Agree totally, cultural reset strategies and leading exemplars will groom a path that gets more employees centered on this challenge

Experimentation at the core requires architectures like microservices, and I know it's something @danhushon is passionate about — particularly as we transform from legacy to hybrid to cloud.

@RCinterests To that point it's important to note that innovation isn't something that needs to be centralised; it should be in your company's DNA — which is the whole idea behind @DXCTechnology, "The Digital Transformation Company"

with operational data mining (ODM) we end up doing lots of small experiments, but the incremental gains add up to a big difference

@samj we need to move from ITOps->DevOps toward NoOps quickly and teach our clients the value, microservices is just one of the friction [and consistency] improvers

I'm not sure how to implement, but I'm a huge fan of sandboxes--and setting them up to allow day to day users a safe place to accidentally "break" a new system.

I think breaking you core assets into smaller parts, allowing you to compose new services and let other compose new services based on your assets is an interesting way to go

great opportunity to plug the #DXC #OpenSourceProgram - over the years we've been able to encourage experimentation and reduce risk

Most organizations need to design a safe and robust experimentation system into which experiments are conducted. @Google is one example of mainline, MS Power BI has a monthly release cycle and an ongoing idea positing/voting system - another

The greatest risk to Enterprises today, is to NOT be adventurous enough with your innovation programme.

@RCinterests freedom to experiment needs support: as in #OmniChannel #Insurance - thanks!

For everyone: an overview of our open source program--one place to get started: http://www.dxc.technology/opensource

ITOps->DevOps->NoOps — word of the day /via @DanHushon (and yes, there's plenty of shiny things to distract you with DevOps *cough*containers*cough* so keeping an eye on the NoOps goal is a good idea)

@LoganWilt #docker #containers - crunch all you like, we'll make more :-)

Ok this: http://www.dxc.technology/innovation/insights/112737-dxc_and_opensource @DXCTechnology

@sukhigill I think you are absolutely right ... if a company does NOT experiment in their core systems they set them selves up for failure..

one of the first things people have to be confident in is that they can go back - quickly, once that happens experimentation becomes a much lower risk activity... #DigitalRecipes/CI/CD reality

API-enable the core, consume from the ecosystem, mash up at the persona/UX level, deploy and learn

How to safely experiment within your organisation? I'm going to suggest that it's a good idea to look at your landscape before tinkering / building APIs / making radical changes / restructuring.

@bwallac5 you mean API enable your information as information a market without volume/fluidity isn't viable. API's provide information exchange at machine speeds and scale

@sukhigill We also need to avoid celebrating failure — tolerate and learn from it for sure, but also avoid it if you can.

@DanHushon Yup. API is a route to a resource, which is useful when it contributes to an outcome. In a digital world, resources manifest as information

@swardley I think mapping out what part of your core business is actually in the "city Planners"area of the map might be a good indication of what you want to integrate from somewhere else ..

semantic technologies to make data more contextual

absolutely... triples and quad as the value of information is in it's linkages more than the entities themselves

Blockchain is going to disrupt many industries outside finance.

even #distributedledger will have a disruptive effect

@mcsausen If we have time I'll talk briefly about some work we're doing around blockchain in banking and insurance.

using machine vision and machine learning to massively reduce traffic jams....

@mcsausen @samj +1 for #blockchain tech for #disintermediation and secure tracking of digital assets of all kinds

I'll also throw out augmented reality and the impact to healthcare and manufacturing.

@Spithout #tensorflow + what else?

intelligence at the edge, greengrass - anything that distributes a coordinated core

@samj @danhushon #blockchain for #ProofOfOwnership of the car

@Faisal_Siddiqi or anything for that matter

openCV, smart camera's and integration into a cloud platform to act on what we detect roadside...

I think edge services related to #IoT are going to become very interesting.

Really fascinated embedded wearables and brain machine interfaces

totally agree with @glennaugustus, Edge Computing will be the "Steam Engine" of the next industrial revolution!

Making all of these #weaponsofmassdestruction usable resources at the fingertips of industry personas...moving from experiment to business impact

@samj This is an interesting effort I've been following for a while using #blockchain for object storage.. https://storj.io/

@mcsausen @samj storj is local to #atlanta where I live, #chainpoint is brilliant: https://github.com/c...

I would like to see us develop or adapt a product recommender model leveraging "outside in" customer data to enhance the probability of success when targeting our offerings to our clients.

@Tony_Puerto We're beginning to work with @flamingoCX around guided selling in insurance

depends upon what you mean by "innovation" - three distinct types 1) creation of novel and new 2) feature differentiation of existing 3) shift of pre-existing products to a utility ... all have different characteristics, different mechanisms governing.

the most powerful change is always the type 3) - the shift from product to utility because it enables higher order systems (the adjacent possible), co-evolution of practice (e.g. devops) and very specific ecosystem models (e.g. ILC).

of the biggest type 3) changing going on at the moment, it has to be serverless. Everything below the line (i.e. below code execution platforms) will trend towards invisible, an entire new set of practice will co-evolve (mix development + finance).

@swardley I would state the biggest inhibitor to innovation and its adoption is the cultural change an organisation needs embrace. Each of the different types, impact an aspect of the business which needs to be willing / wanting to change.

@ckinson Cutural change is being forced on the enterprise as the new workforce enters ala Outside In.

@mcsausen Nothing like the unaffiliated, but interested to provide input that should absolutely be taken into the innovation chambers for prioritization consideration

@swardley what about "translational innovation" shifting industry/context to a similar differentiated result?

I can't think of an example which doesn't fit into those three categories ... that's probably bias, any suggestions?
