Real-World AI - How to Use
it Now for Real Advantage
Presented by Geoffrey De Smet, Principal Software
Engineer and OptaPlanner Lead at Red Hat
Artificial intelligence is gaining a foothold in many
enterprises today, with promises to unlock secrets hidden in mountains of
enterprise data, revolutionize business efficiency and free workers from
mundane, repetitive tasks. But artificial intelligence is a very broad category
of technical solutions. How do we apply it to solve actual problems, and what
types of AI deliver quick, measurable results?
In this webinar, Geoffrey De Smet will
explore one common type of problem, and the application of AI to find solutions
that are virtually impossible to determine by other means. Enterprises in every
industry frequently encounter the problem of optimizing resource usage. Whether
it's routing and scheduling a fleet of maintenance vehicles and workers,
creating a shift roster for hundreds of staff, or optimizing inventory in
complex supply chains, all these planning problems have one thing in common:
they reward those who can find the best solution with outstanding competitive
advantage.
Join us to learn how organizations are
using Red Hat's Decision Manager to solve their most challenging problems
through optimization of their key resources. We'll cover:
Different types of optimization problems
and how to tackle them
Why optimization is so hard, and the
value of getting it right
Real world examples for vehicle routing
and maintenance scheduling

Scrum Teams Are
Self-Organizing. Get Over it.
Presented by David Sabine
In this Scrum
Pulse webinar, Professional Scrum Trainer David Sabine will examine
self-organization in teams and explore examples of self-organization in the
workplace. David’s premise is simple: Scrum Teams are self-organizing. He
asserts that is not a statement of preference or intention; rather, it is a
statement of objective fact.
Scrum is among a
very small number of frameworks which acknowledge that
self-organization is natural. Scrum asserts that the quality of decisions
increases when stakeholders collaborate with and trust the wisdom of their
teams. The opposite is also true: Scrum’s design implies that common
misbehaviors of managers (intervention, command & control) have costly
consequences. This webinar will help you learn strategies to better manage the
work environment to support Scrum Teams and enable successful
self-organization.
Join us. Strong opinions are welcome.

Are You Prepared For The BA
Apocalypse?
Presented by: Joanne Dong, Founder, JDStream Management
Consulting Inc.
Stefan Bossuwé CBAP, President
IIBA Brussels Chapter
Kevin Brennanm Product Management
and Leadership Consultant
Adrian Reed CBAP, Principal
Consultant and Director at Blackmetric Business Solutions
Few would doubt that we live in a fast-moving business
environment. Technologies including automation, Artificial Intelligence (AI)
and Machine Learning are impacting many traditional roles. As business analysts
we need to be constantly seeking to adapt else our careers will face
significant uncertainty.
Imagine a world in five or ten years where:
·
Draft business rules can be intelligently read from legislation and systemised
·
Tools can
‘discover’ information about business processes from raw text and static
artifacts
·
A ‘Chat bot’ can
ask a stakeholder a series of questions to determine their basic needs
These examples might seem far-fetched
but bear in mind that even today business people are already creating
applications with low-code / citizen-app development platforms with very little
or no intervention of BA’s (nor developers for that matter). And expect those
platforms to become more powerful and easier to use in the coming years, which
implies that business will require less BA intervention even in more complex
applications.
These tools could either be a valuable
addition to a BA’s toolkit or a threat -- and we have the choice to decide
which they will be. However, with increasing commoditization and automation of
the ‘scribing’ of solution requirements, how do we plan and prepare to protect
our careers?
