This document summarizes a case study of a 40-year-old male patient presenting with right-sided ataxic hemiparesis and oral and genital ulcerations. MRI scans showed hyperintense lesions in the midbrain, thalamus, and pons, suggesting demyelination along the corticospinal tract. The clinical and radiological findings were consistent with neuro-Behcet syndrome, a condition characterized by inflammation of blood vessels in the central nervous system. Pathological studies of lesions from neuro-Behcet syndrome patients support a pathogenesis involving small vessel vasculitis, predominantly of veins. The selective involvement of corticospinal fibers in this case can be explained by the inflammatory process affecting

Cloud computing is presented as a disruptive technology that allows software and services to be delivered over the web without installing servers or software. The concept of "neo-nomads" working remotely from various locations like coffee shops is also mentioned.
The document summarizes a presentation on the Met Police's digital transformation projects and migrating services to the cloud. It discusses how the Met Police aims to empower officers with digital tools to reduce paperwork and access information from any device. This allows them to focus on priority work. The transformation was large but shows other police forces can also modernize. The Met engaged staff and customers. Migrating to the Episerver cloud on Microsoft Azure provides scalability, security and cost benefits. The presentation emphasizes that we are in a time of great change, and organizations must adapt to survive.
The document summarizes key points from the Episerver Ascend - 2016 conference. It discusses the Metropolitan Police's digital transformation projects to empower officers with accessible digital tools. This allows them to focus on priority work instead of paperwork. The Met migrated systems to Episerver's cloud platform on Microsoft Azure for scalability, security and simplified pricing. The keynote speaker discussed how organizations must adapt to the era of rapid technological change and the "fourth industrial revolution." He noted the new generation is always connected and thinks differently. Innovation is key to survival, while inaction can severely impact company profits. Brands must earn attention by engaging audiences with personalized experiences instead of one-size-fits-all campaigns.
The document outlines a proposal from the Icelandic Ministry of Ideas to prototype Iceland as a laboratory for developing a sustainable model society. It proposes that Iceland, with its small population, democratic history, and infrastructure reboot following its financial crisis, is uniquely positioned. The Ministry of Ideas invites world leaders to participate in prototyping new approaches to democracy, economy, currency, and energy in Iceland as inspiration for a new world model of sustainability. It presents Iceland as having the necessary resources and conditions to serve as a global test bed.
This document discusses the evolution of knowledge workers and knowledge management. Knowledge management 1.0 focused too heavily on rigid processes, tools and centralized control. However, knowledge management 2.0 focuses more on people, encourages collaboration, shares information freely and allows knowledge work to occur anywhere. For knowledge workers to thrive, organizations need a culture shift where information is openly shared, risk-taking is celebrated and knowledge work is not confined within strict boundaries.
This is my presentation from the IIM National Conference on 15 August 2007. I'm hoping to cause a little bit of a stir and push a few people out of their comfort zones.

Robert Clay: Valued Based Curation in a Volume Based WorldLike Minds
The document describes how the author achieved market leadership in their 20s through creativity and curation. They started businesses developing new corrosion prevention methods and glass sunroofs for cars. Through curating step-by-step processes and gaining approvals, their businesses grew rapidly. They later built an extensive marketing knowledgebase and artificial intelligence system containing over 3.5 million pages of notes organized like a mind map. The system helps people deal with information overload by rapidly finding and presenting relevant information.
This document discusses challenges faced by very small businesses (VSSMEs) in Scotland. It notes that 93% of Scotland's companies are micro-businesses with fewer than 10 employees. Many of these VSSMEs are aiming to work globally through digital means, but their operations are moving faster than large public sectors in Scotland. This creates a dilemma for VSSMEs on whether to stay in Scotland for convenience or move elsewhere for more revenue opportunities and cheaper tax regimes. The challenges faced by VSSMEs come from how connected micro-companies now operate at a faster pace than traditional large organizations and public sectors.
The document discusses strategies for innovation in a volatile environment. It emphasizes developing both operational capability for short-term success and dynamic capability for long-term relevance. It provides a framework for dynamic capability that involves creating an idea dump, using future casting/scenario planning tools, and commercializing innovations through the VRIO model to test if the innovation provides sustained competitive advantage. The goal is to challenge old approaches and change strategies to survive and thrive in today's uncertain world.
This document outlines key factors to consider when evaluating a potential business opportunity:
- The product idea should address a market need and take advantage of technological or market discontinuities. Execution is more important than being first.
- The market size and growth rate should be sufficiently large. Barriers to entry like intellectual property protection, network effects, and business model innovation must be considered.
- The founding team must have relevant experience and the ability to recruit talent. Sufficient capital is needed but excessive funding can be risky.
- The economic model, risks, and business plan must demonstrate a viable path to profitability and returns for investors. Bootstrapping may work if the market is small with no dominant competitors
My presentation from the Reglab 2010 ThinkTank Workshop in Stockholm in November 2010, http://www.reglab.se/reglab/braingain-reglabs-forsta-framsynsseminarium
This document discusses architecting value by understanding systems and frameworks. It emphasizes that businesses are systems, not models, and strategies are about adapting to changing systems through tactical actions like "pokes" informed by flexible frameworks. Architecting value involves designing frameworks to understand how to change systems and execute strategies to create value in business ecosystems.
How to get from here to there: An action agendaScott McLeod
This document outlines an action agenda for navigating technological change. It recommends 1) increasing understanding of how technology is changing society, 2) promoting effective change agents rather than just scaring people, and 3) conquering fear of change through investing in smart infrastructure and embracing an anticipatory leadership approach rather than managing compliance. The overall message is that technology is compressing societal change at an unprecedented rate and schools must adapt how and what they teach to better prepare students.

STKI Israeli Market Study 2023 corrected forecast 2023_24 v3.pdfDr. Jimmy Schwarzkopf
The document appears to be a presentation from STKI IT Knowledge Integrators on the state of Israel's economy and IT market following the outbreak of war in October 2023. It includes data and forecasts from various sources on how the war has negatively impacted Israel's GDP, business activity, and key industries. The original forecast predicted growth in Israel's IT market from 2018-2024, but the forecast has been corrected downward due to the unforeseen economic damage from the war, with the IT market now expected to decline in 2023 and 2024 compared to 2022 levels.
The document describes STKI, an IT market research and strategic analyst firm based in Israel. Over its 31 years in business, STKI has established relationships with major IT organizations and vendors through thousands of annual interviews. STKI uses an equilibrium model to analyze both what users purchase from vendors and what vendors sell, in order to determine the overall Israeli IT market size. The company provides research reports, briefings, and workshops to clients on topics like technology trends, industry surveys, and vendor positioning.
This document is a presentation by STKI IT Knowledge Integrators on their 2023 Israel IT Market Study. It provides information on STKI's methodology, which uses an equilibrium model to calculate the IT market size based on interviews with both technology users and vendors. It outlines the types of research and services STKI provides on topics like IT trends, budgets, forecasts, and vendor positioning. The presentation also includes sections on the Israeli economy, changing business environment, and factors impacting the CIO role. Slides are included on Israeli company statistics and examples of STKI's vendor positioning analysis.
This document discusses communication and collaboration in product-led organizations. It covers topics like internal collaboration, collaboration challenges, collaboration tools, and collaboration overload. It also discusses the human factors of product-led organizations like empowering teams, keeping people interested and informed, and addressing issues like the great resignation and quiet quitting. The overall document provides insights into improving collaboration and communication in product-led companies.
The document discusses the evolution of the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) role over time. It describes how the OCIO started as an "order taker" for IT in the 1990s (OCIO v1). In the 2000s, the OCIO was established to better align IT with business needs (OCIO v2). Later, business relationship managers (BRMs) were introduced to improve customer experience but acted as bottlenecks (2017-2022). The document argues for a product-led organization where product teams are empowered and the OCIO acts as an enabler by providing resources and skills to product managers based on product success metrics.
This document discusses platform teams and platform engineering. It introduces platform products as products that can be easily used by other teams to focus on business problems while maintaining standards. Platform engineering is defined as designing and building toolchains and workflows that enable self-service capabilities for other teams. Platform products have functionality above the surface that developers see, and infrastructure components below the surface. Integration platforms, SRE, SASE, storage and backup tools, and micro frontends are discussed as examples of platform products.
This document discusses transitioning from a project-led organization to a product-led organization. It notes that while many companies have tried approaches like agile, digital transformation and design thinking, software projects still often fail to deliver user satisfaction. It advocates empowering product teams to own the entire product lifecycle and giving them autonomy to solve problems, rather than managing software development as a series of projects. This approach mirrors how successful startups operate and can help deliver better customer outcomes.
This document discusses transforming from data projects to data products. It outlines how companies can adopt a product mindset and focus on creating data products that solve specific customer problems. Key aspects include defining data product teams led by data product managers, adopting a product mindset of focusing on outcomes rather than outputs, and using storytelling to communicate insights from data products. The presentation argues that treating data as a product can create competitive advantages and that every company may need to become a data science company in the future.
This document discusses product discovery and the importance of making the process data-driven. It recommends gathering customer data from various sources, analyzing the customer experience, and using product analytics tools to obtain both quantitative and qualitative insights. This will help ensure ideas are validated with real customers before significant development work begins. The goal is to learn fast through discovery while still releasing products with confidence.
The document discusses content from STKI, an IT knowledge integration company, including information about their new website and content examples. It covers topics like digital disruption, the four industrial revolutions, predictions for 2023 in Israel, and how every company will need to become a software company. Across multiple pages, it provides definitions, predictions, recommendations, and perspectives on challenges and opportunities brought about by digital transformation and the fourth industrial revolution.
The document is a slide deck from STKI, an Israeli market research and strategic analyst firm, discussing the impact of global events on IT budgets in Israel in 2022-2024. It notes that while IT budget increases were forecasted to be large in 2022, events like the war in Ukraine, inflation, interest rate hikes, and political instability have changed the outlook. IT budgets in Israel are still expected to rise 12-13% in 2022 but forecasts beyond that are difficult given uncertainties. Digital transformation alone is no longer sufficient - companies must undergo smart business transformations to deliver personalized, data-driven experiences to customers.
This document appears to be from an annual IT market study presentation by STKI IT Knowledge Integrators. It includes an agenda for the presentation covering the 2022 IT market study results, enterprise budgets, economic forecasting signals, top vendors, and a post-COVID world. The presentation contains many slides with graphs, charts, and text analyzing the Israeli IT market and global economic conditions. It discusses challenges in forecasting 2023-2024 given various political and economic uncertainties globally and in Israel.
The document provides information about STKI IT Knowledge Integrators, a market research and strategic analyst firm in Israel. It includes pages describing STKI's services, methodology, research focus areas, and client base. STKI conducts original research through face-to-face interviews and surveys of both technology users and vendors to establish an equilibrium model of the Israeli IT market. The document contains sample slides of the type of data and positioning analyses STKI provides to clients.
This document provides an overview of the 2022 STKI IT Knowledge Integrators summit. It discusses how global events have impacted the previously optimistic outlook for IT budgets in 2022, noting issues like rising inflation, economic recession, war in Ukraine, and layoffs in the tech sector. However, it predicts that Israeli IT budgets will still rise 12-13% in 2022. It also covers STKI's services, research methodology, vendor positioning approach, and includes data about Israel's population, mobile/internet usage, and 5G penetration.

In this session we will discuss how next generation business applications enable the
creation of much needed hyper-personalized experiences for customers and employees.
Center Office is a new delivery model that is emerging in response to the need to deliver
end to end hyper-personalized solutions that improve on older enterprise (legacy)
applications. Center Office relies on technologies such as APIs, microservices and
Hyperautomation (next level of automation that meshes AI tools with RPA,, enabling
scaling for complex business processes).
How do we manage employees' experiences as well as preserve talent and create
collaborative workplaces for teams? which new skills are needed? what will the
workforce of the future look like? Which new tools are needed for HR (employee well-
being)?
Recommended for CDOs and all Data & Analytics Managers
The past 2 years have had a huge impact on organizations journeys to become data driven. Existing data architectures were disrupted; rigid structures and processes were questioned, and many data strategies were re-written.
On the one hand, the global pandemic emphasized the need for organizations to raise the bar, implement strategies, improve data literacy and culture, increase investments in data and analytics, and explore AI opportunities.
On the other, it also presented new challenges such as: the war for data talent and the wide literacy gap. Inadequate structures as well as outdated processes were exposed. Major changes in the data landscape (Data Fabric, Data Mesh, Transition to Data Clouds) will further disrupt existing data architectures and enhance the need for a new adaptive architecture and organization.
Recommended for CTOs, architects, IT Managers
COVID-19 has emphasized the fact that business agility and hence technology agility are the most if not the only factors for business success. However, technology agility in most IT departments is not the “strongest muscle”. Technology adoption of Cloud, Devops, Integration, Low-Code and Zero Trust are affecting all IT departments and even the entire organization. New
processes and relationships between the various branches of the IT department should emerge, forsaking old habits and technologies. New technologies and roles\responsibilities are taking their place.
Recommended for CXOs and all IT Managers
If COVID-19 has demonstrated anything it is that organizations can no longer rely on traditional long-term strategic direction-setting, in order to succeed and grow. Today, organizations need to be able to quickly identify changes and respond with speed.
Adaptive enterprises have the technical and organizational agility to do this. In this session, we will present the organizational structure, technologies and concepts that make up an adaptive organization and discuss topics such as: Concierge hyper-personalization services; Personalized (PBC) Business Capabilities; adaptive organizational structure; Centers of Excellence; center office; hyper-automation and data centric organizations.
STKI Israeli it market study 2021 revised V2 2 2 slides per page Dr. Jimmy Schwarzkopf
The document discusses the findings of an Israeli IT market study conducted by STKI in 2021. It notes that COVID-19 accelerated changes in how IT services are delivered to satisfy new delivery scenarios. The study analyzed trends like the remote-first, data, and passion economies that emerged from the pandemic. The key finding is that the most enduring impact of COVID-19 will be as an "implementation accelerant", forcing faster implementations of technologies to deliver value immediately. The document provides background on STKI and outlines the methodology used in the 2021 market study.

This blog aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of insider security threats, including their types, examples, effects, and mitigation techniques.
Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of TimeAurora Consulting
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?
** Episode Overview **
In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss:
⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality?
⦿ Why is patent quality important?
⦿ How to balance quality and budget
⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise
⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications

123. METAweb REVOLUTION
4The real, long-term change is just beginning to be felt,
and anyone thinking about our economic future should

• even the smallest companies can now have as big a

The revolution may have started in a garage in California
but it has already crossed every border
moving as freely
around the globe as a cloud
