Karlyn Borysenko and I discuss the elements of putting together an impactful presentation and how to submit them to conferences.
Originally presented at Penn State Web - updated and reshared at HighEdWeb 2016 in Memphis Tennessee.
The document discusses employer brand thinking from an agency perspective. It emphasizes that the labor market is highly competitive and HR communication must be a strategic partner, not just tactical. Employer brand thinking involves managing a total employer identity through consistent employer stories and an integrated employer marketing mix across internal and external channels. An employer brand is alive and must be constantly measured and steered to have lasting impact on both current and prospective employees. It requires organization-wide coordination to be effective.
This document discusses better collaboration between agencies and clients. It notes that historically, agencies did not provide clients with a full understanding of the creative process or ideas, and clients did not know how to properly evaluate work. It advocates that agencies start presentations with the agreed upon creative brief to provide necessary context before presenting ideas. Agencies should tell a story that bridges the brief to the final idea, giving clients a complete understanding. The document also provides models for properly evaluating ideas and ensuring collaborative discussions between agencies and clients.

Pitching Ideas: How to sell your ideas to othersJeroen van Geel
Learn how to convince others of your UX ideas by understanding them.
We are good in designing usable and engaging products and services. We understand the user's needs and have a toolkit with dozens of deliverables. But for some reason it remains difficult to sell an idea or concept to team members, managers or clients. After this session that problem will be solved!
Selling your ideas and convincing others is one of the most undervalued assets in our field. This ranges from convincing a colleague to use a certain design pattern to selling research to your boss and convincing a client to go for your concept. You can come up with the best ideas in the world, but if it is presented in the wrong way these ideas will die a lonely dead. This is sad, because everybody can learn how to bring a message across. The main thing is that you know what to pay attention to.
In this session I will take you on a journey through the world of presenting ideas. We will move through the heads of clients and your colleagues, learn what their thoughts and needs are. We will move to the core of your idea and into the world of psychology.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.

The concept of a “brand” is no longer taboo at B2B companies. In fact, strong B2B brands outperform weaker ones by as much as 20%, according to recent research by McKinsey. Yet it’s not easy for ROI-obsessed marketers to justify spending money on their brand, which can be difficult to track. As a result, your brand is too often left either underfunded or on the back-burner altogether.
We’re going to help you solve this. In this presentation you’ll learn:
- How your brand can boost demand generation and other key performance indicators
- The elements of a B2B brand and how those are different from traditional consumer branding
- How to elevate your brand through B2B marketing channels and brand advocates
- Metrics to track the impact of your brand
The document discusses prototyping and provides examples of different types of prototypes including paper prototypes, digital prototypes, storyboards, role plays, and space prototypes. It explains that prototyping is used to make ideas tangible and test reactions from users in order to gain insights. Prototypes should be iterated on and fail early to push ideas further and save time and money. Both low and high fidelity prototypes are mentioned as ways to test ideas at different stages of the design process.

Dispatches From The New Economy: The Five Faces Of The On-Demand EconomyIntuit Inc.
From people determined to be their own boss, to those embracing the flexibility to do something they love, to workers finding a replacement for a traditional job – people working in the on-demand economy are just about as diverse as the labor market itself. A new report from Intuit Inc. and Emergent Research shows that there are a broad range of motivations – and differing levels of satisfaction – among five distinct groups of on-demand workers:
The Business Builders – primarily driven by the desire to be their own boss. They represent 22 percent of on-demand workers.
The Career Freelancers – happily building a career through independent work. They represent 20 percent of on-demand workers.
The Side Giggers – looking to find financial stability by supplementing existing income. They represent 26 percent of on-demand workers.
The Passionistas – looking for the flexibility to do something they love. They represent 18 percent of on-demand workers.
The Substituters – replacing a traditional job that is no longer available. They represent 14 percent of on-demand workers.
Methodology
A total of 4,622 workers who find work opportunities via the platforms provided by the participating partner companies completed an online survey between September 11 and October 1, 2015. The results were weighted to reflect the proportion of workers in each of the following segments: Drivers/Delivery, Online Talent Marketplaces and Field Service/Onsite Talent. The weights were developed using earlier survey work that sized the on-demand economy. The largest weighted share of on-demand worker respondents from any single company is 16%, with most partner companies providing less than 10% of the respondents.

The document discusses designing teams and processes to adapt to changing needs. It recommends structuring teams so members can work within their competencies and across projects fluidly with clear roles and expectations. The design process should support the team and their work, and be flexible enough to change with team, organization, and project needs. An effective team culture builds an environment where members feel free to be themselves, voice opinions, and feel supported.

Learn BEM fundamentals as fast as possible. What is BEM (Block, element, modifier), BEM syntax, how it works with a real example, etc.
This document provides tips for landing a first customer. It advises starting by offering potential customers a simple, free piece of help related to the problem being solved rather than immediately introducing the product or service. This builds trust by showing understanding of their complex needs. The next step is to listen to learn about their situation and solutions tried before leveling with them about options considered. The goal is for the customer and business to collaboratively develop a solution, with the business explaining what their product can and cannot do. Introducing the product fully only after understanding the customer's needs and determining if trust has been built.

The document discusses iterative design and provides examples of logo design projects. It describes iterative design as a step-by-step process that allows designers to start with initial ideas and refine them over multiple rounds of feedback and revisions. Examples show early sketches and concepts for two logo design projects that were refined over several iterations, receiving feedback at each stage from clients and other designers until a final design was selected. The process is described as reducing pressure to find a perfect solution immediately while allowing ideas to develop through iteration.
