Connect, it WorX for secretaries
Get secretaries on board in the HR Saxion WorX (New Way of Work) program! In the secretary WorX co-creation user adoption program, secretaries started their journey together to define their persona, their work and their role as ‘spiders in the web’. They also defined all the tools, agreements and behavior necessary to be the result-oriented, efficient worker that enjoys doing her work from any place and time – and achieving more effectiveness in unburdening the manager. They defined how to use the Connections collaborative tools to achieve more substitutability and knowledge sharing. This actually got them to ‘get’ Connections for what it can do for them.
Join this session if you want to learn about the adoption program, the way we did this, learn about the effect and how we made it fun and ‘of themselves’.

Are you or your team juggling multiple projects and releases at once ? Do you ever loose track of what you did ? Do you ever wonder what your colleagues actually changed in an application since you were last involved in it ? Do you ever wonder why things turned out to be more complicated than you thought ?
This session will show you how you can leverage the Source Control features within DDE ( FREE ) to use GIT ( FREE ), SourceTree ( FREE ) and Atlassian JIRA ( $10 for < 10 users ) to manage and track all of your XPages and Notes work in a joined up fashion. Use JIRA to raise tickets, plan projects, efficiently manage agile scrum boards, capture timesheets and easily link all of this activity together so that you can see the code you wrote or changed embedded in the ticket with your timesheets and also by ,package, fix and release.
We will use real examples from a 5 person development shop using this scheme across 45 Notes and XPage projects. The presentation is aimed at both Developers and managers. It will not cover the detailed principles of GIT but it will link to many useful resources and will give a very solid overview of what can realistically be achieved. Many of the principles shown also apply to Mercurial.

Sp5. Things I Wish I'd Known 10 Year's Ago
Nerd Girls @nerdgirlsrule
Monday, March 17
12:45 - 13:30
Room: D
Remember 2004? The launch of Facebook, Lance Armstrong winning his 6th Tour de France, the summer Olympics in Greece and IBM making a commitment to Lotus Workplace during Lotusphere 2004.
At least one of those was a roaring success but what were you doing back then, what did you think you'd be doing in 2014 and what do you really really wish you'd known 10 years ago....

Str03. Getting to the core, requirements gathering in the wild
Femke Goedhart (Silverside) @FemkeGoedhart
Sophie Lavignac-Le Madec (SES)
Tuesday, March 18
14:45 - 15:30
Room: A
The basis of any good project is good requirements. Knowing what it is you are going to build / get determines whether your project will be a success or a flat out failure. In reality though the requirements phase is often trivialized or even forgotten. This session will give you tips & tricks as well as explain to you the basic techniques on how to effectively get to the core of the requirements, identify ways of prioritizing them and explain some core concepts of Functional and Technical design elements. Coming from a requirement gathering as well as development & customer point of view Femke & Sophie will take you through some of the real life examples they have come across and a lot of do's & don'ts they have seen (and despaired over)
Str05. Be Essential
Louis Richardson (IBM) @inter_vivos
Tuesday, March 18
11:30 - 12:30
Room: C
This session is designed to help you 'sell'. Before you dismiss this session because you're thinking: "This isn't for me, I'm not in sales", let me remind you, most of us are in the business of "moving people"...from one belief to another. If you've been promoting collaboration in your organization but it seems to be falling on deaf ears; if you're somewhat technical and are struggling with connecting with your line of business audience; if you're a leader or someone who would like some pointers in more effective communication; this would be a good session for you.
Str06. The end is near! Run for your lives! And other strategies for Lotus Quickr customers...
Rob Novak (SNAPPS) @IBMRockStar
Tuesday, March 18
11:30 - 12:30
Room: A
Lotus Quickr, what a good old friend you have been. Alas, all good things come to a...well, end of marketing. While support for Quickr continues for a while longer, it was removed from the IBM offerings in April 2013, and the heir apparent is Connections Content Manager (CCM). In this session we'll do a capabilities mapping, demo Quickr-to-CCM migration scenarios, and review the available options for Quickr customers. How much can you migrate? What new features will you gain, and what will change? With custom applications, what are the options for moving forward? This session will answer all these questions and more, allowing you to build your own "decision matrix" for the future of your social software deployment.
Str07. Show me the Money! The value in social business
Sasja Beerendonk (e-office) @sbeerendonk
Tuesday, March 18
13:30 - 14:30
Room: A
Social business creates value because it offers employees the opportunity to work together, communicate and share knowledge. But how do you measure this? Where's the value of social business? How can you go from business objectives to measurable elements to get a meaningful and well-founded ROI? To build ROI, several models and instruments can be used: employee engagement measurement, social collaboration reach and impact on organizational success, return on contribution, charting efficiency gains from moving to social collaboration, and transforming business objectives to measurable use case elements. This session will explore these and more.
Str08. What's New in IBM Notes, iNotes and Other Cool Stuff

Monday, March 17
14:45 - 15:30
Room: A
The Notes and iNotes teams have been hard at work in turning innovations around OpenSocial and end-user productivity into experiences that will make you and your organization even more productive and responsive. Fasten your seat belt and join Scott for a journey through what's new and what's coming in the cloud and in the on-premises products that make up IBM's messaging portfolio. As always, this session will be packed with demos of the latest features and previews of future additions!
Str09. Social sharing vs. organised structure. Must you select only one?
Stuart McIntyre (Social 365) @StuartMcIntyre
Femke Goedhart (Silverside) @FemkeGoedhart
Tuesday, March 18
10:15 - 11:00
Room: C
So you have connections (or you are thinking about it) and you want to know what it can do for you in the sense of *socialy* managing files but you don't really know how that concept works or if it would work for your organization.
Tags or folders, share or private, community files or personal files, meta-data and document types? What does it mean and where do you start?
Stuart McIntyre and Femke Goedhart will take you through the ups and downs of social file management. When to use it, when not and what you need to know about file and document management to have the discussion if this should replace the department file share.
Coming from two different backgrounds - and often butting heads about this topic - Stuart & Femke will pitch the points and concepts that you need to think about with managing your documents in a social environment and show you examples on how and where to use IBM Connections to do so.

Str12. Another Trillion $ and what did we get ?
Uffe Sorensen (IBM) @uffesorensen
Monday, March 17
17:15 - 18:00
Room: C
In 1994 IDC reported on a remarkable tool providing a new IT paradigm allowing a business new ways of working after $1T was sunk into the IT industry with no siginificant impact on how business was conducted: "Lotus Notes - the Agent of Change".
Now, more $Ts have been spent on IT without major breakthrough in our productivity, however, a range of tools are emerging, allowing a business to achieve escape velocity and break away from old molds.
We will explore some of the implications of the just announced IBM Mail Next, Big Data and Cloud to drive transformation.
