Fearless: Adopting Brave Experimentation (AWDG November 2013)

•

Why are we so afraid of failure? Have we mistakenly placed UX decisions outside of a normal, human decision-making process? Let's talk about how to view our assumptions for the users as well-structured experiments instead of final decisions. We'll discuss the components of an intelligent, personal decision-making process and see how we can apply those to UX—all while making sure we're not limiting our options with our own subconscious tendencies. Note: the authors I give major credit to verbally during my presentation aren't represented well in the slides. Major concepts from this presentation come from "Decisive: How to Make Better Choices in Life and Work" by Chip & Dan Heath and "Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error" by Kathryn Schulz. Get those books!

FEARLESS

Adopting Brave
In any moment of decision, the best
Experimentation
thing you can do is the right thing,
the next best thing is the wrong thing,
and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
[THEODORE ROOSEVELT]

WIDEN YOUR OPTIONS
Reframe Possibilities
Find incremental options
Instead of this or that, try this and that
Talk to people who solved your problem

To live a creative life,
we must lose our
fear of being wrong.
[JOSEPH CHILTON PEARCE]

REALITY TEST YOUR ASSUMPTIONS
Avoid Conﬁrmation Bias
Seek out contradictory data
Try to disprove your own theories
Allow ideas to prove themselves
Conduct small, less invasive tests

It does feel like something to be wrong;
it feels like being right.
[KATHRYN SCHULZ]

ATTAIN DISTANCE
Neuter Your Emotions
“Sleep on it”
What would I say if...?
Pursue your core objectives
Argue

[WordPress 3.8] will
either be amazing or
a huge mistake.
[MATT MULLENWEG]

PREPARE TO BE WRONG
We are Overconﬁdent
Statistically, our instincts are usually wrong
Decisions should be commas, not periods
Know what to do
when things go wrong or well

KNOW WHEN YOU’RE WRONG
Run True Experiments
Have a hypothesis, a control, and variables
Tripwires (true deadlines)
Correlation != Causation
Use tools properly

The neurotic who learns to laugh at himself
may be on the way to self-management,
perhaps to cure.
[GORDON ALLPORT]

HASTEN THE WRONG
Ask People Who Are Not You
User testing is fun and embarrassing
Actually talk to users
Test for show stoppers or tiny interactions,
but do those separately
You don’t need many users

The crucial variable in
the process of turning
knowledge into value is
creativity.
[JOHN KAO]

DATA INFORMS DESIGN
Illusion of Explanatory Depth
People will ﬁnd ways to give negative
feedback if you frame it that way
Data and feedback should inform design,
not dictate it
Get users to their goal with minimal
cognitive load

I could be wrong
about this.
[CLIFF SEAL]

The marketing metric of the next decade will be trust. There will be no more effective—nor more critical—way of building a brand than building a community who trusts you enough to advocate on your behalf. With trust in brands and advertising at an all-time low, there will never be a better time to build a human-centered marketing strategy. The tactics of this decade—data collection, tracking, endless ads—will not work in the next. Your customers are already telling you how to connect with them in a way that will grow your business. Are you ready to listen?

Trust in the Future

Your leads' marketing experience is affecting their sales experience. Their sales experience is affecting their customer experience. Their customer experience is affecting your attrition and your growth. The entire lifecycle—start to finish—is affecting your ability to turn customers into advocates: your most reliable engine for growth. We’ve all had a bad experience that turned us off to a company for good. You have the opportunity to design ideal experiences for your customers, and, in doing so, position your company to grow. The data is conclusive: better experiences lead to advocates and revenue! To get there, you'll have to fuse disparate parts of your organization together to create a new, holistic experience. In this session, we'll use the incredible history of Jimi Hendrix as a vehicle for learning how to do effective customer research, leverage analytics and testing, and collaborate across departments to build a world-class, omni-channel customer experience that gets real results. When customers experience success, you do, too. Would you mind submitting that change?

After consuming countless research papers and case studies, and nearly a decade of studying and talking to B2B marketers—a pattern emerges that connects high-performing marketers with exceptionally great jazz musicians: both reliably deliver the results they want through mastery, perseverance, and collaboration. How do you move beyond the basics and create innovative, effective email campaigns? It turns out that the key isn’t more data—it’s your ability to see opportunities, collaborate, and improvise. Through reliable research and the true stories of American jazz greats, we'll plot a course to greater use of personalization, automation, and testing through learning to trust yourself. The legends of jazz always delighted us in ways we never expected, and you can put your creativity to work in your B2B emails, too. (No scatting required.)

Mastering B2B Email

According to Seth Godin, the biggest mistake marketers are making today is "Thinking that their job is to spend money to get attention." In our new economy of trust, connection, and relevance, marketing strategies need to reflect a deep understanding of customer value. The classic, persona-based form of marketing isn't designed to achieve that outcome. There's a new framework to help marketers become more relevant: Jobs to be Done. It's designed and proven to give tremendous insight into the true value you provide to your customers. Knowing what your customers need your product or service to do means you know how to help them achieve their goals. Join us to learn about the Jobs-to-be-Done mindset, see how it worked for others, and walk away with a fresh way to be truly relevant to your customers.

WordPress’s content management system is only one piece of a very large puzzle. Acronyms abound as a site prepares for launch—from DNS to SSL to CDN, you’re up against a series of technical tasks that need to go well to go live. Once you get to launch, there’s a whole litany of concepts a site owner ought to understand: optimizing and maintaining SEO, keeping the site secure, monitoring performance, tracking analytics, and keeping everything up to date. Plus, what do you do when performance slows down, or your site gets hacked, or users aren’t converting like you expect? In this session, I’ll give an introduction to everything from domain hosting to site launching to cleaning a hacked site—sharing proven tools I’ve used to help hundreds of clients. You’ll get a better idea of what you can manage on your own and better understand the things you can’t (or don’t want to).

Somewhere along the line, B2B marketing became less of an exercise in creativity and more a balancing act in the dark. Endless tools, contradictory best practices, and mind-numbing levels of optimization dominate the modern marketer’s day-to-day. After all, you still have to hit objective goals to prove your worth to the business—even though it’s almost impossible to know how each decision and effort impacts the overall outcome. So, you play it safe. You administer tools instead of creating and experimenting. And you miss opportunities to truly excel, because just hitting your numbers is hard enough. No more! It’s time for you to do what you do best again: fearlessly connect with your target market and build empowered customers. The principles and methods of "design thinking” will equip you to reorient around more audacious goals and pursue a higher level of creativity and risk. Embrace collaboration, conversation, ideation, and testing to find hidden opportunities—all without jeopardizing the good you’ve done so far. Let’s put tools in their place and be unboring together.

Did you know that running multiple instances of WordPress on a single server doesn’t actually require multiple instances of the codebase? In fact, as of WordPress 3.9, you don’t even need multiple instances of a plugin or a theme! Multitenancy can eliminate massive maintenance overhead in the right situations, think server-wide, near-instant updates that let you stay secure without keeping up with multiple sites. And that’s just the beginning of how it can help. In this session, I’ll show you how multitenancy can save time and energy while empowering your users. It’s simple, but powerful.

The WordPress Administration area is no walk in the park. Just because it’s, perhaps, the most user-friendly of the big CMSs doesn’t necessary make it objectively easy to use. All sorts of things that can seriously break your site are mixed in with trivial options. And, once you start adding robust plugins, things can get complicated fast. There are many ways to make WordPress more palatable for the common user (see: non-developers) and reduce the risk of big-time accidents. In this session, I’ll show you how easy it is to remove things users don’t need from the admin area—all with your own plugin. Don’t worry if you haven’t written a plugin before. Not only will I give you the working plugin to start with, but I’ll explain everything along the way. Let’s make WordPress just a little easier and safer for everyone!

WordPress has a few built-in ways to cache data that enable rapid development. Understanding your options and how to use them properly in your context is crucial to a performant and scalable site. The Transients API provides a powerful and easy way to store data with an expiration, and it comes with a few under-the-hood perks as well. Join me in looking at the benefits you can gain from understanding and implementing “transients”. When we’re done, you’ll know what this API is, when it should be used, how to use it, and how to scale it. I’ll give real, useful code examples that you can implement immediately—without boring you to death. You’ll be able to do anything from caching data from a external API (like recent tweets) to storing a large, complex query. We’ll also cover some of the more obscure aspects of this method, like: -Object caching/Memcached -Autoloading -Race Conditions -Expired transient cleanup -Options table bloat Do yourself and your visitors a favor by utilizing the Transients API. And, as you’ll see in this session, knowing how to use it will make all WordPress’s caching techniques easy to implement.

Great design of the user's experience has effects far beyond what we traditionally attribute to the discipline of UX. When we're willing to accept that putting people over pixels achieves business goals *and* makes the world better in its own way, we can choose to empower people to do what they want to do. In this presentation given at Digital Summit 2014 in Atlanta, I make the case for how this can be true and how it allows UX to scale.

We have methods, systems and software; we have books, blogs and white papers—all of which helps us produce well-articulated content and manage the how, when and why of engagement for effective content marketing tactics. In this session, though, we’ll take a fresh look at web content by seeing it through the eyes of the user, and we’ll discuss methods of improving users’ experience by employing simple and effective psychology alongside common-sense SEO. We’ll also explore how methods of effective in-person conversation can be applied to web content strategy. Then, since better prospects will be finding and reading your content, I’ll show you how to engage your target audience sustainably, measure results, and enable you to face the challenge of creating content that people actually care about.

In a perfect world, we would all be able to design and build applications by simply following best practices; creating intuitive, beautiful interfaces would be as easy as implementing "10 Usability Heuristics" and using logic to fill in the gaps. But, it's never that simple, is it? We tend to think of usability as a utopian 'middle ground' that serves the average user so well that we must always strive for it first. In reality, though, it's more like one corner of a triangle, accompanied by two very interesting psychological ideas: groupthink and authority. Backed by data and studies, I'll show you how groupthink can alter the way your users think about and interact with your application—both for better and for worse (see: mob mentality). As well, we'll discuss the role that trust and authority play by looking at ways you can combat groupthink, and even use it to your advantage! We can create better experiences by understanding the dynamics of our users' community—not just an individual user's persona.

Usability, Groupthink, and Authority

We’ll cover the basics of the Transients API, see basic examples, and then discuss common places where this method can be most helpful, like large, complex queries or pulling from an external API. We’ll also discuss how this type of caching is unique, when to use it, and how to scale it for big bursts of traffic.

While content as “king” may not be the best analogy, the importance of well-written, useful, textual content cannot be overstated. Tone can affect engagement, keywords can make or break your SEO, length can kill interest–great writing is vital. Content is not just blog posts or “About” pages, it is everything that gives information (including the way the information itself is presented). You have a great business or cause, but there are countless others just a click away. How do you find the right people to get involved, and how do you make them care? In this session, we will refresh how you view your own web content by seeing it through the eyes of the user, and we will discuss methods of improving UX by employing simple and effective psychology alongside common-sense SEO. We will also explore how methods of effective in-person conversation can be applied to web content strategy. Then, since better prospects will be finding and reading your content, I will show you how to target your audience, measure the results, and constantly improve your outreach. Through being both appropriately satirical and data-driven, I take a unique approach to getting content creators to spend some time in the shoes of their audience, revealing some of the absurdities of our assumptions and demonstrating how to challenge and test them. Data, empathy, logic, and optimization, together, always lead to better engagement. More concretely, we will discuss: - How visitors measure and absorb value when viewing web content (using data, psychology, and theories) - How real conversation teaches us how to engage with visitors - How to systematically and sustainably empathize with your target audience - How to make content memorable through positive emotional interaction - How to define and focus on your target audience - How to identify and test your assumptions about user interaction

Especially when looking at WordPress as a potential platform for web apps, understanding proper caching techniques is a must—and the Transients API is a powerful tool that sometimes goes unnoticed. We’ll cover the basics and see easy examples, and then discuss common places where this method can be most helpful, like large, complex queries or pulling from an external API. We’ll also get into the details of the API, covering concepts like object caching, autoloading, and see some examples of more advanced setups.

No one likes being misjudged; with some context, we can all understand each other a bit better. So, if someone mentions metal music and your mind jumps to hair spray abuses or evil clown lookalikes, join me as we discuss its rich history—really! We'll start with its influences (like Celtic folk and classical music), discuss its cultural and religious roots (not as terrifying as you might think), and see how 40+ years of success and misconception have led to a rich musical tapestry. You might not become a fan, but you'll definitely understand the world you live in just a bit more.

Join Cliff Seal, a Pardot UX Designer, as he introduces one of Pardot’s newest features – the WordPress plugin. This session will cover the basic functionality and use cases of the plugin, as well as the advantages of using open-source, self-hosted WordPress as a platform for web projects. After reviewing the plugin’s use of dynamic content, A/B testing and advanced content optimization, you will be itching to get back and implement this power couple solution. Combined, Pardot and WordPress can create a maintainable, flexible web presence that will generate leads and give valuable feedback.

Generative AI refers to a class of machine learning algorithms that are designed to generate new data samples that are similar to those in the training data. Unlike traditional AI models that are trained to recognize patterns and make predictions, generative AI models have the ability to create entirely new data based on the patterns they have learned. This is achieved through techniques such as generative adversarial networks (GANs), variational autoencoders (VAEs), and transformer architectures, among others.
