Using AI-driven models for Creating Agile Organizations

Organizations need to be able to easily detect problems within product design or things that could impact their brand image. Consumer feedback is an important resource that can help organizations towards developing agility in this direction as these can not only provide important insights into existing deficiencies within product design or its functionalities thereof but also help understand the damage fraud product reviews could cause to the product brand image. Detecting fraud product reviews is a notoriously challenging problem. This talk will address two different ways in which product reviews could be utilized for addressing these challenges. First, how app reviews could be utilized to identify tailored AI-driven smart app design guidelines using NLP based deep learning approaches. Second, latest NLP techniques could be used to develop a better understanding of product review fraud.

IT Crisisology: a New Discipline for Business Agility

This presentation discusses crises in software product development. It defines a development crisis and presents the new discipline of IT Crisisology, which systematically studies and addresses crises in software production. Essential ingredients of this IT Crisisology discipline include models, methods, tools, patterns and practices. The IT Crisisology framework developed addresses technology, business and human factors; for each kind of factors, it uses a dedicated set of the above-mentioned ingredients. These include tradeoff optimization, agility matrix, models for knowledge transfer and data lifecycle, to name a few. For enterprise scale development, these ingredients are further enhanced and improved. In case of systematic application, the suggested IT Crisisology framework improves business agility as it allows for a better disciplined, predictable, and manageable software product development, even in the event of a crisis.
