David Simon's a UX Designer at ThoughtWorks who gave a 5 minute UX lightning talk on the importance of UX when building products for other cultures.
January 31st 2013
This document outlines 3 principles for UX research for startups:
1. Be honest about your confidence levels in what you know about users and the UI by categorizing statements as hypotheses, assumptions, questions, or blind spots.
2. Be explicit by capturing your statements about what you know, think, or don't know about users and the UI.
3. Frame your statements about users and the UI as clear, testable predictions or questions to help guide user research.
Using behaviour design to create a minimum loveable productUX Café
The document discusses behavior design and persuasion techniques for product development. It presents models like the Fogg Behavior Model that explain how motivation, ability, and triggers influence behavior. It then discusses concepts like the hook, investment, and rewards from Nir Eyal's model of engagement. The bulk of the document consists of slides about Kahoot!, an educational game platform, emphasizing the importance of an engaging hook, instant rewards, embedding games in lessons, and encouraging deeper investment and rewards over time. It concludes by recommending a focus on the core hook to make products loveable, using persuasion for deeper behaviors, making promises to users, and doing outreach outside the product.

This document provides a summary of recipes for applying lean startup principles in large organizations. It outlines 6 recipes: 1) Test your biggest hypothesis first, 2) Slice it thinly, 3) Timebox it, 4) Fail fast, fail often, 5) Check the data, and 6) Build up enough momentum. For each recipe, it describes the problem it addresses and provides guidance on implementing that recipe through examples and best practices like identifying assumptions to test, monitoring changes over time, and keeping focus through iterative improvements. The overall aim is helping large organizations adopt a startup mentality of frequent learning through quick, data-driven experimentation.
This document is recruiting for various puppy roles at a company called Borrow My Doggy, which connects dog owners with people who want to borrow dogs. It emphasizes the need to build a minimum viable product and start somewhere, while using dog-related words and themes. It lists roles like Chief Puppy, Community Puppy, Tech Puppy, Media Puppy, and Social Puppy and encourages the reader to get involved, saying they need you.
Brand Driven Design - Mike Atherton - UX Café May '13UX Café
This document discusses brand-driven design and the importance of branding. It defines a brand as an idea that a company stands for, made real through their actions and expressed via their personality. A brand exists in the mind of the customer, not in what a company says it is. The document emphasizes that brands should live their values in everything they do and focus on differentiation, reframing categories, and making their differences shine through brand-driven product design. It concludes by thanking the audience.
The document discusses strategies for developing the minimum viable product (MVP) that will gain the most customer love with the least effort. It advocates launching early with a focus on customer validation, continually improving the product based on learning, and balancing speed to market with quality of experience. The goal is to start with a viable core product and build from there to something that delights, excites and creates a loyal customer base or "tribe".

Borrowing & Iterating in Design - David Mack - UX Café May '13UX Café
David Mack provides tips for overcoming a blank page when writing or creating. He recommends bombarding yourself with examples from other works to spark ideas. Next, diverge by quickly drawing many ideas and converging to identify the best approaches. Finally, live-prototype ideas by testing them on other websites to get feedback before implementing. The document shares advice for generating new ideas and content by looking outward for inspiration when facing an empty page.
Design the right thing, then design the thing right - Ben Stewart - UX Café M...UX Café
The document discusses service design and presents a service design matrix tool. The matrix maps customer touchpoints like the hotel front desk, room, and website to stages of the customer experience from discovering to leaving. The tool can be used to analyze strengths and weaknesses of existing services, prioritize new service features, and map cross-platform journeys. The presentation emphasizes designing the right service before focusing on implementation details.
The document provides advice for startups on product development, emphasizing the importance of simplicity through focusing efforts, clear communication, being open to good ideas from any source, using prototypes and sketching over wireframes as deliverables, and defining purpose as strongly as defining the product.
Startups can learn four key lessons from film directors: 1) Have a clear hierarchy with a visionary leader rather than a committee-based structure; 2) Develop your vision and strategy with input from a few experts rather than crowdsourcing; 3) Leaders should focus on their own expertise rather than trying to do everything; and 4) Empower teams to execute the vision while also advising the leadership.
The document discusses how having too many choices can overwhelm people and reduce satisfaction with their decisions. It suggests that while choice is empowering, too much choice can lead to anxiety, regret, and missed opportunities. The document recommends that to help people make choices, systems should support maximizers with clear labeling, progressive disclosure, and filtering, while also making it easy for satisficers through recommendations, framing options simply, and differentiation.

Carlos Saba - Backlog busting: What the f**k should I build next?UX Café
The document provides guidance on prioritizing a product feature backlog by scoring features based on three criteria: demand, difficulty, and impact. Demand refers to how much users want the feature. Difficulty considers how challenging it will be to implement. Impact evaluates the effect of the feature. Features are scored 1 to 3 on each criteria and totaled, with higher scoring features developed first to manage demands while considering effort and effects. The approach aims to help organizations tackle feature requests and determine the best next steps.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
Generating privacy-protected synthetic data using Secludy and MilvusZilliz
During this demo, the founders of Secludy will demonstrate how their system utilizes Milvus to store and manipulate embeddings for generating privacy-protected synthetic data. Their approach not only maintains the confidentiality of the original data but also enhances the utility and scalability of LLMs under privacy constraints. Attendees, including machine learning engineers, data scientists, and data managers, will witness first-hand how Secludy's integration with Milvus empowers organizations to harness the power of LLMs securely and efficiently.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
