Key Concepts
Jim Theory on Skills Mastery
3 parts for any knowledge domain
- The theoretical knowledge - what is the concept model for given use cases, the meta model, meta data, the goals, the process, the proofs for trust etc? RDD for XUC?
- The application knowledge - how can it be used for a use case to deliver value, improve efficiency, engagement or lower risk?
- The mechanical knowledge - how to execute directly ( hands-on repetition etc )
Jim Theory on Work Engagement
Democratic Autocracy = team plan, team ownership
War Council vs Standups = honest collaboration and feedback
Mental refreshers = short off-topic mental awareness topics of interest
Humor - concepts, games, rewards, collaborations
How people learn new skills
https://pages.coursera-for-business.org/rs/748-MIV-116/images/Science-of-Learning.pdf
The Skills Journey for a Domain
Tailor your investment in learning time, motivation and practice to fit your learning capability for a domain
A sample Machine Learning Curriculum Journey
Student engagement methods
go beyond passive learning to active learning
Think like a professional leader in the field
what do they do? what do they know? what would I do? what do I need to know? how can I build my skills fast? How is value delivered, risk managed?
Think like the teacher
What are keys to building a knowledge skills map?
Where can I find those?
Where are my education resources? my real world knowledge references?
What did successful learning journeys look like?
How did students prepare?
What should a curriculum look like?
What is the right productive learning model for me ? my team?
What preparation and tools or base skills are needed as prereqs to this area?
Can I learn the base skills just-in-time or do I need separate courses before I begin this learning journey?
who has succeed on this journey ? what did they do? are there free support resources for this journey?

Strategic Technology Trends - Gartner 2023
https://www.cio.com/article/407109/top-10-strategic-technology-trends-for-2023-gartner.html
Scale industry cloud platforms vertically - see FSF layer in ODP
Reduce friction between development teams and complex infrastructure
Scale everywhere with Wi-Fi
Create digital immune systems = built-in resiliency
Applied observability for better operations to support better operations
Trust, risk and security management for AI = better management of AI services
Start creating superapps = build apps on a super platform like FSN
Adaptive AI to respond to organizational change = adaptable, policy-governed AI
Metaverse will combine different technologies = oversold - if Metaverse were a football player he'd be a 3rd draft pick, not a first
Technology will have a role in sustainability = growth in sustainable products, services, markets and communities using newer technologies
