My presentation at TCWorld India 2015.
In this interactive workshop, the focus is on learning good writing with the help of a few design blunders. The session is about the design of writing that decides the usability of content. We have always heard people say (and probably said this ourselves), “One cannot teach good writing.” However, we all understand whether a piece of writing is good or bad. We can prove it by giving a set of reasons to support our opinion. Maybe there is a way to teach good writing. Visualizing a piece of writing helps in learning and teaching good writing. I am proposing a technique to learn good writing through visual reviews.
I presented this session for the first time at STC India Annual Conference, 2013. I presented it again in April 2014 as part of the Pune Learning Sessions conducted by STC India.
Dick Bruna, the creator of Miffy, practiced minimalism without labeling it so. I use these slides for a highly interactive session, where participants understand the beauty of minimalism through artworks of Miffy.
After the session, the participants don't feel daunted by minimalism. They befriend it as a creative approach that makes their content friendlier. The session also emphasizes how the brain works differently when practicing minimalism.
Microsoft was founded in 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen. It started as a software company and became a leader in operating systems and office software. While Gates stepped down as CEO in 2000, Microsoft continues to be a major global technology company with over 95,000 employees worldwide.
I delivered this session at STC India's Annual Conference in 2014, and then in the Pune Marathon Meet of STC India. The session discusses why it is the right time to start innovating and taking initiatives for technical communicators in India. The interactive session encourages technical communicators to understand what innovation is, and how to bring about creativity in technical content development.

2. The water company, PG&E, knowingly contaminated the water supply in Hinkley, California with the toxic chemical chromium VI.
3. When Erin discovers the contamination, she informs affected families, taking an objectivist approach that prioritizes informing individuals over protecting the company responsible.

This document discusses the concepts of Total Preventive Maintenance (TPM) and Total Productive Maintenance (TPM). It explains that while TPM is commonly referred to, there were historically two different approaches: Total Preventive Maintenance focused solely on production areas to minimize waste, while Total Productive Maintenance took a whole-company approach including administrative departments. The document also outlines the common "8 pillars" framework for TPM implementation and clarifies some differences in understanding regarding the role of administrative departments.

The Cloud Native Journey with Simon ElishaChloe Jackson
The ability to deliver software is no longer a differentiator. In fact, it is a basic requirement for survival. Companies that embrace cloud native patterns of software delivery will survive; companies that don’t will not.
In this webinar, we will:
- Look at the common patterns that distinguish cloud native companies and the architectures that they employ.
- Discover that an opinionated platform, one that stretches from the infrastructure all the way to the application framework, rather than ad-hoc automation, is an essential component to an enterprise's cloud native journey.
- Show that the combination of Pivotal Cloud Foundry and Spring is the complete cloud native platform.

This document is a newsletter from itSM Solutions that discusses measuring IT service quality. It argues that traditional technical metrics like jitter and loss do not capture how well IT services meet user needs or perceptions of quality. Instead, it recommends measuring Impacted User Minutes (IUM), which captures degradation across four key service attributes: availability, capacity, security, and data integrity. IUM can be used to bridge communications between business and IT and help justify IT expenses. When assigned a cost, IUM also provides a way to calculate cost of downtime (CoD) for the organization.
The document discusses predictive maintenance and the Internet of Things (IoT) in the context of aircraft maintenance, repair, and operations. It describes how predictive maintenance goes beyond traditional approaches to also predict component failures before they occur. This allows time to prepare and prevents aircraft from being taken out of service unnecessarily. Dynamic diagnostics are also discussed, which can now be proactive by analyzing real-time sensor data using reasoning engines. Significant amounts of operational data from aircraft need to be managed. Original equipment manufacturers are developing solutions for their own aircraft, but an open, interoperable approach across the industry is needed to realize the full benefits.

9 Developing and Acquiring Information Systems
After reading this chapter, you will be able to do the following:
1. Describe how to formulate and present the business case for technology investments.
2. Describe the systems development life cycle and its various phases.
3. Explain how organizations acquire systems via external acquisition and outsourcing.
Preview
As you have read throughout this book and have experienced in your own life, information systems and technologies are of many different types, including high-speed
Web servers to rapidly process customer requests, business intelligence systems to aid managerial decision making, and customer relationship management systems to
provide improved customer service. Given this variety, when we refer to “systems” in this chapter, we are talking about a broad range of technologies, including
hardware, software, and services. Just as there are different types of systems, there are different approaches for developing and acquiring them. If you are a business
student majoring in areas such as marketing, finance, accounting, or management, you might be wondering why we have a discussion about developing and acquiring
information systems. The answer is simple: No matter what area of an organization you are in, you will be involved in systems development or technology acquisition
processes. In fact, research indicates that spending on systems in many organizations is controlled by the specific business functions rather than by the information
systems (IS) department. What this means is that even if your career interests are in something other than information systems, it is very likely that you will be
involved in the development and acquisition of systems, technologies, or services. Understanding this process is important to your future success.
Managing in the Digital World: Microsoft Is “Kinecting” Its Ecosystem
How useful would an iPhone or an Android smartphone be without the apps? How useful would a Blu-ray player be without a large selection of movies available in that
format? The value of many devices or systems grows with the size of their ecosystems, including the users, application or content developers, sellers, and marketplaces. Like
a tree standing still in a world without rain, birds, or flowers—a tree that would likely not be able to survive—the iPhone sans the “apps” would be much less useful, less
exciting, and much less successful in the marketplace. Similarly, Google, Microsoft, and, not surprisingly, Amazon.com (http://Amazon.com) are trying to build large
ecosystems around their products and services (Figure 9.1 (http://content.thuzelearning.com/books/Valacich.3917.17.1/sections/ch09#ch09fig1) ).

We will be discussing the challenges around applying IoT technologies to personal healthcare and how we can use Pivotal Technologies to build a more efficient solution.
The discussion will start by reviewing the challenges with personal healthcare including the privacy and security concerns and considerations. We will also delve into how Arther C Clarke's third law can be used to describe IoT technologies. With this context, we will explore building a personal healthcare IoT solution on PCF using Spring Technologies.

Retaliation between the British and colonists escalated tensions during the lead up to the Revolutionary War. When the colonists protested British taxes through acts like the Boston Tea Party, the British retaliated with violence that killed colonists. In turn, colonists responded to British shows of force, like declaring war after patriots stole gunpowder, with further acts of defiance. This cycle of retaliation on both sides demonstrated how lack of compromise and increasing retaliation can push conflicts toward open war.

Superpower Your Apache Kafka Applications Development with Complementary Open...Paul Brebner
Kafka Summit talk (Bangalore, India, May 2, 2024, https://events.bizzabo.com/573863/agenda/session/1300469 )
Many Apache Kafka use cases take advantage of Kafka’s ability to integrate multiple heterogeneous systems for stream processing and real-time machine learning scenarios. But Kafka also exists in a rich ecosystem of related but complementary stream processing technologies and tools, particularly from the open-source community. In this talk, we’ll take you on a tour of a selection of complementary tools that can make Kafka even more powerful. We’ll focus on tools for stream processing and querying, streaming machine learning, stream visibility and observation, stream meta-data, stream visualisation, stream development including testing and the use of Generative AI and LLMs, and stream performance and scalability. By the end you will have a good idea of the types of Kafka “superhero” tools that exist, which are my favourites (and what superpowers they have), and how they combine to save your Kafka applications development universe from swamploads of data stagnation monsters!

Hello everyone. I’m Mugdha Kulkarni, and I work with TIBCO Software out of their Pune office. I am also the Pune city representative of STC India. Today I will be sharing a very easy and effective visual technique to improve your own writing or the writing of your team mates.
In this workshop, we will first understand the importance of writing as our core skill. Then we will see a visualization technique to improve writing skills, which you can implement either for yourself, or for your team mates. These visualizations focus mainly on the issues in writing, and hence are visualizations of bad writing. We will see seven samples of such visualizations or designs. And lastly, we will see how to plan this program for your team or for yourself.
Writing is Design is almost a one-line haiku. Everyone can interpret it the way they want. So let’s set our expectations right about this workshop. The design I am talking about here is not the document layout, or formatting, or template. It’s also not about the information design or information structure or the Table of Contents.
Rather the session is about visualizing the content. When the writer and the mentor both visualize the same content, there’s some magic that can happen. Learning and teaching good writing becomes easier with these visualization techniques. In short, in these 40 minutes, we are going to learn how to teach writing.
But why do we need to teach writing? After all, don’t we expect the entrants of the profession to be good writers first?
Let’s look at it from another angle. Do you believe that each technical writer today is a writer at heart? How many of us consider ourselves real writers?
People come into TW from various backgrounds and professions. They may not be formally educated in TW. Not all the courses pay attention to the core writing skills. Obviously, there’s a serious need to teach writing to your team mates. Or if you are the lone writer in your company, there’s a serious need to learn writing. Is there?
If you or your team mate is not a good writer, what are the problems arising from it? – Say, badly written emails? Poor communication with peers or management? Other functions looking down on your profession? Calling you copy-paste people? The list just goes on. What’s the basic problem behind all these issues? Writing. So even if writing skill tops the basic requirements list when you were hiring or were hired, there’s a serious need to improve writing. I agree it is difficult to teach writing, it is difficult to take time out to mentor your team mates… So what is the luxurious solution we offer?
Reviews. Linguistic reviews are still a luxury at workplace. Most of the companies will never have a reviewer or an editor. If it’s a team of writers, peer reviews is a common practice. However, the actual reviews and their depth depends on the deadlines and time available for the review cycle. We never get to do a substantive review. We have to be happy with the copy edits we get or we give. The review comments address grammatical and stylistic compliance issues than the basic writing issues. Plus these reviews come in the picture as we near the deadline.
I must share with you all this titbit I recently learned. Jeffrey Archer, the famous novelist, had come to India to promote his books. When he was in Pune, he said, he writes 18 drafts of his manuscript. Eighteen drafts. Forget developing a draft 18 times, we don’t even get to read our own content thrice before publishing it. Of course we are not expecting the same level of literary masterpiece, so we can let that go. However, we must admit that we don’t really have a choice when it comes to the most basic skill. We must learn, teach, and hone good writing skills. The question is how?!
Distribute exercise sheets. Exercise time – 5 min. One example for each flaw.
You all knew or assumed I am asking you to criticize the content. You trusted me enough not to have the writer in this room. Now imagine – This girl here is the writer. Tell her the same issues you told just now. What happens? What comes into play is a completely different set of dynamics. What was supposed to be a simple exchange of knowledge and ideas becomes a emotional experience. I am not saying this happens everywhere and with everyone. However, the chances of it happening are pretty high. The effect?
In an effort to avoid negativity, the feedback process or the review process is completed as a statutory requirement. Result? – Writing never improves.
Even if we assume that your organization has a good editor/editing guidelines and processes, the whole idea of reviews sticks to fixing problems at the last minute. As we saw before, it focuses only on the grammatical and stylistic compliance. That’s why, I’ve thought of this visualization technique with a hope to make our lives simpler and the process more effective.
Establish a mentoring program focused only on writing. Once you finalize the members who will participate in this program, allocate a specific time period – of say a month or two. Define the issues in writing that you want to address in this time frame. These will be your goals. Once you decide all such things, make sure each member in your program team understands and appreciates the structure and goals of this program.
By now, you must have realized, this is an overhead activity. It is an investment. This program works better for interns or inexperienced writers, and assumes that the mentor and the interns are committed to sharpening the writing skill. Precisely the reason why, this activity should have a definite start and end. Just like a customer service week, celebrate a “Back-to-Writing Month”!
Prepare a few guidelines and processes or best practices for this program. That will help you all be on the same page.
Once you set all these aspects in place, it’s time to define the visuals for each type of writing issue. Make sure the issues in writing you are trying to fix are not too many. Create a visual for each issue, and make sure each team member understands and interprets that visual in the same consistent way. We will be creating stamps of these visuals, which can then be used for a review comment without a word.
By the way, don’t stop at defining the visuals. Also define the actions to be taken after receiving a visual stamp.
Let us see seven samples of such visualizations of bad writing. Why not begin with the paragraph we saw earlier?
The classic problem in the paragraph is that the writer is talking about too many concepts and components at once.
What’s the issue with such writing? You give the control of the learning in the user’s hand. If you sow too many seeds, you won’t know which one might germinate. Do you want the user to learn whatever catches their fancy? Or are you directing them well towards something in particular?
Saying, “It’s a watermelon. We need a mango.” is far more neutral than saying, “You are talking about so many ideas and facts at once. Deal with one at a time.”
With imagery, writers start thinking about the one big seed. It helps them, sometimes even forces them, to identify the central idea. Once it is identified, the supporting ideas fall in place. Writing becomes easier. They will obviously start the paragraph with a topic sentence.
Now let’s try and mark the next stamps on various other examples.
Grammatically correct, small sentences also can be complex. Especially when they come after one another to form a paragraph.
This is your chance to make writers understand the minimalism principles. A little on minimalism as how it’s not about less content – but less processing time for users.
Exercise: Which of the paragraphs in the given samples comes closest to this problem? Identify it.
I call it a twisty straw tumbler. What did you call it?
Wordiness is a common problem. It’s rather an indicator of a cluttered mind. If the writer doesn’t have clarity, it won’t be translated to the content.
Also note skimpy content. It indicates an empty mind. Encourage the writer to research more about the idea/thought/fact/task.
Do you see a paragraph that fits this bill? Which one?
You can use stamp of a long skirt if it’s something as wordy as the sample paragraph we chose. If the content is too less, draw a tutu there! ;)
It’s better to choose a fun visual to make the point. Negative visuals leave the writer with a negative feeling. Visuals should make them laugh, and learn. When choosing fun visuals, also be aware of sensitivities of your team mates.
Long lengthy paragraphs don’t invite the readers. We all know that retention of visually-rich information is supposed to be way higher than retention of textual information. If your content demands your team to create visuals, this writing issue might be on top of your list.
Ready to find the paragraph that’s begging for a visual representation?
This is the stamp I chose. Yours might be better!
Sometimes, the writer has lots of information of the subject. However, weaving that information in a single thread might be a challenge. Do you see it happening in your writing or your team mate’s writing? I’m sure there’s one such paragraph in the samples I gave. Did you get it already?
The central concept is obviously the moon. That’s why I would not use the watermelon stamp here.
By now you must have got the idea of how to visualize, and how to use those visualizations as stamps.
Today we understand this symbol of conversation as an IM application, and the visual for a tower signal as the range.
Just like one of the basic principles in UI design, real-world analogies help users in content experience as well. Such examples and analogies provide users a highly intuitive and delightful experience. Extend such examples appropriately so that the unique and exciting experience it offers balances the familiar experiences with new ones.
Encourage good real-world examples in writing. Do you see an example there that demands a real-world analogy?
Even if you give a simple example of coin toss, the paragraph becomes easier for readers to understand.
If you are working for a technical domain, help users with some code snippets. Nothing works like a working example.
Building reliability in the docs is of utmost importance. If users are comfortable with the current style of docs, think twice before you make any drastic changes. Even if the changes are only to the writing style. Do you see the sample in there which shows this inconsistency in writing style? If users were already used to one style of writing, you are going to make them uncomfortable by introducing another style.
If you choose a cape to indicate a super hero, you might draw it like a skirt, confusing the writer. Better you keep all the visual stamps distinct from each other.
Exercise: In the given example sheet, is there a place where you feel the writer can do a better job at empowering the user?
All the stamps we saw so far were samples. You can identify the recurring issues in the writer’s (or your own) writing and come up with your own stamps. You can also create stamps for good writing designs. Even a simple Thumbs up will do a great job in boosting the writer’s morale. Such positive stamps will indicate the areas in which the writer is getting better. You can also associate the good and bad stamps with some positive and negative marks – making the system measurable with time.
How to create stamps? We will see a live demo on Adobe Acrobat. You can see if your reviewing tool supports the use of custom stamps. If not, you can always come up with an alternative method. Being a short-term exercise, it might not be too inconvenient to do it the old way – Drawing stamps on a printed draft.
Let us summarize our learning. Explain separately for writers as well as mentors.
Define the stamps. Bring the team on the same page. Define the time period. Define the goals.
Establish that going in a silo is as important as being collaborative. Writing, by nature, is a lonely activity. Technical writing, on the other hand, needs to be extremely collaborative.
If you are giving/receiving a lot of feedback, it is possible for the writer to feel intimidated. Assure them/yourself that bad writing is just the first step. Realize the importance of writing everyday, and acknowledge the benefits of this practice to keep up the motivation.
Make sure that the writer starts finding the process of writing enjoyable. With subtle nudges, make sure they realize the joy and take pride in what they do. Once you see them writing with joy and pride, your job is over. They’ve set off on the path to becoming a good writer by themselves!
Thanks for patiently listening and participating in this workshop today. Please do try this technique when you go back to work after this energizing conference. I would really love to understand how you are going through the process. Sharing our experiences will surely benefit us further. I would be glad to get connected with you socially, say on LinkedIn or Twitter. Thanks again to the organizers for having me, and to you all for tolerating me!
