What’s your superpower?
You get clever questions!
And yours?

Labour Market Needs

Do we add cost or value to our
products? How?
Hard costs/Subjective Values
h.ps://steemit.com/bitcoin/@kierkeguardian/why-bitcoin-is-not-ﬁat

Possible Answers
  Control costs by quickly identifying and limiting
ourselves to key information
  Add social value by answering users’ most
important questions and solving their problems
  Create synergy by finding patterns and
relationships across the entire organization
  Improve organizational efficiency with user
feedback communities

Empowering Artificial Intelligence
  Extract content from
user’s environment
  Use physical detection
of fatigue or other
states to deliver the
best content for the
moment
  Include haptic
feedback - how hard
they push "return," for
example

The role of AI in Personalization
UX Persona As humans we can define a few
generalized personas for our users
With artificial intelligence, we can define
thousands of specific personas defined by:
•  Identified personality traits
•  Geolocation
•  Current emotional state
•  Learning style
•  Date / time / season
•  Gender
•  State of health
•  …

How can we optimize the
information life cycle?
Remake/Catch up
h.p://www.aplaceformom.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/8-alzheimers-behaviors-to-track.jpg

How to Do This?
  Information composting:
  More sophisticated
governance
  Obsolete information is
broken down
  Still-usable parts are
recycled back into the
system

Information Composting
  A Nemetic Process
  Notice
  Engage
  Mull
  Exchange

Data Collection as “Travel”
  A repository handles
info composting
  Must be dynamic
  Also retains
historical information

Update cycles keep getting shorter.
How do we verify our information?
Think quick/Holistic view

Agile Information?
  Integrated tools,
including:
  Planning
  Databases
  Internal communication
  Auto-detection of
obsolescence (governance)
  Automate system of needs
detection

Deep Content to Facilitate Structural Change

Deep Context Creates New Information Offers

Some organizations are afraid:
•  Security
•  Cost
•  Privacy
•  Legal threats
Communicators need to
diversify for advancement
Practitioners want:
•  Freedom
•  Connectivity & Networking
•  Cloud space
•  Personal career evolution
Fluid information can change
even rigid institutions
