Social CRM - #Datamarketing @DM2013Toronto ArCompany
CRM is not a new concept, but with the emergence of Big Data, it has the ability to transform organizations more than ever.
The rise of the social customer has also given rise to communities, friends, and recommendation sites having profound influence in their purchase decision. Companies have gotten too big to think about the individual customer. Companies have ignored the statistically insignificant.
These days, that same customer has the ability to bring down Goliath. I always come back to United Breaks Guitars incident. The truth is that we've now come full circle and these days in order to get a customer and keep them you have to go beyond just meeting their expectations.
A recent article: "The Reason So Many Brands Fail On Social Media Is That They Don't Actually Talk To Their Customers" indicated the following:
The wealth of data on customer desires being generated is helping organizations work more effectively, and achieve better results.
Social customer management doubles the percentage of sales leads that result in actual sales, relative to traditional CRM approaches.
Corporations are starting to recognize that paying attention to customer comments, interests and preferences–once deemed "irrelevant" by brands– becomes the competitive differentiator.
To date, defining "Influence" has been associated with the black art of "lies, damned lies, and statistics." 'Buzz metrics' have been a noble attempt to apply Google's PageRank (PR) algorithm to identifying Influence, but there's a small problem - it doesn't work, and it never did . . . at least not when we evaluate social interaction. Influence is contextual, specific, often short-lived, and lies manifests within a network. If we each have 5 RTs and @Mentions, we're not equally "Influential", although the Google PR may rank us as such. The paradigm shift is from PageRank to PeopleRank, and the latter is all about visualization. Seeing Influence is all about moving beyond mathematical rankings, and in this case, pictures are truly worth a thousand words. In this session, you'll learn how to visually map out a conversation network of social interaction, in addition to identifying where "Influence" truly lies. Being able to visualize the social structure and pattern of Influence will open your mind to a world of new possibilities with Social Media. What to do with this knowledge will depend on your goals and objectives, but one thing is for sure - you'll never see Influence in quite the same light again.

Why Can’t the Business Get Behind Streaming?! With Becky Gandillon | Current 2022
Technologists understand that Kafka is reliable and durable; fast and fault-tolerant. It handles use cases both large and small. So why isn't it being used everywhere by everyone? Because the technology itself isn't the answer. As an engineer-turned-data-guru, it took me way too long to figure that out. No technology will make a difference in any business without the proper buy-in from stakeholders (including non-technical stakeholders), enablement support, and carefully crafted adoption frameworks. During this session, you'll learn about how to communicate the value of technology decisions to non-technical co-workers or stakeholders. And we'll talk about some very specific buy-in, enablement, and adoption activities and suggestions for supporting streaming implementations.

Components of Communication
In this section you will learn how communication in action really works. The components of communication are people, messages, channels, feedback, codes, encoding and decoding, noise, and situation.
Building behaviors
Current Behaviors 360 Feedback
Write down at least three communication skills you think you regularly do well in your daily conversations with others. Next, list three communication skills you need to improve on over the course of this semester. Now ask at least three people from different social groups in your life to answer the same questions about you. For example, you could pick a friend, a sibling, and a parental figure. How do their answers compare to yours? What are the top two communication behaviors you want to focus on improving as a result of this class? Let the people in your life know you are working on these skills; their support will encourage you to practice these skills.
PEOPLE
People are involved in the human communication process in two roles—as both the sources and the receivers of messages. A source initiates a message, and a receiver is the intended target of the message. Individuals do not perform these two roles independently, however; instead, they are the sources and the receivers of messages simultaneously and continually.The people with whom we communicate are diverse. They are of different ages and genders and perhaps from different cultural backgrounds. Each of these characteristics associated with diversity can influence the process of communication as people attempt to negotiate the meaning of messages.
THE MESSAGE
The message is the verbal and nonverbal form of the idea, thought, or feeling that one person (the source) wishes to communicate to another person or a group of people (the receivers). The message is the content of the interaction. The message includes the symbols (words and phrases) you use to communicate your ideas, as well as your facial expressions, bodily movements, gestures, physical contact, and tone of voice, as well as other nonverbal codes. The message may be relatively brief and easy to understand or long and complex. Some experts believe that real communication stems only from messages that are intentional, those that have a purpose. However, we believe that some messages can be unintentional. For example, you may not intend to show your emotions in certain situations, but your facial expressions and tone of voice might tip others off that you are angry or anxious. These unintended messages add potentially important information to the communication interaction.
THE CHANNEL
The channel is the means by which a message moves from the source to the receiver of the message. Think about how you communicate with your family. In some situations you are face-to-face and use your voice to send messages through sound waves. In other situations you might use your voice to talk over the phone, and yet other situations might involve text messages or .
Blogged in Oct 2002 this PPT looked at how to segment the "chat" market by usage occasion. It aimed at new product development and I blogged it in June 2003 when it seemed more relevant to the learning required to enhance collaboration with emerging social software. The target of this chat exploration was focused on determining the consumer frameworks to aid decision-making. I suspect that today a similar model could inform the mobile social market.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
8. Dunbar’s number Dunbar's number is suggested to be a theoretical cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. These are relationships in which an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person. Proponents assert that numbers larger than this generally require more restrictive rules, laws, and enforced norms to maintain a stable, cohesive group. No precise value has been proposed for Dunbar's number. It has been proposed to lie between 100 and 230, with a commonly used value of 150. Dunbar's number states the number of people one knows and keeps social contact with, and it does not include the number of people known personally with a ceased social relationship, nor people just generally known with lack a persistent social relationship, a number which might be much higher and likely depends on long-term memory size.
