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.
Building an enduring, multi-billion dollar consumer technology company is hard. As an investor, knowing which startups have the potential to be massive and long-lasting is also hard. From both perspectives, identifying companies with this potential is a combination of “art” and “science” — the art is understanding how products work, and the science is knowing how to measure it. At the earliest stages of a company, it comes down to understanding how a product is built to maximize and leverage user engagement.
In this presentation, Sarah Tavel shares her "Hierarchy of Engagement" framework she uses to evaluate non-transactional consumer companies she is looking to invest in.
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.

This is the first SlideShare adaption of Timothy E. Johansson's 100 Growth Hacks in 100 Days. The growth hacks that's included in the slide are 1 to 10. Timothy is the front-end developer at UserApp (www.userapp.io).
Here at Table19, we believe that great work is only possible when clients and their agencies work together as a team. This is a presentation written by our Executive Creative Director Graham Wall, who on his first day in this industry heard the senior team he was shadowing say something he couldn’t understand: that the client had bought the wrong idea.
This set in motion a desire to understand how and why this had happened, and make sure it never happened again. This presentation details Graham’s learnings and philosophies, and shows how agencies and clients can create better work together.

Data visualization & Story Telling with DataDr Nisha Arora
Storytelling with data using the appropriate visualization is a skill that is well sought-after for data-driven decision making and it spans many industries and roles (technical/non-technical).
In this presentation, we will briefly discuss the importance of understanding the context, selecting the right visuals, key points for effectively using those for storytelling, design dos, and don’ts, etc.
Data visualization has become increasingly more important and sits at the center of how people learn about and experience the world. We process information about politics, business insights and every day decisions through “visual soundbites”. As data journalists, we have incredible power to both positively influence as well as misguide conversations with the choices that we make when presenting graphical results.
In this presentation, we will share some of the best practices that help deliver stories that matter and avoid creating those that mislead.

Strategy 102 Research & Insights (Strategic Planners' Workshop- 4As/ 95%Academy)Joseph de Leon
To a normal person, research is just data. But to a skilled planner, it tells a story that reveals a powerful, actionable insight. This talk explains the difference between an observation and an insight, and guides planners to realize the importance of using both the left and right hemispheres of their brains to make complicated things simple.
This is an enhanced version of a talk given during the Strategic Planners Workout- a training conducted by the 95% Academy on behalf of the 4As.
This is a presentation I gave on Data Visualization at a General Assembly event in Singapore, on January 22, 2016. The presso provides a brief history of dataviz as well as examples of common chart and visualization formatting mistakes that you should never make.

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

1. DATA + DESIGN
where math and art collide
Trina Chiasson, Infoactive | @trinachi | infoactive.co/data-design
2. This year, I did something new.
I worked with 80+ volunteer
contributors to write a
300-page ebook.
3.
4. How do you write an
open source ebook?
It started with a message…
5. Hi Trina! Stats dork from Chicago here…
Do you have any plans to include tutorials
for basic data cleaning and data selection
techniques for users who may not have
any statistics background?
— Dyanna Gregory
6. This is what most statistics textbooks look like.
Most designers say…
29. Don’t underestimate the
awesomeness of strangers
on the internet.*
* Especially strangers who volunteer to
write books about data in their free time.
30. In six months,
we wrote and released the
English version.
Data + Design is now being
translated in Chinese, Russian,
Spanish, and French.
31.
32.
33.
34. Is it true that
dataviz people
hate pie charts?
43. A table is nearly always better than a dumb pie chart;
the only worse design than a pie chart is several of them,
for then the viewer is asked to compare quantities located
in spatial disarray both within and between charts […]
Given their low density and failure to
order numbers along a visual dimension,
pie charts should never be used.
Edward Tufte, "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information”
64. Finding boundaries in color vs. shapes
