Part II – The first practical step of the hi-tech entrepreneur: The art of expressing an idea.
The 2nd part of the workshop will deal with the tasks of the first and most important phase of the hi-tech entrepreneur, related to the initiation of an idea, its selection and the way in which it has to be analyzed and presented, in order to convince partners and investors to join.
It will deal with creative imagination, giving birth to an idea for a new product or service, selecting an appropriate idea, preparing the development plan and crystallizing the business model, as well as techniques for presenting the novel idea with: ppt presentation, executive summary, SWOT analysis, and elevator pitch.
Instructor: Dr. Aaron Shenhar, Professor of Project Management and Leadership, Rutgers University (Ret.) , CEO, Diamond Leadership Institut
Part II – Understanding the Science of Technology and Its Management
While technology increasingly impacts daily life, economic well-being, and society in general, its fundamental laws and underlying theory have been slowly evolving. Surprisingly, still unavailable, is a widely accepted (and simple) definition of what exactly is technology or technology management, and there is no widely accepted unified theory.
This workshop will present a new perspective on the theory of technology and its management, and discuss the question: can such a theory evolve into a new science of its own – Technology Science? Just as computer science has helped us understand the power of computers, this new science would further increase our ability to harness the full potential of any technology, accelerate its development and open up new areas of investigation of technology and specifically, technology management. After discussing technology’s common laws of structure, function, value, process, know-how, and evolution, I will present a wide-range of future study options and their implications for management.

Part I – The history of the Israeli Hi-Tech and VC industries, with practical lessons to be learned and applied.
During only a few decades of the 2nd half of the 20th century Israel made a dramatic transition from an agriculture and low-tech based economy to a technology driven economy, being recognized all over the world as the “Start-Up Nation”.
The workshop will include an animated video and interactive discussions with the audience on the lessons to be learned from the Israeli experience and the way these lessons can be adapted in different regions/countries and during our modern times, when the 4th Industrial Revolution is taking place around us.
Instructor: Dr. Aaron Shenhar, Professor of Project Management and Leadership, Rutgers University (Ret.) , CEO, Diamond Leadership Institute
Part I – The Coming Renaissance in Project Management
In spite of their critical importance to economic growth and quality of life, most engineering projects are still not meeting their intended goals, with only one in three projects leading to business success and two failing to meet their time and cost goals. Extensive research and hundreds of new tools have not changed these statistics in the last 20 years. It is clear that the project management profession needs a renaissance.
In this workshop I will discuss what’s wrong and missing in this critical field. Based on 25 years of research and 20 years of practical lessons, I will show that the problem is NOT in the commonly-used and expensive tools. Rather, it is rooted in a deeper level of misguided perception of what projects are all about. I will present the expected transition from the current Delivery Model to the next Value/Job model and introduce its new elements of strategic thinking, adapting to DNA (of the project), and the spirit of leadership. I will also show how companies can make this transition in practice.

Abstract
The greater the dependence on the machine, the greater security becomes crucial. Decentralization is a security model, it cannot be included after the fact, it has to be by design and therefore folks will not have the ability to “add” it later. Autonomous Decentralized Governance, can ensure the cost of attacking the system is higher than the benefits from the system. Current trend has been gearing folks to include AI into Blockchains, but instead, including Decentralization into AI by design, can ensure the dependency layer is more secure without having to depend on a third party. The goal is to effectively reduce the cost of security by over 99% over a centralized model and likely to be over 99% faster as well.
