15 Behavioural Economics Principles to increase ConversionsSiteVisibility
This presentation demonstrates the value of understanding and using a variety of behavioural economics principles to achieve results in your digital marketing campaign.
This was a presentation I did on Malcolm Gladwell's Blink 4 years ago in University. There are some points missing that were presented verbally, but it's still an interesting summary on a fantastic book.
Aspiration, confidence, fear of failure and trust play a role in the B2B buying mindset. It sounds obvious, but avoidance of risk is a key component of business continuity and it’s easy to forget that B2B buyers are human beings, rather than rational decision-making robots. Brands need to invest time in understanding how their audience makes decisions if they are to influence them
Social media and data analytics are coming together to create a new world - one that combines human creativity with information technology to deliver power beyond imagination.
Do you know how to use Behavioural Economics? It's a game changer. Many researchers and marketers talk about this new way of uncovering deeper, more meaningful insights – but do you actually know how to apply it?
Behavioral Economics as a Lens for Interaction designPaul Sas
Interaction designers craft experiences by curating the flow of information within contexts that aim to focus attention and interest. Subtle psychological details can dramatically transform an experience. Experimental results from behavioral economics spotlight opportunities for improving the dynamics of an interaction: The presentation frame can harness intrinsically motivating cues, drive engagement, and enable people to develop behavioral patterns that harmonize with their deepest aspirations.

Influence Strategies for Software ProfessionalsTechWell
You’ve tried and tried to convince people of your position. You’ve laid out your logical arguments on impressive PowerPoint slides—but you are still not able to sway them. Cognitive scientists understand that the approach you are taking is rarely successful. Often you must speak to others’ subconscious motivators rather than their rational, analytic side. Linda Rising shares influence strategies that you can use to more effectively convince others to see things your way. These strategies take advantage of a number of hardwired traits: liking—we like people who are like us; reciprocity—we repay in kind; social proof—we follow the lead of others similar to us; consistency—we align ourselves with our previous commitments; authority—we defer to authority figures; and scarcity—we want more of something when there is less to be had. Join Linda to learn how to build on these traits as a way of bringing others to your side. Use this valuable toolkit in addition to the logical left-brain techniques on which we depend.
You’re a project manager and you’ve just been given an Agile project to look after. You ask for reports and you get burndown charts, velocity graphs, and cumulative flow diagrams. What in the world are these, and why do you suddenly have a migraine headache? Metrics are different in Agile, but the questions remain the same. Come and see what your brain needs to understand the tracking of products built in an Agile way. We’ll build an Agile dashboard that you can take into your next meeting.

We know about sample size!
But often can’t help ourselves.
Did you initially notice “sparsely populated”?
What is the difference?
Large samples are more precise than small samples.
Small samples yield extreme results more often than large samples do.
Hence, small counties, less people so …?
Certainty & doubt
Our mind has a preference for sliding into certainty over maintaining doubt

Speaking of the Law of Small Numbers
“Yes, the studio has had three successful films since the new CEO took over. But it is too early to declare he has a hot hand.”
“The sample of observations is too small to make any inferences. Let’s not follow the law of small numbers.”
“I plan to keep the results of the experiment secret until we have a sufficiently large sample. Otherwise we will face pressure to reach a conclusion prematurely.”

The future media agency is not an agency
20 years ago, an average media plan took around 50 decisions to make. Today, it is more like 5.000. Without an artificial intelligence, you cannot longer keep up. Let's face the truth, the game is changing, transparency counts more than trust and media agencies must re-think their business. Andreas will show you how A.I. can already be successfully integrated into the strategic media planning and how it can allow as to make smarter, data driven decisions in order to maximize ROI across our marketing mix.

OK. So there are no more screens. Now what?
What happens when media moves beyond the "frame" - be it a television, movie-screen, tablet or phone? What do stories become? How do brands engage with them? Is this the end of mass media or just another beginning? If you think screens are going to disappear what can you do today to prepare? Or should you just cross your fingers and hope that your existing business model will still be there in 3 to 5 years? Nick Bicanic will talk about the future of frameless media.

Words at Work (And Words that Don’t Work at Work)
The words we choose matter. In the space of one sentence, an audience can decide whether to tune in or tune out, just as a single slogan can change our perception of a product forever. Susie would like to try to illuminate the areas where marketers can get things spectacularly wrong, and suggest how they can make them dramatically right, all thanks to the vocabulary they choose. Electing the right form of language costs nothing but can pay remarkable dividends.
She’ll also be discussing jargon and how, contrary to all expectations, it can be a force for the good, providing it’s used in the right way!
Throughout, Susie will be drawing on examples from various industries of language that worked, and the kind that really didn’t, and examining some case studies in which the addition of a simple phrase, to a request, dramatically changed the result. Each will, she hopes, demonstrate the saying that ‘words are free - it’s how you use them that may cost you’.

Why Modern Leadership Fails: Biology has the answer
Modern leadership is the most talked and written about topic in business - yet despite millions of articles and thousands of books and academic studies, there are still so many examples of failure in leadership in both commerce and politics - why? It is the most talked about and least understood academic topic. John's rationale is simple - business and management education has focused on outcomes and used military leadership as its base - this is outdated and now less useful. Few people have looked at evolutionary biology and neuroscience to provide a proper explanation of why we think as we do and why mismatches occur all the time. This talk is about putting the biology back into management and leadership.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

13. People think in 2 different systems – on the one hand intuitively and impulsively,
on the other hand rationally and slowly
The previous questions are from Shane Frederick‟s Cognitive Reflection Test.
The right answers are as follows:
The ball costs 5 Cents (intuitively: 10 Rappen)
100 maschines need 5 minutes (intuitively: 100 minutes) to produce 100 products
It takes 47 days (intuitively: 24 days) until the water lilies cover half the pond
People think in two different
systems*:
System 1 is...
...intuitive,
...fast and
...impulsive.
System 1 causes people in certain situations to…
… be impatient
… have low self-control and
… display little stamina.
System 2 however is...
...rational,
...slow and
...lazy.
*Kahneman, D. (2011). Thinking, Fast and Slow.
System 2 can easily solve the previous questions, but it
often is not even involved in the decision.

14. Even students of Ivy League Universities don’t have control over their system 1
Even the great majority of Ivy League
students don‟t answer these
questions correctly
This shows that not only cognitive skills
are key to this test, but mostly also
non-cognitive skills.
Thinking can be difficult.
Most people try to avoid difficulties if possible and will often make intuitive decisions instead
(system 1).

15. The implications of explicit and implicit image for market research
Our product experience is
mostly influenced by implicit
processes, for example
expectations, implicit reference
points, etc.
If those are positive and
reference points are not
violated, brands and products
are more likely to be considered
by the consumer
We can draw one clear conclusion from this:
market research, based on cognitive decisions,
has very limited power.

Evidence shows that
media brands greatly
influence the credibility of
news items – more than
the actual content.
Brands are a type of overall frame for different products
It‟s not a question of „brand or
product‟, „sales or image‟,
„functional or emotional‟ benefit.
Brands provide a background
leading to a product‟s higher
perceived value.

17. Lessons learned: Consumers behave pretty irrational
Latest behavioral economic research provides empirical insights about systematic human skills and abilities
These human skills and abilities need to be taken into account when analyzing behavior of employees and managers
People can only assess a limited
amount of information, systematically
overweigh losses compared to equal
gains and tend to be overconfident. For
instance, they cannot always assess
risks and often act according to
stereotypes. Thus, they often act in a way
that does not seem fully rational.
People‟s behavior is influenced by social
preferences. Emotional skills like
empathy influence how these social
preferences are put in action.
People
Human behavior is influenced by limited
willpower and limited self-control,
presence-biased time preferences as
well as heterogeneous levels of
motivation.
People have different social identities
(job, leisure, family) with different social
norms. The sense of belonging to a
social identity can overwrite social
preferences.

23. Overconfidence is a widespread phenomenon
People are systematically overconfident, which has tremendous impact on the decisions we make.
Overconfidence regarding own skills and capabilities:
As the questions demands a relative
consideration of the present audience, the
shares above and below average should be
equally big
Assumptions: a roughly normal distribution
A variety of empirical studies shows that
people systematically overestimate their skills
and performance
Men are more overconfident than women
(which can already be observed in childhood)
Wherever overconfidence applies, it is more
difficult to change behavior

26. Choice Architecture plays a major role in the pricing policy (II/II)
The effect of Choice Architecture can be illustrated with the aid of the following example:
In a field experiment* participants were able to choose between different subscription offers for “The Economist”
When the choice was between web subscription only and print & web subscription, most participants chose web subscription only
With an additional, clearly inferior, choice that nobody chose, the previous preferences were changed completely

Explanation
The effects can be explained in the following way:
Consumer prefer one-off payments over multiple installment payments, because oneoff payments only „hurt“ once (loss-aversion, prospect theory).
The Framing of the increase is very important. The „hidden increase of the annual fee
via a split of the annual fee will, on average, be considered as unfair. Unfairness very
often triggers a „negative reciprocate behavior“, i.e. customers are willing to incur
own cost by harming the company (negative referral, churn ,etc. ). Additionally,
additional flexibility is „very seldom“ a sufficient argument for price increases.

Conclusion
Loss-Aversion is the
main trigger for
customers in the case of
splitting annual

This approach in order to

The increase of the annual fee will be introduced by an
opt-out structure
Explanation
The „Gold-Premium Status“ was given to all customers. The idea was to
create an „endowment-effect“. Consumers do not want to lose the status
and suffer „loss-aversion“. Due to this effect, overwhelming part of the
customers accept the price increase due to the fact, that they do not want
to lose the new privileges
This effect is considerably higher by male consumers with high income.
The opt-out (old status, old price) option was used in a modest frequency.
Conclusion
Status matters and has its price
Choice Architecture matters and has
low impact on customer
dissatisfaction.

29. Putting the pieces together – lessons learned
•
Irrational consumer behavior is systematic and can be observed in different
cultures, markets or customer segments
•
Traditional market research asks the “pilot” and produces feedbacks that do not
reflect real consumer behavior in the real world
•
Overwhelming part of consumers believe, that their consumption behavior reflects
ethical standards, however, in the moment of truth, they regularly act against their
beliefs
•
Good and bad consumption behavior does mainly reflect choice architecture and
framing of campaigns and products
•
Marketing Managers can often design their products & campaigns in a way, that
consumers are “nudged” into better behavior, without harming business goals
