To engage engineers, give them problems to solve, smart colleagues, a chance to make a difference and no two days alike. See five factors to consider in this Best Practices one-pager: https://lnkd.in/e8z4Qeve

🔧 Embark on a journey from idea to reality with Systems Engineering! 🚀 Dive into the intricate process of turning concepts into fully integrated systems. 🌐 From inception to execution, every step is meticulously planned and executed to ensure seamless functionality and optimization. ..  💡 Explore the intersection of technology, design, and innovation as we navigate through the complexities of engineering. 💻 Let's build the future together, one system at a time! 

What the other does, we observe. When we witness success, it should never be something that creates jealousy, but should be inspiring. It should make us want to better ourselves, our businesses, and those around us. Competition, friendly competition, creates results for businesses. Every single month there is a voluntary reporting of important metrics that we all use to gauge the success of any division/business. Those that willingly report those metrics on a daily basis are weighing themselves against the others. Not just competition, but a way to raise the bar on performance. You'd be surprised what teams are capable of when they know someone is watching, focusing on them, or just desire to be the best. Every month the "Best Overall" on the electrical side here has received an award to put up in the business. Starting this month, June, whoever takes home the title, has the belt to match! The hard part will be sending it off to the next location that wins! Proud of the electrical side here, and can not wait to see who brings this home after June!

The idea of this video has come to my mind, watching a Gregor Hohpe 's talk in which he compares the different approaches of a IT Service Team with respect to a new Platform Engineering Team. Getting inspired by that speech and other articles by Evan Bottcher and Peter Gillard Moss, I wrote down the top 10 reasons why a Platform Engineering Team is not a IT Service Team like we were used to, before Platform Engineering became the new trend. https://lnkd.in/d7KMAyFy

Traffic Safety Professionals: It's difficult to be at the forefront of what's brewing in the industry. Lots of different technologies and players trying to shape what the best traffic safety practices will be in the next few years. Putting your trust in reputable organizations and professional associations seems like a good strategy to follow. I'll leave here a link to the upcoming webinar (Nov 14) hosted by ITE - A Community of Transportation Professionals on the topic of: Conducting Traffic Conflict Analysis Using New Technologies You can register here: https://lnkd.in/g4Wv-w99 and send a message to Paul G. St-Aubin, P.Eng., Ph.D., or to me if you've got any questions after the session! See you there 👋

When you combine the power of technology with the minds of our engineers - anything is possible.

“Observability is not only about pinpointing problems, but rather helping organizations become more preventive, detect incidents before they happen and give them the actions they need to fix problems before they create a service interruption.” Check out this video interview with Riverbed’s Charbel Khneisser, VP Solutions Engineering, EMEA.

One thing I've seen as an engineer is that a lot of places don't have the proper support for maximising the value of a new or junior engineering hire. The "state of the art" is frequently a document about onboarding and "learn-as-you-go" with some pairing along the way, if you're lucky. Frequently, this is because teams feel like they don't have the time, tools, or expertise to improve this process. At the end of the day, this sucks: the new team member feels like they're too slow and the team isn't taking full advantage of their skills. It takes time for them to become familiar with your business processes, development lifecycle, and specific tools. If this describes you -- either as a new member of a team or as an engineering manager, director, staff engineer, or team lead -- please reach out! I'd love to talk to you more about your experience. At Nimbus, we've started exploring a way to change all that

"As a result of this rapid convergence of physical and digital ecosystems, engineers need to truly understand how and why data is collected, stored, shared, and used. So that sustainable development goals can be pursued proactively while respecting the right to privacy, by protecting personal information. A study conducted at MIT Sloan School of Management found that the healthcare industry is increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks, which can result in the loss of sensitive information, financial theft, and even compromised medical equipment, leading to the demise of critical patients. Data breaches are estimated to have a collective impact of around $6 billion on the healthcare industry in the United States (Jalali and Kaiser, 2018). As privacy and security concerns grow in the pursuit of sustainability, engineers will have the pivotal role in ensuring that smart technologies are designed and implemented with security safeguards and respect the right to privacy."
