Inciting Social Change with the Design of Social User Experiences
Hi and welcome to the last session of the day
Inciting change with the design of social user experiences.
Quite a mouthful huh?
Lots of pictures,
a couple of videos
and no bullet points,
so if you are tired you can just look at the pictures and make up your own story...

This is me,
Principal Architect in TXI
Coding since I was young
Joined ADBE 5 years ago, lucky to have been involved in projects with a social aspect
- sharing content on vzw media store
- private social network at WEF
- activity streams at Nike
Share some thoughts on how a social experience can incite change

TECHNOLOGY DRIVING SOCIAL CHANGE
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
30s 1.30
Tech is playing a part in social change,
Who would have imagined even a year or so ago that a fruit seller imoliating himself in
Tunisia would trigger the fall of the government
not only there, but also in
Egypt
Libya
and massive uprisings in
Bahrain
Syria
Algeria
4. TECHNOLOGY DRIVING SOCIAL CHANGE
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
30s 2.00
And closer to home,
isolated protest in downtown manhattan
more akin to an organised movement with protests in
Oakland
SF
(and as I learnt today) Memphis
further afield:
UK, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Switzerand, Italy, Malaysia, NZ, Ireland
and Mongolia
Tech is playing a part in social change, be it
- or occupy Wall Street
5. TECHNOLOGY DRIVING SOCIAL CHANGE
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
30s 2.30
But lets dial it back from governments and general assemblies
Within the field of product manufacturing and innovation,
Kickstarter is connecting people with ideas and plans to potential consumers
6. TECHNOLOGY DRIVING SOCIAL CHANGE
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
30s 3.00
And in health and wellness,
Nike plus is a social experience
encouraged millions to get fitter and healthier
(we’ll touch more on this one later)
7. TECHNOLOGY DRIVING SOCIAL CHANGE

30s 3.30
And in terms of doing good in the world
Kiva is a microfinance site that connects
our $25 with people that can use it to change their lives
pause,
of course, this trend isn’t just an internet enabled one.
Let’s go back a few years
8. THIS AIN’T NEW...
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
20s 4.00
This isnt new
...Quite a few years..
to the printing press.
This was one of the first enablers of wide broadcasting of ideas
And enabled this chap..
9. Luther
THIS AIN’T NEW...
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
45s 4.45
Martin Luther,
German priest
Objected to the selling of papal indulgences
hand-wrote a thesis disputing it in 1517
That would have been the end of the story,
except that in 1518
Friends printed the thesis and distributed it.
Within 2 weeks they had spread through germany
and within 2 months throughout Europe.
Triggering the protestant reformation of the church
10. THIS AIN’T NEW...
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
1m 5.45
Lets move forward a few years to the era of television
We think of television as spreading cultural change, but let me tell you another story
Its 1974,
eurovision song contest is on (pan european singing contest)
When the portugese song came on, it was a code to
trigger a coup to overturn the gov.
Able to get inside everyone’s homes, even under a dictatorship v important
11. A DATING SITE?
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
1m 6.45
move forward to something more recent
-Ian Tomlinson story
- Initial police report
- subsequent use of posting of youtube video
- triggered police retraction, change of policy & conviction of officer
*****
This wasn’t the intent of Youtube (orginally a dating site)
no more than TV was intended to trigger military coups
or printing press to reform the church
Although not deliberate agents of social change..
12. TRAITS OF A SOCIAL EXPERIENCE

@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
• 15s 7.00
... There are traits of a social experience,
that when in the right combination can provide fertile ground
to ENABLE social change
I’m going to walk through some of these in this talk and put a framework around them
13. MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS
SELF ACTUALIZATION
⚛
REP.
ESTEEM REWARD
COMMUNITY,
SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS
SAFETY SHELTER, WARMTH
PHYSIOLOGICAL EATING, BREATHING, SEX
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
2m 9.00
I’m sure most of you are familiar with Maslow’s hierarchy of needs:
- we are motivated by unsatisfied needs
- only by satisfying lower level needs can we move onto higher level
- Physiological - eating, breathing, reproducing
- Safety - shelter, warmth, protection from harm
- Social - friendship, belonging to a group
- Esteem - recognition & accomplishment
- Self actualization - creativity, truth, justice, meaning
-- and I think we can apply this same framework to social experiences
14. MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS : SOCIAL
SELF ACTUALIZATION
⚛
REP.
REWARD
ESTEEM
IDENTITY
COMMUNITY,
SOCIAL COLLABORATION
OPEN BORDERS,
SAFETY
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
PHYSIOLOGICAL PLATFORM, GAMIFICATION
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
1m 10.00
So for a social experience, we have a similar hierarchy of needs.
I’ll walk through each of these in a moment
- Physiological - The base technology platform, game mechanics
- Safety - Open borders, freedom of expression
- Social - community, collaboration
- Esteem - Identity, Reward and reputation
- Self actualization - social change
15. GAMIFICATION
http://bit.ly/gamify_UX @__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
1m 11.00
Gamification
- not going to dwell on this in detail, to pay lipservice would be to do it a disservice
- If you want to get a great summary of gamification, check out
Nicole Lazarro’s talk during UX week last year (link at bottom of page)
Gami cation is the new social. I really don't want to dwell on gami cation in detail here, as to pay lip service to the movement would be to do a disservice to it. It's a buzzword for sure, but listening to
Nicole Lazarro (CEO of xeodesign.com) speak not long a er I moved to the Bay Area, really reinforced for me a concept that she captured more succinctly in a presentation of hers that I would highly
encourage you to watch -- " e Future of UX is play" ( h p://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ytNSKPvnRw )
When we were creating the rst rich experiences at Macromedia, Michael Gough and Mike Sundermeyer captured a number of soundbites that became mantras for our UX team from project to project:
"When everything is equal nothing is important". "Separate content and control". ey were design memes that thrived and survived from digital experience to digital experience.
Similarly, Gami cation is a rich seam to tap for social design memes. I would highly encourage our teams to become familiar with the concepts of "Hard Fun. Easy Fun. Serious Fun. People Fun". To
think about what it means to "suspend consequences", "amplify feedback", etc. ey are considerations for the design of social experiences.
e importance of play, the science of what makes one game more sticky than another, are key concepts in the creation of a socially branded experience - because at the end of the day, as we ascend
Maslow's hierarchy of needs, as we move beyond survival to self actualization, our motivations are more about the psychology of reward than the necessity and survival (which in enterprise terms, is "I
have to be able to do this, to keep my job").
I suspect the relationship between Gami cation and the Art and Science of Social Experience Design will be a study in itself. For now, consider me li ing one corner, so that you might li the other three.
16. PLATFORM
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
1m 12.00
PLATFORM -
Basic, but essential stuff:
Take New York City
opened up all their data for anyone to make use of
This allows people to tap into the data warehouse of an entire city...
, and allow for connections, relationships and activities, plan for a big data challenge
17. OPEN BORDERS
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
30s 12.30
As a follow on from platform;
OPEN Borders - data should be able to flow in & out of your platform
- NYC big apps encourages ppl to make these connections
For example...
18. OPEN BORDERS
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
30s 13.00
Roadify brings together traffic reports and ppls location to create best up to the second take
on where your bus is...
19. OPEN BORDERS
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
30s 13.30
Sportaneous
allows peopel to see all the sports games suggested
find local sporting facilities etc.
20. OPEN BORDERS
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
30s 14.00
or - how about this - parking finder
shows you where free / prohib / metered on street parking
and off street parking
21. OPEN BORDERS
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
30s 14.30
and my personal favorite,
dont eat at
Which sends you a text if the place you just checked into has high health violations...
--- ANOTHER OPEN BORDERS EXAMPLE : KINECT---
22. FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
1m 15.00
Freedom of expression
- If you censor,
limit modes of communictation,
ppl will find somewhere else to go
-- can be scary for brands, but you have no choice in the matter
23. COMMUNITY
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
1.5 m 16.30
Community
most obvious of these is facebook.
Traditionally community is formed along the axis of location
ppl coalesce by their proximity to each other
-online, the world is flat
- axis of shared intent and belief
I like Jazz or sailing
i want to get fit
- lets take a look at what Nike plus has done around community....
24. COMMUNITY
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
1m 17.30
Community
- finding like-minded people to collectively get fitter,
- dont need to be running at the same time
This is like a collaborative approach to getting fit;
lets take a look at another thing Nike have done really well in collaboration...
25. COLLABORATION
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
1m 18.30
Collaboration,
its about allowing people to harness each other to reach a goal. This is one of my fav
examples of collaboration:
run this gets posted on my social network
if anyone replies *during* my run,
then they get read out to me on my phone.
So Im getting encouragement from friends
which helps to complete my task
26. IDENTITY
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
1m 19.30
Lets move to Identity -
if creating a community is important;
standing out from the crowd is equally so
Twitter great example.
140 characters - low fi
160 character bio,
twitter faces,
twitter backgrounds
The amount of individuality and personality that comes out of twitter is really pleasantly
surprising...
27. IDENTITY
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
15s 19.45
the fidelity of the channel doesnt limit the individuality
... people express...
even ACII signatures can tell you a lot about who you are talking to
28. IDENTITY
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
30s 20.15
And then back to Nike plus.
This is my page, and you can see
I’ve created my own avatar.
I start to have a personality on the site over and above my running stats
29. ACCOMPLISHMENT / REWARD
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
45s 21.00
Accomplishment / Reward
As you can see, Im a little overweight and lazy at the moment
If I start running, then my avatar starts to get thinner,
and as I progress through the levels, the UI changes colour,
so I can feel accomplishment
(I ran extra trips to get ‘green’)
30. ACCOMPLISHMENT / REWARD
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
30 21.30
Accomplishment / Reward
Another example is kickstarter,
The reward?
early access to a product,
limited ‘goodies’
or items at a discount to their end retail price
31. REPUTATION
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
1.5 m 23.00
Reputation confers power and influence within a social experience
Reputation - Klout
Klout is used to measure social influence ie reputation online,
a combination of
reach (size of yr network)
amplification (likelihood of your message being acted on)
network (influence of your network)
and this number is often used to help marketers understand who their influential customers
are; who should perhaps be listened to more...
32. ACHEIVEMENT / REWARD
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
30s 23.30
and in an interesting circle,
you can be rewarded for your reputation...
people with high klout given freebies ...
33. REPUTATION
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
30s 24.00
Similarly on foursquare, people who engage most are given mayorships,
signifying that their voice should be heard more
... These are some of the traits that I would consider including
as part of a social experience,
that could enable social change.
But this begs the question...
34. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF IT’S WORKING?

I’ve taken this diagram from Eric Reis
- Lean Startup
And I think this is a really neat way of understanding
how to move forward in any new endeavor
given time is short, not going to go into detail,
but if i leave you with one thing, it’s that if you don’t measure and track your cust exp.
you cant understand what levers / traits need work
BUILD MEASURE LEARN
36. IN SUMMARY
Adobe Confidential
Thursday, November 10, 11
.15 25.30
so Im going to summarize
but im going to do it with the aid of someone called Colin
who has some interesting dance moves
37. SUMMARY
@__pbh
Thursday, November 10, 11
3.00 30.00
So in summary
- technology & experiences can enable (not create) social change
- there is a hierarchy of traits
gamification or play (fun)
the platform (Music)
open boundaries (out in a field)
freedom of expression (duh)
community (groups of ppls)
collaboration (dancing together, raising hands together)
Identity (all separate id’s even though we think of them as kids on a hill)
award / acheivement (euphoria)
reputation (known as dude on the hill)
- and for you, creating these experiences
need to measure and optimize those experiences
- doing that you just might create a platform
that enables real social change to happen
