microXchg 2017: "Microservices: The People and Organisational Impact"Daniel Bryant
Microservices are where it's at. Everything is easier to manage when it's micro, right? Micro code bases (less than 10 LOC), micro containers (less than 10Mb), and micro teams (less than one person???). 'Micro' things may appear to be easier to manage, but there is always a macro context, and working with people and teams is no exception. This talk presents some of the challenges the OpenCredo team have seen when implementing microservices within a range of organisations, and we'll suggest tricks and techniques to help you manage your 'micro' teams and the 'macro' level.
Topics covered include: empathy - because understanding others is at the heart of everything you do; leadership - advice on creating shared understanding, conveying strategy, and developing your team; organisational structure - from Zappos' holocracy to MegaOrg's strict hierarchy, from Spotify's squads, chapters and guilds, to BigCorp's command and control. There is a management style for everybody; and more

PILOT User Research and UX Design Solutions Report David Delgadø
For my final project at General Assembly, I had the opportunity to work with PILOT, a turn-key solution that enables organizations to retain their best people. I was tasked with creating an experience that encouraged, enabled, and held users accountable to the career goals they laid out for themselves in their initial job health assessment. At the conclusion of the project, I was hired by PILOT to implement the solution I proposed and be a key member of the product development team.

Elements and enablers: how to develop an operator IoT ecosystemomarvl
In the battle to establish leadership in the IoT, ecosystems
will ultimately be the competitive unit.
There are three main levers for building a successful
IoT ecosystem – an IoT platform, market
expectation and network effects. Of these, market
expectation and network effects will be particularly
critical. The way in which operators use
these two levers will be the key to differentiating
their ecosystems successfully.
