A strategic framework for digital measurementPeter Isaksson
Presentationen innehåller ett övergripande synsätt om hur man bör hantera mätning av den digitala kanalen. Ofta fastnar organisationer i frågor kring verktyg eller hur man ska mäta den enskilda webbplatsen/-erna. Insikten kring vad målgruppen anser viktigt har på senare tid uppmärksammats genom att "Consumer decision Journey" har blivit ett begrepp och arbetssätt som ligger till grund för hur företag ska möta sin målgrupp. Svårigheten där är för många att skifta synsätt från att se ur ett företagsperspektiv till ett målgruppsperspektiv. Kommer vi till mätning så blir det än svårare för många att översätta och få något vettig ur sina analyser av målgruppens agerande och hur detta knyter an till den egna verksamheten. Lättare är då att falla tillbaka på att optimera mätning av flöden och KPI:r på den egna webbplatsen eller appen. Med detta material vill jag bidra till att belysa diskussionen och synsättet genom att introducera en ny indikator bredvid KPI:n som jag gett namnet SPI. SPI står för "Story Performance Indicator" och ska reflektera målgruppens agerande i den digitala kanalen. En "story" kan vara det mest diskuterade ämnet, mest nedladdade appen inom ert verksamhetsområde eller ett beteende. Idén är att man genom att mäta detta kontinuerligt och sätta det i ett sammanhang där man i slutändan knyter det till företagets KPI kan identifiera företagets totala potential (SPI) och utnyttjandegrad (KPI). En KPI mäter den sista delen i en beslutsresa medans en SPI mäter början.
Kommentera och dela gärna materialet. Materialet är på intet sätt statiskt utan kommer att utvecklas med nya erfarenheter och kommentarer.

This is not your everyday data talk.
Through working deep inside the fastest growing SaaS startups in our space, we’ve studied the patterns, methods, and models for driving outsized results. The one common thread? How they use their data.
(How else would you grow from one marketer through to a $60M+ Series B just 12 months later?)
How do they make their data accessible, draw the right insights, set effective goals, prioritise and optimise processes, and automate ALL the (right) things.
So brace yourselves: we’re going to be navigating through AI, automation, “moving the needle”, and a minefield of other buzzwords to try to make sense of using your data for growth. But you’ll leave this talk with a simple framework and set of questions you can take and use right away.

Designing Outcomes For Usability Nycupa Hurst FinalWIKOLO
MarkoHurst.com :: My topic of discussion at the Feb 17 2009 NYC UPA.
Even as the pace of society, business, and the Internet continue to increase, many budgets and time lines continue to decrease. To compound this issue, there is a serious disconnect between business goals, user goals, and what visitors actually do on your site. UX practitioners need a simple and efficient way to reconcile these diverse needs while taking action on their data. Join us to learn about a new method for incorporating quantitative data such as web analytics and business intelligence into your qualitative user experience deliverables: personas, wireframes, and more. This presentation will include discussions of online business models, feedback loops for ensuring cross-discipline collaboration, and ongoing revisions.

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

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.

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
