DESIGN THE PRIORITY, PERFORMANCE AND UXPeter Rozek
Page speed is increasingly important for websites. Performance is User Experience and not only a Development Issue. Performance is a process and starts in conception and design.
The technologies and people we are designing experiences for are constantly changing, in most cases they are changing at a rate that is difficult keep up with. When we think about how our teams are structured and the design processes we use in light of this challenge, a new design problem (or problem space) emerges, one that requires us to focus inward. How do we structure our teams and processes to be resilient? What would happen if we looked at our teams and design process as IA’s, Designers, Researchers? What strategies would we put in place to help them be successful? This talk will look at challenges we face leading, supporting, or simply being a part of design teams creating experiences for user groups with changing technological needs.
Executives are the Simon Cowell of the business world: impatient, critical, often caustic. But they're also desperately searching for talent. How do you make the right impression? These 5 tips will get you started
Here at Table19, we believe that great work is only possible when clients and their agencies work together as a team. This is a presentation written by our Executive Creative Director Graham Wall, who on his first day in this industry heard the senior team he was shadowing say something he couldn’t understand: that the client had bought the wrong idea.
This set in motion a desire to understand how and why this had happened, and make sure it never happened again. This presentation details Graham’s learnings and philosophies, and shows how agencies and clients can create better work together.
Publishing Production: From the Desktop to the CloudDeanta
The publishing landscape is evolving from a format-driven industry to a content-focussed one. As such our processes and technology solutions should adapt to meet these changing needs. This presentation looks at moving from a static desktop-based workflow to that of a collaborative cloud-based one.
https://www.wrike.com/blog - We surveyed creative teams to discover their biggest challenges and bottlenecks, from conception to completion. And what we discovered was: creative teams have to organize requests, listen to feedback, and seek approvals, all while trying to incorporate their own creative vision, making it difficult to prioritize and meet deadlines. Check out the details in our Slideshare.

Creating an Interactive Content Strategy that Works with Technologyion interactive
Scott Brinker's presentation from 2016 ContentTech Virtual Event:
Designing Interactive Content to Power Your Marketing Data Strategy
Interactive content—things such as quizzes, assessments, calculators, and configurators—is qualitatively different than the passive content that audiences simply read, watch, or listen to. Interactive content experiences are essentially miniature software programs, or web apps, which have logic and user experience wrapped into their design and operation. Most importantly, they give marketers the ability to collect and leverage a rich set of data that is explicitly volunteered by participants.
Marketers can design interactive content with this data in mind to develop a broader marketing data strategy. This presentation covers frameworks for both the user-facing options that marketers
can apply, to solicit the right kind of data from prospects at different stages of the buyer's journey, and the back-office management of this data through different marketing automation platforms (MAP) and CRM systems.
Topics include:
- Managing explicit "digital dialogue" data vs. implicit "digital body language"
- Applying advanced progressive profiling tactics in interactive content
- Pipelining richer data profiles from marketing to sales through your marketing stack
- Understanding scenarios for programmatic data vs. human-consumable data

Metadata Matters – Collaboration, Search, and Information Governance at Brail...Concept Searching, Inc
Brailsford & Dunlavey has earned a reputation as a premier national program management firm, overseeing billions of dollars in new construction and renovation projects. It offers comprehensive services, ranging from planning through implementation, and manages all areas of risk, and maintains constant control of budget, schedule, and quality.
Brailsford & Dunlavey’s goal was to update its SharePoint 2010 intranet, to refresh an out-of-the-box design and to improve usability and collaboration. The existing intranet lacked a clear governance structure, effective information architecture, and mobile accessibility. With nearly 70,000 documents and more than 8,000 list items on its intranet, and another 200,000 on its client portal, the firm needed a way to make intranet content significantly more accessible to employees across several national offices.
The redeveloped and redesigned intranet was implemented with responsive design, to encourage the highly mobile workforce to access the site from anywhere. The intranet’s new, intuitive design reflects the look and feel of Brailsford & Dunlavey’s public facing website, and the refreshed information architecture has provided a clear path to find important information.
Join Brailsford & Dunlavey and Concept Searching to:
• Discover what was done from a technology perspective
• Understand how all the firm’s documents were tagged and classified
• Find out how long the project took
• Hear about challenges and lessons learned

You Spoke, We Listened – Achieving a New Level of Search Optimization with Go...Concept Searching, Inc
Join us to learn how the combination of Google Search Appliance and conceptClassifier improves search outcomes. Concept Searching’s industry recognized technology, still unique in the market, provides the Google Search Appliance index with automatically generated semantic metadata, based on our core compound term processing, that generates multi-term metadata that represents concepts.
If you are using Google Search Appliance or evaluating search options, this webinar will provide highly useful information to understand how conceptClassifier improves search results in any search environment.
How does conceptClassifier improve Google Search Appliance results?
• Eliminates end user tagging.
• Automatically generates keywords and phrases that represent a concept.
• Accepts queries in natural language, with the user typing words, phrases or whole sentences, and inter-relationships among content,
• Retrieves highly relevant content even if the results do not contain the search string,
• Improves dynamic navigation through the use of semantic metadata.
• Improves result biasing as the results will automatically include related keywords and concepts.
• Eliminates the development of collections as the taxonomy hierarchy can be used to guide users to specific content based on their role and function – this also applies to segmentation.
• Can load synonym lists, but are not needed as the taxonomy manager component will recognize synonyms as well as related concepts during auto-classification. The results can be easily and quickly modified by an administrator.
• Blacklist and stop words can also be managed in the taxonomy component, without creating and uploading files and eliminating human subjectivity.
• Taxonomies are easily tuned and managed by Subject Matter Experts, providing unique features not available in any other taxonomy product.

10 steps to salvation: Creating digital governance that worksKate Thomas
For organisations to succeed in the digital age, they need to adopt new frameworks and ways of working. The key to doing this is to dust off and turn inside-out existing governance frameworks, reinvigorating them with more nimble ways of working. Governance is no longer a separate policy or individual decision maker. It is everyone working in digital. It is every digital touch point and policy. It is the digital strategy, the customer strategy, the media strategy, the KPI framework, analytics, and SEO.
Twenty-first century governance is the supportive mesh of digital success.

In addition, Jason shares a few Liquid Content tips and tricks, which you can apply to your own sites.
Active Evoq customers are always entitled to the latest version of the CMS. If you're not running Evoq 9, you’re missing out on features that may be essential to the success of your site. For example:
Form Builder, a new drag-and-drop interface for building, managing and hosting forms

How the Right CMS Makes Content Future-FriendlyDNN
With so much information being published, so many devices to display it on, and design trends in constant flux, it can be hard to keep your website in good shape.
Not only do you need to deliver content and functionality today, but also when the next disruptive technology comes along.
How to keep up, let alone get ahead? The answer lies in future-friendly content, which is stored, structured, and connected outside any user interface.
A CMS that uses a structured-content approach is necessary to re-use, re-mix, and re-style content for omnichannel publishing.
In this presentation, Carrie Hane, Principal Strategist of Tanzen, will show how subject domain modeling combined with content modeling sets the stage for a cross-discipline, content-centric implementation process.
Instead of developers guessing what content types are needed to support the content, specifications are developed collaboratively. The result is a faster build and easier content management.
The New DNN is like nothing you’ve seen before. This presentation covers:
1) The trends we’re seeing in the market
2) A glimpse of the New DNN
3) Our approach to building products

- New analytics capabilities that quickly surface key metrics for every page on your site
- A resource library that drives more leads from your white papers and webinars
What’s the right Content Management System (CMS) for your business? As an IT leader influencing line-of-business decision-makers, how do you select a CMS that meets your organization’s needs?
In this presentation, Geoffrey Bock, a noted industry analyst, identifies the essential capabilities for managing web content and links them to business benefits. Bock highlights the shifting set of IT tasks for managing websites, and details those that rightfully belong to non-technical users.
In addition, Bock provides a roadmap for linking the IT and business requirements of your organization to the relevant capabilities of a modern CMS platform.
An intranet is a key digital platform for an organization to communicate with its workforce.
An intranet can drive a "one company culture" by keeping employees informed, helping them get their job done and contributing to a happier and more engaged workforce.
When evaluating a CMS for your intranet, you need to ensure it has the features your organization needs. In this presentation, intranet expert Steve Bynghall details the ten essential features of an intranet CMS.
Steve highlights the business value of each feature and illustrates its benefits to both end users and the organization as a whole.

Ash shares the tools and techniques he employs to harden the security of websites. If you’re managing .NET websites, this presentation will arm you with tips you can apply right away.
When publishing content to your website, it’s important to have Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in mind.
Whether optimizing on-page factors such as keywords and meta descriptions, or off-page factors such as inbound links, implementing your SEO strategy starts with control of a flexible Web Content Management System (Web CMS).
In this presentation, SEO expert Bruce Clay provides 10 tips on using your Web CMS to improve SEO.

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.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert

The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

3. What is an intranet strategy?
• An intranet strategy is a future plan of action to develop your
intranet
• It is:
• Aligned to organizational objectives
• Likely to be a document, a presentation or both, but no standard format
• May contain a vision, a high-level roadmap, KPIs and more specific
objectives
• It’s not:
• the business case
• requirements document
• project plan

Copyright; Two Hives Ltd / Intranetdirections.com. All Rights Reserved.
4. Why you need an intranet strategy
• Intranets do zillions of things: what’s your priority?
• Intranets make a strategic difference: you want to get it right
• Help make plans realistic and achievable
• Bring teams, stakeholders and even users with you, all
working from the same page
• Provides a focus for decision-making
• Establishes what needs to be measured by clarifying benefit

Copyright; Two Hives Ltd / Intranetdirections.com. All Rights Reserved.
5. But many organizations..
• Don’t have an up to date intranet strategy
• Only consider intranet strategy when installing a new platform
or major upgrade
• Gamble by starting implementation projects or purchasing
intranet software without one!

running if you are not
on the right road?“
German proverb
6. Developing an intranet strategy
• It’s straightforward to do
• But needs time, thought and a little effort
• Barrier 1: Intranet teams get lost in operations
› Hard to find the time
› Hard to get the headspace
• Barrier 2: Stakeholders have pre-conceived ideas
› Assumptions about intranet’s role (it’s obvious, isn’t it?)
› Technology decision already made!

Research Analysis Articulation Tactics Finalizing
‘Research’ is the process of gathering information and data
to fully understand your organization and its employees.
9. Why research is important
• Be effective
› Design around users and their needs
› Without the foundation of knowledge you risk failing
• Be objective
› Rise above your own preconceptions
› Rise above stakeholder assumptions
• Be credible
› Organizational processes
› Passing the “scary skeptical senior stakeholder test”
• Drive engagement
› Change management through dialogue
9
Copyright; Two Hives Ltd / Intranetdirections.com. All Rights Reserved.
10. Successful approaches for research
• Take structured approach
› Decide on a timetable
› Make a plan
• Be inclusive
› Talk to stakeholders and employees
› Research all sections of your workforce if possible
• Gather all data
› Will be useful later down the line
› Don’t ask the same question again
10

11. Research: sources
• Stakeholders
› Interviews
› Workshop
• Employees
› Intranet survey
› Interviews
› Focus groups and workshops
› Observation
• Extended team
› Central roles
› Publishers, Super-users, Advocates, Community managers

› Current intranet metrics
› Other statistics (Email, Help Desk etc.)
› Employee engagement survey
• External
› Peers in other organizations
› Case studies and best practices
• Strategies
› Organizational strategy

Copyright; Two Hives Ltd / Intranetdirections.com. All Rights Reserved.
Research Analysis Articulation Tactics Finalizing
‘Analysis’ is the honest assessment of the issues,
challenges and successes suggested by your research.
14. Analysis: identifying the themes
• Issues
› Identify the issues and problems suggested by your data
› Look for specific and repeatable themes
› Attempt to explain why an issue is occurring in an objective way
• Challenges and successes
› Look to the future and identify potential barriers to what is achievable
› Look at success stories and why they have worked for repeatable
approaches
14
Copyright; Two Hives Ltd / Intranetdirections.com. All Rights Reserved.
15. Analysis: the importance of why
• Employees can’t find the content they need on the intranet
• A bad example of analysis:
› The intranet is rubbish and the search engine is useless. Most of our
employees are too old to understand how to use digital tools anyway.
Let’s get a new intranet and hire some more millennials!
• A good example of analysis:
› The navigation on our intranet is not based on how employees think or
the tasks they need to complete, so it can be hard to find content
quickly. The search engine is basic for our needs and is not actively
managed to make improvements. There is too much out of date or
irrelevant content which makes it even harder to find valuable items.
Staff in our contact center especially need to find content quickly.
15
Copyright; Two Hives Ltd / Intranetdirections.com. All Rights Reserved.
16. Analysis: wading through the data
• In reality research can be an iterative process with new
questions emerging
• What are the trends that emerged in your mind?
• Codify data for analysis (useful for the business case…)
• Use software to help e.g. mind-mapping tools, note-taking app
or a simple spreadsheet

17. Articulation

Copyright; Two Hives Ltd / Intranetdirections.com. All Rights Reserved.
Research Analysis Articulation Tactics Finalizing
Articulation takes your findings and expresses a headline
strategy of what you want to achieve, your underlying
approach and your priorities.
18. Articulating your approach
• Your approach is what you’re doing and why, not how you’re
going to do it (that’s tactics!)
• Your tactics may change so documenting your approach
makes your strategy a little more evergreen
• Your approach covers:
› What you’re going to do
› What you’re hoping to solve
› What you’re going to achieve
› Aligns it back to broader goals
• Consider several approaches
• It’s still a headline view
18
Copyright; Two Hives Ltd / Intranetdirections.com. All Rights Reserved.
19. Sample approach
• As part of our company’s strategy to improve processes and
customer service, we must better connect employees to the
information they need on a daily basis to carry out their work.
• We will ensure that users find content more quickly by having
a more intuitive intranet navigation and improving the
capabilities of our search. This means employees, particularly
in our contact center, will find content more quickly.
• We will ensure the intranet only has relevant content which is
not out of date and more easily searchable. This will help
improve findability and the overall value of the intranet.
• We will replace our intranet CMS which is nearly at the end of
its life cycle. A new CMS must have better search capabilities
and support for content management processes.

20. Articulating your strategy
• You might not be able to achieve all your approaches in one
shot
• Work out the priority area(s)
• This will help dictate tactics and your high-level roadmap
• Help spread the effort (strategy must be achievable)
• Remember strategy isn’t always about a new platform
• No standard template or way to express a strategy

Research Analysis Articulation Tactics Finalizing
Tactics are the actions you will deploy to achieve your
strategy.
22. • Tactics are the actions you apply to support your approaches,
they are not a strategic objective in their own right.
• The same tactic can be applied to different approaches
• Select those that are going to work for you (remember those
challenges and successes from your research)
• Tactics can cover:
› The plans for your intranet
› Governance
› New capabilities
› A project in its own right
› Even sitting tight for a while

Research Analysis Articulation Tactics Finalizing
Finalizing is turning your strategy into a finished article
you can bring in front of stakeholders.
26. • Put your strategy into the format your organization or need
dictates
• Add the fluffy-but-important bits
› Mission or vision statement
› Map to the language of organizational and departmental strategy
› Objectives etc.
• Add the less-fluffy bits
› KPIs
› High-level and theoretical roadmap
› Next steps
26
Finalizing
Copyright; Two Hives Ltd / Intranetdirections.com. All Rights Reserved.
27. • KPIs (another webinar in itself!)
› Measure the progress of your strategy, not the success of your tactics
or what is easy to measure
› Adding KPIs now ensures measurement has focus on value
• High-level roadmap
› It’s not a project plan
› It is a communication tool (chart or slide)
› Logically organizes your approaches and tactics into work streams
› Takes into account priorities, dependencies, opportunities, challenges
› More detailed version if necessary
› Has a timeline but it’s theoretical
27
Finalizing: KPIs and high-level roadmap
Copyright; Two Hives Ltd / Intranetdirections.com. All Rights Reserved.
28. • Build consensus
› Build a guiding coalition (Kotter)
› Understand your stakeholder agenda and expectations
› Make it personal, make it dialogue
• Create awareness
› Create common reference points (language etc,)
› Make your assets (documents, wireframes, presentations etc.)
memorable
› Spread the word through involvement
› Use all channels (do you own them?)
28
Finalizing: Socializing the strategy
Copyright; Two Hives Ltd / Intranetdirections.com. All Rights Reserved.
29. • Be tactical
› Play the organizational process game
› Use advocate networks, champions, senior leaders
› Be realistic and compromise
