M.A. from the University of Illinois and has studied for the doctorate at Cornell. He also studied at the University of Oslo. Outside of work Glenn has always been on the front lines of political and social causes as well as charitable issues such as cancer. He is a cancer survivor and long-time volunteer with the American Cancer Society. He co-founded Run for Dad, an annual event that draws some 1,500 people and is designed to raise awareness about the dangers of prostate cancer and funds for cancer research. Glenn and his wife, Judy, live in central New Jersey. They are parents of three grown children and grandparents to six wonderful grandchildren all of whom live nearby. Judy and Glenn share of love of travel having visited numerous places around the world to enjoy art, culture, history and good food.

With the encouragement of Peter Block, Jossey-Bass published his first book, Team Players and Teamwork in 1990 that went on to be a best-seller. The book included a self-assessment survey which was subsequently published as a separate booklet and went on to sell more than one million copies as the Parker Team Player Survey. Many books and leader guides followed including another best-seller, Cross-Functional Teams: Working with Allies, Enemies and Other Strangers. His most recent book, co-authored with his son, Michael is Positive Influence: The Leader Who Helps People Become Their Best Self (HRD Press, 2020). A graduate of City College of New York with a B.A., Glenn also holds an M.A. from the University of Illinois and has studied for the doctorate at Cornell. He also studied at the University of Oslo. Outside of work Glenn has always been on the front lines of political and social causes as well as charitable issues such as cancer. He is a cancer survivor and long-time volunteer with the American Cancer Society. He co-founded Run for Dad, an annual event that draws some 1,500 people and is designed to raise awareness about the dangers of prostate cancer and funds for cancer research. Glenn and his wife, Judy, live in central New Jersey. They are parents of three grown children and grandparents to six wonderful grandchildren all of whom live nearby. Judy and Glenn share of love of travel having visited numerous places around the world to enjoy art, culture, history and good food.

In this episode, I sit with Mel Lawrenz, Author of A Chronicle of Grief: Finding Life After Traumatic LossMel says, “Survival means to live through…Surviving is a positive thing. It's God-honoring to say life goes on and I'm gonna go on. If someone thinks, well you can certainly do better than surviving…Well yeah, eventually. You can thrive. There comes a day when you can have a smile on your face when you remember your loved one, when you can get back to some things that have been more normal in life. But if where you're at right now, is just making through, just surviving, there's nothing shameful about that. That is God-honoring." Mel Lawrenz trains an international network of Christian leaders, ministry pioneers, and thought-leaders. He has a Ph.D. in the history of Christian thought (Marquette University) and has been on the adjunct faculty of the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee and Trinity International University. He served as senior pastor of Elmbrook Church in Brookfield, Wisconsin for ten years and now serves as Elmbrook's minister at large, teaching in North America, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. He has authored 18 books with Zondervan, Baker, Jossey-Bass, Leadership Network, Regal, and others.

Welcome back to Season 10 of the OEA Grow podcast, in which our host Sakura Hamada explores how we as educators can support newly arrived students. In this first episode of the season, Sakura speaks with Ethelyn Tumalad from Clackamas High School about her work with the AVID program (Advancement Via Individual Determination). This program supports students throughout all four years of high school to prepare them for college as first-generation students. Ethelyn tells us that the goal is twofold - to help students discover their authentic selves and feel confident that they belong. Sakura and Ethelyn discuss from personal experience how terrifying the classroom can be for newly arrived students. They explain how educators in any classroom can support students by really listening to each student and celebrating accomplishments rather than focusing on deficits. This week's episode will suggest ways to incorporate student-centered learning to help students respect one another and see the strengths in each other's differences.

Rut 4: 18-22SUPONGO QUE NUESTRO TEXTO PARA LA REFLEXIÓN de hoy no es el favorito de ningún lector de las Escrituras. Sin embargo, es como el terreno donde sin buscarlo, un hombre consigue un tesoro escondido. Algo así como lo que le sucedió a Charles Handy, el conocido autor irlandés, cuando vio el árbol genealógico de su familia.Cuenta Handy que su padre, poco antes de morir, le entregó un sobre que decía «Documentos de la familia». Cuando abrió el sobre, vio ahí una relación detallada de sus antepasados: quién se llevó con quién, los hijos que nacieron de cada unión... Leyó, por ejemplo, de Samuel y Ethelreda, y pensó: «¡Qué triste que la vida termine apenas como un nombre en un árbol genealógico!». *Entonces, cuenta él, algo interesante sucedió. La lectura del árbol genealógico de la familia le recordó los últimos versículos del libro de Rut. De inmediato se dio cuenta de la gran verdad que tenía ante sus ojos: «De no haber sido por esos antepasados -Fares, Hezrón, Ram, Aminadab, Naasón... - el gran rey David no habría nacido», pensó. Y, por supuesto, si no hubiera sido por Samuel, Ethelreda, y todos los demás antepasados en su familia, él mismo no hubiera nacido.Handy había descubierto «un tesoro». Razonó que, quizás, su propósito en la vida es simplemente llegar a ser el antepasado de alguien importante, aunque él mismo no lo sea. Pensó, además, que el hecho de no ser alguien importante no le impidió a él hacer una contribución significativa a la humanidad.Lo que Charles Handy entendió ese día es que no habrá vivido en vano si al menos logra dejar este mundo un poquito mejor para sus descendientes. Y aunque seguramente terminará sus días, «en un árbol genealógico», lo consuela pensará que --- ¡quién sabe! ---quizás pueda aparecer en la línea de sus descendientes «un moderno rey David»; ¡cosa que no hubiera sido posible, si él, Charles Handy, no hubiera existido! **Hay aquí una preciosa lección para ti y para mí. Aunque tal vez no te haya dado cuenta; y aunque los periódicos no lo hayan publicado, ¡hay cosas buenas que han ocurrido en este mundo gracias a ti! Alrededor de ti hay gente que lo ha notado, y aprecia lo que ha hecho. Sobre todo, Dios lo ha notado, y un día recibirán tu recompensa, para la gloria de su nombre. Gracias, Padre celestial, porque no nací «por accidente». Así como hay un lugar especial donde he de testificar para ti, también hay un lugar especial para mí en la Patria celestial.* Carlos práctico; Esperando a que la Montaña se Mueva. Reflexiones sobre el trabajo y la vida, Jossey-Bass, 1999, p. 60. **Ibíd., pág. 61.
Hello, and welcome to another episode of CISO Tradecraft, the podcast that provides you with the information, knowledge, and wisdom to be a more effective cybersecurity leader. My name is G. Mark Hardy, and today we're going to try to balance the impossible equation of better, faster, and cheaper. As always, please follow us on LinkedIn, and subscribe if you have not already done so. Shigeo Shingo, who lived from 1909-1990, helped to improve efficiency at Toyota by teaching thousands of engineers the Toyota Production System, and even influenced the creation of Kaizen. He wrote, "There are four purposes for improvement: easier, better, faster, cheaper. These four goals appear in order of priority." Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, stated that, “Every company is a software company. You have to start thinking and operating like a digital company. It's no longer just about procuring one solution and deploying one solution… It's really you yourself thinking of your own future as a digital company, building out what we refer to as systems of intelligence.” The first time I heard this I didn't really fully understand it. But after reflection it makes a ton of sense. For example, let's say your company couldn't send email. How much would that hurt the business? What if your company couldn't use Salesforce to look up customer information? How might that impact future sales? What if your core financial systems had database integrity issues? Any of these examples would greatly impact most businesses. So, getting high-quality software applications that enable the business is a huge win. If every company is a software or digital company, then the CISO has a rare opportunity. That is, we can create one of the largest competitive advantages for our businesses. What if we could create an organization that builds software cheaper, faster, and better than all of our competitors? Sounds good right? That is the focus of today's show, and we are going to teach you how to excel in creating a world class organization through a focused program in Secure Software Development. Now if you like the sound of better, faster, cheaper, as most executives do, you might be thinking, where can I buy that? Let's start at the back and work our way forward. We can make our software development costs cheaper by increasing productivity from developers. We can make our software development practices faster by increasing convenience and reducing waste. We can make our software better by increasing security. Let's first look at increasing productivity. To increase productivity, we need to under stand the Resistance Pyramid. If you know how to change people and the culture within an organization, then you can significantly increase your productivity. However, people and culture are difficult to change, and different people require different management approaches. At the bottom of the pyramid are people who are unknowing. These individuals Don't know what to do. You can think of the interns in your company. They just got to your company, but don't understand what practices and processes to follow. If you want to change the interns, then you need to communicate what is best practice and what is expected from their performance. Utilize an inquiry approach to decrease fear of not knowing, for example, "do you know to whom I should speak about such-and-such?" or "do you know how we do such-and-such here?" An answer of "no" allows you to inform them of the missing knowledge in a conversational rather than a directional manner. The middle part of the pyramid is people who believe they are unable to adapt to change. These are individuals that don't know how to do the task at hand. Here, communications are important, but also skills training. Compare your team members here to an unskilled labor force -- they're willing to work but need an education to move forward. If you give them that, then the unskilled can become skilled. However, if you never invest in them, then you will not increase your company's productivity and lowers your costs. At the Top of the resistance pyramid are the people who are unwilling. These individuals Don't Want to Change. We might call these folks the curmudgeons that say we tried it before, and it doesn't work. Or I'm too old to learn that. If you want to change these individuals and the culture of an organization, then you need to create motivation. As leaders, our focus to stimulate change will be to focus on communicating, educating, and motivating. The first thing that we need to communicate is the Why. Why is Secure Software Development important? The answer is money. There are a variety of studies that have found that when software vulnerabilities get detected in the early development processes, they are cheaper than later in the production phases. Research from the Ponemon Institute in 2017 found that the average cost to address a defect in the development phase was $80, in the build phase was $240, in the QA/Test Phase was $960, and in the Production phase was $7,600. Think of that difference. $80 is about 1% of $7,600. So if a developer finds bugs in the development code then they don't just save their time, they save the time of second developer who doesn't have to do a failed code review, they save the time of an infrastructure engineer who has to put the failed code on a server, they save the time of another tester who has to create regression tests which fail, they save the time of a wasted change approval board on a failed release, and they save the customer representatives time who will respond to customers when the software is detected as having issues. As you see there's a lot of time to be saved by increasing productivity, as well as a 99% cost savings for what has to be done anyway. Saving their own time is something that will directly appeal to every development team member. To do this we need to do something called Shift Left Testing. The term shift left refers to finding vulnerabilities earlier in development. To properly shift left we need to create two secure software development programs. The first program needs to focus on is the processes that an organization needs to follow to build software the right way. This is something you have to build in house. For example, think about how you want software to create a network diagram that architects can look at in your organization. Think about the proper way to register an application into a Configuration Management Database so that there is a POC who can answer questions when an application is down. Think about how a developer needs to get a DNS entry created for new websites. Think about how someone needs to get a website into the various security scanning tools that your organization requires (SAST, DAST, Vuln Management, Container Scanning, etc.) Think about how developers should retire servers at the end of life. These practices are unique to your company. They may require a help desk ticket to make something happen or if you don't have a ticketing system, an email. We need to document all of these into one place where they can be communicated to the staff members who will be following the processes. Then our employee has a checklist of activities they can follow. Remember if it's not in the checklist, then it won't get done. If it doesn't get done, then bad security outcomes are more likely happen. So, work with your architects and security gurus to document all of the required practices for Secure Software Development in your company. You can place this knowledge into a Wikipedia article, a SharePoint site, a Confluence Page, or some kind of website. Make sure to communicate this frequently. For example, have the CIO or CISO share it at the IT All Hands meeting. Send it out in monthly newsletters. Refer to it in security discussions and architecture review boards. The more it's communicated the more unknowing employees will hear about it and change their behavior. The second program that you should consider building is a secure code training platform. You can think of things such as Secure Code Warrior, HackEDU (now known as Security Journey), or Checkmarx Code Bashing. These secure code training solutions are usually bought by organizations instead of being created in-house. They teach developers how to write more secure code. For example, "How do I write JavaScript code that validates user input, sanitizes database queries, and avoids risky program calls that could create vulnerabilities in an application?" If developers gain an education in secure programming, then they are less likely to introduce vulnerabilities into their code. Make these types of training programs available to every developer in your company. Lastly, we need to find a way to motivate the curmudgeons. One way to do that is the following:Let's say you pick one secure coding platform and create an initial launch. The first two hundred people in the organization that pass the secure developer training get a one-time bonus of $200. This perk might get a lot of people interested in the platform. You might even get 10-20% of your organization taking the training in the first quarter of the program. The second quarter your organization announces that during performance reviews anyone who passed the secure software training will be viewed more favorable than their peers. Guess what? You will see more and more people taking the training class. Perhaps you see that 50% of your developer population becomes certified. Then the following year you say since so many developers are now certified, to achieve the rank of Senior Developer within the organization, it is now expected to pass this training. It becomes something HR folks look for during promotion panels. This gradual approach to move the ball in training can work and has been proven to increase the secure developer knowledgebase. Here's a pro tip: Be sure to create some kind of badges or digital certificates that employees can share. You might even hand out stickers upon completion that developers can proudly place on their laptops. Simple things like this can increase visibility. They can also motivate people you didn't think would change. Now that we have increased productivity from the two development programs (building software the right way and a secure code training platform), it's time to increase convenience and reduce waste. Do you know what developers hate? Well, other than last-minute change requests. They hate inefficiencies. Imagine if you get a vulnerability that says you have a bug on line 242 in your code. So you go to the code, and find there really isn't a bug, it's just a false positive in the tool. This false bug detection really, well, bugs developers. So, when your organization picks a new SAST, DAST, or IAST tool, be sure to test the true and false positive rates of the tool. One way to do this is to run the tools you are considering against the OWASP Benchmark. (We have a link to the OWASP Benchmark in our show notes.) The OWASP Benchmark allows companies to test tools against a deliberately vulnerable website with vulnerable code. In reality, testing tools find both good code and bad code. These results should be compared against the ground truth data to determine how many true/false positives were found. For example, if the tool you choose has a 90% True Positive Rate and a 90% False Positive Rate then that means the tool pretty much reports everything is vulnerable. This means valuable developer time is wasted and they will hate the tool despite its value. If the tool has a 50% True Positive Rate and a 50% False positive rate, then the tool is essentially reporting randomly. Once again, this results in lost developer confidence in the tool. You really want tools that have high True Positive Rates and low False Positive Rates. Optimize accordingly. Another developer inefficiency is the amount of tools developers need to leverage. If a developer has to log into multiple tools such as Checkmarx for SAST findings, Qualys for Vulnerability Management findings, Web Inspect for DAST findings, Prisma for Container Findings, Truffle Hog for Secrets scanning, it becomes a burden. If ten systems require two minutes of logging in and setup each that's twenty minutes of unproductive time. Multiply that time the number of developers in your organization and you can see just how much time is lost by your team just to get setup to perform security checks. Let's provide convenience and make development faster. We can do that by centralizing the security scanning results into one tool. We recommend putting all the security findings into a Source Code Repository such as GitHub or GitLab. This allows a developer to log into GitHub every day and see code scanning vulnerabilities, dependency vulnerabilities, and secret findings in one place. This means that they are more likely to make those fixes since they actually see them. You can provide this type of view to developers by buying tools such as GitHub Advanced Security. Now this won't provide all of your security tools in one place by itself. You still might need to show container or cloud findings which are not in GitHub Advanced Security. But this is where you can leverage your Source Code Repository's native CI/CD tooling. GitHub has Actions and GitLab has Runners. With this CI/CD function developers don't need to go to Jenkins and other security tools. They can use a GitHub Actions to integrate Container and Cloud findings from a tool like Prisma. This means that developers have even fewer tools from CI/CD perspectives as well less logging into security tools. Therefore, convenience improves. Now look at it from a longer perspective. If we get all of our developers integrating with these tools in one place, then we can look in our GitHub repositories to determine what vulnerabilities a new software release will introduce. This could be reviewed at Change Approval Board. You could also fast track developer who are coding securely. If a developer has zero findings observed in GitHub, then that code can be auto approved for the Change Approval. However, if you have high/critical findings then you need manager approvals first. These approvals can be codified using GitHub code scanning, which has subsumed the tool Looks Good To Me (LGTM), which stopped accepting new user sign-ups last week (31 August 2022). This process can be streamlined into DevSecOps pipelines that improve speed and convenience when folks can skip change approval meetings. Another key way we can make software faster is by performing value stream mapping exercises. Here's an example of how that reduces waste. Let's say from the time Nessus finds a vulnerability there's actually fifteen steps that need to occur within an organization to fix the vulnerability. For example, the vulnerability needs to be assigned to the right team, the team needs to look at the vulnerability to confirm it's a legitimate finding, a patch needs to be available, a patch needs to be tested, a change window needs to be available, etc. Each of these fifteen steps take time and often require different handoffs between teams. These activities often mean that things sit in queues. This can result in waste and inefficiencies. Have your team meet with the various stakeholders and identify two time durations. One is the best-case time for how long something should go through in an optimal process. The second is the average time it takes things to go through in the current process. At the end of it you might see that the optimal case is that it takes twenty days to complete the fifteen activities whereas the average case takes ninety days. This insight can show you where you are inefficient. You can identify ways to speed up from ninety to twenty days. If you can do this faster, then developer time is gained. Now, developers don't have to wait for things to happen. Making it convenient and less wasteful through value stream mapping exercises allows your teams to deploy faster, patch faster, and perform faster. OK last but not least is making software better by increasing security. At the end of the day, there are many software activities that we do which provide zero value to the business. For example, patching operating systems on servers does not increase sales. What makes the sales team sell more products? The answer is more features on a website such as product recommendations, more analysis of the data to better target consumers, and more recommendations from the reporting to identify better widgets to sell. Now, I know you are thinking, did CISO Tradecraft just say to not patch your operating systems? No, we did not. We are saying patching operating systems is not a value-add exercise. Here's what we do recommend. Ask every development team to identify what ike patching. Systems that have a plethora of maintenance activities are wasteful and should be shortlisted for replacement. You know the ones: solutions still running via on-premises VMWare software, software needing monthly java patching, and software if the wind blows the wrong way you have an unknown error. These systems are ripe for replacement. It can also be a compelling sell to executives. For example, imagine going to the CIO and CEO of Acme corporation. You highlight the Acme app is run by a staff of ten developers which fully loaded cost us about $250K each. Therefore, developing, debugging, and maintaining that app costs our organization roughly $2,500,000 in developer time alone plus hosting fees. You have analyzed this application and found that roughly 80% of the time, or $2,000,000, is spent on maintenance activities such as patching. You believe if the team were to rewrite the application in a modern programming language using a serverless technology approach the team could lower maintenance activities from 80% to 30%. This means that the maintenance costs would decrease from $2 million to $750K each year. Therefore, you can build a financial case that leadership fund a $1.25 million initiative to rewrite the application in a more supportable language and environment, which will pay for itself at the end of the second year. No, I didn't get my math wrong -- don't forget that you're still paying the old costs while developing the new system.) Now if you just did a lift and shift to AWS and ran the servers on EC-2 or ECS, then you still have to patch the instance operating systems, middle ware, and software -- all of which is a non-value add. This means that you won't reduce the maintenance activities from 80% to 30%. Don't waste developer time on these expensive transition activities; you're not going to come out ahead. Now let's instead look at how to make that maintenance go away by switching to a serverless approach. Imagine if the organization rewrote the VMware application to run on either: A third party hosted SaaS platform such as Salesforce or Office 365 or A serverless AWS application consisting of Amazon S3 buckets to handle front-end code, an Amazon API Gateway to make REST API calls to endpoints, AWS Lambda to run code to retrieve information from a Database, and Dynamo DB to store data by the application This new software shift to a serverless architecture means you no longer have to worry about patching operating systems or middleware. It also means developers don't spend time fixing misconfigurations and vulnerabilities at the operating system or middleware level. This means you made the software more secure and gave the developers more time to write new software features which can impact the business profitability. This serverless approach truly is better and more secure. There's a great story from Capital One you can look up in our show notes that discusses how they moved from EC-2 Servers to Lambda for their Credit Offers Application Interface. The executive summary states that the switch to serverless resulted in 70% performance gains, 90% cost savings, and increased team velocity by 30% since time was not spent patching, fixing, and taking care of servers. Capital One uses this newfound developer time to innovate, create, and expand on business requirements. So, if you want to make cheaper, faster, and better software, then focus on reducing maintenance activities that don't add value to the business. Let's recap. World class CISOs create a world class software development organization. They do this by focusing on cheaper, faster, and better software. To perform this function CISOs increase productivity from developers by creating documentation that teaches developers how to build software the right way as well as creating a training program that promotes secure coding practices. World Class CISOs increase the convenience to developers by bringing high-confidence vulnerability lists to developers which means time savings in not weeding out false positives. Developers live in Source Code Repositories such as GitHub or GitLab, not the ten different software security tools that security organizations police. World Class CISOs remove waste by performing value stream exercises to lean out processes and make it easier for developers to be more efficient. Finally, World Class CISOs make software better by changing the legacy architecture with expensive maintenance activities to something that is a winnable game. These CISOs partner with the business to focus on finding systems that when re-architected to become serverless increase performance gains, promote cost savings, and increase developer velocity.

Nick attributes his success to his honest and direct approach that challenges even the most confident orators to rethink how they communicate. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Nick Morgan discuss:Blindspots in communication Some tips on dealing with nerves Overcoming limitations in virtual communications Delegating tasks during a meeting Key Takeaways:Our fear response when communicating is a primordial instinct that is not relevant in our current day anymore. The tribe will not leave you to die to apex predators if you say something the wrong way anymore. Redefine nervousness into a feeling of fun, thrill, or excitement - like lining up for a rollercoaster ride. Virtual communications mess with our senses, and that affects our ability to communicate well and understand others. To combat this, play with the space a bit, use more hand gestures and try not to look at the screen that shows your face. Delegate an MC to keep track of and encourage audience participation in the meeting. It has to be someone other than the speaker, and it would be too much to handle for one person. "All virtual relationships degrade over time; you need to have face-to-face meetings with business folks you have long-term relationships with." — Nick Morgan.

Authoring A Book Elevates Your Status Let's just imagine two people and they both look very professional and they introduce themselves and one says, “Here's who I am. I have all these credentials”. The other person says and I am a published author. That author status elevates you! Get Through The Filter Everyone's filtering all the time as to whom should I believe, whom should I trust and who should I listen to. Everybody wants to get this wisdom to be as successful as possible, whether you're a solopreneur, or have a growing business. Writing A Book Got Me A $500K Contract I was on the women's business graduate advisory board while I was working on a book about strategic alliances with the head of internal alliances at Accenture. I met somebody by the name of Jocelyn Carter Miller. She is well known for successfully bringing Motorola into Latin America and rose to being Vice President Of Motorola Inc. I asked her a very significant question which was, “what's one thing that you haven't done in your career you'd like to do” and she said “I'd like to write a book” So I went back to my publisher Jossey-Bass and shared with them that I'd like to do one about the corporate side of networking. They agreed and we ended up working on the book together. After working with Jocelyn on the book, she asked if I would like to deliver a proposal to come in and work with her to help us look at best practices for building a world-class marketing initiative out of Motorola. I agreed and it ended up being a half a million dollar contract. My passion is about supporting authors as much as I can. The Pie Formula For Writing A Book Easily The crust of the pie is 30% of your book. It's your outline. That's so important that I spend a long time with authors to help them go through the outline All the great ghost writers I've spoken with will tell you that if you create a great outline you can write a great book. Using Amazon Reviews To Research For Your Book Idea One of the best places to research is Amazon. I consider Amazon a million dollar research tool because you can go in there and look at the thousands of categories. I usually recommend moving up from the one star reviews because it will make you feel good. You can look at any fantastic best-selling author example James Clear who wrote Atomic Habits. You can look at his one star reviews and you can see some things that readers wanted but that he failed to cover in his book. You can then write a book that is similar to The James Clear Book, but includes all the topics that he left out. Add 10% Of Your Personality To The Book The final piece of the pie is the garnish. It's going to be all about your personality and that's the final 10 percent. The remaining majority of the pie is your content.

Today I talked to Autumn Wilke of Grinnell College about her book (co-authored with Nancy J. Evans, Ellen M. Broido, and Kirsten R. Brown) Disability in Higher Education: A Social Justice Approach (Jossey-Bass, 2017). Disability in Higher Education examines how disability is conceptualized in higher education and ways in which students, faculty, and staff with disabilities are viewed and served on college campuses. Drawing on multiple theoretical frameworks, research, and experience creating inclusive campuses, this text offers a new framework for understanding disability using a social justice lens. Many institutions focus solely on legal access and accommodation, enabling a system of exclusion and oppression. However, using principles of universal design, social justice, and other inclusive practices, campus environments can be transformed into more inclusive and equitable settings for all constituents. The authors consider the experiences of students, faculty, and staff with disabilities and offer strategies for addressing ableism within a variety of settings, including classrooms, residence halls, admissions and orientation, student organizations, career development, and counseling. They also expand traditional student affairs understandings of disability issues by including chapters on technology, law, theory, and disability services. Using social justice principles, the discussion spans the entire college experience of individuals with disabilities, and avoids any single-issue focus such as physical accessibility or classroom accommodations. The book will help readers: Consider issues in addition to access and accommodation Use principles of universal design to benefit students and employees in academic, cocurricular, and employment settings Understand how disability interacts with multiple aspects of identity and experience. Despite their best intentions, college personnel frequently approach disability from the singular perspective of access to the exclusion of other important issues. This book provides strategies for addressing ableism in the assumptions, policies and practices, organizational structures, attitudes, and physical structures of higher education.

Welcome to The Academic Life! In this episode you'll hear: Why it is so important to have the conversation about “Equity in Higher Education” and why now is the time to do so What equity means; for whom, and what equity entails in thought and action What it means to perform equity as a routine practice in higher education What makes individuals equity minded Today's book is: From Equity Talk to Equity Walk: Expanding Practitioner Knowledge for Racial Justice in Higher Education, draws from campus-based research projects sponsored by the AAC&U and the Center for Urban Education at the University of Southern California. The book is a practical guide on the design and application of campus change strategies for achieving equitable outcomes. The authors offer advice on how to build an equity-minded campus culture aligning strategic priorities and institutional missions to advance equity.

He is a passionate teacher committed to helping people find clarity in their thinking and ideas and then delivering them with panache. Fortune 50 companies have commissioned him to write for many CEOs and presidents. He has coached people to give Congressional testimony, appear on the Today Show, and deliver unforgettable TED talks. He has worked widely with political and educational leaders. And he has himself spoken, led conferences, and moderated panels at venues around the world. His latest book, on virtual communication, is Can You Hear Me? published by Harvard in 2018. Nick's methods, which are well-known for challenging conventional thinking, have been published worldwide. His acclaimed book on public speaking, Working the Room: How to Move People to Action through audience-centered Speaking, was published by Harvard in 2003 and reprinted in paperback in 2005 as Give Your Speech, Change the World: How to Move Your Audience to Action. His book on authentic communications, Trust Me, was published by Jossey-Bass in January 2009. His book on brain science and communication, Power Cues, was published by Harvard in 2014. Nick served as editor of the Harvard Management Communication Letter from 1998 – 2003. In addition, he has written hundreds of articles for local and national publications. Nick is a former Fellow at the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. After earning his PhD. in literature and rhetoric, Nick spent several years teaching Shakespeare and Public Speaking at the University of Virginia, Lehigh University, and Princeton University. He first started writing speeches for Virginia Governor Charles S. Robb and found his own communications consulting organization, Public Words, in 1997. Nick attributes his success to his honest and direct approach that challenges even the most confident orators to rethink how they communicate. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Nick Morgan discuss:Blindspots in communication Some tips on dealing with nerves Overcoming limitations in virtual communications Delegating tasks during a meeting Key Takeaways:Our fear response when communicating is a primordial instinct that is not relevant in our current day anymore. The tribe will not leave you to die to apex predators if you say something the wrong way anymore. Redefine nervousness into a feeling of fun, thrill, or excitement - like lining up for a rollercoaster ride. Virtual communications mess with our senses, and that affects our ability to communicate well and understand others. To combat this, play with the space a bit, use more hand gestures and try not to look at the screen that shows your face. Delegate an MC to keep track of and encourage audience participation in the meeting. It has to be someone other than the speaker, and it would be too much to handle for one person. "All virtual relationships degrade over time; you need to have face-to-face meetings with business folks you have long-term relationships with." — Nick Morgan.

Celine and Stephen look at the seminal work of Margaret Singer: Cults in Our Midst. Now over 25 years old, the book still has important information to tell us about the cult phenomena. Where do Jehovah's Witnesses sit on the Continuum of Influence and Persuasion? The book also prompted Stephen to think about whether we could or should be looking more closely at creating a new taxonomy of different types of High Control Group - or maybe that's already been done! Cults in our Midst Singer, M. T., & Lalich, J. (1995). Cults in our midst. Jossey-Bass.
Nancy Willard's vision is that young people will provide leadership throughout the world to embrace civility and foster positive relations! Nancy entered the field of “bullying prevention” by writing the first book ever published on cyberbullying. She approaches issues of youth risk based on a digital age perspective. Key insight related to this perspective is that the “authoritarian mindset,” which assumes that adults are in control, is not well founded. Nancy and I discuss how she got to this point and her approaches. Her approach to youth risk prevention recognizes that in the digital age it is necessary for adults to empower young people with the values and skills to embrace civility. To help young people foster positive relationships requires a focus on the quality of the school climate, empowering young people with the values and skills necessary to foster positive relationships, and ensuring that when adults intervene in hurtful situations this results in an effective resolution that fully supports all involved students. Nancy has degrees in special education and law, taught “at risk” children, practiced computer law, and was an educational technology and digital safety consultant. She also experienced intense bullying as a teen. She is the author of: Cyberbullying and Cyberthreats: Responding to the Challenge of Online Social Cruelty, Threats, and Distress (2007, Research Press) and Cyber-Safe Kids, Cyber-Savvy Teens, Helping Young People Use the Internet Safety and Responsibly (2007, Jossey Bass). Cyber Savvy: Embracing Digital Safety and Civility (2011, Corwin Press). Be sure to check out Nancy's work!

This episode discusses the positive and negative ways money and politics connect and the means to organize money through politics so it serves human flourishing. Democratic politics has always involved a struggle to ensure money serves people rather than people serving money. The paradox is that, to do so, democratic politics necessities not just organizing people, but also organizing, or better, re-organizing money. The conversation in this episode about organizing money has two sides to it. The first is how to hold dominant centers of economic power - whether in the market or the state - accountable for the use and distribution of that power. The second is how to fundraise to pay for the work of doing democratic politics in ways that are independent of patronage by either the state or the wealthy. This second aspect of the discussion focuses on the difference between 'hard' money that is raised from members, and 'soft' money that comes from grants and foundations, and the tensions between them.GuestsJanet Hirsch is a leader with the IAF affiliate One LA through her participation in her synagogue, Temple Isaiah where she is the Vice President of Social Justice and sits on the Executive Committee of the Temple Isaiah Board.
