The augmentation of human and artificial intelligence is reshaping workplaces and is reconfiguring the design of work processes, information systems and technology, and human-machine-algorithm interaction. However, despite the tsunami of the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence, industry is ill-prepared. Little is known about the factors that contribute to the sustainable value creation potential of AI in the workplace and results to date have shown mixed results on return on investment of AI-enabled applications. Much of this is emanating from unresolved problems in human-machine collaboration in complex and ambiguous problem spaces and is attributed to what we are calling, the AI augmentation design problem.
In this session Marigo will discuss the early results of her research which has identified a wide range of critical success factors and design problems for the design and implementation of augmented intelligent human-machine systems. In this workshop we will be also playing with an early prototype of an interactive augmented intelligence design sprint which leverages the well-established approaches of design thinking and design sprints using design cards and artifact design as prompts for collaborative problem solving between humans and machines.

Our Speaker: Dr Marigo Raftopoulos
Marigo is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Tampere University, Finland, and is currently leading Augmented-Humans, an EU-funded project (MSCA-IF) dedicated to the study of how organisations can augment the best of human and artificial intelligence to accelerate creativity and innovation in business applications.

Prior to academia, Marigo worked for several decades as a strategic business advisor to technology startups, industry and government on human-centred technology design and digital transformation. She has led international keynotes and run interactive design workshops with industry on the co-design of digital technologies using design sprint and design thinking methodologies, as well as the unique gamification design sprint methodology she had developed during her PhD research.
Marigo’s current research interests revolve around how we can use game-based technologies (games, gamification, virtual and augmented reality) as mediators of engaging and ethical interactions and problem solving between human and machine that generate data, develop meaningful insights, facilitate business problem solving, and aid both human and machine learning.

Team-based holistic knowledge management (KM) focuses on teams rather than individuals. It is a new approach designed to empower field teams operating in complex environments to improve their impact. It increases field teams’ knowledge demand and use of organisation-wide KM services.

Team-based holistic KM was developed by Kathryn Harries for her PhD to empower technical field teams in humanitarian organisations and is expected to have wider value. In consultations, sector experts said: “this type of thing is the missing element in everything we’re doing”, “very, very useful” and “very practical” about the model. They also mentioned benefits include:

• Better responsiveness to community needs
• Better coordination with, and empowering of, other local actors
• Improved sector-wide response
• Improved operationalisation of the organisation’s vision and policies
• Improved team well-being
• Improved continuity when team members change
• Better ability to adapt
• Better knowledge retention to continually improve within and between emergency responses

The session will explain how team-based holistic KM was developed. Followed by a facilitated discussion on the approach and the potential value to other teams and the wider KM sector.

Participating in this event will enable you to:

• Consider KM from a field-team perspective.
• Learn new ways to support field teams to improve their impact and knowledge demand.

Our speaker
Kathryn Harries has a field team background and considers KM from this perspective. When working in semi-autonomous field teams, on sewage treatment plants and in humanitarian and development technical teams, she realised that traditional KM approaches did not meet their needs and started experimenting with new approaches that proved successful. Her work as Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Cluster Coordinator Somalia [masked]), coordinating over 170 WASH organisations in response to famine, insecurity and malnutrition, was recognised as global good practice for knowledge management and information sharing. She was later recruited as Knowledge and Learning Manager for the DFAT-funded Civil Society WASH Fund [masked]). Her PhD was designed to scale up this earlier work and develop a new approach, supported by a practical adaptable guide, for use by technical field teams in humanitarian organisations to improve their preparedness and response to large scale disasters in developing countries.
