Iskra Velichkova ist Head of Brand bei Kleinanzeigen.Mit Olli & Martin spricht sie über Transformation durch pragmatische Kooperation und kundenzentrierte UX.Unter ihrer Führung vollzog sich die vielprämierte Verwandlung von eBay Kleinanzeigen zur eigenständigen Marke Kleinanzeigen – ein Kraftakt, der nur im engen Schulterschluss über Abteilungsgrenzen hinweg gelingen konnte. Iskra verbindet dabei visionäre Markenstrategie mit einem tiefen Verständnis für die Nutzer:innen und die Mechanismen der Plattformökonomie. Sie zeigt eindrücklich, wie man auch etablierte digitale Angebote durch kluge, iterative Schritte und echte Kollaboration zukunftsfähig macht und dabei die Balance zwischen notwendiger Veränderung und Nutzerakzeptanz meistert.Key TakeawaysGroße Veränderungen (wie Rebrandings) gelingen, wenn man sie in kleine, testbare Schritte zerlegt und idealerweise mit lang ersehnten User-Wünschen koppelt.Simple, klare Botschaften gepaart mit strategischer Wiederholung (Frequency-Effekt) sind mächtige Werkzeuge in der Kommunikation von Wandel.Echte Transformation braucht interdisziplinäre Teams, die nicht nur Probleme identifizieren, sondern auch das Mandat und die Mittel haben, sie über Abteilungsgrenzen hinweg zu lösen.Themen unter anderem:Monetarisieren & Skalieren in volatilen ZeitenDisruptions-Story KleinanzeigenZusammenwirken von Produkt & MarketingAI, Automatisierung und AlgorithmenManövrieren im globalen WettbewerbMit freundlicher Unterstützung von PAYBACK.LinkedIn:→ Iskra Velichkova→ Olli Busch→ Martin Boeing-MessingKeywords: Circular Economy, Second Hand, User Experience Design, Change Management, Interdisziplinäre Teams, Markenführung, C2C Marktplatz, B2B Wachstum, Customer Journey Optimierung, Nachhaltiger Konsum, Plattformökonomie, UI Design, Darkmode, Frequency Effect, Markenvertrauen, Kundenzentrierung Hosted on Acast.

Das komplexe, aber für Unternehmen wie die LVM sowohl nach Außen in Richtung Kundinnen und Kunden als auch nach Innen in Richtung der Mitarbeitenden extrem wichtige Thema UX-Design steht im Mittelpunkt dieser Episode von „Safe!“. Moderatorin Josephine Kahnt hat die UX-Designerin Ricarda Jankord und den UX-Designer Rosen Lütke zu Gast. Die beiden sprechen mit Josi über die Grundlagen und den Mehrwert von User Experience Design, kurz „UX-Design“. Wir lernen dabei, dass UX-Design weit über die reine Gestaltung hinausgeht und darauf abzielt, Produkte und Dienstleistungen zu kreieren – vor allem auch im digitalen Bereich wie etwa Websites oder Apps –, die intuitiv und zufriedenstellend nutzbar sind. So kann etwa die schnelle Auffindbarkeit eines bestimmten Formulars auf der Website mit ausschlaggebend dafür sein, ob eine Kundin oder ein Kunde zufrieden mit der Versicherung ist oder nicht. Dahinter steht die Erkenntnis, das vermitteln Ricarda und Rosen sehr anschaulich in dieser Episode, dass es oft wichtiger ist, ein Problem gründlich zu verstehen, bevor man zur Lösung übergeht – und wie gutes Design für echte Zufriedenheit sorgt.

“We were shipping six linear feet of technical documentation with every system that we sold. And it occurred to me that a lot of what we were documenting was just bad design and challenges using the system. I proposed that we take a look at what documentation we would prefer to write … and adjust the software to match the documentation.” In this episode, Adam talks to Harry Max about user experience design and prioritization. Harry is an executive coach and the author of Managing Priorities: How to Create Better Plans and Make Smarter Decisions. The two discuss topics including why prioritization is important in decision-making and planning, how fear can hinder effective decisions, and strategies to improve productivity.

In this episode of Elixir Wizards, Xiang Ji and Nathan Hessler join hosts Sundi Myint and Owen Bickford to compare actor model implementation in Elixir, Ruby, and Clojure. In Elixir, the actor model is core to how the BEAM VM works, with lightweight processes communicating asynchronously via message passing. GenServers provide a common abstraction for building actors, handling messages, and maintaining internal state. In Ruby, the actor model is represented through Ractors, which currently map to OS threads. They discuss what we can learn by comparing models, understanding tradeoffs between VMs, languages, and concurrency primitives, and how this knowledge can help us choose the best tools for a project. Topics discussed in this episode: Difference between actor model and shared memory concurrency Isolation of actor state and communication via message passing BEAM VM design for high concurrency via lightweight processes GenServers as common abstraction for building stateful actors GenServer callbacks for message handling and state updates Agents as similar process abstraction to GenServers Shared state utilities like ETS for inter-process communication Global Interpreter Lock in older Ruby VMs Ractors as initial actor implementation in Ruby mapping to threads Planned improvements to Ruby concurrency in 3.3 Akka implementation of actor model on JVM using thread scheduling Limitations of shared memory concurrency on JVM Project Loom bringing lightweight processes to JVM Building GenServer behavior in Ruby using metaprogramming CSP model of communication using channels in Clojure Differences between BEAM scheduler and thread-based VMs Comparing Elixir to academic languages like Haskell Remote and theScore are hiring!

Products are designed and created for their users right? Well at least they should be. A 2021 McKinsey Global Digital Sentiment Insights survey sites that 56% of users of digital services state they are dissatisfied by the user experience.  Today, we are joined by Satyam Kantamneni, a master of design thinking to shed some light on why this might be and to share his insights on how we can create user-centric organizations that leave users delighted while also driving business growth through the practice of User Experience Design. Satyam has a Bachelors in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Osmania University, an MS, of Human Factors Engineering from Wright State University, has attended Stanford, the School of Design Thinking, and received his Executive MBA from Harvard Business School.  He is currently the Managing Partner and Chief Experience Officer at UX Reactor. He has developed and curated the PragmaticUX framework, which is a scalable, consistent, replicable, and measurable approach to innovation in a digital world.  A subset of the framework is captured in his book:  User Experience Design: A Practical playbook to Fuel Business Growth.

Before his death, Jared Bridegan was regarded as a loving father, husband, and devoted member of the LDS church. He worked a career in User Experience Design and was most well-known for his role at Microsoft. Jared had two children from his first marriage to Shanna Gardner, and following their divorce, he met the true love of his life, Kirsten, and together they had another two children. But in February of 2022, everything changed when Jared was shot to death in an ambush-style attack just a few miles down the road from his ex-wife's house. Since then, three people have been arrested as part of the conspiracy to murder 33-year-old Jared Galen Bridegan.
