Quarterly Technology Briefing, Manchester, UK September 2013Thoughtworks
This document summarizes a tech lab experiment conducted by ThoughtWorks to explore graph databases and cloud deployment. The team modeled Manchester's tram network as a graph database to understand its benefits. They iteratively improved the data and query models. The working app was deployed to AWS and automatically updated. The team successfully met the desired outcomes of the lab by gaining technical knowledge, producing a working demo, collateral materials, and excitement in the community. Next steps discussed expanding the work to clients and open sourcing parts of the project.
This document discusses the importance of user experience and usability testing in website design. It defines usability as how easy user interfaces are to use, and notes there are five key components: learnability, efficiency, memorability, errors, and satisfaction. Early and frequent user testing is recommended to fix issues, test assumptions, and inform the design process. Examples of tasks and questions to use during testing are provided. The benefits of testing with real users and focusing on important fixes rather than minor issues are also outlined.
International Group Work For Sustainable DevelopmentKatherine Haxton
This document describes an international and collaborative degree program between Keele University in the UK and Nanjing XiaoZhuang University in China focused on sustainable development. Students take the first three years of courses at their home university with bridging modules taught by Keele staff. In the fourth year, students join together at Keele to complete their degrees and take three bespoke modules. The program incorporates distance and in-person learning components and aims to provide opportunities for UK and Chinese students to discuss sustainability issues.

How High Tech CEOs Can Increase Sales and Marketing Effectiveness and Reduce ...Paul R. DiModica
This document discusses how high tech CEOs can improve sales and marketing effectiveness and reduce costs. As technology prices drop, revenue capture models need to change. The traditional model of relying on expensive outside salespeople is no longer sustainable given a shrinking pool of qualified salespeople. Most salespeople are overpaid, undertrained, and undermeasured. They act as farmers rather than hunters for new business. The future lies in a new Sales and Marketing 2.0 model that shifts responsibility for revenue capture to the entire company through engagement marketing, social media, and communicating value in a scalable way. This centralized approach reduces dependency on individual salespeople from a shrinking talent pool.

This document provides guidelines for effective presentations. It discusses how to structure a presentation through defining an agenda with a beginning, middle, and end. Proper planning is important and involves understanding the audience and purpose. When creating the content, the presenter should connect with the audience's interests at the beginning, focus on two to three main points in the middle while managing time constraints, and summarize the main ideas and conclusions at the end. Effective delivery involves matching speech to visual aids, interacting with the audience, rehearsing, and considering style, voice, body language, and handling questions. Following these guidelines can help anyone learn to be an effective public speaker.
The document summarizes information literacy initiatives at CPUT. It discusses the Information Literacy policy, committee, and certificate program.

Over 15,000 students have completed the program since 2009. Challenges include large class sizes and scheduling sessions.
