Micro-visualizations: Small Visualizations that Make a Big ImpactDesign for Context
Presentation by Rachel Sengers and Lisa Battle at the UXDC2017 conference in Washington, DC, on April 15, 2017.
We hear a lot about visualizations for big data these days, but what about small data? The power of communicating data visually can’t be overstated. When designing for expert users, we often need to convey a lot of information at a glance to help them make quick decisions and work efficiently. For infrequent or novice users, a visual overview of a process or concept can provide orientation and help reduce the risk of mistakes. Enter the micro-visualization, a way of packaging detailed information in an easily digestible, visual way. In this presentation, we present examples of several different types of micro-visualizations and discuss how they can be used effectively to improve user experience.

Facebook never needed adoption @ SPS Barcelona 2019Sasja Beerendonk
Learn what makes change for technology in business so difficult and how to motivate your employees to adopt it.
What are the reasons employees do not simply embrace new technology?
Resistance to change is what you’ll get without a proper user adoption strategy for your collaboration platform. Unlike IT people, business users are not necessarily thrilled about new technology, features and functionalities.
Build it and they will come does not work. Most employees will need to be motivated differently to start a new way of working.
How can we bend resistance to change, to change readiness? How do we find your Champions and activate them? How do employees understand when to use what app? This session will show you how to build a successful user adoption strategy.
UX, Marketing & Brand: Designing customer experiences where digital marketing...Lynn Teo
This is the era of great customer experiences. All around us we see thriving examples of businesses that have disrupted their legacy predecessors by observant and intuitive innovators. The marketing and product development functions have long resided in separate parts of an organization. What is often missing in this bifurcated setup is a holistic approach to engaging and satisfying the consumer on their terms most, if not all of the time. For too long, digital marketing has been thought of in terms of “push” and “pull” tactics without sufficient consideration of the connectivity and continuity between the efforts.
For example, “push” brand messaging is thought of as reach and segmentation. But what about “push” marketing strategies that are more relevant and far reaching, such as social media integrations that are “baked” into the product from the outset? Think about Groupon and the rewards you earn from friend purchases as an example.
On the “pull” side of things, it is easy to forget about the product itself as a “pull” marketing vehicle. Digital storefronts (ecommerce sites, mobile commerce) and social platforms are hidden marketing workhorses when overlain with the personalization capabilities afforded by data. Carefully designed user experiences that are built on a deep understanding of user needs and pain points, easy-to-use ecommerce sites and mobile apps that convert with every “Add To Cart” tap or click accelerated by contextual information, content narratives on Facebook that entice and engage – these are all product experiences waiting to exert their natural pull on the customer.
The goal is to create compelling interactions at every point in the customer’s journey in a deliberate and customer-focused way. Organizations must be ready to embrace new team structures, create a culture of systems-thinking, and most importantly, challenge the status quo in order to stay relevant in today’s fast-moving customer-led world.

Content strategy - Beyond the wireframe (UX Bristol 2014)Nomensa
A workshop for UX designers and researchers.
Have you ever experienced that sinking feeling at the end of a project when you realise the content that’s been loaded onto the site is nothing like what you were thinking of when you created the wireframes? Or revisited a site you built a while ago and found that additions and changes made over the years have altered it beyond recognition?
Content strategy can help you plan for great content right from the start of a project. This workshop demystifies the content production workflow – how it’s commissioned, created, measured and maintained – talks a bit about governance, and provides some practical tips and tools to help plan and manage content, whether you’re from an agency or in-house.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
