The document discusses the agile approach to developing products that better engage audiences. It provides a case study of an app created by Affinity Bridge and PeaceGeeks to help immigrants and refugees settle in British Columbia. An iterative process was used, testing assumptions with real audience members early and often to validate understanding of audience needs. This approach found that the audience did not want a personalized checklist as assumed, but a simpler directory app, saving development costs by not building an unnecessary feature. In summary, the agile process results in better, more cost-effective products by involving audiences throughout development to accurately understand their needs.

Are you avoiding the blank page of writing an article, with no idea what to write, and a hundred other things you end up doing instead?
Do you scroll social media for your organization, wishing you had something better to post today?
Creating content doesn’t have to be a headache, it can be fun and easy if we change our mindset and adapt the hacks outlined in this webinar.
This isn’t just the world of content, it’s the world of relationships, audience building, and stewardship online to drive future donations.
But content takes time, so it gets left behind! Sadly though, without YOU creating content, you’re leaving your donors to see nothing but posts about the WE Charity scandal and the latest Kardashian drama!
So if the answer to online presence is more content, the next question is how the heck do you do it?? Nonprofits are so busy. This event will show you HOW to create way more content and reduce the time you spend creating.
With more content you have the chance to connect, learn, improve, and do it all over again.
PS. This video is for everyone in your organization, not just the marketing manager. We can all get involved in content!

Case studies are great sales tools. But how many times have you gotten ready to submit a pitch, and realized you were missing case studies for the projects you want to highlight? You assumed somebody on the team would write one after the projected deployed, but everyone got reassigned to other projects, and it slipped through the cracks, again. And now you are sad. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Learn why we draft our project case studies before writing the first line of code, and how the team uses the case study draft as a quality assurance step to help ensure a successful project outcome.

Effective meeting design is the artful expression of today’s creative leader. Thoughtful preparation is key to generating the results you want to create within your team, project, department, and organization.
Reports show that the average worker loses at much as 31 hours a month to unproductive meetings. That's four work days each month and that 1/2 of all meetings are unnecessary.
The multitasking environment of today often leaves little room for focusing on what’s important in organizing, designing, and leading effective meetings. Meeting leaders are often stymied in the land of overwhelm spinning on the hamster wheel of too many meetings, too little time, too little attention, and too few meaningful results. Futility and frustration permeate the collective response to meetings.

Driving Actions and Reactions Seminar - Perth Precedent
Not so long ago your sphere of influence revolved around your website and associated social channels. As long as you had a good understanding of your audience and their requirements it was relatively easy to push out your message with appropriate calls to action and sit back and wait. The new sphere of influence is less controllable and is often of your audiences own making.
Our latest seminar will use a number of case studies and best practice examples to illustrate how and where to engage your audience and what needs to be delivered in order to meet their heightened expectations.
Attendees will be provided with tips and advice around five key tactical areas of delivery, including;
Digital assets
Customisation experience
Device context
Community engagement
Online services
If understood and used as part of an effective customer engagement strategy, it will enable better control and influence over the online actions and reactions you have with your customers.
This interactive seminar will enable you to share ideas that you will be able to implement into your business either straightaway or plan for the future.

Successful Partnership Engagement in Product Design Andrew Castello
When engineering such a product in 2021, companies will need to turn to an expert IoT development partner with enough specialist experience to guarantee the proper level of product development.
Presented at Acquia Engage APAC by Tim Fletcher, Head of Platforms and Experiences, VMLY&R.
Consumers are increasingly connected, to each other, and to the brands they have a relationship with. This connectedness creates new opportunities, but it also adds complexity that can derail your initiatives if you aren’t paying close attention. The challenge of designing and building systems that deliver true value for both the customer and the business is still the central focus, but as business and customers’ expectations keep evolving, so too must your approach.
Over the past 7 years, VMLY&R Australia has been at the forefront of creative and marketing technology, delivering innovation and transformation projects for our clients and partners across the region.
This session will explore the insights we’ve uncovered during that time and will draw on our successes and failures to illustrate where things can go wrong, and how to stay on track.

TechSoup Connect Western Canada: Data To Action: Making Your Data Visible and...NetSquared Vancouver
Hosted by TechSoup Connect Western Canada on July 20, 2022.
https://events.techsoup.org/e/m85bvc/
Almost every organization has two superpowers. The first is the data that they have packed away in databases and spreadsheets, often collecting virtual dust on their servers. The second is the visual faculties of their donors, clients, board members and staff members. While most of us glaze over at the sight of a spreadsheet, humans are wired to process visual information at lightning speed. By visualizing our data, we make it more accessible and usable.
You will leave this webinar with a clear understanding of:
The two superpowers organizations have and how to wield them more often and more effectively;
How you can use data visualization (aka data viz) to address key problems you face showing and evaluating your impact;
The types of visualizations that work best for different purposes; and
How to turn a good viz into a great one.
Hosted by TechSoup Connect BC on June 7, 2022.

Learn how to create effective and easy-to-follow procurement processes, with simple tips and examples for every nonprofit. Our expert presenter will cover:
Finding the best value
Sourcing and contract management
Supplier and savings management
Hiring compliant suppliers who share your values

We’ll help you identify gaps in your data and show you how to think about collecting better data to tell even more in-depth and nuanced stories about your work.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

The Agile Approach To Creating Better Audience Engagement with Mack Hardy
1. The agile approach to
creating better
audience engagement
Presented by Mack Hardy,
CEO Affinity Bridge
2. CASE STUDY:
ARRIVAL ADVISOR
● Affinity Bridge partnered with
PeaceGeeks to create an app to
help immigrants and refugees
settle in BC
● The challenge: a wide variety of
stakeholders, and a complex
audience with varying degrees
of trauma, literacy and technical
skills.
3. 3
● What groups or individuals have
a vested interest in or influence
over what you’re doing?
● Who will be using your
website/app?
● Try to be detailed and specific
about your audience
TEST YOUR ASSUMPTIONS
ON REAL AUDIENCE
MEMBERS
4. ● An iterative (agile) approach
means testing your concept at
regular intervals throughout the
project, and adjusting course
along the way
● The earlier the testing, the less
time spent moving in the wrong
direction
VALIDATE EARLY AND
OFTEN
5. 5
● It’s impossible to see your own
product objectively.
● You’re almost guaranteed to
find that at least some of your
assumptions were wrong.
● Remember that the app or
website you’re creating is not
for you – it’s for your audience.
BE WILLING TO LET GO OF
YOUR PRECONCEPTIONS
What we thought our audience wanted:
a personalized checklist, but we discovered it
was far too complex
6. ● Significant cost savings by not
spending development time on
a concept that isn’t going to
work for the audience.
● There’s value in building a
minimum viable product.
COST BENEFITS OF THE
AGILE APPROACH
What our audience actually wanted:
a simplified app that functions more like
a directory with bookmark functionality.
7. ● Taking an iterative / agile
approach results in a much better,
more cost effective product.
● Involving audiences in the
planning stages creates more
engaging results.
