Creative Traction Methodology - For Early Stage StartupsTommaso Di Bartolo
The document discusses the Creative Traction Methodology (CTM) for gaining traction for new products and ideas. CTM has three parts: 1) The Idea Release Life Cycle which emphasizes validating ideas before development and engaging communities early. 2) Ransack Tools which means leveraging new growth hacking strategies and tools. 3) Act Creatively which involves lateral thinking with no biases to attract niche audiences and validate assumptions through experimentation. The document provides examples and case studies for applying each part of CTM.
25 stats—13 positive, 12 negative—that reflect the marketing world, including content marketing, social media, email newsletters, analytics, blogging, digital video, and more.
Keep these stats in mind when crafting your marketing strategy.

This document summarizes several factors that can lead to interpersonal attraction according to social psychology research: physical appearance/beauty, personality, proximity, and similarity. Studies discussed found that people tend to see attractive, beautiful people as more desirable and competent. Additionally, having a warm, kind, or exciting personality is attractive to others. Proximity, or spending time near others, increases comfort levels and likelihood of attraction. Similarity in characteristics and interests between people also reduces conflicts. Reciprocated liking and gaining the approval of someone who was initially unimpressed can be especially rewarding.

This document discusses peer pressure and its effects on teenagers. Peer pressure is the influence of one's peers to change attitudes, values or behaviors to conform to group norms. Teenagers are easily influenced by peers because they want to fit in and find their identity. There are two types of peer pressure - positive pressure encourages good behaviors while negative pressure encourages risky or harmful behaviors. The document provides examples of each and discusses how teenagers can respond to negative peer pressure with confidence and good decision making.
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.

Both digital and traditional businesses are constantly evolving, and the need to move fast is a pervasive reality. Delivering what customers want and need goes beyond the creation of delivery channels. In fact, it relies on the company’s ability to produce, consume, organise, understand, curate, and distribute data.
In this presentation, Dan Aragao and Simon Hope provide a glimpse of the journey ThoughtWorks and REA are currently undergoing to create a truly data-centric, cutting-edge digital business.
The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on air pollution. The study found that lockdowns led to significant short-term reductions in nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter pollution globally as transportation and industrial activities declined substantially. However, the improvements in air quality were temporary and pollution levels rose back to pre-pandemic levels as restrictions eased and activity increased again.

Making Meaningful Maps: Seeing Geography through Cartographyreroth
Public lecture organized jointly by the Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography, Leipzig University, and the German Cartographic Society | November 15th, 2017. Abstract: Maps have gone viral: they are in our cars, on our phones, and across our news feeds. While the pervasiveness of maps is clear, has this popularity resulted in a tangible improvement to our collective geographic understanding? Is the world any better for the maps we make? In this presentation, I ask how we as cartographers, data scientists, and storytellers might bring more meaning to our work. I hang this discussion across three, multi‐month interactive mapping projects completed in the University of Wisconsin Cartography Lab that had complementary research and design elements. The projects covered very different datasets and contexts—climate change, globalization, and environment justice—but each afforded a deep engagement with domain experts and target users to puzzle through the design and delivery of a meaningful map product. Across these projects, my opinion on what mattered shifted away from the data, and even the map, to the people and places quantified by the data and represented in the map…to the geography. I conclude by brainstorming ways to bring more meaning to our map designs, helping our audience see the geography through our cartography to enable geographic thinking and promote global citizenship.

O documento discute como a psicologia e o inconsciente influenciam a experiência do usuário e o design. A mente humana é complexa e influenciada por padrões, repetições e experiências passadas das quais nem sempre temos consciência. Um bom design considera esses fatores para criar experiências positivas e sem atritos.
This document discusses audit risk assessment. It defines audit risk as the risk that an auditor gives an inappropriate opinion when financial statements are materially misstated. Audit risk has three components: inherent risk, control risk, and detection risk. The auditor assesses these risks to determine the nature, timing and extent of audit procedures. A key part of risk assessment is understanding the client's internal controls, including control environment, risk assessment, information and communication, control activities, and monitoring. The auditor documents their understanding of internal controls to help plan the audit and determine appropriate audit strategies.
ypes and providers are some of the most powerful abstractions within Puppet, and extending them to model resources outside the scope of simple types can make configuration management extraordinarily useful. Taking the step to extend Puppet's functionality beyond standard resources like users and files can be daunting, though, and getting started in Puppet's Ruby libraries is a different beast than the Puppet language. In this presentation we'll look at an illustrative example of how Puppet can be used to manage custom types in a sophisticated and extensible way, ultimately bridging the gap between Puppet types and resources that can be modeled as objects over RESTful interfaces. Using real module code as an example, we'll look at how combining the declarative nature of Puppet resources with any command or REST interface can make managing complicated systems easier (Elasticsearch being the illustrative example). Testing will also be covered to demonstrate how custom types and providers can offer even more code quality and assurance than basic Puppet manifests. Attendees will learn about how to write Puppet modules (including types and providers), how to use Puppet Ruby APIs, module testing, and Elasticsearch APIs.

Integration of Risk Assessment and Chemical Characterization (MD&M Minn. 2017)Russell Sloboda
The Toxicological Risk Assessment (TRA) is an important tool in the safety assessment of biomedical devices, providing a chemical-based approach which complements a traditional animal-based testing program. The need for TRA is growing and in some cases, may be considered as a means of circumventing animal testing in the safety evaluation of devices.
Based on results of the chemical characterization, the TRA provides context to the chemistry data and the leachable compounds identified therein, which includes compounds expected to be found and compounds that are unexpected. The objective of the chemical characterization study is to identify and quantify substances that may be released from the test article during clinical use and in practical terms, is comprised of incubations of the test article in various media, e.g., water, ethanol, or hexane, at specific temperatures and durations.
By considering the end use of the characterization data in the TRA during the design of the chemical characterization study it can be assured that the study provides the most useful and informative data. Considering the needs of the TRA can also help in determining appropriate detection limits for the analysis, which in turn can help in determining the amount of test material needed for the study. Further, coordinating with the risk assessment team during the design of characterization study helps ensure that the data are usable and presented in the most suitable manner. By working together, the TRA and chemical characterization study provide an understanding of the impact of potential exposures on the overall safety of a device.
As developers we write code everyday, only to frown at it a week after that. Why do we have such a hard time with code written by others and ourselves, this raging desire to rewrite everything we see? Writing code that survives the test of time and self judgment is a matter of clarity and simplicity. Let's talk about growing, learning and improving our code with calisthenics, readability and good design.

Risk management
Risk Management process groups
Plan Risk Management
Identify Risks
Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis
Perform Quantitative Risk Analysis
Plan Responses
Control Risks
The chance to design for 43 different languages and 200+ countries comes with the challenge of balancing a lot of information per pixel. Booking.com gets millions of users everyday with different needs and goals, and designers need to understand how to best approach them without bringing more complexity to the product. In this talk we will go through how Booking.com deals with that problem using design to best leverage Machine Learning with personas, user journeys and AI to build a personalized experience to our customers.
The difference between designing for everyone and designing for context is in the understanding of who your customers are, their intent with your product and what can we do to anticipate their needs without disrupting the experience. Data Science is a powerful tool to get to that goal, but without a well thought of design behind it the intended experience will probably not be fulfilled.
A robust risk assessment process is central to maintaining a strong Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance program. In this new Accenture presentation we explore how financial services firms can set-up an effective process. Visit our fraud and financial crime blog post for more on AML risk assessment program: http://bit.ly/2aPlQQ7
The document discusses problems with using risk matrices and heat maps for risk assessment. It notes that Tony Cox Jr., who has extensively studied risk matrices, found that there is no evidence they actually help reduce risks. Risk matrices can compress the range of risks and priorities them inconsistently. They also suffer from issues like arbitrary scales, cognitive biases, and lack of reference periods. The document recommends embracing uncertainty and using probabilistic approaches like Bayesian networks that can represent dependencies and quantify uncertainty in a principled way.
This summary provides information about three different prompts from the document:
1. The first prompt discusses synesthesia, a neurological condition where senses are perceived through multiple senses (e.g. seeing sounds, tasting colors).
2. The second asks the reader to nominate and describe the "championship" word that would emerge victorious from a battle between the "top coolest words."
3. The third prompt asks the reader to describe five of the worst sounds imaginable and five of the most beautiful sounds.
Society promotes 15 things that often lead to unhappiness and lack of fulfillment, such as following the majority instead of individual truth, financial dependence on employers, excessive work with no time to live, disrespecting elders without merit, stopping learning after school, going into debt, sacrificing for countries without cause, being easily offended, living in fear, letting the government control your life, hiding problems, obsessive consumerism, restricting yourself to stereotypes, basing self-worth on social media, and feeling the need to have life fully planned by age 20.

Writing A Descriptive Essay About A PersonHannah Davis
The passage provides an analysis of Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Cat's Cradle". It discusses how the novel revolves around a journalist investigating the creator of the atomic bomb. He travels to the island of San Lorenzo where he learns about the outlawed religion of Bokononism. The passage analyzes how Vonnegut is highly critical of religion in the novel, depicting it as a false form of human connection that allows people to avoid responsibility. It specifically discusses how Christianity is satirized through various character interactions and discussions in the text.
The document discusses how vision is important for organizations during difficult economic times. It provides meaning and direction when the focus is just on survival. Great leadership reminds people of the larger goals and vision to motivate them. It also discusses how two entrepreneurs launched a bacon-flavored product called Bacon Salt with no marketing budget by identifying fans of bacon on social networks. They gained over 37,000 fans which led to wider media coverage and success, showing that new products or ideas can spread through a small, passionate group within a larger community.
