Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 PDU Category C Free
Presented by : O’Reilly

This webinar is based on  Jim Kalbach’s newest book Mapping Experiences: A Guide to Creating Value through Journeys, Blueprints, and Diagrams

Understanding your customer’s experience is the first step in creating solutions that provide value.

The use of systematic, visual representations can expose previously unseen opportunities for growth.

Called experience maps (among other related terms), these diagrams provides valuable business insight.

However, many people associate mapping experience with heavy upfront research. This need not be the case at all. In fact, diagrams can be co-created by team members in a matter of days.

Once complete, experience maps provide a big picture that you can align subsequent activities to, including user story mapping, design sprints, content planning, and more.

In this webcast you will learn:

  • The value of experience mapping and how you get results quick.
  • The key factors of a solid mapping effort, which still apply even in rapid creation situations.

Presenter:  Jim Kalbach (LinkedIn profile, O’Reilly bio, @jimkalbach)is a noted author, Designing Web Navigation,  & Mapping Experiences; an in-demand speaker; an instructor in user experience design, information architecture & strategy; Jim is the Head of Customer Success with MURAL.  He has also worked with large companies, such as Audi, SONY, Elsevier Science, Lexis Nexis, Citrix, and eBay, among others.

  2. Explore SharePoint can do with “no-code” solutions such as SharePoint Designer, InfoPath, and workflows.
  3. Discuss when custom code is needed and when to use Visual Studio.
  4. Discuss the need to use Visio diagrams/charts to map business processes.

Useable Data Is INFORMATION

In a world where the words “Big Data” are used almost every day, nearly every team in both large and small companies is tasked with quantifying subjective data to draw objective conclusions.

This has been a hot trend in the world of Talent Acquisition, and can be a challenging endeavor in organizations when teams are already being driven to achieve difficult goals with little to no understanding from managers.

This discussion is focused on the following:

  1. What data should you obtain
  2. How do you get it (in big or small companies)
  3. Why you should get it
  4. How to influence that data to make decisions
