• Situation Normal, Everything Must Change

  by Simon Wardley

  Life is all about competition whether nation states, organisations or individuals. This competition invokes a process of evolution and whilst the future cannot be predicted with any certainty, patterns are emerging. Two of the latest patterns include the use of ecosystems in the warfare between organisations and how open source is increasingly becoming deployed as a tactical weapon. This talk will explore these patterns, the underlying process of evolution, the new management practices that are appearing and the importance of big data in this new environment.

• Evolution, Not Revolution

  by Michael Nelson and Simon Wardley

  Big Data is often seen as a disruptor. But for many established businesses, it’s a rejuvenator. In this closing panel, members of the Strata JumpStart faculty reflect on the day’s proceedings, and set the stage for turning Big Data tools into augmented workers, building businesses that blend the best of human and machine.
