This document provides guidance on funding options for IoT projects versus businesses. It notes that projects are discrete with ROI unimportant, and should seek customers, grants or crowdfunding. Businesses require a sustainable organization with clear ROI focus, and could pursue customers, grants or equity investment from friends/family, angels or venture capital. The golden rule of funding is to obtain £1 of customer cash for every £10 of investor funding. Venture funding is a last resort that requires understanding investor behaviors and pitching business lines over individual ideas or products. Useful sources of grants, crowdfunding and other funding information are provided.

Have you ever been the last to know something in your company? You were caught off guard when a few employees didn’t agree with your company’s direction, or you had no idea that a senior employee had put in her two weeks notice. As a business owner, CEO or manager, you never want to be the last to know something in your company. In this talk, Claire will discuss how to avoid “being the last to know” as much as possible. You’ll learn a repeatable framework so you can get honest feedback from your employees. This way, you won’t be blind sided by unexpected problems, you can retain you best employees, and you can foster a healthy company culture to help your business win in the long-run.

Growth and Arrogance vs. The Power of a Customer Centric Culture Every fast-growing organization experiences growing pains. The most difficult and complex challenge for leadership is maintaining an excellent experience as the business scales. Customer centricity is easy for a small startup; the company’s founders are often intimately involved in every key customer engagement. However, when meeting sales quotas, achieving profit margins, and running your business by the metrics becomes more important than delighting your customers, you stop hearing about customer complaints simply because you don’t see them anymore, and your entire business is at risk. Your customers become easy targets for the competition and your positive momentum in the market slows. In this session, Art Papas shares his journey as founder and CEO of Bullhorn—a company that has grown extremely rapidly to more than 500 employees and nearly $100 million in revenue. He’ll discuss how he refocused his company’s culture back on customer service after facing a similar struggle, and how leaders of organizations can leverage his hard-earned lessons to position their businesses for long-term growth. This session will offer actionable takeaways to help attendees create an incredible customer experience within their own organizations.

Joe discusses why managing an effective external board for your organisation starts with understanding and managing your own internal board. Your mind has a number of relatively discrete and often conflicting subpersonalities affecting how you come to decisions. The strongest personalities change in the moment. Understanding which personality is speaking and the history that informs them, helps you to understand why they give the advice they do. You can learn to manage your mind, the voices you amplify and control in different contexts. The same is true for external boards – each member comes with unique history and perspective. Joe shares how understanding your inner board allows you to manage your board’s voices, amplify the right voices at the right time and know when you need to find new input. https://businessofsoftware.org/events/europe-2024/five-traits-of-a-modern-ceo/

Do you know what the top five regrets of the dying are? Wishing you had worked harder, surprisingly, isn’t on the list. Eleanor will discuss the importance of discovering one’s true purpose as a key step in the way to long-term fulfillment. In this interactive session, (pens and paper provided…), she will challenge you to consider your own personal history, how it has shaped your identity and values and show how understanding that can help you lead a more meaningful life. Living a life that aligns with your values can be hard when you may have concerns about the opinions of others. Aside from the value individuals take from understanding their purpose, or ‘why’, in the workplace, more engaged and self-aware employees are happier, more engaged, productive and creative in the workplace – if your company values are aligned with theirs. https://businessofsoftware.org/events/europe-2024/dr-eleanor-gunn-the-top-five-regrets-of-the-dying-what-you-can-do-now/

How well do you know your best customers? Why do they choose your solution over all the others? Reality check – most of us guess. Knowing what to focus on is hard.

Claire will show you how to match your product experience with real customer needs. Your teams will be better equipped and more focused to unlock product growth and revenue. You’ll learn: - Why identifying your best customers unlocks your product growth strategy. - How to use what customers value to reverse engineer your ideal product experience. - How to identify your leading indicators of success (which will more effectively influence your lagging KPIs like your free/trial to paid % & MRR growth). - How to spot success gaps in your customer experience your team can fill. https://businessofsoftware.org/events/europe-2024/claire-suellentrop-how-to-operationalise-customer-value-to-maximize-product-growth/

Talk about the misuse of AI and the dangers it could bring if not used properly, focusing attention on the wrong things. Keeping humans at the center of the technology, not to replace. “We are in 2107 years in the future, we are looking back in time to warn 2024 of the misuse of AI. We have 2 billion less of the population, water levels rose and took land, harvest and some technology away from us and not everyone survived or knew how to do everything you do in the present. We should have worked together more, we do now. We could have focused on the right things to use AI for rather than to help the rich stay rich and live longer. We appreciate what value people can offer rather than making them redundant.” - Mike 🙂

With more memory available, system performance of three Dell devices increased, which can translate to a better user experience Conclusion When your system has plenty of RAM to meet your needs, you can efficiently access the applications and data you need to finish projects and to-do lists without sacrificing time and focus. Our test results show that with more memory available, three Dell PCs delivered better performance and took less time to complete the Procyon Office Productivity benchmark. These advantages translate to users being able to complete workflows more quickly and multitask more easily. Whether you need the mobility of the Latitude 5440, the creative capabilities of the Precision 3470, or the high performance of the OptiPlex Tower Plus 7010, configuring your system with more RAM can help keep processes running smoothly, enabling you to do more without compromising performance.

Sara Mae O’Brien Scott and Tatiana Baquero Cakici, Senior Consultants at Enterprise Knowledge (EK), presented “AI Fast Track to Search-Focused AI Solutions” at the Information Architecture Conference (IAC24) that took place on April 11, 2024 in Seattle, WA. In their presentation, O’Brien-Scott and Cakici focused on what Enterprise AI is, why it is important, and what it takes to empower organizations to get started on a search-based AI journey and stay on track. The presentation explored the complexities of enterprise search challenges and how IA principles can be leveraged to provide AI solutions through the use of a semantic layer. O’Brien-Scott and Cakici showcased a case study where a taxonomy, an ontology, and a knowledge graph were used to structure content at a healthcare workforce solutions organization, providing personalized content recommendations and increasing content findability. In this session, participants gained insights about the following: Most common types of AI categories and use cases; Recommended steps to design and implement taxonomies and ontologies, ensuring they evolve effectively and support the organization’s search objectives; Taxonomy and ontology design considerations and best practices; Real-world AI applications that illustrated the value of taxonomies, ontologies, and knowledge graphs; and Tools, roles, and skills to design and implement AI-powered search solutions.
