This document discusses how principles of urban planning can inform the design of social businesses. It argues that planning involves linking knowledge to action in the public domain to create socially rational outcomes, and that social media platforms aim to enable social transformation, making their designers planners. The document outlines lessons from urban planning like the roles individuals play in communities and how social comfort levels change as systems grow in scale and complexity. It suggests concepts like emergent paths, space vs. place, safe failure, and utopian visions can transfer to social business design.
This is a short presentation that was quickly put together for UX Barcamp DC. There are a few items that I hadn't put into slides before, but have been background in many other presentations.
Interfaces for social software are simple. But designing, developing and managing social platforms is not.
Thomas Vander Wal presents some of the lenses he uses to help companies increase user adoption and engagement by better understanding the complexities around social software.
Social Media + Community Planning is a presentation originally given to the Midwest Section of the American Planning Association meeting on June 11, 2010
As social media tools reach greater levels of ubiquity, technology and conversations are meshing in new and interesting ways.
Planning professionals can leverage the tools of the social web to better engage communities in meaningful conversations, strategically listen, and help make informed decisions for programs and procedures.
From social networking, photo and video sharing, blogging, and more, planners have new tools to understand.

"Work like the Network" for the Social Business Summit 2010Lane Becker
Subtitle: Six Ways Organizations are Fundamentally Reorganizing Since the Advent of the Internet
Businesses can only see explosive success in the networked economy if they can retool their structures, their cultures, and their base philosophies to be more like the Internet itself. The way people interact, communicate, and make decisions needs to become looser, edge-based, decentralized, open, highly interconnected, and transparent — just to name a few.
In this talk, we’ll range around between the lofty and the practical, covering the broad changes business are experiencing in this new environment, complete with showing examples of how companies have done this and the kinds of success that can follow.
"Overcoming the Fear: What C-Level Execs are Afraid of When it Comes to Socia...Blend Interactive
Overcoming the Fear: What C-Level execs are afraid of when it comes to social intranets
Let’s face it, the biggest hurdle to overcome with a social intranet is often pure fear. The C-level can be hopelessly gunshy about employees displaying the slightest about of intranet-sanctioned social humanity. The idea of a social network behind the firewall wakes them up in a cold sweat at night. Where did this fear come from? And can it be overcome?
Presented by Deane Barker at the Social Intranet Summit 2011 in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Model-driven Development of Social Network-enabled ApplicationsMarco Brambilla
Social technologies are transforming the Web to a place where
users actively contribute to content production and opinion making. Social
networking requirements are becoming a core part of the needs of modern
enterprises too, which need ad-hoc Web platforms that incorporate the right
set of social features for their business. This leads to the need to provide facilities
and methods for developing such socially enabled applications. In
this paper we propose a model-driven approach that is specifically focused
on the development of Web applications that exploit social features. In particular,
we describe an extension of the WebML notation (a Domain Specific
Language designed to model Web applications), comprising a set of
modeling concepts that encapsulate the logic of the interaction with the social
platforms. Upon this, we define a set of design patterns that respond to
the typical needs of enterprises and we show some sample application scenarios.

Detroit’s downtown is experiencing a renaissance unlike anything it has seen in decades. Largely vacant office buildings are filling up with new businesses and residents, the ground floors will soon welcome new shops and restaurants, and the streets and public spaces throughout the downtown are returning to life. Soon a new streetcar on Woodward Avenue, the M-1, will tie the downtown into the City of Detroit to the north, carrying residents, students and employees into the downtown and linking key destinations.
This report focuses on how the public spaces, and particularly the three major downtown parks, can be transformed, both in the long and short term — beginning summer 2013! — so that they support this exciting commercial and residential rebirth in the downtown, and also become destinations in their own right. To develop these ideas, Project For Public Spaces (PPS) brought into focus the concept of Placemaking to downtown Detroit and engaged the public in the Placemaking process. It is the intention of the stakeholder group to begin implementation of these ideas in order to create safe places for Detroit residents, workers and visitors.

Measuring What Matters for Maturity - KM World 2017Thomas Vander Wal
Thomas has been focussing on helping managers with how to improve analytics and measurement in social knowledge platforms beyond the common set of click analytics and pure counts that haven't been insightful nor helpful. He puts a focus on patterns that promote knowledge capture, as well as understandings around improving access, ease of finding, and use and reuse of knowledge that leads to success.
This presentation is from November 12, 2004 given at Design Engaged in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
It focusses on the difficulty syncing content and information between our own devices we own and use. We try to keep our information with us on our devices within our reach, but that is difficult. Adding contextual filtering to cut through the volume of information we have is another issue.
This syncing feeling problem is only slightly better than it was in 2004 when this was presented and the path forward is even more relevant.

This presentation was given to a sold out crowd at Salesforce UX Lecture Series in San Francisco.
This is the second presentation of this and it changed a bit. The focus is how to take the next we must take to improve our social software we are using, particularly for organization within their own walls. The shift of from the social patterns of early adopters to mainstream is really a large shift and things are really difficult to do as we have only just begun the trek again (groupware and KM were the two prior attempts).
Understanding how to look at things through different social lenses so to see what is going on is essential. This presentation is 6 or 7 of my 40+ (now just over 50) social lenses to help do this. This presentation is a high level view, but enough to see gaps and where things could and should change as we move forward.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
