The document discusses embracing ambiguity and uncertainty in projects. It advocates starting projects without predefined methodologies and leaving room for changing directions based on new discoveries. While clients prefer defined expectations and ROI, the document recommends being honest about ambiguity, communicating often, and committing to the work rather than deliverables. Embracing ambiguity can lead to better outcomes than rigidly sticking to early decisions.

The Force Behind Star Wars: Turning Design Ideas into RealityStephen Anderson
You’ve got an idea. Maybe it’s a new idea for a web application. Maybe it’s a new product idea you need to push through your organization. The question is: How do you turn an idea into reality?
To answer this question, we’ll look at the making of Star Wars. We’ll look behind the scenes at what it took to get George Lucas’s space fantasy from script to screen. From assembling the right team to navigating the Hollywood corporate studio environment to tapping into powerful universal patterns—this presentation suggests more than a dozen lessons UX designers (and developers!) can all learn from this adventure.
The Understanding Group's cofounders spoke on the following at IA Summit 2013
Are you struggling to carve out a place for information architecture in the world of acronym soup? In this talk, longtime IA Dan Klyn and his business partner Bob Royce explore the pros and cons of bucking the trend of “all encompassing UX” to focus our practice on IA.
Through stories and case studies we’ll explore:
-How the lens of IA helps us solve problems beyond UX and collaborate readily with other non-UX disciplines.
-Our experience delivering services both directly to clients and through agencies.
-How we explain IA to people outside our industry and work to justify a larger investment in IA.
-How we go beyond information retrieval and navigation to include the concepts of meaning and place-making in our work.
Since all of the above was accomplished through much trial and error, there will also be plenty of discussion about the failures we’ve encountered along the way.
It’s easy to solve the wrong problems. Good design relentlessly questions assumptions and reframes the problem to be solved. We know this, and yet, HOW to actually reframe a problem is missing from our conversations.
In this session, Stephen P. Anderson will share tips that have helped him cut through the noise of requests and requirements, to focus on the real problem(s) to be solved. Specifically, you’ll pick up ways to see a problem from different perspectives, ways to ask why, how to draw upon seemingly unrelated experiences, how to separate real from perceived constraints, and most importantly, ways to keep yourself in check, so as not to solve the wrong problem (or if you do, you do so intentionally, for a strategic purpose!).
Whether you’re designing strategies or screens, you’re sure to pick up a few new mental hacks that you’ll no doubt use on a daily basis.
The Architecture of Understanding (World IA Day Chicago Keynote)Stephen Anderson
Keynote for World IA Day, answering the question "When, Where and How does Understanding occur?" Specifically, this talk discussed (1) interactions (and embodiement) (2) how new technology is changing the "information environments" we design for, and (3) a bit about perceptions and cognition.
What Board Games can Teach Us about Designing ExperiencesStephen Anderson
There’s a reason so many board gamers show up UX events. The same skills that make us great information wranglers are the same things that make board games like Catan, Pandemic and yes, even Exploding Kittens so appealing! It should come as no surprise that we’ve seen prominent UX leaders cross over into board game design (Matt Leacock, Dirk Knemeyer).
If we scratch beneath the surface, there’s a set of shared skills (and struggles) common to these different professions. Specifically: the spatial arrangement of information, visual encoding of information, creating designed spaces, a systems view, playtesting / user testing, competing tensions, triggering emotional responses, and many more.
Okay, so what? Sure, it’s kind of neat that we have so much in common. But how might this change what I do at $largecompany? Here’s the honest truth: The game design profession is just a little bit farther down the road than us, and we have a lot to learn from this group if we can look past the superficial differences. We talk about designing for emotions, but let’s face it, game designers are actually winning at this. Processes? We talk about lean and agile, but game designers have mastered playtesting (and the design to playtest ratio should make us embarrassed at how little we actually iterate with users). And there’s plenty more. I’m confident that if we can look our our own profession through the lens of game design, we’ll see plenty of glaring opportunities for improvement, and a few tricks we might pick up, as well.
Dating Skills For Engineers ( 2013 Version)iain.verigin
I begin by discussing Seth Godin's "Be Remarkable". Then I focus on four skills – Listening (Marshal Goldsmith), Communicating (Heath Brothers), Helping (Edgar Schein), and Don’t Be An Asshole (Robert Sutton). In recent years this lecture has earned a fun nickname Dating Skills for Engineers.
Entrepreneurship Skills - Dating Skills For Engineers (2015 version)iain.verigin
I begin with "What Does A Project Look and Feel LIke?"
Then I focus on four fundamental personal skills of entrepreneurship – Communicating (Heath Brothers), Listening (Marshal Goldsmith), Helping (Edgar Schein), and Don’t Be An Asshole (Robert Sutton). I also add in the Growth Mindset (Carol Dweck) as part of Don’t Be An Asshole.
I used to call this talk “Entrepreneurship Fundamental Skills” and the nickname that emerged was “Dating Skills For Engineers”.

Agile Starts With You: Personal Agility and Subversive Scrum
"You see, to do that you must start with the people – instead of jumping right into the process. You won’t be able to create an agile process, much less a culture, until you’ve created agile people." – Peter Saddington
Agile and Scrum typically evoke thoughts about software development processes, ceremonies, and tools, but at the heart of any successful Agile team are people who embody the values and principles.
As with accountability, agility begins with you, because you are the only thing that is within your domain of control. This presentation reflects on the mindset, strategies, and techniques to be personally agile, and the behaviors you can demonstrate that will infect others, and create trusting, high-performing teams.

Similar to Schrödinger's IA: Learning to Love Ambiguity (20)
Presented at CS Forum 2016 in Melbourne, Australia.
We can study detailed web analytics, review the pretty demographics charts given to us by Marketing, and devise colourful personas to guide our work, but until we’ve actually spoken to our customers – preferably face-to-face – our understanding of their needs remains limited.
It’s not just interaction designers, user experience practitioners, and marketers who can benefit from conducting customer interviews. Content strategists and content creators too can gain an enormous amount from asking customers the right questions and knowing how to interpret their answers.
In this session we’ll explore how we can use interviews to get an understanding of the journey that our customers take with us, and how our content can be shaped by their emotional and mental state at each point along the way.
From analysis to synthesis: tools and techniques for discovery workKerry-Anne Gilowey
Presented at Confab Intensive 2016 in Seattle, Washington.
When you begin work on a new project, there are so many unknowns, so many moving parts to get your head around, so many questions you haven't even thought to ask yet, that it can be hard to know where to start.
In this workshop, we'll explore a range of discovery techniques, from stakeholder and user interviews to discovery workshops, content analysis, and more. We'll also look at what comes after you've made reams of rough notes, and just before you create deliverables: the part where you start to recognize patterns, clarify ambiguities, and put the pieces together.

I'll be giving this talk again at CS Forum in Melbourne in October 2016 (http://csforum2016.com/). I hope to see you there! If you'd like me to give this talk – or any other – at your conference or organisation, please get in touch.

When you begin work on a new project, there are so many unknowns, so many moving parts to get your head around, so many questions you haven’t even thought to ask yet, that it can be hard to know where to start.
This workshop gives participants:
– A toolbox full of discovery techniques and tips, as well as recommendations for further learning.
– Clarity about which tools to use when and for what purpose, and a basic discovery process that they can use as a starting point when planning out a new project or initiative, or writing a proposal for a new client.
– An opportunity to try their hand at several of these techniques.
I've given this workshop a few times in the USA, and I've had great feedback from participants. I'd love to give it again at your conference or organisation. Let's talk!

It’s all too easy for organisations to get caught up in the shinier, glitzier realms of the content world – viral campaigns, social media outreach, custom publishing, slick video production, and more. So many ideas! So many opportunities!
But what about the basics? How about a strategic approach that focuses on getting the fundamentals right before embarking on complex creative campaigns?
Positioning content strategy and planning solely as a marketing function can lead to misplaced priorities, allowing certain fundamentals to slip through the cracks and cause trouble later on. The pressure on the customer support team keeps rising, and internal workflow breaks down… and no-one can quite figure out why.
In this session we consider what we might be neglecting in our rush to be exciting and trendy. We explore the content essentials, and look at how an organisation can manage and plan for them.
I presented this as a webinar for Data Conversion Laboratory on 10 December 2014 (http://www.dclab.com/webinars/back-to-basics-getting-the-content-essentials-right).
Please get in touch if you'd like me to give this or a similar talk in-house at your organisation.
The People Puzzle: Making the Pieces Fit – MIMA Summit 2014Kerry-Anne Gilowey
Knowledge workers bring far more than just their intellectual skills to a project. They bring their fears, their prejudices, their motivations, their emotional history, and their personalities to the table too. At kick-off meetings we openly discuss our roles and skill sets, but these other intangible things are never exposed.
Yet the way that stakeholders and team members interact with one another is almost certain to have a greater impact on the success of your project than which technology platform you choose or what goes into your style guide.
I gave this talk at MIMA Summit 2014 in Minneapolis.
The Elephant and the Dassie: A Tale of Evolution and KinshipKerry-Anne Gilowey
The evolution of our work and environment has produced new relationships between disciplines, within digital teams, across organisational verticals, in our local design and tech community, and across borders. I gave this talk as the keynote presentation at the UX Craft conference in Cape Town, South Africa on 4 October 2014.
The way that content creation has traditionally been positioned in organisations – usually as copywriting, and under the guardianship of the marketing team – has led to all kinds of important things slipping through the cracks and causing UX havoc later on.
Inscrutable error messages, badly truncated headlines, and conflicting factual information pop up like ghouls and ghosties on a House of Horror ride, and upset our users when least expected.
Putting Together the People Puzzle – Content Strategy Summit 2014Kerry-Anne Gilowey

They bring their fears, their prejudices, their motivations, their emotional history, and their personalities to the table too. At kick-off meetings we openly discuss our roles and skill sets, but these other intangible things are never exposed.
Context and empathy are two words that have become increasingly ubiquitous – and rightly so. But how much do you truly understand about those from distant lands? In this presentation I spoke about what it’s really like to live in South Africa and suggested how place might provide a context to influence our thinking and work.
Talk to the People: Customer Interviews for Content StrategistsKerry-Anne Gilowey
I gave this talk at Confab London in March 2013, and again at the New York City Content Strategy Meetup in April 2013.
We can pore over detailed web analytics, review demographic charts, and devise colourful personas to guide our work, but until we’ve actually spoken to our customers—preferably face-to-face—we won’t truly understand their needs.
Interviewing customers requires a balance of empathy and objectivity. We need to learn how to ask the right questions, interpret the answers, and consequently create more effective content.
I gave this talk at the very first Content Strategy Cape Town Meetup, in September 2010. It was meant as a pretty broad overview and history of the discipline of content strategy.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
