[SAMPLE MATERIALS] Exploration x Design presents Creative Facilitation Exploration x Design
Design Thinking is a process for problem solving through creative methodologies. Facilitators are required at every step of the process in order to focus the project team on specific tasks. The role of facilitator is not project management or a directorship.
In many ways, Creative Facilitation inverses how we learn. Instead of presenting material and instructing participants to absorb and memorize; creative facilitation asks participants to provide content from their own understanding and experiences. Participants are challenged to learn from eachother by working in small groups of diverse skills, backgrounds and abilities. They have to create something through creative activities and collaboration.
This 2-hour workshop provides the following:
- Planning a Creative Work Session
- Case Study & Discussion: Examples of Ideation Sessions
- Principles of Creative Facilitation
- Activity: Planning Your Next Session
- Q&A

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

7. TIPS FOR DELEGATING
EFFECTIVELY
• Recognize the capabilities of your staff.
• Focus on results. Let go of any urge to dictate how
tasks should be accomplished
• Use delegation on develop the skills of your staff
or to position people favorably with senior
management
• Delegate to the lowest possible level.
• Explain assignments clearly, and provide the
resources needed for successful completion.
• Provide feedback to your staff and support them
through their mistakes

8. IDENTIFY & PRIORITIZE YOUR
PERSONAL GOALS
• Articulate critical and enabling goals.
• Prioritize those goals and break them into tasks.
• Use a daily log to understand how you currently
spend your time and the extent to which
unimportant activity crowds out the things that
really matter to you.
• Schedule priority tasks, leaving enough time
open for unanticipated situations and
opportunities.
