Is big data handicapped by "design"? Seven design principles for communicatin...Zach Gemignani
Is big data handicapped by "design"? This presentation shares the seven design principles for effective data communication. Good and bad examples for data visualizations highlight the choices designers make in helping non-analytical audiences understand the meaning in data.
Launching Data Products for Fun and ProfitZach Gemignani
You've made your big data investments, but where is the ROI. The answer may be in data products -- using your data assets to build customer-facing solutions that differentiate and generate new revenue streams. This presentation explains the opportunity and best practices for designing, building, and launching data products.
We are currently producing far more data than people can consume – more than we can even process using today’s technology. When there are 750 tweets sent every second, more than 1 million special interest groups on LinkedIn and thousands of publications created by a single firm every year, how do you ensure the right content is getting to the right people?
Join Kalev Peekna as he explores ways you can avoid creating the experience of information overload for your audiences. He shares how you can Crack Big Content by organizing, engaging, adapting and analyzing your communications, preventing them from looking, feeling and acting like work. He also provides examples of tools organizations have used to successfully guide overwhelmed readers.

In this webinar Laura Madsen provides an overview of her new book, "Healthcare Business Intelligence: A Guide to Empowering Successful Data Reporting and Analytics."
Increasing regulatory pressures on healthcare organizations have created a national conversation on data, reporting and analytics in healthcare. Behind the scenes, business intelligence (BI), business analytics, and data warehousing (DW) capabilities are key drivers that empower these functions.
This was talks first given at the Online News Association conference in 2013. An adapted version was given a second time for the Asian American Journalists Association in 2014.
2-day workshop in August of 2019 for NGO staff in Hyderabad.
Over the last decade, the social good sector has rapidly adopted data as a main tool to help accomplish their mission. Whether driven by funder requirements, or internal measurement-focused motivations, CSOs from every sector now use data in a wide variety of pro-social ways. However, this can be a struggle on limited budgets, in low data-literacy settings, and with communities victimized by data efforts in the past.
Come join us for a workshop on new approaches to using data within non-profit settings. We will explore a wider approach to involving communities in all stages of the data pipeline, inspirational low-tech examples, and ways to create and measure effective data storytelling. You’ll walk away with new participatory data activities, a tool belt for more creative and appropriate data storytelling, and experience applying the to your data needs and concerns.
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is a comprehensive set of tools that – when well supported and deployed – can help nonprofits and libraries improve their collaborative efforts by making it easier to capture and share institutional knowledge both internally and externally. Microsoft donates SharePoint 2007 to eligible organizations through TechSoup, but you may need help determining if this tool is the right fit for your organization.
Link Building, Topicality & the Reasonable SurferDixon Jones
After Pagerank, Google overlayed this algorithm with the idea of the Reasonable Surfer. This presentation at Pubcon Vegas is all about Topics, links and the reasonable surfer.
Large organizations are much less about organizing assets and the efficient production of tangible assets. It's now about bringing in talented people who can learn at a pace that gives the business competitive advantage.
As large datasets come together exciting and unexpected things can happen. Human behavior is high dimensional, so combining many diverse datasets is critical to revealing actionable insights.

According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), questionable claims continue to rise each year, with a 56 percent increase between 2008 and 2012. Fraud can be a fabricated claim, a staged accident, or falsified information. Most insurers find fraud at the time of claim. But for this alarming trend to stop, insurers should strive to identify potential fraud at the time of quote — even before they write the policy.
Stop fraud before it’s too late with RISK:check® Point of Sale.

Local Content Toolkit - Part I - Why Local Content MattersNick Kellet
This guide is Part 1 of a three part guide to local content.
This deck explains the why - it should give you a unique lens on local.
Have you thought about local tourist - local who never lose their curiosity to live like tourists
Local communities works like Lurkers - few people are the active creators and contributors.
It's for this reason you can dominate local content in your niche if you choose to do so and set out with a Marathon mindset.
A short workshop from MERL Tech 2016 on how we can think more purposefully about telling stories with our data and designing visualizations to bring those stories to life in global health and development.

Breakout session at MERL Tech 2018.
Agile - commonly used in the tech community - offers a number of sticky ideas and principles we can adapt in international development and MERL to improve how we work and support adaptive management.
In this breakout, we focus on three sticky ideas: creating and being guided by user stories, prioritization, and limiting WIP.
Lightning talk presented at MERL Tech 2018.
Often we think of dashboards as interactive reports instead of being digital products.
By rethinking our criteria of success for launching a new dashboard and borrowing from UX design, we can think more meaningfully about how we build dashboards stakeholders actually want to use.
Developing Dashboards with User-Centered DesignAmanda Makulec
Design sprint session hosted at the TechLady Hackathon, focused on the basic principles and techniques for starting a design process with who will use the data, rather than the tables and tools.
Slides from an interactive workshop focused on exposing M&E practitioners to design thinking approaches to understand the needs and experiences of data users at MERL Tech 2017
A quick overview of two techniques from design thinking that can help us better tailor data visualizations to the needs of our audiences. Personas can be used to identify illustrative audience members who represent large groups within our target audience, and journey maps help us understand how an audience receives, interprets, and acts on information.
The illustrative example presented here is rooted in a real world experience, but is not an actual persona and journey used in that work.
Building your own skills is one step in strengthening how you use visualization in your work, but fostering organizational change can be hard. Here are a few quick considerations on how to nurture data visualization as a personal skill and as an organizational value, and tips for successful collaborations on data visualization activities.
Originally presented as part of the HC3 Innovation Webinar Series on March 8, 2017.
Designing Data Visualizations to Strengthen Health SystemsAmanda Makulec
Slide deck from our hands-on workshop hosted at the 4th Global Symposium on Health Systems Research, focused on basic design tips, tricks, and best practices to improve your charts and graphs.
Visualizations with Empathy: Developing Audience PersonasAmanda Makulec
Presentation from Evaluation 2016 featuring ideas for how evaluators (and other data viz designers) can use the develop of personas to segment and understand their audiences. Instead of thinking just of stakeholder groups and job titles, we approach understanding audiences by developing empathy, borrowing from human centered design.
Highlights from three different speakers on the actual use of dashboards for decisionmaking.
MEASURE Evaluation shares the results of a landscape analysis looking for specific examples of dashboards prompting action. BroadReach shares an example of how their Vantage platform is making HIV data accessible in South Africa.

Data Visualization Design Best Practices WorkshopAmanda Makulec
Presentation shared at the #MA4Health Data Visualization workshop cofacilitated with my colleague Tahmid Chowdhury. Our aim was to empower participants with simple principles they can apply to any graph or chart to improve its effectiveness in communicating information, and to share resources on viz design relevant to global health practitioners.
Presented on May 7, 2015 to the TechChange Technology for M&E course. The aim of the presentation was to highlight key considerations in designing visualizations as part of international development programs, and includes both challenges of visualization in development programs and six things to consider when designing visualizations.
Chart Makeover: A Women's Nutrition Bar ChartAmanda Makulec
One of the most common requests I receive is to review charts and graphs and provide insight around how to improve them by using the formatting tools available in Excel.
This example shows the process of redesigning the chart to better facilitate comparison within regions of the trend towards a greater percent of women falling into the overweight and obese categories (from 1980 to 2008).
Borrowing from the communications and media experts, storyboarding is one of my favorite approaches to work through a data visualization design with a team. First identify your audience & what your data story is, then map it out visually to come to a common understanding of what your team is designing.
Thinking about how to communicate results from global health and development programs can be a challenge. By looking beyond long form, narrative, text reports, we can make our learning more accessible to wider audiences and promote the use of data for decision making by formatting our results in interesting, inviting ways. This deck includes a ideas, resources, and inspiration for great alternative reporting formats, including videos and SlideDocs.
An introduction to infographic design written for global health and development professionals, including ideas for storyboarding, design tools, and tips and tricks to create fun, meaningful infographics. Lots of links to free web-based tools and great resources.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
