    Abstract: Data scientists often set out to make a positive impact—generating insights upon which organizations can make decisions. A key aspect of that work is ensuring that data is being collected, managed, and analyzed ethically. But as conversations about ethical data science increase, so do questions about how ethics in data science looks in practice: When do you do an ethics check? And what do you do if something seems off? Join us for this Case Study with DataKind’s Afua Bruce and Rachel Wells to hear what happened when their team faced an ethical challenge during a project that used social media data. While wrapping up the project, the team found out that they didn’t have full information on how the data was obtained. Faced with the decision about whether to deliver the project to the partner when the data trail was incomplete, DataKind reviewed the data source’s use policies, unpacked the trade-offs of different approaches, and carefully communicated with all stakeholders to eventually terminate the project. Afua and Rachel take you through the decision-making process, trade-offs, outcomes, and lessons learned from this project experience; highlight the importance of a data trail and evaluating where all data sources come from; and explain how to walk back a data science solution and project when ethical issues arise. Recorded on January 25, 2022. See the original event page for resources for further learning or watch recordings of other past events . O'Reilly Case Studies explore how organizations have overcome common challenges in business and technology through a series of one-hour interactive events. You’ll engage in a live conversation with experts, sharing your questions and challenges while hearing their unique perspectives, insights, and lessons learned.

    Abstract: Though we have in the past depended on traditional data warehouses to drive business intelligence from data, they were generally based on databases and structured data formats, proving insufficient for the challenges that the current data driven world faces, especially the pace of data growth. Enter data lakes, which are optimized for unstructured and semi-structured data, can scale to PetaBytes easily, and allow better integration of a wide range of tools to help businesses get the most out of their data. There are few important properties worth understanding about data lakes. They include: Support for unstructured and semi-structured data. Scalability to PetaBytes and higher. SQL-like interface to interact with the stored data. Ability to connect various analytics tools as seamlessly as possible. Combine decoupled storage and analytics tools. Data volumes have grown to new scales and the demands of businesses have become more ambitious. For example, users now expect faster query times, better scalability, ease of management and so on. Former big data tools like Hadoop, Hive, and HDFS have made way for new and better technology platforms. Data and software professionals are now moving towards a disaggregated architecture, with Storage and Analytics layers very loosely coupled using REST APIs. This makes each layer much more independent (in terms of scaling and management) and allows using the perfect tool for each job. For example, in this disaggregated model, users can choose to use Spark for batch workloads for analytics, while using Presto for SQL heavy workloads, with both Spark and Presto using the same backend storage platform. This approach is now rapidly becoming the standard. Commonly used storage platforms include object storage platforms like AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage (GCS), Ceph, MinIO among others. Analytics platforms vary from simple Python & R based notebooks to Tensorflow to Spark, Presto to Splunk, Vertica and others. This case study will explain how California State University applied DataOps techniques in their current environments to create reusable, scalable and extensible data architectures. We will discuss strategies to build a data lakehouse architecture to rapidly scale and deploy use cases in your current environments. This case study is for you if... You want to learn how to apply scalable data architecture techniques in a data processing environment. You're a data Architect/ System Architect,...

    Abstract: Observability is a hot topic in software engineering, but how do we decouple what’s useful from the hype? This case study will examine how Lightstep engineering adopted new practices and tools, balancing trade-offs between the needs of a product-driven organization, a small–but quickly growing–team, and the demands of our customers. While there’s no single right answer to “how do you implement observability?” we considered the needs of developers and their experiences, as well as the needs of users, to help guide decisions to keep teams aligned and our customers happy. Join us for this Case Study with Lightstep co founder and chief architect Daniel “Spoons” Spoonhower to learn how Lightstep engineering adopted new practices and tools for observability while balancing trade-offs between the needs of a small but quickly growing product-driven organization and the demands of its customers. This case study is for you if... You’re an engineer or engineering leader that is responsible for software reliability and performance You’re looking to take responsibility for larger systems as well as mentor other engineers You’ve been responsible for production systems in some way, including being on-call, leading on-call teams, or possibly just responsible for debugging software and understanding software performance What you will learn—and how to apply it By the end of this case study the viewer will understand: Observability, how it enhances traditional monitoring, and why it matters to running software services today How observability complements DevOps practices and cloud-native technologies The role of OpenTelemetry and other open source software in observability And you will be able to: Deploy new practices and tools as part of a modern observability practice How to motivate the consistent use of tools and standards across their engineering organizations How to use SLOs to translate between technical constraints and business needs

    Abstract: The complexity of governments today makes the accountability desired by citizens difficult to achieve. Written to address performance policies within state and national governments, Government Performance and Results: An Evaluation of GPRA’s First Decade summarizes lessons learned from a 10-year research project that evaluated performance reports produced by federal agencies under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). The results of this project can help answer a wide variety of questions in political economy and public administration, such as: What factors make performance reports relevant and informative? Has the quality of information disclosed to the public improved? Why do some agencies produce better reports than others? Has GPRA led to greater availability and use of performance information by federal managers? Has GPRA led to greater use of performance information in budget decisions? What steps would make federal management and budget decisions more performance oriented? The book documents the current state of the art in federal performance reporting, measures the extent of improvement, compares federal performance reports with those produced by state governments and other nations, and suggests how GPRA has affected management of federal agencies and resource allocation by policymakers. It also identifies obstacles that must be overcome if GPRA is to deliver on the promise of performance budgeting. The authors chronicle the improvements observed in federal performance reporting through the lens of the Mercatus Center’s annual Performance Report Scorecard. As budget shortfalls and new debt burdens increase interest in public management and budgeting techniques that allow governments to do more with less, this is an appropriate time to take stock of what GPRA has accomplished and what remains to be done. By comparing best performance reporting practices in the US federal government with those in states and other countries, this book speeds the diffusion of useful knowledge at a critical time.

Imparting the fundamental skills that are useful across any field, the TWI programs described in this book are so fundamentally sound that using them to any degree will improve performance. Strict adherence will all but guarantee efficient work flow, higher employee morale, and an improved sense of cohesiveness among your employees.

    Abstract: Humans are naturally wired to solve problems. Implement the right solutions and the problems generally go away. Paradoxes are quite different. They consist of opposites that do not appear to be able to coexist, but must. Most of the issues that keep organizations from achieving strategic success are not problems, they are paradoxes. Practical approaches to address our most important paradoxes do exist. By reading this book you will learn how to address the paradoxes commonly encountered in organizations and in life. Getting Unstuck: Using Leadership to Execute Paradoxes with Confidence will teach you how to balance key paradoxes to achieve greater long-term growth and enhanced sustainability than those who rely on financial data and problem solving methods alone. It addresses the issues that are the most troublesome to people and the organizations they work for. Describing how to think and work more strategically, the book introduces the language and tools you need to share innovative approaches to dilemmas within your organization and to develop better working relationships, both internally and externally. It provides a practical and powerful platform to help you develop new possibilities and achieve your strategic objectives. You will learn how to see conflict with a fresh set of eyes, how to redefine your roles, and how to become more effective professionally and personally. If you have experienced trouble implementing strategic objectives, difficulties getting people from different parts of your organization to work together; if you want to achieve a higher level of success, if you feel stuck, then read this book. Filled with examples of real-world paradoxes, it supplies valuable insights into the root causes of workplace conflicts to help you execute change with greater confidence and effectiveness.

    Introduction to Intelligence Studies (2012)

    Abstract: Since the attacks of 9/11, the United States Intelligence Community (IC) has undergone an extensive overhaul. Perhaps the greatest of these changes has been the formation of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. As a cabinet-level official, the Director oversees the various agencies of the IC and reports directly to the President. The IC today faces challenges as it never has before; everything from terrorism to pandemics to economic stability has now become an intelligence issue. As a result, the IC is shifting its focus to a world in which tech-savvy domestic and international terrorists, transnational criminal organizations, failing states, and economic instability are now a way of life. Introduction to Intelligence Studies provides a comprehensive overview of intelligence and security issues, defining critical terms, and reviewing the history of intelligence as practiced in the United States. Designed in a practical sequence, the book begins with the basics of intelligence, progresses through its history, describes best practices, and explores the way the IC looks and operates today. Each chapter begins with objectives and key terms and closes with questions to test reader assimilation. The authors examine the "pillars" of the American intelligence system—collection, analysis, counterintelligence, and covert operations—and demonstrate how these work together to provide "decision advantage." The book provides equal treatment to the functions of the intelligence world—balancing coverage on intelligence collection, counterintelligence, information management, critical thinking, and decision-making. It also covers such vital issues as laws and ethics, writing and briefing for the IC, and the emerging threats and challenges that intelligence professionals will face in the future.
