When communicating during times of crisis, do you consider all of the tools in your tool box? The value of social media during a crisis is dramatically increasing. When rolling out your crisis communication plan however, consider all of the tools in your box and which tool is the right fit for all of your audiences. "think like a _______ victim".

The document discusses the future of internet automotive advertising. It notes that in 1999, analysts predicted car buyers would start purchasing vehicles entirely online through a "direct model," bypassing dealerships. However, the transition has been gradual. While the internet now heavily influences research and many purchases, people still prefer buying from people in person. Dealerships remain important but their role is changing. The document examines how the internet impacts different stages of car shopping and what information sources buyers find most helpful at each stage.
The document discusses several issues related to assessing self-driving car (SDC/AV) technology. It begins by defining terms like SDC and autonomous vehicle. It then discusses reasons for SDCs like safety and reduced costs from accidents. However, it notes traffic deaths are already declining. It also estimates bugs in SDC software code, with a potential 1250 lethal bugs. It raises issues like testing limitations, driver skill degradation during handoffs, and how passengerless miles bias safety statistics. Overall, the document outlines both benefits and risks of the technology from various perspectives to inform a comprehensive assessment.
This document summarizes key travel industry trends from various sources. International travel is growing rapidly, especially in emerging markets like Asia. Visa regulations are becoming more lenient which will boost tourism. Mobile technology is also transforming the travel experience through maps, payments, airport guides and more. Business travel is an important segment driven by industries like finance and advertising, with travelers visiting cities like Florence and countries like Switzerland. New types of independent and niche travelers are emerging in Asia as populations age and seek new experiences.
Autonomous vehicles have the potential to significantly reduce car accidents, save lives, and impact society in major ways. They are estimated to eliminate over 90% of crashes caused by human error. While fully self-driving vehicles are still being developed and tested, within the next decade autonomous features are projected to be widespread, changing how people and goods are transported. Some predictions include mobility becoming a service, tech companies gaining more influence over transportation, and new uses for vehicles' interior spaces like work and entertainment as travel time is better utilized.
Autonomous vehicles have the potential to significantly impact lifestyle, business, and society by reducing accidents, saving lives, lowering costs and increasing productivity. Within a few years, vehicles capable of conditional automation (Level 3) and high automation (Level 4) will be available, with fully autonomous vehicles (Level 5) expected by the mid-2020s. Major disruptions will include new models for transportation as a service, tech companies gaining dominance, and transformative effects on real estate and urban infrastructure as personal vehicle ownership declines.

Being Driven
SxSW is a two week festival (not a conference) where the best of tech, film, and music collide. It's the "Spring Break for Geeks," the thing you're supposed to get lost in, the way-less-serious and way-more-fun version of TED. It's the only place where you'd find all of these people in a two-week span:
- Vice President Joe Biden,
- DJ/Producer Chainsmokers,
- Billionaire investor Mark Cuban,
- Elon Musk's brother Kimble Musk
- Producer Rick Ross
- CTO of Pixar Steve May,
- Actor Seth Rogan
Can't wait for next year.
Session 1/8. Introduction. The Strategic Content Alliance, JISC sponsored workshops on Maximising Online Resource Effectiveness, held on different occasions throughout 2010 and delivered by Netskills.
The document discusses how to maximize the effectiveness of online resources. It presents a mind map with the central concept being optimizing a website. The mind map branches out to discuss how a website, web applications, data repositories, social media, online references and RSS feeds can be used to get real value from the internet and improve a business. It asks what the vision is for effectively using online resources and what the reader's business is.
The document analyzes competition in the US airline industry using Porter's Five Forces model. It determines that the industry is an oligopoly, with four major carriers (Delta, Southwest, United, American) dominating the market. Airlines compete on pricing, using dynamic pricing strategies like yield management to adjust prices based on demand, time of booking, and other factors. This allows airlines to practice forms of price discrimination. While competition is present, barriers to entry are high for new airlines due to industry regulations, scale requirements, and brand dominance of the major carriers.
The document provides instructions for creating an account on HelpWriting.net in order to request paper writing help. It outlines a 5-step process: 1) Create an account with a password and email. 2) Complete a 10-minute order form providing instructions, sources, and deadline. 3) Review bids from writers and choose one based on qualifications. 4) Review the completed paper and authorize payment if satisfied. 5) Request revisions to ensure satisfaction, and the company offers refunds for plagiarized work.

Triumph digital media presentation 14092011-2NigelG
This document provides recommendations for Triumph Motorcycles to harness digital media to drive sales and brand awareness. It recommends (1) using paid search advertising and retargeting, (2) partnering with print publishers for cross-media promotions, and (3) initiating social media listening to understand brand perceptions. The goal is to engage customers across online and offline touchpoints during their research and purchasing process.
Police officers experience significant job-related stress, which can impact their health. As a police commander, addressing officers' stress concerns is an important duty. The first steps are to meet with officers one-on-one to evaluate the validity and sincerity of their reported stressors, which often come from within the department. It is then crucial to implement effective practices to reduce stress and validate the officers' experiences.
This document discusses strategic roadmapping from an outside-in perspective. It summarizes the key points from books and articles advocating an outside-in focus on customers and trends, rather than an inside-out focus on internal resources and costs. The document then provides an overview of the strategic roadmapping process, from conducting an environmental assessment and identifying trends to prioritizing trends, developing future scenarios, and defining strategic problems to solve. Examples of roadmapping outputs like swimlanes, trends, and an automotive industry assessment are also included. The document concludes by introducing the speakers, Irene Petrick and Russ Martinelli, experts in strategic roadmapping.
Better managing your loyalty program - Improving your member experience: the ...Sergio Mello
This document summarizes a presentation on using social media for airline loyalty programs. It discusses how frequent flyer programs currently work, the opportunities and risks of social media, and recommendations. FFPs aim to improve retention through rewards but can foster unhealthy competition. Social media allows deeper customer segmentation and real-time marketing, but also uncontrolled conversations. The presentation advises airlines to use social media strategically, innovate with new data sources, and have a sustainable alternative plan.
The document discusses three potential major disruptions to the transportation industry over the coming years:
1) Same-day delivery becoming more widespread in the near future, though it will likely remain a niche offering. Transportation companies should focus on optimizing next-day delivery instead.
2) 3D printing advancing to the point where it could disrupt supply chains by enabling more localized manufacturing. Air cargo carriers may be most impacted and should assess exposure.
3) Autonomous commercial vehicles becoming technologically feasible in the long run, with the potential for major cost savings in trucking. While legal and social hurdles remain, transportation firms should start evaluating impacts.
Analysts expect self-driving cars to mature rapidly in the next decade.
As potential self-driving forces form alliances, investor bets have become simpler.
Game Changers - Parking in 2025 & Beyond - Mary Smith, Walker Parking - IPI 2013Green Parking Council
This document discusses how parking and transportation are changing and will continue to change in the future. Key points include:
- Demographic shifts and preferences of millennials are reducing car ownership and dependence, especially in urban areas.
- Emerging technologies like electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, car sharing services, and personal air vehicles will disrupt current models of private car ownership and parking within the next 10-20 years.
- The availability of autonomous vehicles could significantly reduce the need for parking by allowing more efficient shared use of vehicles through subscription services.
An abridged version of my presentation in the documentation track at SDL Innovate San Francisco, June 2014. I argue that the principles of structure, purity, and intelligence -- long features of technical writing and documentation practices -- will be indispensable for the effective adoption of customer experience management (CXM or CEM) on a broad scale.
The Smart Car case study outlines a marketing campaign to increase Smart Car's market share in the US until 2012 when a new model is launched. The strategy targets affluent empty nesters living in cities as a secondary, fun vehicle. It aims to position the Smart Car as a symbol of confidence through a website, app, and experiential events. Smart Car drivers would promote the brand through digital and social media as mobile representatives.
How Should I Write An Introduction For A Compare And Contrast EssayJessica Deakin
Marx saw labor as the source of all value, but under capitalism, labor becomes a commodity that is bought and sold like any other commodity, resulting in workers feeling alienated from their labor and its products. This "estranged labor" causes humans to see themselves as commodities and see their own activity as an alien object they no longer control, leading them to feel disconnected from their true human nature.
This document provides examples of low-fidelity prototypes for usability testing, including a Palm Pilot prototype, a medical equipment prototype from IDEO, prototypes of a Polaroid camera from a 2011 MOMA exhibit, a physical device prototype made of cardboard, a kiosk prototype from NNgroup, and examples of hug-your-laptop video recordings and screen/face recordings using Quicktime for testing purposes. Citations and image sources are provided for each prototype example.

ABSTRACT: The top Sustainable Development Goals of United Nations, including poverty alleviation, literacy, and gender equality, are closely tied to the problem of exclusion from core economic, social, and cultural infrastructures. As a potential tool for sustainable development, technology has the responsibility to make these infrastructures more inclusive. However, to date, many of the world’s biggest technological advances have primarily benefited only a small fraction of the developed world. The goal of my research is to leverage ethnographic methods to understand the underserved populations in low-income regions, and design and develop appropriate technologies to bring sustainable positive change in their lives.

ABSTRACT: Seeing Beyond the Chart: How to cultivate critical thinking through visualization. Data, “the oil of the digital era”, has come to be the most valuable resource of our modern society. As a scientist, I find it exciting to see news outlets using more and more data graphics to communicate facts, stakeholders increasingly rely on data analytics to gain insight into our world and make informed decisions, and governments increasingly promote and engage in open data. In the meantime, it is also daunting to witness how destructive fake news, rumours and falsehoods can be to a general population poorly prepared to engage in evidence-informed reasoning.
In this talk, I will discuss one of the most important societal challenges of our times: visualization literacy, defined as the ability to understand, find, collect, interpret, and support arguments using visual representations of data. Through a sample of my recent research projects focusing on visualization creation, visual communication and visualization education, I will share my reflections on how we can cultivate an informed citizenry capable of critical thinking, reasoning, and knowledge-based decision making.

Practical eLearning Makeovers for EveryoneBianca Woods
Welcome to Practical eLearning Makeovers for Everyone. In this presentation, we’ll take a look at a bunch of easy-to-use visual design tips and tricks. And we’ll do this by using them to spruce up some eLearning screens that are in dire need of a new look.
3. What is Usability?
Definition: Usability
The effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction with which
users can achieve tasks in a particular environment of a
product.
High usability means a system is:
• easy to learn and remember
• efficient
• visually pleasing and fun to use
• quick to recover from errors

10. Bad Design
In 2016, Chrysler recalled 1.1 million Jeeps
and Fiats due to a poor gear shifter
design. Many people reported they had
thought they’d put their car into
park…when they hadn’t. This led to over
100 collisions related to rollaway cars,
and sadly, the death of actor Anton
Yelchin.
What made this design so faulty?
First of all, it’s difficult to tell at first
glance which gear the car is in (see image
below). In addition, there was barely any
visual or tactile feedback, other than a
few clicks, letting the user know whether
or not they’d put the car in park.
The car did issue auditory warnings if the
user exited without putting it in park, but
Chrysler suggests these warnings weren’t
effective.
At its worst, bad design prevents users
from doing the things they want to do. It
can even have fatal consequences.

16. Cost of Usability Errors
• Bush won by 537 of 5.8 million votes
• 19,120 ballots registered 2 votes,
20,000 disqualified ballots
• Buchanan 5x > votes in Palm Beach
• Law suit claimed:
“Ballots were deceptive, misleading,
and confusing.”
• Results delayed 37 days! Nov 7 - Dec 13
20. War on Terror Pricetag
“Almost seventeen years ago, there was one [War on Terror]; now, the count is
76 and rising. Meanwhile, great cities have been turned into rubble; tens of
millions of human beings have been displaced from their homes; refugees by the
millions continue to cross borders, unsettling ever more lands …
American Special Operations forces were deployed to 149 countries in 2017
alone and the U.S. has so many troops on so many bases in so many places on
Earth that the Pentagon can’t even account for the whereabouts of 44,000 of
them…
In a separate study, released in November, the Costs of War Project estimated
that the price tag on the war on terror (with some future expenses included)
had already reached an astronomical $5.6 trillion. Only recently, however,
President Trump, now escalating those conflicts, tweeted an even more
staggering figure: “After having foolishly spent $7 trillion in the Middle East, it is
time to start rebuilding our country!” … (“Future interest payments on
borrowing for the wars will likely add more than $7.9 trillion to the national
debt” by mid-century.)”
