UX Cambridge 2017- Three Steps WorkshopAlan Colville
A hands-on workshop catapulting your UX beyond digital to create consistent, connected and cross channel customer experiences.
In three steps you’ll unleash the business changing power of UX by:
1. Assessing the state of UX in your organisation
2. Learning how to improve the research that you do
3. Seeing new ‘agile’ ways of working and thinking, to join it up
With the business world seeing new value in user experience design, you’ll leave ready to take UX beyond digital, across channels and into the boardroom.
Type on the web has many roles: it is an interface, a brand, sets tone, and directs the user. Typography has many roles and can either add or take away from User Experience. In this beautiful and exciting talk we’re going to look at various ways type is used, implemented, and dissect the role that it plays in user experience on the web.
I've been hiring designers for 15 years, and I'm surprised to see that shoemakers children are the worst shod with regards to UX job applications... So, this session will be a refresher of do's and "don'ts for landing a new job.

The Building Blocks of Design: Taking the Basics to a New Level
IRWD Design Workshop - Feb. 10, 2014
Speaker: Josh Levine - Chief Experience Officer, Co-Founder - Ai
Color, typography, placement, organization — even white space — are the visuals that can help attract shoppers’ attention, keep them engaged with the site and intrigued with the brand, and turn them into buyers — or they can turn off or confuse site visitors, detracting from the shopping experience and the brand. In this session, hear from two experienced web experts about how to master your handling of these powerful elements in site design and turn them to your advantage.
A high level broad stroke intro to User eXperience, starting with a survey, a dash of my own thoughts, some thoughts from Mike Rapp, and some samples and resources. Also some slides from a presentation I did for Great American Teach in in 2014 to 3rd and 5th graders.
UXPA BOSTON 2013 - Visual Communication in UX research and designDory_Kronos
Communicating strategies, concepts, ideas and user research data to key decision-makers is a major challenge that user experience designers continuously face in the product design cycle. A big part of this challenge lies in the fact that user experience deliverables need to be communicated to a wide audience with various skills and expertise at different stages of the product development. This presentation focuses on providing user experience researchers and designers with real examples on how infographics and information visualization methods have been used in the different stages of a user-centered design cycle to convey solutions to complex business problems in a visually more consumable format. According to various cognition and perception research literature, visualization has been proven to improve the reception of information and knowledge compared to text.
The content of this presentation reinforces those findings by examining the different visualization techniques and principles invoked in the literature and adapting them to promote the user experience being designed. Various visual representations have been explored as a replacement to more traditional formats of conveying ideas such as text for example. Those include"day-in-a-life charts", experience maps, color-coded dashboards and many more. Best practices and lessons learned will be shared during the session such as how to best apply Tufte's design principles to improve the effectiveness of visual representation. The session will be an interactive discussion where the audience is encouraged to start thinking on how the knowledge around information visualization could be leveraged to help us, designers and UX researchers, better communicate design problems and solutions.
Slides from my talk at Cambridge Usability Group on the 12th of May 2014
http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/designing-better-ux-deliverables-tickets-11542298325
Needing to produce some kind of deliverables throughout a project is inevitable: it might be user research reports to inform senior stakeholder; usability test results to communicate to developers; sketches and wireframes to pass on to web designers.
Just as we make the products and services we design easy to use, the UX of UX is about communicating your thinking in a way that ensures that what you've defined is easy to understand for the reader. It's about adapting the work you do to the project in question and finding the right balance of making people want to look through your work whilst not spending unnecessary time on making it pretty.

Keynote from Sanoma 2017 Get Tomorrow ConferenceSarah Weise
Sarah Weise presents Mind Games, the keynote from Sanoma's 2017 Get Tomorrow Conference. Henry Ford once said, “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” And we all know that faster horses wouldn’t have made Ford one of the most powerful car brands in the world. Today, we are designing experiences for tomorrow's customers. It’s not enough to know what our customers need at the moment. We need to be able to understand how they think and process information and make decisions so that we can anticipate what’s coming next. This keynote talks about the human brain, and neuro-based persuasive triggers to help you build compelling experiences that connect to your customers, both today and in the future.

How to Manufacture Delight: Unlock Moments that Matter & Wow Your Customers Sarah Weise
Presented at Content Marketing Conference 2017 by Sarah Weise. Follow on Twitter at @weisesarah.
Think back to the last time you were truly delighted by a product, service, or experience. That long ago, eh? The goal of our content marketing efforts is pretty simple: engage customers to keep them coming back for more. Delight seems like a sure bet to achieve this goal. So why aren't we creating more delightful content, at scale? Turns out, it's because up until now, we didn't know what delight actually meant. Most content marketers assume that delight is pleasure or happiness. Yet new neuromarketing research indicates something else entirely. These new insights prove that delight follows a precise, predictable pattern.
Attend this session for your new blueprint on delight. You'll walk away with the ability to identify moments where delight can be created, and the know-how to magnify these flashes of opportunity. In a nutshell, this session will teach you tactics to manufacture delight through:
- Never-before presented data points on delight. This research was recently conducted and is hot-off-the-press.
- New neuromarketing blueprint for delight that will turn your office into a delight-manufacturing warehouse.
- Innovative case study on how we are applying this research to one of the most anxiety-gripping organizations in the country: the IRS.
Learn the secrets to crafting delight, again and again, to boost your bottom-line.

TEMPLATES FOR TURBO-BOOST VISIONING METHODOLOGY
Companion templates for 2017 article published in the Journal of Digital & Social Media Marketing
Supercharge your digital transformation in as little as 3 hours with a new lean methodology for hands-on visioning workshops. There’s an epidemic among digital marketing and user experience projects. Remarkably talented digital marketers, design thinkers, and UX professionals — in an effort to launch into customer research and wireframes and recommendations — are skipping a crucial first step: visioning. A carefully crafted vision is at the heart of every successful business, project, website, and product. Painting a picture of the value you offer, who you serve, and what impact looks like to you is a foundational step toward designing better, faster, more meaningful experiences, while making business decisions that align with your core values and company direction. Strategic visioning gives companies the space to brainstorm and refine goals, and articulate their impact in no uncertain terms. This paper (in Journal of Digital & Social Media Marketing) will introduce the Turbo-Boost Visioning Methodology, a new, lightning-fast process for lean visioning workshops. In a very short amount of time (measured in hours, not days or weeks or months), your company will have its very own north star: a unique compass to guide future business or product decisions. Follow this step-by-step approach to co-create a vision with your team, as a foundational step to crafting experiences that stick.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
