The Science of Story: How Brands Can Use Storytelling To Get More CustomersDigital Surgeons
Storytelling is not only an entertaining source for information, but a way to engage and humanize our messages that helps them stick. Our brains are wired for stories. Like a drug, we seek them out. Good stories create lasting emotional connections that persuade, educate, entertain, and convert consumers into brand loyalists.
Here’s another good reason to believe in the power of stories: You don't have a goddamn choice. We spend a third of our waking hours crafting stories, and the rest of the time consuming them. Our brains are always searching for stories. You need stories. You live your life around stories. Your life itself is a story. So, now find out how you can use them to better understand how brands and businesses can use storytelling to increase engagement and sales.

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.
We suddenly live in a strange and wonderful nexus of digital and physical. Touchscreens let us hold information in our hands, and we touch, stretch, crumple, drag, and flick data itself. Our sensor-packed phones even reach beyond the screen to interact directly with the world around us. While these digital interfaces are becoming physical, the physical world is becoming digital, too. Objects, places, and even our bodies are lighting up with with sensors and connectivity. We’re not just clicking links anymore; we’re creating physical interfaces to digital systems. This requires new perspective and technique for web and product designers. The good news: it’s all within your reach. With a rich trove of examples, Designing for Touch author Josh Clark explores the practical, meaningful design opportunities for the web’s newly physical interfaces.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like depression and anxiety.
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.

Each story type is explained and an example leader is given to illustrate how that type of story can be used and its impact. The document encourages leaders to incorporate purposeful storytelling in their communication.

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

Black Box Thinking - The Surprising Truth About SuccessMatthew Syed
In his new book Black Box Thinking, award winning journalist and best-selling author Matthew Syed shares the surprising truth about success (and why some people never learn from their mistakes).
Covering topics including marginal gains, closed loops, blame culture, the logic of failure and creating a growth culture, Matthew uses gripping case studies, exclusive interviews and really practical takeaways to explain how you can turn failure into success.
Whether developing a new product, honing a core skill or just trying to get a critical decision right, Black Box Thinkers aren't afraid to face up to mistakes. In fact, Black Box Thinkers see failure as the very best way to learn. Rather than denying their mistakes, blaming others or attempting to spin their way out of trouble, these institutions and individuals interrogate errors as part of their future strategy for success.
This is a visual preview of Black Box Thinking. You can pick up a copy of the book at www.mathewsyed.com/blackboxthinking

Houlihan Lokey: Valuation in the Delaware CourtsHoulihan Lokey
This document summarizes a panel discussion on valuation issues in Delaware courts. The panel discusses recent developments in valuation methodologies, appraisal proceedings, and fiduciary duty litigation where valuation is at issue. The key points are:
1) The Delaware courts, through appraisal cases, provide guidance on acceptable valuation methodologies such as discounted cash flow analysis and give preferences to certain inputs like using management projections.
2) Appraisal proceedings determine "fair value" owed to shareholders for their shares, excluding any value related to a merger. Fiduciary duty cases may also involve assessing fair value.
3) Recent cases have given more weight to third-party sales values as evidence of fair value when the sales process
Venture capitalists, especially those investing at the early stage, could be described as “relationship capitalists”. You’ll often hear how investors approach their commitments like a marriage, and that they think long and hard about with whom they want to go to bed. Avoid picturing that second part.
But the VC mystique can be inexplicable at times. Why do they send such curt emails? What the #%$! do they mean by “traction”? Are they even paying attention?!
Here are some things they might be thinking (but probably won’t flat-out say) during the courtship process, and how you can prepare, take ownership, and rock the pitch.
The new new competition - How digital platforms change competitive strategyPlatform Revolution
The document discusses how platform competition differs from traditional competition. Platform competition occurs at three levels: between platforms, platforms and their partners, and partners within a platform's ecosystem. Platforms win by owning their ecosystem, monitoring it for valuable resources, leveraging user data, acquiring companies built on their platform, monitoring adjacent areas, and having superior technological design. Some markets become "winner-take-all" where network effects drive users to a single dominant platform. Understanding platform competition is important for both platforms and participants in their ecosystems.
We’re Leaking, and Everything’s Fine: How and Why Companies Deliberately Leak...Ian McCarthy
Although the protection of secrets is often vital to the survival of organizations, at other times organizations can benefit by deliberately leaking secrets to outsiders. We explore how and why this is the case. We identify two dimensions of leaks: (1) whether the information in the leak is factual or concocted, and (2) whether leaks are conducted overtly or covertly. Using these two dimensions, we identify four types of leaks, which we term informing, dissembling, misdirecting, and provoking. We also provide a framework to help managers decide whether or not they should leak secrets.
If you are like many people, even the thought of delivering a speech in front of an audience will get your palms sweating. The fear of public speaking ranks high among the most common phobias, and for good reason: most of us approach the situation with the wrong mindset, which in turn makes us live out our worst fears in a public forum.
As Michael Parker notes in IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY: How to Sell Your Message When It Matters Most (A TarcherPerigee paperback; on sale January 2016), our fixation on the content of our words – and not the presentation of ourselves – is what brings us down. Once the Vice-Chairman of London’s Saatchi & Saatchi, and one of the world’s most experienced advertising pitch men, having made more than 1,000 pitches in his successful career, Parker has learned first-hand that an effective presentation, a job interview, or even a speech at a wedding hinges on our ability to portray ourselves as passionate, relatable, and collected. But, if we are focused on what we say, and not how we act, we will fail to persuade our audience.
Applied in the boardroom, at the pulpit, or even in conversation, these tenets will help you present better in any situation.
There is no point in drawing a distinction between the future of technology and the future of mobile. They are the same. In other words, technology is now outgrowing the tech industry.
- The gig economy as currently defined will not last long term, as tasks like ridesharing and delivery are likely to be automated. However, skilled professionals using platforms like Thumbtack to find clients will persist and proliferate.
- Technology is empowering skilled tradespeople by allowing them to connect directly with customers and run their businesses more efficiently without traditional employers. Skilled professionals are less reliant on college degrees and are building middle-class lifestyles through online skills marketplaces.

Culture Code: Creating a Company You LoveDharmesh Shah
The document discusses the importance of creating a strong culture for a startup company. It notes that while many startups don't focus on culture, leaving it to develop haphazardly, culture actually plays a crucial role in a company's success by determining the types of people it attracts and retains. The document provides tips for founders such as defining the company's mission, values, and vision of success to shape the emerging culture in a deliberate way rather than leaving it to chance. It emphasizes that culture will develop whether intentionally managed or not, so founders should focus on cultivating the type of culture they want for their growing business.

Buffer's Top 10 Learnings Growing to $10 Million ARRBuffer
1. Experiment with a weekly mastermind session between co-founders to discuss achievements, challenges, and provide feedback.
2. Early stage startups should avoid being distracted by quantitative data and focus on acquiring hundreds of customers before relying on A/B tests.
3. To learn from customers, ask questions about how they currently do tasks, what tools they use, what their ideal process would be, what they do before and after tasks, and if there are any other important questions.
EiR & Engineering Continuing Ed: Understanding the Web Site Feedback LoopLaunch Angels
This document discusses the importance of the feedback loop when building an MVP. It outlines the 5 Ws (What, Why, Who, Where, When) that founders should consider when analyzing feedback. The 5 Ws help determine goals, reasons for projects, appropriate users to collect feedback from, where users spend their time, and how much data is needed before making decisions. The document also recommends tools for the feedback loop like Google Analytics, Crazy Egg, Survey Monkey and human-to-human contact, and emphasizes continuously collecting data, validating the business model, and never stopping analysis.
Five Habits to Create Better Products FasterHiten Shah
This document outlines five habits that can help create better products faster: 1) Always start with customers by finding their critical problems and solving them better than others; 2) Continuously improve products through acquired habits that are regularly followed; 3) Think deeply about reducing steps and doing thorough research upfront; 4) Use data by seeking it out before taking action and having a single metric goal; 5) Focus on the right thing by having small, focused teams working on the main customer problem. The habits are supported by examples and recommendations for applying them in product development.
The document discusses strategies for building a great user experience and "WOW" product. It emphasizes keeping products and experiences simple, focusing on solving core user problems, being agile and iterative in development, and closely measuring key metrics to understand user behavior. Specific examples are provided of companies like Myntra that initially forced users to their mobile app but then had to backtrack and add a mobile website due to user resistance to being restricted to one channel. Overall, the presentation argues that prioritizing an excellent user experience driven by user research and feedback is key to long term product and business success.

5 things that still surprise me about Digital Marketing todayDave Chaffey
Dave Chaffey discusses 5 things that still surprise him about digital marketing in 2016. First, he is surprised that more businesses do not have an integrated digital strategy and still treat digital as a separate silo. Second, he is surprised that businesses do not take search marketing more seriously. Third, he notes the importance of mobile and why "mobile first" has become a mantra for digital strategies. Fourth, he discusses why marketing automation has not fulfilled its promise for many businesses. Finally, he expresses surprise that more agencies do not offer conversion rate optimization (CRO) services to help businesses improve their digital marketing results.

L'indice de performance des ports à conteneurs de l'année 2023SPATPortToamasina
Une évaluation comparable de la performance basée sur le temps d'escale des navires
L'objectif de l'ICPP est d'identifier les domaines d'amélioration qui peuvent en fin de compte bénéficier à toutes les parties concernées, des compagnies maritimes aux gouvernements nationaux en passant par les consommateurs. Il est conçu pour servir de point de référence aux principaux acteurs de l'économie mondiale, notamment les autorités et les opérateurs portuaires, les gouvernements nationaux, les organisations supranationales, les agences de développement, les divers intérêts maritimes et d'autres acteurs publics et privés du commerce, de la logistique et des services de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
Le développement de l'ICPP repose sur le temps total passé par les porte-conteneurs dans les ports, de la manière expliquée dans les sections suivantes du rapport, et comme dans les itérations précédentes de l'ICPP. Cette quatrième itération utilise des données pour l'année civile complète 2023. Elle poursuit le changement introduit l'année dernière en n'incluant que les ports qui ont eu un minimum de 24 escales valides au cours de la période de 12 mois de l'étude. Le nombre de ports inclus dans l'ICPP 2023 est de 405.
Comme dans les éditions précédentes de l'ICPP, la production du classement fait appel à deux approches méthodologiques différentes : une approche administrative, ou technique, une méthodologie pragmatique reflétant les connaissances et le jugement des experts ; et une approche statistique, utilisant l'analyse factorielle (AF), ou plus précisément la factorisation matricielle. L'utilisation de ces deux approches vise à garantir que le classement des performances des ports à conteneurs reflète le plus fidèlement possible les performances réelles des ports, tout en étant statistiquement robuste.

How masterminds work
• We take around 1-2 hours, preferably when it feels a bit less busy.
• We talk for 10 minutes each about our achievements; like “I shipped this
feature” or “I hit the gym 3 times this week”
• Then we spend 40 minutes each on challenges. We try to really dive in here
and not stay on the surface.
• We then add a section at the end where we share feedback for each other.

Most early stage startups won't have enough customers
to rely on quantitative data. You need to be acquiring
hundreds of customers every month (preferably
thousands) to have enough data to support A/B tests, etc.

customers behave and what
they need. In other words,

Tell me about how you do _________ today….
Do you use any [tools/products/apps/tricks] to help you get

it’s possible, just anything.
Last time you did ___________, what were you doing right before
you got started? Once you finished, what did you do afterward?
Is there anything else about _________ that I should have asked?

Hi everyone, it’s so great to be here, for the last few years that Jason Lemkin has put on SaaStr, I was always excited to be able to make it and attend it one day, that I could even talk here today is a real honor. I’ve learned so much from the sessions I’ve been to so far and I hope I can pass along just a few learnings to you too that helped us at Buffer.
For context, who has heard about Buffer before? Oh awesome, yeah, we’re a social media management tool that helps you connect and organize all your social media accounts, schedule posts, analyze them and collaborate with the team.
As a company we got started about 5 years ago, and we now have a team of 75 people spread all over the world completely remote over 5 continents and over 40 cities. We have over 50,000 paying customers and we’re doing around $8.8m in ARR, so not quite at $10m yet. We’re estimating to get there in March though!
I’m really excited to share some lessons today and they range across product, marketing, general tips to build a better business - so I hope there’s some really actionable insights for everyone in there that you can walk away with after today’s talk and experiment with!
The first lesson I want to share is about how important it’s been for us at Buffer, when my co-founder Joel introduced me to a weekly peer-to-peer mastermind format. The key thing I’ve learned here is that working on the relationship between Joel and me on top of the work we’re doing on the startup, is extremely rewarding and useful. When I talk to other founders about this, they tell me something that I’ve told myself before which is “we’re already spending so much time together as co-founders, we know everything!”. And I found this a quite easy trap to fall into. Since we’ve done this every week, I feel like we’ve solved so many more problems that we couldn’t have otherwise.
This is the exact format of how it works. We take about 1-2 hours and do it when we’re less busy. On a friday afternoon or Sunday evening can be great times. We talk for 10 minutes each on achievements first. As entrepreneurs we often don’t celebrate our achievements enough and that can have a huge negative downside in the long run of making us feel burned out. Taking just a bit of time to think what is going great, even though there’s so much more to do can be so valuable. We then take 40 minutes for each others challenges, where we really try to go as deep as possible. One tip here, avoid trying to solve each others problems, instead simply listening here has been one of the most powerful things for me to learn on this. The feedback section at the end is also extremely powerful to make sure things that bother you don’t build up.
This second lesson was really powerful for us too. We live in a time where data is all around us and there’s a lot of great advice out there to show us to how to make better use of data. I’ve however found that, especially early on with your startup I think this can be a huge waste of time.
I love this quote from one of our mentors Hiten Shah. And he’s a guy that sells analytics and data software. So if even he advocates that you don’t do that, I find that double encouraging. If you can replace some of your current focus on quantitative data and shift to qualitative data (Say a number of face to face discussions with your customers), I’d highly recommend it.
Learning to talk to customers and learning to do it well is something I’ve found is extremely difficult to do in practice. Despite the fact that so much has been written and said about customer development, I’ve learned first hand, why it’s still such a difficult thing to do well. it’s taken us a long time at Buffer to get to a good process and we found that It’s really tough to be disciplined with this stuff. Here’s a simple way to immediately learn massive amounts from your customers with just 5 simple questions.
They come from a book called “Lean Customer Development” by Cindy Alvarez and I can highly recommend getting it. There’s so much useful advice in the book, that goes beyond the 5 questions, which are also from her.
These are the 5 questions we use at Buffer on a daily basis to make sure we’re learning from customers. The real key here is that you won’t see any leading questions here. There’s now “Would you like it if?” or “Would you use this?” type of questions. That’s really important. The magic wand question is one of my favorite - everyone likes to be a magician sometimes. It can feel a bit out of place to ask that question sometimes, but I found it really gets your customers creativity really going.
At Buffer we’ve had some a big rollercoaster ride when it comes to data. We went from building in house tools, to using an event tracking software, to building in house tools, to using a third party analytics tool again today. And out of all that back and forth, the one thing we learned is to always at least store your data, even if you send it elsewhere. That can feel like a waste of effort, but it’s really not. We found that too often when we use analytics software, and we give them our data, we don’t think we’ll need it ourselves. And the truth is that no matter how good the software, it’ll never be a custom software that’s just for your product. and that means that there’ll be ways that you’ll want to look at your data that they can’t give you. And in our case, that stop you from making some very important decisions. So if you can, I’d always recommend saving your own data, even if it’s more work for engineers, this can really come back to bite you.
Making intelligent use of data has been one of the most difficult things for us at Buffer. We’ve switched tools often and our most recent transition to a tool called Looker currently feels like the most sustainable and long-term strategy we have for now. And I hope some of the lessons on that can be useful for you too.
This is another quite counter-intuitive point I’ve found from talking to young founders and thinking of our own learnings as well here. We sometimes feel that we want to use the “we’re just doing everything and we’ll see what sticks” strategy. Since you’re so small early on, I’ve found that that can be a huge distraction and at Buffer, we employed a single marketing strategy for the first year or so - which in our case was content marketing - and it’s been one of our best decisions looking back in order not to spread ourselves too thin.
If you’re looking to figure out that one channel that works for you, I’d recommend the “bullseye exercise”. It’s developed by Gabriel Weinberg, the founder of DuckDuckGo and his book Traction is an outstanding one. He creates three steps for you to go through to find the 1 marketing channel that works. First you write down every marketing channel that’s possible. Then you narrow it down to 3-4 channels where you run cheap and quick tests for now longer than a few weeks. And then you pick 1 single strategy that you double down on that you’ve found to work.
What you’re really looking for is early repeatability; you want to be able to repeat a process as many times as possible and see a reward from it, that’s the best way to build momentum early and quickly. This is really how you can lay sliver over sliver of small successes on top of each other, which will eventually create what we call the marketing fly wheel - which means that the sum of your individual efforts will be greater than each single one combined.
This has been a particularly important lesson for myself, because the way I operate is quite opposite from this. I hear some advice from someone and I’m hooked. I want to go ahead and do that thing immediately. One lesson I’ve learned is that this is really counter-productive to finding your own way and building an authentic business. Take any big decision, like if you should fundraise now and how much; if you should build that new product; if you should hire that person for that role. If you speak with someone that has one opinion. Try and immediately get someone else’s opinion where you know she might think about this quite differently.
This is one of the most obvious, yet most neglected things I see in saas startups - and also at Buffer, we feel like we can experiment with pricing a lot more still than we have been doing in the past. And that’s experimenting with your pricing. We’re often so zoomed into our day to day work that we can easily forgot how much value we’re adding to the products we’re building with the new features we’re rolling out. On top of that, we found that pricing changes often start with a huge barrier in our heads. We think it’ll cause backlash, or that all of a sudden no one will pay us anymore. We just have this mental barrier often when it comes to pricing. Yet, in our experiment we haven’t quite found this to be the case.
Here’s some real data on the pricing changes we’ve made at Buffer. One in particular was when we changed from $5 to $10 per month on our cheapest plan, we had a 0 change in conversion rate. We literally doubled our revenue from one day to the next.
As a note of caution, we usually like to grandfather all existing customers, so that’s important to keep in mind here.
There’s a very strange phenomenon going on in the startup world and I discussed this with Hiten Shah once, I think he even had a special name for it. It’s like a law that goes “Startups use the lean startup methodology once, then never again”. I’m not quite sure why that is, maybe because we think once we follow it once, we then have all the knowledge about what to build in our heads. At Buffer we learned the hard way that we don’t know it. After Joel successfully used the lean startup methodology to launch Buffer, we then went on to build a number of features without talking with our customers about it or validating it in any meaningful way. That created a lot of waste.
And here’s how we got our lean startup mojo back. When we built a new product at Buffer, geared towards bigger businesses, which we called Buffer for Business, we were super disciplined about it again. It’s still a bit embarrassing to think back to how we did it - this was our first pricing page of that product - it was literally a wufoo page where people selected a plan, gave us their email and we would then by hand start a trial and get them setup. We went back to interviewing customers, building MVPs and so on. And Buffer for Business is now doing 45% of Buffer’s total revenue.
Since then, we really institutionalized the lean startup methodology at Buffer - we have 4 people full-time doing customer development. We create a process for anything we’re building that would include the following. A hypothesis for the feature that could be invalidated. A customer development phase before building anything. A clickable prototype to get feedback even after we feel something is validated. And a roll-out of a working version that embarrasses us slightly. I think this is a really useful to checklist to have in place - if you can check all these things off when building your next feature or product, I think you’ll be in a much better place.
At Buffer we had 4 serious offers over the last 5 years and every one of them was not easy to work through. The one lesson I want to share around when you consider an offer is to make a list of the experiences you’re possibly leaving on the table if you’re selling your company. We often think about how much money we could make now with selling, versus how much money we might make in the future. But I think that’s sometimes not the most useful - thinking about personal growth in both scenarios can be oftentimes a better indicator.
These are some of the things we’d miss out on learning, things like how to let someone go, how to acquire another company. At Buffer, we often talk about wanting to be a person of value, where we can offer advice to others and be useful, that’s often only possible if you’ve had a lot of these experiences. So this exercise can help a lot with that.
This quote from one our investors also really puts this into perspective I think and if you take that angle, you can sometimes come up with some really interesting insights about whether it’s the right time to sell or not.
