AEJMC 2014 - How scientists see engagement goalsJohn C. Besley
This study examines scientists’ strategic communication sensibilities, specifically in terms of their valuation of five goals for online public communication. These goals include informing the public about science, exciting the public about science, strengthening the public’s trust in science, tailoring messages about science, and defending science from misinformation. We use insights from extant research, the Theory of Planned Behavior, and procedural justice theory to identify likely predictors of scientists' views about these communication goals. Results show that scientists most value communication designed to defend science from misinformation. Regression analyses reveal factors associated with valuing each of these specific communication goals (n = 390).
Free Gartner Report: Aligning Supply and Demand for IT Services
Cloud computing is transforming how IT manages costs and standards, but its impact extends into how IT itself is managed as a business. Public cloud computing puts pressure on the entire IT cost structure to become wiser and more efficient about balancing the supply and demand for IT services.
While cloud commoditization is driving down prices, IT is forced to manage resulting increases in consumption. The report recommends steps CIOs should take to improve the maturity of their approach to IT service management, installing:
• Benchmarking and chargeback to manage demand for cloud services
• Expand their strategic vendor management and IT procurement practices
• Become a broker of services, including external cloud computing.
Consider using IT cost transparency improvement as a cultural change agent to transform the IT organization from a focus on “speed and quality” to one of “IT cost and business value”.

Prioritising almost anything – UXcamp LondonEva-Lotta Lamm
Presentation I gave at UXcamp London in August 2009.
A little technique to help prioritise almost anything, alone or with a group.

If you ask to your clients to prioritize their requirements based on urgency, they'll tell you everything is urgent. None will want their requirement to be the last one in your queue. How do you get to prioritize requirements based on value and urgency for the company and based on duration it will take you to accomplish such a requirement?
Wouldn't it be great if no one could argue with your roadmap? Wouldn't it just rock if you could cut through the endless debates and circular arguments, get to consensus, and just execute?
I'm Bruce McCarthy, Founder and Chief Product Person at UpUp Labs. In 20 years as a product person, I've built a roadmapping methodology on 7 pillars:
* Strategic Goals
* Generate Ideas
* Objective Prioritization
* Shuttle Diplomacy
* Benefit-oriented Themes
* Appropriate Format & Cadence
* Punctuated Equilibrium
At last year's ProductCamp, my standing-room-only session on prioritization was a huge hit with product people. This year I've focused on translating your priorities into a roadmap that will inspire your whole team to buy-in, stick with it, and over-deliver.
Explore:
The difference between “important” and “urgent”, and how to deal with each
The “time stealers” – what they are and how to avoid them
What is “quality time” and how you can create it
Dealing with the e-mail mountain – the 4 Ds
Javascript is so much fun, except when it’s not.
There’s always the fear of runtime errors that keeps us thinking all the time while writing code. It makes us better coders - we have no other option than to visualize every line of code as if it’s running as we write it.
That’s why it’s so important to have tidy code. Small code. Pretty code. Code you just fall in love with. Otherwise, Javascript will scare you away.
I gathered some fun snippets I enjoy using instead of boring code that takes too much space. Some makes the code shorter, cleaner and more readable. Other are just plain hacks for debugging.
I learned all of this from open source code (until node.js all javascript code was open source, wasn’t it?), but I’ll write them here is if I invented them.

How to Ignite Your Engagement Strategy with Goals and RecognitionShelly Myers
The majority of organizations out there recognize that employee engagement is important. Yet only 12 percent of responding companies in one recent survey reported they are happy with their organization’s current levels of engagement. It’s clear there’s room for many firms to improve their engagement strategy.
A smart employee engagement strategy could include many different pieces, from fair compensation to career development opportunities. But two of the most important components are goal setting and recognition. Without these two elements working in sync, your organization won’t be able to move full speed ahead toward engagement.
Join Cassie Whitlock from BambooHR and Rob Snarskis from Quantum Workplace as they dive into effective goal setting and recognition strategies for your organization.
