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

• Analytics

14. 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

15. 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

16. 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

17. TRADEGY OF THE ALGORITHMIC COMMONS

18. DATA-DRIVEN CULTURE MEANS A CHANGE OF MINDSET AND BEHAVIORS

SOCIAL DILEMMA
WHAT’S THE TRADE-OFF?

21. ROLE OF OSS
