Learn how to convince others of your UX ideas by understanding them.
We are good in designing usable and engaging products and services. We understand the user's needs and have a toolkit with dozens of deliverables.

This ranges from convincing a colleague to use a certain design pattern to selling research to your boss and convincing a client to go for your concept. You can come up with the best ideas in the world, but if it is presented in the wrong way these ideas will die a lonely dead. This is sad, because everybody can learn how to bring a message across. The main thing is that you know what to pay attention to.
In this session I will take you on a journey through the world of presenting ideas. We will move through the heads of clients and your colleagues, learn what their thoughts and needs are. We will move to the core of your idea and into the world of psychology.
10 Insightful Quotes On Designing A Better Customer ExperienceYuan Wang
In an ever-changing landscape of one digital disruption after another, companies and organisations are looking for new ways to understand their target markets and engage them better. Increasingly they invest in user experience (UX) and customer experience design (CX) capabilities by working with a specialist UX agency or developing their own UX lab. Some UX practitioners are touting leaner and faster ways of developing customer-centric products and services, via methodologies such as guerilla research, rapid prototyping and Agile UX. Others seek innovation and fulfilment by spending more time in research, being more inclusive, and designing for social goods.
Experience is more than just an interface. It is a relationship, as well as a series of touch points between your brand and your customer. Here are our top 10 highlights and takeaways from the recent UX Australia conference to help you transform your customer experience design.

Enterprise view of social media: Collaboration, Jetpacks and Ray Guns!Todd Nilson
Despite the wondrousness of Facebook and LinkediIn, these social networks and other tools like Wikipedia, YouTube and Twitter are pretty much a matter of course for us as individual users. But enterprises find themselves in a quandary, mostly because of access and security issues that using an open tool like these would entail. In the past few years, we've seen the rise of another category or layer of social media tools the emulate social media for consumers but are attempting to bridge the gap, addressing the concerns of the enterprise.
Okay, so i'll be talking about Yammer, SharePoint, NewsGator, etc. The problem is that these are old as dirt! They are not nearly as advanced as what's out on the front lines now. how can I start interacting as effectively with my work colleagues as I can my friends on Facebook? When there is a layer of security, what can I do to ensure collaboration within the enterprise on work projects?

While the essential elements of the job search have remained the same, technological innovation and forces of economic instability have combined to change the way job searches must be conducted.
Growing future leaders with social technologiesTodd Nilson
The nature of mentoring in the enterprise has changed, largely thanks to the advent of social technologies being implemented in business settings that allow for meaningful connection, interaction, collaboration, and coaching online. This has allowed enterprises to scale their mentoring efforts, enabling many-to-many rather than one-to-one or one-to-many mentoring relationships. These technologies also provide greater visibility for leaders and human resources to see standout performance and contributions from employees who might otherwise be overlooked. This presentation outlines the trends and technologies that are enabling mentoring to evolve in the workplace and the process for igniting this change in your own.

Social media branding for organizationsTodd Nilson
Building an effective social media presence does not start with creating a blog or Twitter profile. Businesses that are serious about and committed to a social media approach that serves the business need to create a roadmap that begins with an understanding of audience, goals, what will be said, and what will be measured... a Social Solution Suite.
Communicating an employer’s brand entails a lot more than merely having a careers page on your website and a LinkedIn company profile. All companies have a story to tell, not only about their products and services, but also about why they’re a great (or terrible) place to work. These stories sometimes lurk in the “below the surface” world of word-of-mouth, namely the mouths of employees, of ex-employees, of investors, and of executives. But companies can no longer afford to allow these stories to remain part of the enterprise’s collective subconscious. An employer brand disconnected from the companies other marketing messages, or worse yet ignored, represents real risk that can be experienced as an ever-increasing difficulty when it comes to attracting, hiring and retaining talented employees.
In this presentation, Todd Nilson, a 15-year recruiting consultant and social media strategist, will outline some leading practices for an effective employer branding approach:
* Getting started or Cultural Anthropology for Business
* Laying out your employer brand strategy
* Considerations for integrating your employer brand with your overall marketing and branding efforts
* Matching up your social media campaigns with word of mouth marketing
* Revving up your Careers Pages for maximum effect
* Your active and passive digital employer brand
* Metrics, measurement and accountability for your employer branding
Personal branding for tech executives v2.1Todd Nilson
This is a revised version of my earlier presentation about personal brand management approaches for technology executives. The lessons are pretty broadly applicable to any job seeker but some of the data points are specifically about CIO's and CTO's.
Economic instability combined with the evolution of the roles and expectations of technology leadership make it more important than ever for tech executives to take advantage of the tools and techniques available via social media for promoting their individual personal brands. This presentation explores the questions to ask yourself before embarking in the use of these tools to enhance your career.
Online marketing is a key part of any business marketing strategy. Learn about how proper integration of social media and other internet marketing techniques can boost the online visibility of your small business.

Social Media to Enable Sales for Natwest Summer Time TalkJane Frankland
Social Media Marketing is an enabler for sales but only if it's used strategically - as part of a sales and marketing campaign. Without a sales plan and a sales strategy it's a time suck - a total waste of time. Participating in a social media marketing campaign can deliver a return on your investment. This presentation looks at this. It also hints at how social networks can also be used to improve business processes and internal team training. With 7 platforms to cover along with key wins for each of them it's sure to entertain.
Recruiting is a social act, so what's so new about Social Recruiting? Aside from the numerous articles from blogging pundits, what is the real potential for social recruiting in the enterprise and just how widespread is it? Finally, what benefits does a recruiting program that entails social media outreach accrue? In this talk, Todd Nilson of 7 Summits, one of the top 20 social media agencies in the United States, will offer some ready-to-use ideas from how to get started with a social recruiting program, from eliciting executive sponsorship to what key performance metrics can be used to justify the program.
Engage! Your Employer Brand Strategy via Social MediaTodd Nilson
Where has all the top talent gone? In the past, the people we wanted to hire for our companies were plentiful and easy to find. Lately, their skills are all wrong, and keeping the talent we already have is harder and harder as well. It may seem counterintuitive to look to social media marketing and branding for the answers, but at its heart, HR and social media are both about relationships. During this session, the managing director of social and talent strategies at an IT professional services firm will help you build a strategic framework for social media planning. You'll find out how to define your employer brand, ways to perform and employer brand audit on social media, what a social careers page can do to energize your company's reputation, and how to measure the success of your employer branding efforts to command the attention of your company's C-suite executives.

Making a career change is anything but child’s play.

In this talk, Todd Nilson will present the potential and pitfalls of managing your job search as a career changer.
