Lightning Talk #7: Outwards and Inwards Experiential Transformation: A KASKUS...ux singapore
Kaskus was founded in 1999, and ever since, has been the largest online community in Indonesia. Many of the old-time users have reluctance to change, and any changes done can shake the ground of the hard-core fans. On the other hand, with the shift in the user behavior and the new wave of competitions, change is inevitable. KASKUS needs to adapt to stay relevant and to continuously deliver great experiences for its users.
In this presentation, the presenters will share two sides of the stories: first is the transformation of the Kaskus products, and second is the transformation of the organisation to support this new direction.

The term digital transformation has been bandied about too much, covering everything from business transformation, the creation of efficiencies and new websites to playing with new digital platforms. In reality, it’s business transformation – but with a focus on customers and stakeholders with digital technologies as the catalyst for change. Success is determined by an organisation’s ability to unite and empower their people, processes and products. Only this will generate customer-centric experiences that perform effectively. Danny’s talk explores Cyber-Duck’s top tips for successful digital transformations, drawing on his experience guiding clients through risks and opportunities.

Sustainable product design in a changing worldVantageITes
When it comes to effective product design in marketing, there are two main considerations - design and development - often offered as a package. For those familiar with the marketing process, you may already have burned your hands getting designers to understand your brand message only to turn around and have to find a third party developer that you then have to on-board with your idea all over again. Instead of wasting time bringing professionals up to par with your vision, there is a simpler way to accomplish your digital outreach goals - work with a multidisciplinary agency.

Demystifying UX, CX and Digital TransformationMelissa Wilfley
I presented this talk for the WPP/Wunderman Thompson Singapore educational series.
In order to get your organisation, team and/or agency to enable digital transformation through customer experience you need to level-set definitions and get everyone on the same page on what these terms mean. This talk is meant to help you understand:
1. The difference between UI / UX / CX
2. Importance of Customer Experience Management and CX Business Strategies
3. How CX fits into Digital Transformation
There are inherent differences in the expectations of engineers working in for profit, nonprofit and not for profit organizations. These inherent differences can alter the day to day activities, as well as the long term vision of the company and its employees. Understanding the culture of these different types of organizations will help ensure engineers choose a place of employment consistent with their own vision and goals.

These slides show how the challenges of industry formation depend on the level of complexity in the relevant products/services and whether a critical mass of users/complementary products is needed before growth will continue. While the formation of most new industries depends on when a new technology becomes economically feasible and thus potentially provides a superior “value proposition” to an increasing number of users, industries with complex products/services or that require a critical mass of users/complementary products before growth will continue face additional challenges.
Take a deep dive into the nuts and bolts of becoming a Certified B Corp including what to expect, the timeline for certification, and how you can prepare.
This presentation was given on July 14th, 2015 by Kara Peck, Katie Oberwager, and Jessica Friesen from B Lab.
Being first to market in the industrial automation space is no easy task, and involves creating new vocabulary, redefining technology territories and communicating technical messages in an easy to understand manner. Invensys faced this challenge head on In 2006 when they introduced InFusion ECS as the world’s first Enterprise Control System. InFusion ECS was part of a Blue Ocean marketing strategy by Invensys, which means to create new market space or a “blue ocean”, thereby making the competition irrelevant. Although the launch was successful, trying to create a new market space in an engineering-driven market presented some very interesting challenges. Among the greatest challenges included:
driving a business value proposition in an technology-focused segment – a shift from product features to business solutions
overcoming the devaluation of the technology itself as a commodity and demonstrating the huge potential value of automation/information technology overall to the business;
driving a human empowerment theme in a market where automation replaces human power;
driving a collaboration between accounting and engineering, two functions that do not see eye to eye
showing the value of instrument and control engineering to an audience that has diminished those skill sets to a thing of the past;
sales channel disconnects; and
market message targeting.
Dr. Martin will share the journey that Invensys took for the launch of InFusion ECS from a sales and marketing perspective. He will expose the challenges, barriers and pitfalls and Invensys’ ongoing diligence and their continued persistence to overcome them and to thrive in a difficult industrial automation marketplace.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
