The rapid Growth of internet-connected devices has brought huge advantages, however the same technology has also disconnected us. We are drowning in a digital deluge where the haze of information and devices vie for out attention to the point where they are beginning to remove us from the real world.
This document discusses the productivity costs of multitasking and frequent context switching. It notes that multitasking forces people to chop tasks into pieces and switch between them, which slows thinking and leads to more time spent and more errors. Research finds our brains are not designed for processing multiple attention-rich inputs simultaneously. The document recommends techniques from agile development like focusing on small deliverables and pair programming to avoid distractions, as well as timeboxing techniques like Pomodoro to stay focused on one task at a time in order to be more productive. It concludes that focusing sequentially on one task until its completion is more efficient than frequently switching between multiple tasks.
This document discusses 8 steps for businesses to succeed in a post-Internet world by adapting to the networked environment. The steps are: 1) shifting from control to chaos by embracing unpredictability, 2) moving from convention to instinct by ignoring conventions, 3) transitioning from process to flow by adopting fluid dynamics, 4) changing from documentation to collaboration through whiteboarding and prototyping, 5) replacing fear with confidence by embracing criticism, 6) moving from ownership to stewardship as a service, 7) shifting from walls to openness through transparency, and 8) transitioning from inside to outside by focusing more on external factors. The overall message is that businesses must adapt to the network instead of trying to control it.
The Biggest Trend in Project Management TodayDianeDromgold1
This document discusses the rise of project management as organizations increasingly rely on projects to achieve goals beyond daily operations. It traces how corporations evolved to use temporary "mini-corporations" called projects to accomplish tasks. Now, projects are blurred with business operations as resources are shared across multiple initiatives. To succeed in this environment, the author argues that project managers must focus on influence rather than control, understanding stakeholders' priorities and crafting projects that meet their needs through open communication. Influence, understanding others, and aligning projects with stakeholder interests are key to project success in today's complex business landscape.
Ready, Set, GO: Taking the First Steps in a UX Design Project and Unlocking C...Daniel Romlein
The daunting challenge of a blank page...er...Sketch file. For many of us, the actual “designing” phase of a project is typically fairly comfortable; it’s starting that’s messiest and most challenging. How do you avoid paralysis and get to that place where you can effectively use creativity to solve complex UX problems? Whether you’re designing a dazzling Uber-for-cupcakes consumer product or an HR insurance policy management tool, there are often pieces of the puzzle missing that it’s your job to track down and fit into the overall process. In this talk, I cut through the jargon and buzzwords and dig into practical first steps toward making your next project move faster and be more successful. As part of this we break into groups to test drive some techniques at our disposal to enhance the getting-started process. Expect to walk away more confident of how to go about getting the UX project ball rolling and producing your best work possible.
This document introduces timehacks for managing an increasingly busy life. It discusses how digital technologies have introduced new ways we spend time, and debates whether women can "have it all." The author argues we need a collaborative approach and awareness of tradeoffs. She plans to share time-saving tools, apps, and outsourcing experts to help fit more into our lives.

All of This Has Happened Before
Change is difficult. If knowing best practices were enough, the web — and the world — would be devoid of problems. So how do we avoid repeating the mistakes we’ve already made? Bringing about change within an organization (or an industry) can be challenging, whether they are your client or your employer, yet we all strive to do this on a daily basis. Dan explores life on both sides of that coin, offering suggestions on how we can recognize and avoid the paths that lead us where we’ve already been, and continue to improve what we design and build.

Nailing Your People Ops From the Start (PDX Startup Week workshop, Feb. 2017)Kristen Gallagher
The document provides an overview of establishing people operations structures and building company culture from an early stage. It recommends human resources systems and functions for companies of different sizes ranging from 1-5 employees to over 20 employees. The document also discusses the importance of onboarding new employees effectively rather than throwing them "in the deep end" without proper support. It emphasizes making tacit knowledge explicit in order to develop strong onboarding programs and integrating new hires through genuine interest, using their name, anticipating needs, active listening, and demonstrating company culture.

The document discusses the exponential growth of information and data online. It notes that while the amount of information available is vast, much of it is spam, advertisements, or low-quality content people rarely engage with. This leads to increased entropy and disorder online as high-quality information becomes harder to find. The document suggests focusing on internal processes like writing, communication and information architecture to improve quality rather than just adding more content or making superficial changes.
How Technology is Changing the Future of LearningDavid Kelly
The document discusses how technology is disrupting traditional training and changing the future of learning. It outlines how e-learning was the first disruption, and how new technologies like multi-device learning, data analytics, wearable tech, and the internet of things will further transform learning and shift it towards more performance support. The document encourages readers to plug in, listen, discuss, contextualize and play to stay informed on these changes.

http://openeducationchallenge.eu/
The purpose of this workshop is to help the candidates crystallize and articulate the educational value of their innovation.
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to articulate:
* Who are your potential users, stakeholders, and beneficiaries
* What is the context in which they operate
* What are their needs that your innovation addresses
* What are the current alternatives, and why they do not suffice
* What is the essence of your innovation, and why you are confident that it will address your potential users needs in their context.
Forget the Magic Lever & lessons from social mediaGeoff Brown
Here the slides that went with a Keynote Presentation that I had the honor of delivering at the 2009 Melbourne Waste Education Conference & Expo.
I'll follow this one with a version with voice over in a slidecast,
Multitasking has become a virtue in modern business, but it may come at great cost. While the brain can focus on two tasks simultaneously by splitting labor between hemispheres, managing more than two tasks reduces efficiency significantly. Frequent interruptions cost the average knowledge worker 2.1 hours per day and $588 billion annually for businesses. Multitasking also increases stress levels, which impacts health and reduces creativity needed for innovation. True focus on one task at a time may be more productive approach.
This simple presentation was created on the fly to answer a specific question; what do we need to do avoid crisis in our projects and inside our organisation?
Renée Hydén is a behavioral scientist who works to help employees better structure their time and manage incoming emails. She has established four key words - Action, Information, Decision, and Question - that should be included in email subjects to help recipients quickly understand what the email is about. Hydén and her colleagues also teach employees to schedule time for tasks, avoid procrastination, prioritize their work, and not overcommit to meetings in order to work more efficiently.
The document discusses how change is difficult for humans but necessary. It emphasizes making time for change and seeing oneself as an agent of change rather than a victim. It provides tips for building an efficient schedule and using tools to maximize one's time. It also discusses how leaders can help create dialogue and follow positive energy rather than focusing only on problems or resistance to change.
The document discusses IBM's vision for the future of workspaces using cognitive systems. It describes how cognitive systems can understand, reason, learn, and interact with humans and data in ways similar to humans. Cognitive systems make use of virtually all data, learn over time, and can support and interact with humans. The document provides examples of how cognitive systems could be used in workspaces through cognitive inboxes and assistants that understand work, learn preferences over time, and offer insights. It notes that people currently spend 80% of their time on meetings, calls and emails, leaving little time for other work and discusses how cognitive tools could help address this issue. The vision is for workspaces that are more social, intelligent and enjoyable through cognitive assisted
The document summarizes the speaker's experience at TEDActive2012. It was a 6-day conference in Palm Springs, California that included 65 talks over 13 sessions. The speaker gained insights on how concepts from the conference could be applied in Korea. They also hoped to make international connections with others in similar fields. The conference included attendees from 51 countries and 250 TEDx organizers. It provided an opportunity to network, including meeting the organizer of TEDxTokyo. Several memorable talks were highlighted, including ones on introverts, taking risks, postsecret.com, and changing business. The speaker closed by thanking the audience.
Intersection18: Meta & Meet: The Core of your Digital and Physical Workplace ...Intersection Conference
Presented at Intersection18 Conference - intersectionconf.com
This session focuses on the necessary unifying basic infrastructure for the company that you are designing. We provide cases and theory of what's possible through a unifying digital workplace that has a huge potential to connect people, information and things.
The cases that we show are practices from the Flemish Green Party, the Port of Antwerp Authority and some other Belgian organisations that have started their search for more unifying digital workplaces, and that I support as an employee and freelancer.
Organisations, corporations, companies have the mission to be ONE: one group of people gathering around one mission and goal. And to achieve that goal, they start a never-ending process of organising things, information and people.
But the traditional hierarchical, waterfall-type, unifying mechanisms fail today. The VUCA world makes it much harder than it used to be. Volatility, complexity, ambiguity, uncertainty force every member of the organisation to be a sensor and an agent connecting and dynamizing inner and outer networks. But is our organisation built for this information-model?
Multitasking: How brain works on different tasksMujahid Hussain
The document discusses how the brain works and processes information. It states that the brain contains billions of nerve cells arranged in patterns that coordinate thought, emotion, behavior, movement, vision and sensation. It also discusses that multitasking is impossible as the brain can only focus on one task at a time. The document provides examples of how the brain codes information and transmits it from one region to another. It also discusses how computer processing works much faster than the human brain at framing information. Further, it talks about how the brain stores memories and information when we learn or experience something and how we can improve our speaking skills by listening to English speakers.

1. During the Renaissance in Italy, farming techniques improved with the introduction of nitrogen-fixing crops and new foods from the Americas. Peasants worked the land owned by landlords, growing crops and raising livestock.
2. Nobles ate lavish feasts while peasants typically ate poultry, eggs, and food from pigs they raised. Schools taught either Latin for governing or Italian for commerce, with most students receiving only basic education.
3. Medicine advanced through the printing press, dissections, and new treatments like stitching wounds. However, superstition and the humoral system still influenced beliefs. Religion was dominated by the Catholic Church, though its corruption led to reforms and the Protestant movement.

It lists the names of graduate students, research associates, and faculty who have contributed to ion chemistry research over the past 40 years. The poster advertises an event to look back on the history and accomplishments in ion chemistry and to recognize those who have been involved.
This document discusses developing marketing strategies and plans. It covers key topics such as value delivery process, the value chain tool, core competencies, holistic marketing orientation, strategic planning, marketing plans, corporate mission, organization, marketing innovation, and strategic planning for business units. The overall aim is to satisfy customer needs and wants through creating value, developing core competencies, building relationships, and setting goals and plans at both the corporate and business unit levels.
2009 DREAM Renovation of Existing and Historic BuildingsStephanie Lindley
The document provides guidelines for rehabilitation, new construction, and accessibility in historic downtown districts. It outlines the purpose of historic guidelines to maintain character while allowing changes. The guidelines address rehabilitation of building elements, new construction standards, and balancing historic preservation and accessibility requirements. Alternative compliance is allowed if full compliance threatens historic integrity.
Say and Play is a psychosocial support tool developed for orphaned and vulnerable children under 7 in Zambia. It addresses gaps in support for young children's psychosocial needs through interactive stories, games, pictures and questions to engage both children and caregivers. The tool was developed through assessments with local partners and experts, then pilot tested with over 100 children and adults. It covers topics like care, health, protection and death in a culturally appropriate way. Training will be provided to disseminate Say and Play through partner networks and organizations supporting orphans and vulnerable children in Zambia.
This document discusses various examples of symmetry found in nature, science, and mathematics. It explores symmetry in phenomena like crop circles, crystal formations, planetary orbits, animal patterns, molecular structures, cellular processes, and geometric shapes. The document suggests that the pervasive presence of symmetry throughout the physical world may point to an underlying order imposed by mathematical principles or a higher power.
The document discusses John Kotter's eight-stage process for leading successful organizational change. It states that in the 21st century, constant and frequent change will be required for survival. It also discusses the mental habits needed for lifelong learning in changing environments, including risk-taking, reflection, soliciting input from others, careful listening, and openness. Finally, it summarizes Kotter's eight steps for leading change and other models for the diffusion of innovations.
James wrote four short poems about flying monkeys that attack at night, a recurring odor that cannot be escaped, an ugly creature complaining about its appearance, and being bored and finding others boring.
Boosting Nutrition Impact via Integrated Program Strategiesjehill3
The document summarizes an integrated nutrition program in Bangladesh called Jibon o Jibika that targeted 200,000 children under age 2. It showed that reducing undernutrition was more effective when all program components, such as food production, marketing, health, water and sanitation, were implemented together. Stunting, wasting, and being underweight declined more in areas where all components worked together. Dietary diversity and income also increased more in integrated areas. The document discusses proven interventions to reduce undernutrition and calls for more evidence on how best to integrate different sector approaches, prioritize interventions, and strengthen programs targeting mothers and children under age 2.
The document summarizes how blood flows through the heart, how the heart beats through diastole and systole phases, and what heart murmurs, ECGs, coronary arteries, bypass surgery, angioplasty, and other related topics are. It describes the pathways blood takes as it flows from the vena cavas into the atria and ventricles, and then out through the pulmonary artery or aorta. It also explains what causes heart murmurs and how ECGs and other procedures work to evaluate heart health.

The document discusses innovation in the social sector and how approaches like Lean Startup can be applied. It argues that in the social sector, the fear is not as much "perishing in the valley of death" as startups failing to achieve impact and ideas living on through endless planning and meetings without results. The document recommends seeking the "valley of death" by building something minimal to test ideas quickly with customers rather than extensive planning. It emphasizes talking directly to customers one-on-one to understand problems and test potential solutions through iterative prototypes until achieving product-market fit.
A talk I gave to the design and marketing team of a very large corporate about why it's hard to practice Design Thinking in a corporation. Borrows heavily from Clay Shirky. The slides may not make too much sense without me doing the talk.
WTF is a 'product-led' transformation anywayTim Malbon
Digital transformation is an abstract concept that is overwhelmingly depicted in stock photos as magical, involving fingers and ascending through tunnels of code. The document argues that product-led innovation is a more tangible way to drive organizational change, or "digital transformation", by having cross-functional teams collaboratively build a digital product within 100 days. While product can accelerate change, broader transformation requires additional efforts like coaching, communication, and organizational redesign. The author provides an example of a project that designed a new employee experience app for a brand within 6 weeks and scaled it to their entire UK workforce. However, the term "digital transformation" is morally neutral and can enable both good and potentially problematic applications of technology like autonomous weapons.
How do we get beyond "blah blah blah?" How can non-profits use the web to get more done -- instead of drowning in chatter, overload, and distraction? How do we empower our supporters to participate and engage in depth, instead of just talking at them? How do we use the web as a smart collaboration engine, instead of just another communications medium?
In this keynote presentation and discussion, Matt Thompson, Chief Storyteller for the Mozilla Foundation, will share what he's learned from successes and failures in the space. His new mantra -- "think small, do less, work open" -- is a six-word manifesto for organizations seeking smarter collaboration, greater focus and agility, and reduced mental clutter and transaction cost.
In a world of overflowing inboxes and shrinking attention spans, content is no longer king -- meaningful engagement and participation is. So what can we learn from how leading organizations are using open web tools and thinking to let their audiences in, tap greater human potential, and unlock hidden superpowers? Join us for a lively exploration into where the web is headed.
This document summarizes a presentation on inclusive design given by Jess Mitchell at OCAD University in Toronto. The presentation aims to change the audience's perspective on inclusive design. Mitchell defines inclusive design as design that considers the full range of human diversity and involves recognizing diversity, using an inclusive process, and having a broader beneficial impact. Mitchell discusses three tenants of inclusive design: recognizing diversity and uniqueness, using an inclusive process and tools, and having a broader beneficial impact. The presentation provides examples of how an inclusive design process can be applied and encourages practicing inclusive design to solve problems in a more creative and affordable way.
In this session, we will examine the notion of 'innovation' with the goal of enabling new ideas within your team. This starts by challenging the concept of what innovation means and where new ideas originate. Techniques will be offered for building a culture of innovation which include: how to curate ideas, inspire teams, build innovative mindsets, create better processes and deal with change.
By the end of the session, attendees will gain new strategies that foster an environment of empowerment, creativity and collaboration.
These slides were part of a 30 minute presentation. The focus was on creating common (design thinking) ground between design, marketing and sales people inside a company.
These slides include a bit about me but mostly function as a backdrop I refer to during my oral presentation.
I do not read my slides :-)
Stop Trying to Avoid Losing and Start Winning: How BS 8878 Reframes the Acces...IWMW
This document discusses reframing the conversation around accessibility and presents BS 8878 as a solution. It notes that most organizations see accessibility as a risk and burden without understanding benefits. BS 8878 aims to embed accessibility systematically into processes rather than one-off projects. It provides a framework to reduce costs and improve quality of accessible products. The standard was created by accessibility experts and reviewed worldwide. Adopting BS 8878 helps build better, more inclusive products rather than just compliance.
Getting Things Done outlines a productivity system to help people manage their commitments and stay stress-free. It recommends capturing all tasks and projects using collection tools outside the mind, then processing them to clarify outcomes and next actions. This allows commitments to be organized and reviewed regularly so the mind remains clear and focused on forward progress.

How can an industry that places empathy at the core of its practice ignore the big problems facing South Africa and the continent? In a rapidly changing design landscape will UX designers even be relevant in the future? UX designers exist at a unique interdisciplinary juncture and it gives us the opportunity to create inspiring responses to these questions. With the maturity of design thinking, social innovation, and lean startup, we are uniquely placed to re-apply our skills to find new relevance and greater impact in doing work that matters. But taking action is not easy, even if it can be known what is to be done. In this talk David will explore the new mindsets, skills and attitudes UX designers need to adopt to shift from merely doing design to becoming design activists.
The document discusses how to incorporate social aspects into day-to-day business processes and workflows. It argues that social tools should not just be used for long-term learning, but to directly impact operations by making processes more flexible, solving problems faster, and improving coordination and decision making. The document outlines four challenges: 1) make social a routine part of work, 2) share tasks and debrief easily, 3) search for and connect with the right people, and 4) bring social and business tools together. Addressing these challenges can help "unleash the social potential" to boost workflow efficiency.
