Interoperability Workshop

Presenter - Jim Wilson OAGI President & CEO and AgGateway CTO, USA (Presenting from Raleigh, North Carolina)

Moderator - Kenneth Irons Member of the boards of PAANZ and AgriTechNZ and CEO of Precision Farming Ltd NZ

NZ Ag Data & Interoperability Workshop 1 of 4A Series of Four Different Webinars building the case for NZ (potentially with Australia) to align with globally accepted standards for enhanced inter-operability

12.30pm to 2.00pm each Tuesday from 14 April to 5 May 2020

Interoperability Workshop 2

Sessions

In this 90-minute session Jim will present a framework for interoperability, the role of standards, the pursuit of competitive advantage (value), and the global and regional influencers.

This session is foundational to the three sessions that follow. While some content will be familiar to some participants, Jim's experience is that interoperability starts with a shared understanding of the fundamentals.

14 APRIL 12.30PM-2.00PM

Standards Benefits, Influencers, & More

Jim Wilson OAGi President & AgGateway CTOKenneth Irons, Moderator

The MobileTECH Ag 2020 staff did an incredible job transforming a face-to-face event into a virtual experience. In this 15-minute presentation Jim will cover highlights of creating global agricultural standards and open source technology, and the role for NZ's businesses.

After two other MobileTECH Ag 2020 presentations that follow, Kenneth will moderate a question-and-answer session.

17 APRIL 1.00PM-2.00PM

MobileTECH Ag 2020: Global Ag Standards


Businesses processes are the heart of standards. Simply put, businesses make money by doing things, i.e., executing processes.

Some processes can be described in a couple written paragraphs while others can only be visualised with involved diagrams.

A shared understanding of process is a prerequisite for robust data standards. In this 90-minute session Jim will cover it all.

21 APRIL 12.30PM-2.00PM

Process and Data Standards


You have data. What does it mean? How can you find out? How can you ensure that those with whom you share it use it only for your benefit? How do you get data from system to another?

In this 90-minute session Jim will address these questions and more. Jim will invite participants in the first two sessions to submit questions about data management and name data standards about which they would like to learn.

28 APRIL 12.30PM-2.00PM

Data Rights & Data Management


This 90-minute session recaps the first three and explores the implications for New Zealand agribusiness. Jim and Kenneth will discuss how various interoperability topics relate to New Zealand's Industry Transformation Plan (ITP) for agriculture, supported by Andrew Cooke and David Downs. The four-part workshop wraps up by looking ahead to ways in which New Zealand's innovative spirit can shape standards for global benefit.

An overview

Interoperability


Digital Agriculture

Digital Agriculture is the agricultural production of food, fiber, and fuel through processes that are increasingly autonomous and driven by increasingly effective models with data input that is increasingly timely, relevant, accurate, complete and trustworthy. The models are designed to maximize profitability and sustainability in optimal balance.

Definition Jim Wilson


Interoperability

[noun]

the ability of computer systems or software to exchange and make use of information:

• interoperability between devices made by different manufacturers

Definition Oxford Dictionary of English © Oxford University Press 2010, 2016


Value

[noun]

the material or monetary worth of something

• prints seldom rise in value

• equipment is included up to a total value of £500

the worth of something compared to the price paid or asked for it

• at £12.50 the book is good value

• the wine represents a good value for $17.95



Standard

[noun]

Something used as a measure, norm, or model in comparative evaluations:

• the wages are low by today's standards

• the system had become an industry standard

a form of language that is widely accepted as the usual form:

• the idea of the standard is projected backwards on to states of language

Choosing among alternative projects

Decision-Making


Decision-Making■ Identify potentially valuable projects

■ Compute the NPV for each

■ Choose the one (or set) with the highest NPV

■ Reality...

■ It's not quite that simple (hence MBA programs)

■ However, often poor decisions can be avoided by at least making an effort to apply these principles

A brief look

Competitive Advantage


Competitive Advantage■ Harvard's Michael Porter wrote the book on competitive

advantage

■ Porter claims that typically companies plan to achieve and sustain competitive advantage through one or both of the following approaches:

■ Operational effectiveness

■ Strategic positioning

■ Porter stresses that operational effectiveness is not a strategy


Competitive AdvantageStrategic positioning attempts to achieve sustainable competitive advantage by preserving what is distinctive about a company. It means performing different activities from rivals, or performing similar activities in different ways.

Harvard Business Review (2011–02–08). HBR’s 10 Must Reads on Strategy (including featured article “What Is Strategy?” by Michael E. Porter) (Kindle Locations 83–85).


Nonsense or common sense?

Competition & Standards


Pursue Competetive Advantage Standardize

So... don't we have conflicting objectives here? Isn't standardization the very act of giving up on sustainable competitive advantage?

Not so fast... The key word is "some".

1. Performing different activities from rivals

2. Performing similar activities in different ways than rivals

1. Perform some of the same activities as rivals

2. Perform some similar activities in the same ways as rivals

Now, the questions: Which ones? Why?
