Digital transformation requires diverse thinking skills beyond technology. Business analysts and digital leaders should consciously apply creative, visual, analytical, critical, design and systems thinking to navigate complexity and drive innovation. Better organisational thinking leads to better decisions and more successful digital transformation. #DigitalTransformation #BusinessAnalysis #CriticalThinking #DesignThinking #SystemsThinking #Innovation #Leadership #BCS https://www.bcs.org/articles-opinion-and-research/thinking-differently-for-effective-digital-transformation/

Управление целями, или Как заставить стратегию работать с помощью OKR, MBO, BCS

Управление целями нужно не ради красивых слов, а чтобы соединить долгосрочные планы с ежедневной работой. Когда понятно, ради чего ставятся задачи и как их выполнение влияет на общий результат, команда чувствует, что двигается в одном направлении. Руководители при этом видят реальную картину, а не набор несвязанных отчетов. В статье мы разложим по полочкам четыре ключевые методологии целеполагания — MBO, KPI, OKR и BCS — покажем, как они помогают связать стратегию с повседневной работой, и дадим полезные инструменты управления целями, чтобы бизнес шел по курсу, а не дрейфовал.

A Groupe Ride from Nyon to Les Fruitières with Tête de Course

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Yesterday we left Nyon through the "secret" passage that takes you from near Place St Martin to the lakeside. We had to take this route because of the défilé des enfants. Roads were blocked so some drivers might have been trapped for an hour or two. On a bike I was blocked from going one way so I went another way, and then I walked to the meeting point.

Tête de Course is a group that meets on Wednesday mornings, at 06:30, Thursday at 18:00 and on Saturdays it depends, in so far as I can see. I am still new to the group.

The Morning Ride

The Morning ride is open to riders that can ride twenty five kilometres an hour or more. On Wednesday it involved quite a bit of climbing but I was able to keep up with the group and will almost certainly ride with them again next Wednesday. Riding at 06:30 is nice because the roads are empty, but also because the temperature is still relatively low. At the end of the ride you can have a coffee and croissant before getting on with the rest of your day.

The Evening Ride

The Evening Ride is split into three groups. Group 1 is the fastest, most demanding group. They ride fast and do the full loop. Group 2 rides a shorter route at a slightly slower pace. Group 3 is a more relaxed pace. In theory if you can't keep up with group 1 you can drop to group 2.

My first ride with this group was a group 3 ride. Initially the idea was to ride a shorter ride up the Baudichonne climb, stopping at the P'tit Bar. I rode to it, had a quick snack, and then continued riding upwards. I was the only person from group 3 to get to the top. That's why this week I decided to ride with group 2.

This week group 2 rode to Les Fruitères de Nyon. It's a climb up the Jura to a farm from which you have a good view of the Léman and the Alps, including Geneva.

What struck me about last night's ride is that we were riding as a peloton, up steep gradients, and keeping as a tight group. It's the first time I ride in such a group, where we stick together until a certain point. Eventually as people grew more tired the group elongated.

Near the top group 1 flew by group 2. At the top we stopped for a few minutes, to appreciate the view, before heading back down.

How Does it Compare to Bike Club Switzerland

Whilst Tête de Course (TDC) starts from a café in Nyon Bike Club Switzerland (BCS) starts from a bike shop in Les Grottes by Cornavin train station. It uses meetup.com and has clear and distinct groups for relaxed rides, moderate rides, peak rides and gravel. So far I have focused mainly on relaxed with this group.

The relaxed rides are meant to go at 20km/h or so but can trend upwards depending on the level of the group and they try to be around 50 km long. Some relaxed rides are long, and thus 80 or more kilometres in distance.

With the relaxed rides you stop for coffee at some point. Within this group climbing is at your own pace.

I cannot comment on moderate to peak rides yet as I have not tried them. I do joke that we did a recovery ride one sunday at 29km/h or more. This is not a criticism. It amused me.

And Finally

I enjoy riding with Tête de Course. I enjoy that it is local to me. I enjoyed riding in a peloton part of the way up the Jura, before fatigue encouraged me to have more space between myself and others. If you love to climb on every ride then this is a great group. Tomorrow they are going along a route that will have 1400m of climbing. I could be tempted, if I didn't think that I need to give my body time to rest and recover. That's where BCS comes in.

If you live in Geneva BCS rides are from 40-80 kilometres long, but if you live in Nyon then every ride is a century. It is possible for me to do 100+km rides consistently because relaxed rides are at a pace that I can sustain for longer periods of time. Tomorrow I might ride 120km. I suspect that I will catch the train from Geneva to Nyon, or Coppet.

I am enjoying these bike rides.

A Ride Towards Fort L’Ecluse

Reading Time: 2 minutes

It's very easy to fall into a routine. Our routines can revolve around cycling, hiking, work, scuba diving and more. It can also revolve around local walks and more.

This weekend I saw the chance to go for an overnight bivouac and I am not tempted. I saw the chance to cycle through vineyards and drink wine, and I am not tempted. I saw the opportunity to hike around Interlarken and I am not tempted.

I also saw the chance to have a relaxed ride to Hermance, have a sandwich at the café, and then swim, or ride back. I used to go to Hermance very often as a diver, so the lure of this bike ride is not strong.

The bike ride to Vuache, however, is tempting. It tempts me for three reasons.

A familiar Site

The ride will take me within visual distance of the Via Ferrata de Fort l'écluse, that I have climbed many times. I have driven here by car and by scooter. I considered the bike, but for that I want to have a safe route that avoids busy roads if possible. It's also an opportunity to see the Fort, from the other side of the river.

A Good Distance

The ride should be about 75 km or so. I have the opportunity to ride another century this week, but with a group with a slower pace, so it should be more comfortable.

A Relaxed Ride

More than once I have said that I like to ride with groups that ride at a comfortable pace because it gives me the chance to ride further, without reaching a state of exhaustion. It is also the opportunity to see more of the landscape.

No Train and No Car

In theory, I have the option of not using trains, or cars, by going for bike rides on Saturday. This means that I save on commuting time and cost. I wake up, get ready, get on the bike and start the ride. If I do the same as last Saturday I will arrive with time to spare.

Home By Mid-Afternoon

There are plenty of activities where I get up early, for a hike, but don't start until nine or ten o'clock. With cycling I start by seven thirty, to be at the starting point by eight thirty.

With the bike ride I might ride for three or four hours, but if I lived in Geneva, or took the train home, then I'd be home for a normal lunch, almost. This gives me time to do some clothes washing and other weekend activities.

And Finally

Although last week was ambitious, with the 130 kilometre ride I did not suffer too much. I could feel that my left knee needed a rest the next day. More than anything else, I wish I had had an electrolyte tab with me. I was cycling for over seven and a half hours and by the end I was getting dehydrated. I plan to have a tab or two with me on Saturday, for the return leg of the bike ride.

It should be interesting.

Frustratingly the #Slido question pane has jumped back to the other event this week that was using that tool and I can't find my way back to the #BCS one.

I'm sitting in on the #BCS #NAW25 Local Digital Skills session, shaping up to be a really interesting session, the skills agenda is on the move again and #Apprenticeships and #apprentices need to be at heart of it:

and here is episode 44:

New Survey Reveals Key Insights into Apprentice Experiences in the UK

Some key findings here and we'll be exploring the question of 'what apprentices want' during the next BCS Line Manager Toolkit event on the 13th Feb

There is the old adage that the #Internet would treat failures (including censorship) as an error and route around it.

With two #undersea cables having (been?) broken last week, we have an excellent real-time view into this.

Analysis data collected by #RIPE #Atlas probes (operated by volunteers) shows that even #outage of two major cables result in amazingly little extra delay or packet loss.

Thanks to all the ISPs keeping up a good mesh!

@SheDrivesMobility @franziska Leider steht der #bcs der Veröffentlichung von Stations- und Fahrzeug-Verfügbarkeitsdaten skeptisch gegenüber, weshalb im Leitfaden Hinweise hierauf fehlen. Wir empfehlen Kommunen etc bei Einführung von Carsharing-Angeboten darauf zu achten, das potentielle Nutzer*innen auf möglichst vielen Kanälen von verfügbaren Fahrzeugen erfahren können. Dazu müssen die Daten hierüber unter offener Lizenz, zB im #gbfs Standard, veröffentlicht werden
