A mature and lively community with a clear vision of the future Guidance to market awareness for projects Preservation of the spirit of open-source A community of friends
10Y LATER - FIRST STAGE
Open source awareness Open source competence Open source leadership Projects (SpagoBI > Knowage)
LESSONS LEARNED
Open source is a path, not a destination: it reinvents relationships and business dynamics it give access to a wide network of contacts.
Don’t skip to the end of the path walk the path
Take the leadership Introduce actionable activities Be agile Give (and justify) tangible results Be a driver for change
expect resistance to cultural change commit people to make things happen collective benefits are more valuable than personal benefits
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
TECHNOLOGICAL DISRUPTION IN WORKPLACES
ALGORITHMS
CHALLENGES, UNCERTAINTY, LOSS OF CONFIDENCE
• Infrastructures • Digital transformation • Analytics
THOUGHTS
INFRASTRUCTURES IT users looks for fully integrated and simple-to-use products Open source is key, but usability and integration are more important
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION change of mindset, data-driven culture
CONNECTED PEOPLE & OBJECTS standards, security, privacy, …
DIGITAL BUSINESS opportunity-oriented initiatives bottom-up experimentation data discovery, agile development and immediate use hackatons, sandboxes, fablabs exploration and innovation tactical/rensponsive approaches
PROBLEMS
A system of values and moral principles to conduct digital interactions among people, business and things
IP (sharing) for software IP (protection) for analytics
DEEP LEARNING IS CREATING COMPUTER SYSTEMS
WE DON’T FULLY UNDERSTAND
ALGORITHMS
Replicate people bias and cannot be biased Embed traditional (and new) evils of social discrimination Generally black-boxes
TRADEGY OF THE ALGORITHMIC COMMONS
DATA-DRIVEN CULTURE MEANS A CHANGE OF MINDSET AND BEHAVIORS
OVER
STEWARDSHIP
FACILITATION
SHARING
CURATION
ETHICS
OWNERSHIP
CONTROL
SECURING
GOVERNANCE
LEGALITIES
TRUST
NO PROGRESS WITHOUT TRUST shared resources
relationships and network NO SHARING WITHOUT TRUST
WHAT’S THE TRUSTWORTHY THRESHOLD WE CAN ACCEPT?
TRADE-OFF
ETHICAL DILEMMA
SOCIAL DILEMMA
WHAT’S THE TRADE-OFF?
ROLE OF OSS
“Which approaches and real opportunities do we need to adopt in order to lead the business and technological innovation towards a new
knowledge-intensive way of producing and living?”
