This deck was prepared for Daniel School of Business at DU for their Executive MBA program. It includes a definition on CX and UX, then the digital devices that transpired 2008-2018.
This presentation goes through the past decade, 2008-2018, of how UX as a profession grew in the marketplace and pivotal digital shifts in the market. This was part of the Big Design 2018 conference in Dallas, Texas. Michael Vaughn is the author of this talk and presented it at the conference.
Consumer Experience [CX] Evolution - Full Report - LatitudeLatitude
Innovation signifies an object or idea that enhances life instead of flooding it with headaches, distraction, confusion. And yet, all too often, that’s exactly what happens when marketers and companies throw tech at the consumer in the name of innovation.
Innovation done for the sake of innovation means little unless guided by the realization that true innovation simplifies life and allows humans to be, well, more human.
If companies, whether brick-and-mortar retailers or digitally-native startups, want to remain relevant to the consumer in the digital age, they need to realize that innovation means simplification. They also need to keep in mind that today’s consumer is highly connected and different from consumers of the past in how they shop and in what they expect from their shopping experience.
Even with the rise of ecommerce, brands must recognize that physical retail still has a place. Unless customers change their desire to physically interact with products as part of a memorable experience (unlikely), the physical component will always find a place in retail.
If willingness leads a company to innovate by blending physical and digital to elevate user experience and meet expectations, the company will find success. If not, they’ll join the rest of the companies in the dust that either ignored or misunderstood the true meaning of, “innovation.”
I this report, we uncover the insights driving this change and focus on the top brands leading the way.
----
At Latitude, we look to track and understand the emerging intersection of brands and experiences. Beyond brick and mortar, we focus on the holistic consumer experience [CX] as this is what truly dictates success and breakthrough in the rapidly changing world of today.
We would love to work with your team to see how we may be able to provide value. Learn more at Lat.co

DAN Brand Accelerator: Client Pitch KeynoteJason Newport
Here is the Brand Accelerator pitch deck I began using to pitch current clients more than two years ago. I refined as we advanced through each phase once clients had signed on and we adjusted as necessary. I pitched this to more than twenty clients, all household brand names -- an converted each of them. Not a single brand declined to move forward.

trendwatching.com’s 10 CRUCIAL CONSUMER TRENDS FOR 2013TrendWatching
2013 will be the perfect storm of necessity and opportunity: some economies will do OK(-ish), others will be shaky, but in whatever market or industry you're in, those who understand & cater to changing consumer needs, desires and expectations will forever have plenty of opportunity to profit. A remapped global economy, new technologies (or 'old' technologies applied in new ways), new business models... hey, what's not to like?
Hence this overview of 10 crucial consumer trends (in random order) for you to run with in the next 12 months. Onwards and upwards:
Me Data - The Rising Opportunity for Self Optimization Apps Beyond
A new research study from creative digital agency Beyond, shows that the lack of concern over the privacy of Me Data - open, freely available, personal data - and the popularity of personal tracking apps is leading to a demand in self-optimization services like Google Now. These products and services will break out of the niches created by personal tracking apps, instead offering overall lifestyle self-optimization services based on several different strands of Me Data.

Competing for the Future: Iteration vs. Innovation by Brian SolisBrian Solis
Competing for the future starts with a shift in perspective. Without that shift, you will be confined to cycles of iteration—rather than innovation. Leading digital analyst, author and keynote speaker Brian Solis partnered with Oracle for a new paper, "Enterprise as a Service."
The ultimate challenge for the current generation of interaction designers is to create a cohesive ecosystem of devices, web-connected objects and cloud services. Designing products in isolation is not the right approach. New paradigms are emerging. It is a great time to be a designer. These are the slides I used in my three-hour workshop at UXPA China. Hope you like it!

Talk at LBi "What's next in UX design",February 2012
In the past designers made products useful, usable and delightful. If we adhered to these principles we believed products would sell. The business factors were mostly external to the product. Now the business model is an integral requirement that shapes digital design.
The consumer electronic products we used to own were the embodiment of access to entertainment, personal media and communication. The past decade witnessed the demise of products we own to the explosion of services, enabled by the internet, we use. Value perceptions are shifting from ownership towards seamless accessibility and habitual choice. Technology convergence affords ever new interactions between context, content and social relationships and consequently value perceptions are in perpetual flux. We've become aware, in retrospect, that business models driven by the internet and reacting to this flux seem to follow evolutionary tendencies.
- A look at a brief history of business models on the internet affected by evolutionary forces.
- Is it all about the survival of the fittest? And are there successful niche opportunities?
- Although evolution is inherently non-deterministic it doesn't harm to ask the question: what lies ahead and where are we going? Can products and services be designed to become more adaptive to evolutionary requirements?
Technological advances have allowed, in the last few years, a big step forward in the dynamic behaviors and interactions patterns that we used to do on the web, in the past. Starting from understanding the rules of motion design and how people interact with it during the processes of interaction we'll discover through practical insights and examples what is "under the hood" and how to prototype and develop all this design patterns with a more integrated and efficient design to code workflow.

The Billion Dollar Question: How to Monetize the Digital Opportunity?
Despite high viewership for prime-time shows online and the early success of program aggregation services like Hulu and Veoh, advertising revenue for video on the Web remains a tiny fraction of television advertising revenue. There’s plenty of confusion about what types of online ads work best: pre-rolls, in-stream, in-page, banners, branded ads or sponsorships? What are the most successful revenue models? Is there an organizing framework that allows stakeholders to think about where the future might be? What will be required to win?

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
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. 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.
