This document discusses using data and metrics to tell impactful stories and drive meaningful change. It covers four key lessons: only collect data you will act on, understand how measures create incentives, be careful of "vanity metrics" on the web, and use data to tell a compelling story. The document also describes a group exercise where participants discuss sharing data successfully, and identifies three trends in the social sector: openness through transparency, data as a product, and harnessing mobile connectivity. The overall message is that data should be used strategically to inform actions and decisions that further an organization's mission and create positive impact.

Veel merken op social media hebben iets weg van cabaretiers, die vooral heel gevat uit de hoek willen komen. Het gaat vooral om de snelste en beste grap, de leukste inhaker of het geinigste onderonsje. Influencers kopen we in en we sturen mails vanuit fictieve personen. Laten we eerlijk zijn, onze social mediakanalen zijn vooral plekken geworden waar we aan het zenden zijn. Het is voornamelijk ‘media’ en maar weinig ‘social’.
Authenticiteit, inhakers, influencers, onderonsjes. De buzzwords vliegen je om de oren. Maar we kunnen terug naar de inhoud, door de klant centraal te stellen en de kracht van de medewerkers in te zetten. Waar ‘media’ voornamelijk bij de marketing afdeling ligt, moet het ‘social’-element breder uit de organisatie komen. Dat gaat vaak verder dan online en de grote uitdaging is dit te borgen in de organisatie. In mijn sessie neem ik je graag mee in de aanpak van Microsoft Nederland om dit te bereiken, aan de hand van -goed, nog één buzzword – mijn visie op thought leadership.

Creating a Positive Professional Presence (ISASA)Cathy Oxley
Teacher librarians are standing on the brink of a fantastic opportunity to make themselves indispensable within their schools. Now is the perfect time to embrace technology, develop a Professional Learning Network, upskill and become leaders in e-learning.
A presentation given at the ACS CINF Meeting in Denver on March 22nd 2015
The authoring of a scientific publication can represent the culmination of many tens if not 100s of hours of data collection and analysis. The authoring and peer-review process itself often represents a major undertaking in terms of assembling the publication and passing through review. Considering the amount of work invested in the production of a scientific article it is therefore quite surprising that authors, post-publication, invest very little effort in communicating the value and potential impact of their article to the community. Social networking has clearly demonstrated the ability to self-market and drive attention. At the same time, the increasing volume of literature (over a million new articles are published every year), requires authors to take on a more direct role in ensuring their work gets read and cited. This requirement may grow with the emergence of a range of metrics at the article level, shifting attention away from where a researcher publishes to the performance of their individual articles. Therefore, a separate platform to facilitate social networking and other discovery tools to communicate the value of published science to the community would be of value. In parallel the possibility to enhance an article by linking to additional information (presentations, videos, blog posts etc) allows for enrichment of the article post-publication, a capability not available via the publishers platform. This presentation will provide a personal overview of the experiences of using the Kudos Platform and how it ultimately benefits my ability to communicate an integrated view of my research to the community.

VolunteerMatch Solutions BPN Webinar: Trends & Best Practices in Using Social...VolunteerMatch
July 2012 Best Practice Network Webinar, presented by VolunteerMatch
Session Description:
Social media has emerged as an ideal platform for sharing a company's corporate responsibility story with its stakeholders. It's authentic. It's continuous. It's targeted. It's interactive. But as opportunities to inform, engage and activate stakeholders continue to grow with the changing technology, small businesses in particular can face challenges in adapting. What tools are worth the investment of time? How can compelling CSR content be developed and shared most efficiently, without sacrificing engagement?
Georgetown University's Center for Social Impact Communication (CSIC) recently conducted research on how small businesses are thinking about CSR, social media, and the intersection of the two. Join Julie Dixon, deputy director of CSIC, for an interactive discussion on trends and best practices, as well as recommendations on how smaller organizations can share their compelling stories of community involvement and employee volunteerism in ways that meet their unique limitations on resources, staff and time.

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.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
