This document summarizes a presentation given at the 2009 American Association of Museums conference on the topic of new media, technology, and who is in charge within museums. It discusses the evolving roles of new media professionals and common organizational patterns seen, from an ad hoc initial approach to a more mature model with formal executive support. Key points included advocating for your new media vision and not assuming leadership doesn't have time or understanding of new technologies.
Research has examined both engineering demographics and factors improving or impeding diversity. However, media regularly emphasizes current lack of diversity in technology, while putting considerably less focus on specific actions to drive change. We will share some research data, as well as information about a number of initiatives to draw in young people - from elementary to college - who might otherwise never consider an engineering future, including: target demographic groups, what specifically each initiative is doing, and results. Learn how specific initiatives are making a difference – and what you can do to make a difference, too.

“The Five Meetings You Meet in Web Design” by Kevin Hoffman (Now What? Confer...Blend Interactive
Web site building techniques are always changing, but the meetings supporting that work sadly haven’t changed much at all. At the core of every meeting is a group of human brains, and against the breakneck pace of iPhone model releases those brains have not evolved in the slightest. Better meeting design for web professionals addresses this constraint. Every web design organization has a core curriculum of five types of meeting goals: getting started, checking in, presenting, exploring, and the big finish. Each of the five meetings have classic mistakes, unique opportunities, best executions, and remote work implications. Kevin will explore how each of the five meetings is an opportunity to do your best work, with plenty of examples you can start using right away.

Everyday Opportunities for Inclusion & Collaboration - OSSNA 2018Erik Riedel
talk on mentoring, inclusion, and collaboration - given by Nithya Ruff (Comcast) and Erik Riedel (Works Together) at the 2018 Open Source Summit NA in Vancouver, Canada
= Abstract =
Do you feel left out or uncomfortable at the company Christmas Party? Do you avoid the “water cooler” and try to limit your interactions to "business only"? Do you find many such business-social interactions fraught with potential landmines and opportunities for exclusion or misunderstanding? Do you see colleagues excluded or unable to participate when activities are informal, under-structured, or ill-organized?
A study in the NY Times from 2017 highlights how many of us are wary of the way professionals socializes today.
This session will present a set of specific examples and stories from our direct experience of some of the less obvious opportunities for communication, networking, learning, mentoring, and collaboration that are presented by ongoing day-job activities as well as thru outside events and forums.
Since much of successful mentoring and collaboration occurs informally, there are many unidentified or difficult-to-see barriers that can create missed opportunities. We believe that the desire to assist each other and collaborate is often present but unrealized. We will provide some examples of lowering the "activation energy" for such positive interactions and creating an equality of opportunity for colleagues and team members.
The examples we discuss are applicable to individual contributor (IC) employees, to leaders and managers (bosses), and to anyone with a job description OR a personal passion that includes mentoring or collaboration. These issues are not limited to technology workers or open source projects, but we believe that there are unique opportunities in these realms that are sometimes hidden or easily overlooked.
The target audience for this talk is anyone with a significant ability to impact both technical and cultural aspects of their work and workplace; they might be an explicit people leader or manager; they might be an experienced engineer that is expected - explicitly or implicitly - to mentor less experienced staff; they might be an engineer that wishes they could have more impact - either technical or cultural - on their work or workplace and just can’t figure out how to do it. they might be an individual who is having trouble getting promoted, or just have trouble “fitting in”.
Dispositioning Advantage: A Pervert's Guide to Strategy DesignWilliam Evans
Strategy. The identification and exploitation of an opponent’s weakness. Before you can have Strategy Deployment (Policy Deployment, Hoshin Kanri), it tends to reason that you probably need a strategy to deploy. But how do you do that? What are the mechanisms? What are the methods? What are the principles that allow an organization to design a meaningful strategy?
This lively 45 (to 60 minute) romp will introduce you to the history of strategy in organizations (it’s dark, perverse, and full of dragons) from Porter to Rumelt, to Dettmer, and Boyd. Few will remember that in the early days of strategy, there was only one: drive down the experience curve and be the low-cost provider with a stream-lined supply chain. The talk will unpack what strategy actually is and more importantly, what it is not. It will painstakingly deconstruct how the term is ritually abused and misused, and then methodically introduce how strategy is a design problem, but too important to be left to the designers in their plaid shirts, funky glasses, and ernest but ultimately vapid proclamations about human-centered blah blah, validating blah, blah, buzzword bingo verbal diarrhea inventing flaccid constructs like ‘design strategy, content strategy, ux strategy’ and ‘strategic planning’.
The talk will introduce some conceptual frameworks used in military strategy and maneuver warfare, which dates back over 2,300 years to the time of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War. We’ll explore how the time-tested principles of economic and military competition can be applied to social and commercial ventures, such as software and service delivery leading to considerable benefits in coherence, focus. and profit. We’ll then introduces a reasonable, systematic set of methods to help you translate current market uncertainty, fast changing customer needs, and ever-changing technological disruptions into a meaningful strategy and organizational capability ready for Hoshin Kanri.

Next Level Collaboration: The Future of Content and Design by Rebekah Cancino...Blend Interactive
Imagine a future where siloed departments and legacy workflows don’t stand in our way. Today’s content is complex, interconnected, and needs to be ready for devices we haven’t even dreamed of yet. Tomorrow isn’t going to get any simpler. Successful outcomes demand a new kind of collaboration. For the past two years, Rebekah has studied how successful teams collaborate and has helped transform the way her team works and produces together. In this session, you’ll hear what she’s learned about making effective cross-discipline collaboration possible, and leave with actionable inspiration you can use to unite your team and workflow, too.
This talk will show you:
* What it takes to make effective collaboration possible
* How you can play a key role in creating the cross-discipline teams of tomorrow
* Practical tips you can use to bridge silos, increase productivity, and deliver better project outcomes for everyone

This is Not Fine: Working on the Web in Higher Ed During Uncertain TimesGeorgiana Cohen
With trust in institutions declining, a combative political climate, and ongoing challenges to the industry, it’s a complicated time to work in higher education marketing. We face extraordinary pressure to differentiate our institutions, assert their relevance, and meet critical goals for recruitment and fundraising. Meanwhile, the student market is rapidly changing, new policies endanger higher education funding and access, and the stinging impact of these shifting tides is acutely felt across the campus community. Amidst all this, battle fatigue is real. And it’s easy to feel powerless.
But within the scope of our roles and abilities as digital communicators, we have tremendous opportunity to target and optimize critical messages, elevate access to indispensable resources, support the most vulnerable members of our communities. In an era of fake news, context, clarity, and expertise have never been more valuable, and the mission of higher education has never been more essential. In this session, I will discuss how the humble higher ed digital communicator can meaningfully and sustainably fight the good fight for both their respective institution and higher education at large. From strategies to subtweets to self-care, consider this session a how-to for higher ed web work in these trying - yet potentially rewarding - times.
As delivered at ContentEd 2017 - London, England
Governance is all about creating structure and accountability to support your content goals. But in organizations where rigid hierarchies and legacy systems often still rule the roost, imposing new processes, roles, and guidelines (accompanied by new expectations and consequences) is much easier said than done. That’s why it’s important to prepare your internal community for governance through training and education, relationship building, and helping people understand the value and outcomes of their work on the website. Before implementing governance policies, find out how to prepare your community to embrace them more readily.
Gifted students today have access to more information than ever before and are connected in ways that no generation before has ever been. Yet they often do not understand the power they wield in digital environments or how to use information and networks to advance their learning. FutureCasting, a pedagogical roadmap, helps students develop a digital identity that enables them to leverage the power at their fingertips for achievement. The process enables students to take control of their digital identity and personal reputation, identify the value systems that influence choices, define personal and “professional” goals, and build influence in a global society.

This presentation will give you the facts to back up your convictions. Carol provides you with clear and compelling responses to tough questions about UX and usability methods. You’ll leave with facts about the Return on Investment (ROI) of UX, how to respond to UX skeptics, and how to turn your entire team into UX advocates.
Learning Objective: Assess successful mentoring techniques
Mentoring is a mutually beneficial practice that provides opportunities both for the mentor and mentee as well as paying dividends for employers. Corporations have discovered that the act of implementing strategic mentoring results in great short- and long-term value. Mentoring creates collaborations, bonds, and buy-in like no other relationship process. This seminar will help you engage in, find, and benefit from mentoring programs.
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
a. Identify strategic mentoring solutions.
b. Examine the benefit of reverse mentoring.
c. Explore successful networking strategies that connect people.
d. Examine mentoring activities and suggestions that enrich the experience.
e. Explore ways to identify and pair successful mentoring matches.
Defining the content strategy is the easy part. But how do you actually make it work? Not just today, but tomorrow, and next year, and the year after that? How can you continually evolve and mature your content practices, create rock-star content teams, and produce better content faster? Sound magical? Nope, it’s just good content governance.
In this introductory workshop, we’ll use group discussions and debates, thought-provoking exercises, and real-world client stories to build your knowledge and awareness of content governance.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
How to identify where your organization fits in the content maturity model, and how to progress
Different options for content governance within an organization
The five pillars on which you need to build your content governance
How to advocate and influence for content governance changes
The steps to take to get you started towards better governance
This general slideset is intended for science based educators who work with the public. It is about how to understand the role social media (and social networks) play in public information dissemination, especially relating to natural resources. It is not about watersheds, or specific tools, rather about building strategies and understanding current web uses.
Slides include notes.

Digital Culture and the Shaking Hand of ChangeMichael Edson
The presentation shows how to create and use a "problem space" to organize complex challenges. The central metaphor for the talk is the "civic handshake" — a process by which different parts of society cooperate through the informal exchange of information and the sharing of responsibilities.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

New Media, Technology, And Museums
1. New Media, Technology, and
Museums: Who’s In Charge

4. “From law firms to libraries, from universities to
Fortune 500 companies, the organization’s website
almost invariably falls under the domain of the IT
Department or the Marketing Department, leading
to turf wars and other predictable consequences.
While many good (and highly capable) people
work in IT and marketing, neither area is ideally
suited to craft usable websites or to encourage the
blossoming of vital web communities.”
Jeffrey Zeldman
Let There be Web Divisions
http://www.zeldman.com/2007/07/02/let-there-be-web-divisions/
11. “Everything we hear from people we
interview is that today’s consumers
draw no distinctions between an
organization’s Web site and their
traditional bricks-and-mortar presence:
both must be excellent for either to be
excellent.”
Lee Rainie
Director, Pew Internet & American Life Project
13. Session Presenters
• Aurelie Henry, National Postal Museum
• Jeff Tancil (Tenement Museum)
• Cynthia Graville-Smith St Louis Science Center
14. Session Sponsors
• Media and Technology Committee
• Committee on Education
• Development and Membership Committee
• Museum Management Committee
• Committee on Museum Professional Training
• Public Relations and Marketing Committee
17. Higher Standards for Stewardship of New
Media
• I would like to press the AAM accreditation
committee to set higher goals and provide
roadmaps for the management and
organization of new tech in museums. A few
questions on the accreditation self-study
questionnaire is not enough.
18. Note: don’t hate your colleagues
• There’s a natural progression through these
evolutionary states
• …goes for everyone in the museum.
• You may perceive that they’re lacking vision,
“don’t get it”… but they probably just haven’t
had the ahah moment. Yet. There’s a natural
progression, and this stuff is HARD. I do it full
time.
19. Use your internal social network
• Success from having advocates in several
areas
20. It’s not over
• “It’s not over” - - it never is
• Slide: be transparent and consistent
• When bad decisions happened staff will
“know” what the NM team is and stands for.
21. Advocate for your vision
• “Advocate for your vision. Do it yourself.
Don’t cede this to others.”
• In a competitive environment, you have to
communicate effectively.
• The director isn’t going to (or don’t assume)
pick you to run new media if you’re not an
effective advocate, spokesperson, team
leader.
22. Don’t assume your Director is too busy
• Advice from Max Anderson
• Paraphrase “don’t assume the director is too busy” to
hear from you. He/she certainly wants to hear from
you now, rather than when failure has arrived.
• For most of us leadership and communication at the
senior management level does not come naturally. I
cringe when I think back on some of my early
conversations with Milo Beach who was Director
when I was cutting my teeth at the Freer Gallery of
Art. But that’s how you learn: do it, make mistakes,
get better.
23. Don’t obsess about how other people organize
• Advice from VP: “people obsess about how
other people organize. Pick a model that works
for you & where your organization is:
Ultimately…“It’s less about how you’re situated
in the organization and much more about the
conversations you’re having with the rest of the
organization and to what degree there is
strategic visibility at the CEO level,” says Greg
Foglesong, general manager of Home Depot
Direct, the e-commerce and catalog arm of The
Home Depot Inc.
24. Don’t confuse reporting structure with
leadership
• Says Victoria Portway who leads Web and
New Media for the National Air and Space
Museum (NASM).
25. Understand the natural evolutionary model
• This is what I’ve observed happening in
museums and private industry.
• Much thanks to Victoria Portway from NASM
for critical help with this model.
27. Organizational Patterns
• Most museums and businesses follow a
natural, evolutionary pattern in organizing
their Web and New Media programs.
• See my “Good Projects Gone Bad: an
Introduction to Process Maturity” paper
http://www.slideshare.net/edsonm/good-projects-gone-bad-an-
introduction-to-process-maturity
28. 1. Ad Hoc (chaotic)
• web program started in a scientific
research group where the internet
connection existed (grass-roots, matter
of convenience & where the passion &
interest resides).
• Underground, success (but not
repeatable)
• Nothing measured
• Dependent on heroics
29. 2. Emerging
• Separate Division, still small, position
& importance in organization uncertain
(special interest hobby shop, everyone
knows it is important but not sure to
what degree or how it works).
• Some measurement, explicit
responsibility to somebody, usually
lower in the org chart
30. 3. Managed: authority vested in some
semi-logical entity.
• Director level awareness of web importance,
uncertainty over purpose of web & org.
placement leads to internal power struggle,
debate over "who owns", multiple reorgs.
• Mostly based on competence and/or
willingness, without regard to org chart
rationale.
• Lots of matrix and dotted-lines
• Corsely visible in budgets, PD’s, planning,
measurement
31. 4. Quantitatively Managed
• Professionalization of web, greater
awareness of role and key stakeholders,
integral part of organization.
• Formal organization, oversight. Usually in
the Director’s office to someone without
specific background
• Increasing cross-disciplinary
expertise/experience: the team is familiar
and broadly competent with each others
areas of expertise.
32. 5. Mature
• There’s Formal ownership in the executive
suite
• [note: semantics different in every org]
• *note: “ownership” and “leadership” VP’s
story]
• Directors engaged (look at their appointment
book)
• Professional, full-time management
• Win/win scenarios with controlled innovation
and experimentation
