The document discusses using data and technology to innovate guest experiences for a service brand. It talks about focusing on understanding consumer context to deliver personalized, relevant experiences in real-time. Data is described as the "oxygen" needed to understand context. Big data is characterized by its large volume, variety and velocity from digital sources. The goal is to use data strategically to design empathetic, natural experiences for humans.

SEOday 2017 - Technical SEO to get excited aboutCharlie Williams
Here are the slides for a talk I delivered at SEOday 2017 in Kolding, Denmark.
With content marketing as fashionable as it is, and some industry experts claiming its longer necessary, technical SEO gets lost in the shuffle. But the technical choices and opportunities for websites have developed at a huge rate in recent years.
In this talk we’ll look at how SEOs should continue to embrace their inner geek, and not be scared of jumping into the technical side. We’ll see how there’s some really exciting stuff we should be doing, such as page speed, Schema, AMP, Javascript, and log file analysis. And how this helps, not hinders, us form making amazing content.
SEO in your hands: Thinking mobile first (Digital Olympus December '16)Charlie Williams
Talk given for Digital Olympus on December 6th 2016.
No, this isn’t another talk telling you that this is the year of mobile. We can agree we’re past that now.
But in our mobile-first world, many SEOs are still creating content for desktop experiences. During this talk, Charlie will share some ideas on how a mixture of content development, technical SEO can AMP up our tactics, building SEO in the format our audience consumes it.
What exactly can you do for your country?Amir Amha
Presentation at Incitement Penang - talking about the potential of social entrepreneurship to delivery economic growth, social development and conserving the environment.
This document discusses the importance of trust. It notes that since the beginning of time, people have been taking advantage of others through practices like price fixing and monopolies. However, with greater technology, it will become harder for companies to get away with untrustworthy behaviors. The document emphasizes that trust is crucial in banking relationships and transactions, and that protecting customer trust is essential for companies' survival. It also cites a statistic showing millennials' high level of trust in banks compared to other institutions. Throughout, it stresses the central role of trust in commercial relationships and interactions.
One of the criticisms we’ve all heard about the Agile methodology is that it encourages mediocrity. It clouds our long-term vision with small-scale “quick wins” and forces us to focus on gradual improvements on an unambitious existing product. This talk aims to dispel this myth by distinguishing the difference between vision and process. The truth is that Agile does not stifle creativity, it does not prevent us from looking further into the future. I’ll give real-world examples of ways teams can continue to foster their long-term ambitions whilst maintaining a process which focusses on the here-and-now.
The document discusses tools, methods, and techniques for experience innovation and design. It covers topics like experience architecture, prototyping, storytelling, design thinking, and building minimum viable products. Tips provided emphasize challenging conventions, anticipating future needs, and designing with empathy and meaning to create natural experiences for humans.

This document is a complaint filed against defendants 1 AND 1 and KHOSRAVI for damages caused by their failure to properly complete home improvement projects according to contract. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants did not perform the work to code, destroyed existing structures, outsourced work to unqualified individuals who caused damage, and ultimately abandoned the projects leaving the plaintiff's home in disrepair. The plaintiff is suing for breach of contract, negligence, breach of warranty, recovery of contractor's license bond, and breach of third party beneficiary contract.
Rapid Data Modeling and Testing with FakeItAaron Benton
NoSQL systems allow for rapid development using flexible models through schema-less documents. However, these models still need to be defined to enforce consistency within the domain. Conceptual, logical, and physical data modeling is important, and often overlooked in the development process, regardless of the database platform. Once the models for a domain have been defined, data is then needed to start building the application. Have you ever spent time writing throw away code to generate or import a dataset? In this session, Aaron will cover how Shop.com/Market America uses Couchbase Server and Couchbase Mobile, including learnings on data modeling fundamentals and different ways to rapidly generate vast amounts of random / fake data to test models.
The document summarizes the 4Q16 financial results of Pine Bank.

This document provides information on different types of rashes in children and when parents should be concerned. It discusses common rashes like ringworm, fifth disease, chickenpox, impetigo, and warts. It also covers conditions such as contact dermatitis, hand-foot-mouth disease, eczema, hives, scarlet fever, roseola, rubella, Lyme disease, and diaper rash. The document emphasizes that while some rashes are minor, others can be life-threatening, so parents should see a doctor if concerned.
Converting a nuisance into Value:Financing Sutainable Water Hyacinth Manageme...CPA Stephen Omondi Okoth
The target audience covers policy makers and private sector in Eastern Africa Countries. The goal is to manage a water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) which has choked major water bodies in the basin in a way that adds value and give returns to investments in the management of the weed. Investments on research on livestock feed and organic manure formulation will, need to be guaranteed by MDGs, regional governments will need to finance related infrastructure while the private sector will need to invest in marketing and innovative production processes.

The document proposes a digital platform called The Repository to help researchers share their ongoing projects and progress to gain support and funding. It discusses problems with current systems leaving researchers disconnected from intentions/motivations. The Repository aims to demystify technology research by allowing researchers to share process/progress and gain funding, while enthusiasts can view and support projects. It provides validation from the success of sites like GitHub, Patreon and Kickstarter and outlines the market size and business model.
This document discusses working like a network. It suggests that working like a network means working faster than one is comfortable with and embracing failure as a learning opportunity. Networks enable bridging media, gaining feedback, iterating messages, and building relationships. The document advocates being action-oriented, defaulting to openness, focusing on users, cultivating curiosity, having autonomous aligned teams, and distributed decision making. Diversity in networks opens perspectives and creates opportunities.
If we only could predict the future. We as designers could solve problems, even before people knew they were problems.
In this talk, I will argue that while we cannot predict the future, we do have a few superpowers that help: Empathy and Imagination. If we combine those with proven storytelling techniques, we can make better products and designs, which do not predict — but actually shape — the future.
Predicting digital futures a sector at a time is relatively easy, but in a networked world driven by accelerating technologies this is insufficient. Sectors do not operate in isolation, they are connected, and as technology advances the boundaries morph, with whole industries overtaken and pushed aside. At the same time old jobs lose relevance and new skills are required, but in aggregate ever more people are employed. Today there is no country, no matter how big or rich, that has all the raw materials and people required to power its industries, healthcare systems, farming and food production, or indeed educational institutions. Insourcing, outsourcing, and globalisation are the result, and they are about to be augmented by global networking of facilities, skills and abilities
We have never known or understood so much about our world, and nor have we enjoyed the capabilities bestowed by modern technology. But keeping up to date, acquiring the right knowledge and skills is a growing challenge as ‘the world of the simple’ evaporates and complexity takes over.
“There are plenty of simple solutions to complex problems, but they are all wrong”
Preparing for change whilst coping with the status quo now presents many new challenges way beyond human ability and we have to partner with machines to aid our decisions. For organisations it is essential to find and employ the right people, and for people it is necessary to become ever more flexible and adaptable whilst continually acquiring pertinent capabilities.
“AI and robots are not going to push us aside, but they will change everything”
No man is an island, and neither is any country, company or institution. A digital and connected global interdependency now governs the fortunes of our species as technology empowers us at every level. In this presentation we highlight a small sample of the technologies on the horizon, the jobs they will destroy, enhance and create.
Telecom customer services appear to be stuck in the early 20th Century with the telephone call the primary channel for service provision that can take days to affect. Compare that to Google, Amazon, IBM, Apple and other modern companies where customers control service provision by the minute or second.
Modem business is driven by the accumulation of customer data, but the Telecom Industry sees vast amounts of customer-related data dormant and untapped. As a result, many new opportunities are lost. For example, the behavior of people, devices, systems, and networks give the earliest indicators of potential security problems.
OTT operators exploit networks and make far greater profits than any other sector and this might be further amplified by the roll-out of 5G. But without a fundamental rethink of FTTP, 5G will fail to deliver sufficient coverage and the advertised data rates. This pending failure is already seeing alternative solutions from outside the industry along with the realization that most ‘things’ on the IoT will never connect to the internet!
This document discusses emerging technologies and their potential impacts. It covers topics like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, robotics, cyborgs, smart materials, fusion power, artificial life, malware, biobots, network bots, and more. The document notes that many of these technologies are still in early experimental stages and face challenges before being ready for widespread use. It also discusses debates around AI safety and the relationship between humans and increasingly intelligent machines.

John Stauffer - Closing the Empathy Gap: Six Ways to Develop Better Consumer ...Julia Grosman
This document discusses identifying and addressing empathy gaps within businesses. It suggests that an empathy gap exists when:
- Clever segmentation is valued over customer insight
- Companies focus too much on quantitative data rather than understanding customer experiences
- Quantitative metrics take priority over qualitative feedback
The document emphasizes the importance of moving from strategic plans and quantitative analysis to testable hypotheses based on understanding the real experiences and needs of customers.

Staying afloat in a sea of technological change - Business Librarians Associa...Andy Tattersall
Librarians and information professionals are increasingly tied to technology and the challenges that come with it. As a result technology is seen as an ever important part of their role, whether they like it or not. Librarians champion digital literacy and citizenship, social media, internet privacy and equal access to knowledge across the web. Their roles are ever supported by a myriad of technologies that can solve the most niche or universal of problems. Technology adds power to the librarian’s skill set, but it also comes with caveats and pitfalls. What technology is best for the job, how do you find out about them and what are the implications for their use, such as security, longevity and support. To be a library and information professional in the digital age means you have to pay heed to these issues. This means a combination of the right skills, flexibility and an acceptance you may fail at times. They say you should never work with children and animals, at times it feels like should apply to technology. It can be unpredictable, challenging and disruptive - but these are all scenarios that librarians are well used to. They have the right skill sets and the purpose of this keynote will be to guide library professionals how to navigate the very rough seas of technology and find new and exciting opportunities.
The document summarizes the work of the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media (CASM). It notes that social media use has rapidly increased, capturing more political, social, and intellectual activity. CASM aims to use this "social media intelligence" or "socmint" to inform understanding, predict events, and provide situational awareness. It discusses using natural language processing to create classifiers and analyze social media data around the 2012 Olympics to detect events in real-time. However, it also outlines challenges with using social media data, including issues of representativeness, veracity, reality, validation, use, and legitimacy. It argues that social media intelligence is still an emerging discipline that must address these challenges to be a legitimate and
