Speakers

Monday

Tomi Tuomainen & Antti Liukkonen (Siili Solutions): Siili Solutions is a modern independent software integrator and developer of digital services.  Since 2010 Siili’s net sales have grown on average by 40% a year. This has caused many organizational challenges that have been tackled by enabling self-management practices and autonomous teams.

Ineke van der Kramer (Erasmus University Rotterdam):  This presentation shows why the Library of the Erasmus University in Rotterdam started with self-managing teams, and what happened next. It gives an honest insight in the experiences we encountered. It especially shows the employees perspective: we actually had a scrappy start. Why and what did we do to get back on track?

Alex Clifton (Storyhouse): Storyhouse is a fully integrated public library, theatre, cinema and restaurant. It blends commercial, charitable and statutory services in one organisation, to create a sustainable and thriving community library. Storyhouse has had over 1,000,000 visitors per year, making it the UK’s second most visited cultural centre.

Sue Lawson & Richard Veevers/FailCamp Workshop: How do you disrupt the current obsession with success when it can be really hard to admit to your mistakes? Come to our participant driven workshop; share stories of fuck-ups, mistakes and gaffes! FailCamp is a safe space to laugh at failure and take it seriously, to make it an opportunity for learning, rather than for blame. Failcamp starts a conversation where we don’t ignore failure in a storm of relentless positivity, we learn from it.

Laura Norris (Helsinki City Library): At Oodi, our aim is to produce the best possible services for citizens and patrons. The best people to do that are the crew of 54 people that we have at Oodi, and that’s why our teams are self-governing and make their own decisions about services and everyday work. My presentation will give you a peek at how we do things at Oodi.

Tuesday

Linda Liukas: (LindaLiukas.com): Astrid Lindgren famously stated that politics is too important to be left for politicians. In this talk children’s book author, illustrator and programmer Linda Liukas explores why technology is too important to be left for technologists. The graphical interface, the sleek containers and sealed boxes of computers hide a lot of complexity from us. How does electricity turn into logic, how does logic create ones and zeroes? And what is the role of libraries in the world of ubiquitous screens?

Through practical examples this keynote explores how and why to bridge sciences and humanities for the next generation and give them tools as well as a compass for the future.  To understand ourselves, we need numbers as well as words. And most of all we need stories.

Olli Ohls (Futurice) & Sanna Huttunen (Helsinki City Library): Joint Project on Social Robotics

Andreas Ingefjord (Malmö City Library): It´s not hard to imagine a perfect, utopian digital library as all the tech, software and gadgets needed allready exists. We are not lacking visions and dreams of a brave new digital library world. Still, the digital evolution of our libraries seems to be a hard case to crack. Why? I will share my thoughts on this, and regarding what we can do about it.

Rauha Maarno (Finnish Library Association): Finnish libraries are praised as one of the best in the world. How do Finnish librarians see the future and the library´s role in the society? How is the profession evolving? You will get a sneak peek into the preliminary results of the largest ever made national survey for all librarians in Finland.

Virva Nousiainen-Hiiri (Helsinki City Library): How intelligent floating collection project with operational process changes was made in Helsinki City Library.

Merete Lie (Deichman Library)

Toke Frello & Cecilie Lyneborg (Herlev Library)
