The story of how jobs have evolved over history and what change is coming with the new generation of work style. Work is changing and so is the work force.
I envision a future where people are treated as people and companies understand their aspirations and help them find purpose. No burnouts, no corporate politics.. everybody has a defined place in the society where they feel fulfilled and happy.

Introduction to Trans-disciplinary innovation. Brief description of what Envisioning Labs is doing to accelerate innovation via the Vancouver Innovation Labs in collaboration with Microsoft.
In The Innovation Secrets of Steve Jobs, business journalist Carmine Gallo describes the seven principles that form the philosophical core of master innovator, Steve Jobs. Although there is only one Steve Jobs, studying and following these principles can inspire creativity and the ability to ‘think different’
in any profession or workplace. Among these principles are the importance of following one’s heart and pursuing one’s passion, as well as the importance of seeking out new experiences. Innovations occur by making connections between unexpected things, and this ability is rooted in a life filled with a wide range
of experiences. Simplicity is also crucial, because anything
which is more complicated than it needs to be will attract a narrower audience. Also important is the ability to communicate the importance and utility of one’s innovation, or tell its story, effectively.

Prioritizing Ethical Use of Learning Data.pdfAaron Silvers
Given the context of adult learners in workforce development, in this presentation I (1) model a lifecycle of an xAPI Statement (json data) to understand the potential long-term impacts of once piece of data on real people; (2) curate relevant ethical challenges related to using learning data from a corpus of research literature specifically about the ethics of learning analytics; and (3) impart the need to continuously train the capacity for empathy to strengthen inquiry skills and prioritize ethical use.
xAPI Making Sense of Industry and PracticeAaron Silvers
An overview of questions @MeganBowe and I recommend asking when considering your first big project with xAPI, and how the consortium that will steward xAPI will make this easier.
From our xAPI Camp at Amazon's Headquarters in Seattle, WA on July 21, 2015. The decision to go with xAPI is an exciting one, but a successful xAPI project hinges on an understanding of what success looks like. In this presentation, I share a number of questions one should ask of technology partners and your own team depending on different ways one might use xAPI.
Where Cognitive Science, Interaction Design and Data Dwells: The Competencies...Aaron Silvers
Web technology standards emerged in the early 2000s that reinforced the use of the desktop web browser. After 15 years, we all are part of a new revolution in what it means “to be online” thanks to APIs and connected devices. The Experience API (xAPI) is a new standard, encouraging a new type of practitioner who helps people learn and improve through cognitive science, interaction design and data. In this session, we'll talk about xAPI and highlight the new competencies needed to work with it.
There's a paradigm shift that follows the use of the Experience API. The shift comes from seeking insights on how effective our designed experiences are versus judgments about how well people learn from them. This change in mindset focuses on the outcomes from the audience that manifest in observable ways, mapped directly to our design assertions. It's not about xAPI or any specific technology - it's about modeling our design to get the insights we need to improve our design.
Content Wrangling: Applying Content Strategy & Information ArchitectureAaron Silvers
Everything a learning organization does has workflows —including content strategy. To achieve those strategic goals, realizing content strategy requires two workflows to (a) establish a baseline on what content you have, and (b) how to improve its use to humans, based on a LEAN approach to learning as a way of doing hypothesis-based design and continuous improvement of the content and the delivery mechanisms for it.
Creating a Culture of Continuous ImprovementAaron Silvers
Many managers covet about continuous improvement process but "process" is what helps guarantee we get consistent and similar output for the work performed. Improvement is a change state, so we need to think about "workflows." For learning, talent management and human performance organizations, we can leverage what's been working in tech and manufacturing industries: a LEAN approach to learning as a way of doing hypothesis-based design.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Dive into the innovative world of smart garages with our insightful presentation, "Exploring the Future of Smart Garages."

42. ALL THIS TO SAY…
LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO CREATED THE EXPERIENCE
API, THE PEOPLE INNOVATING WITH IT COME FROM THE
FRINGES OF THE COMMUNITY, INDUSTRY AND MARKET.
THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT DEALING WITH THE

THEY ARE FIGURING OUT HOW THEY CAN ADD
TANGIBLE, VISIBLE VALUE TO BUSINESS WITH WHAT THEY
CAN DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT;
WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION.
BIGGER QUESTION: HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?
44. OUR PEOPLE AREN’T CHILDREN. TECHNOLOGY SHOULD SERVE PEOPLE
COMING TOGETHER, GET OUT OF THEIR WAY AND AMBIENTLY ASSIST THEM
RESPOND TO CHALLENGES.
“SCHOOL” IS NO LONGER OUR MODEL.
45. DESIGN PRACTITIONERS ARE EVERYWHERE, AND THEY HAVE SIMILAR
CHALLENGES IN EVERY PRACTICE. LEARN FROM WHAT’S WORKING IN OTHER
SPACES; GAIN RELEVANCE IN OURS.
ADAPT WHAT WORKS.
47. NO MATTER WHAT THE PRODUCT OR PROJECT, LET NO PART OF IT ESCAPE
YOUR COMMAND OF WHAT THE TECHNOLOGY DOES, HOW IT WORKS AND
HOW ITS FUNCTION SUPPORTS THE OUTCOMES INTENDED.
MASTER WHAT YOU EMPLOY.

Editor's Notes
Western films often tell stories about the conquest of the wilderness and the subordination of nature, in the name of civilization, or the confiscation of the territorial rights of the original inhabitants of the frontier.
Western heroes are often local lawmen, ranchers, army officers, cowboys or a skilled, fast-draw gunfighter. They are normally persons of integrity and principle - courageous, moral, tough, solid and self-sufficient, maverick characters (often with trusty sidekicks), possessing an independent and honorable attitude (but often characterized as slow-talking).
demythologized conventions of US-made Westerns, exposed dualities challenged a status quo
Moving away from organizing digital information with files and folders. Moving towards organizing information by people, places and shared experiences. A core tenet of this idea was that learning is a verb, not a noun.
Looking at the work done by Dee Hock at Visa in the late 1960s and 1970s, I spoke with people who architected Visa’s successful plan, specifically a gent named Joel Getzendammer, and it came down to thinking about a self-organizing system of “agreements.”Two distinct meanings, both of which are essential to the success of human systems. More on this in the next part of this talk. For now, let’s just stick with that if we were going to be true to our notion that we wanted to organize information by people, places and shared experiences as opposed to files and folders, we would also want to architect a network of services and systems that behaved the way human networks (families, teams, organizations) work – which is that there are some things that are implicit and subject to change over time, and there are some rules that reinforce those things, which from time to time need to change too.
So, let’s go back to what I’m sure made your head itch… a chaordic model for human systems.Learning a lesson from what followed from SCORM, there was an assumption that the use of a standard, in practice, is only as true to the standard, in principle, as people wish to be.So… consider the definitions of “agreements,”The first definition emphasizes a state of relationship that already exists. The harmony of opinion or feeling can be the result of a common process or it can be accidental. It can be trivial or profound. Formally acknowledged or implicit. A logical conclusion or an unarticulated sense of things. It doesn’t even have to be fully recognized by the parties. It just has to be a fact that is for all intents and purposes, shared.The second meaning of agreement is defined by the process that gives rise to it (negotiated) and the form it takes (arrangement). It is focused towards the future, maintaining alignment over time. It is tested in action, not just in spirit. It can be legally binding among different parties.Hence, these two definitions aren’t mutually exclusive. The most easily reached agreements (second definition) are those based on already existing agreement (first definition). Orgs function smoothly when there is significant agreement (first definition) among members, with a sufficient number of agreements (second definition) to deal with outliers and free-riders.Agreement (first definition) can’t be imposed. It is either present or it isn’t and It can change over time. it’s often hard to tell whether agreement is real, since it is based on an internal state of mind. People can have an incentive to have others think they are in agreement when they’re really not.Agreements (second definition) are designed to be enforceable in some way, take for example “conformance” to a spec. Some action is taken, or it’s not. There are objective tests whether an agreement is kept. It’s hard to specify all of the desired actions prior to an activity, especially a complex one. So, again, it’s highly valuable to have agreements (first definition) backing up agreements (second definition).
We can’t make things that trap us into one way of thinking and later encourage us to stop innovating until we, again, completely reinvent how we do things. Learning from the people and policy implications from SCORM, for a community effort to be alive, there had to be an understanding that we could break the rules we imagined that came with SCORM, and create anew – recognizing that in five years or so someone else may come along with a new idea to respond to all the unintentional challenges we created, and we should make it easier for them to make things better.

NASA, the FCC, the Open Government Platform and The White House all have more people favoriting and forking certain projects of theirs. In terms of the number of active contributors outside of government (especially outside of the US), the Experience API fares pretty close to even with these bigger guys, also about third place (and arguably better depending on how you want to define “opengov”)
