An insider perspective on NADA reveals valuable insights into networking strategies and industry trends despite unexpected challenges. CRM Innovations in the Automotive Industry The Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, hosted by LA Williams and Sean V. Bradley, recently featured Shane Born and Melissa Sinclair from NCC and ProMax, who discussed groundbreaking innovations in CRM technology, specifically tailored for the automotive industry. As the podcast episodes unravel, they explore how these technologies redefine dealer-consumer interactions and internal processes within dealerships. According to Shane Born, NCC is leveraging its dual expertise as both a data and software-as-a-service company: "We are both a DAS company and a SaaS company," he notes. Their end-to-end platform ensures a streamlined, credit-first approach that not only enhances dealer efficiency but also significantly improves the customer's buying journey. This dual focus allows NCC to provide a seamless workflow tied to a single database, an advantage that sets it apart from competitors relying on multiple integrations.

The conversations with dealers led to UI and UX improvements, focusing on easy navigation and relevant data presentation, ensuring that even complex tools are intuitive for users across all roles within the dealership. Strategies from the NADA Conference One of the intriguing segments of the podcast episode involved understanding the dynamics of the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) conference. Despite logistical hurdles due to inclement weather, vendors and attendees alike made the most of the opportunity to connect and explore industry advancements. Shane Born emphasized that despite a "50% pre-registration count," those who made it to the event were laser-focused on solving pertinent challenges, leading to higher closing rates on new dealer group deals. NADA's decision to open its welcome party to all attendees, not just paid registrants, was a strategic move to enhance networking despite lower turnout numbers. "It allows us to really have meaningful conversations about what's happening and where the industry is heading," Born shared, highlighting how such interactions lead to long-lasting partnerships and industry insights. This part of the podcast underscores the importance of adaptability and creativity in fostering networking opportunities, even in unforeseen circumstances. NADA highlighted industry trends, such as AI integration and credit-first approaches, showcased by innovative solutions like NCC's ProMax. Maximizing CRM for Dealer Success In detailing the capabilities of NCC's complete CRM, the podcast dives into how dealerships can maximize the tool for their success. At its core, ProMax's CRM offers a robust framework for both reactive and proactive dealership strategies—a point emphasized repeatedly throughout the discussion. "Any user can go in and build a custom list," explained Melissa Sinclair, illustrating the CRM's adaptability in creating targeted customer lists based on various criteria, such as unsold showroom traffic or service appointments. The system's Opportunities Dashboard is a game changer, automatically collating potential purchase opportunities, ensuring that even if a salesperson overlooks a prospect, the CRM does not. Sean V. Bradley highlighted common dealer pitfalls, such as under-utilizing CRM capabilities, which often leads to unnecessary marketing expenditures. "Why are they spending $65,000 in advertising per month when they could invest $5,000 to $10,000 in CRM?" he questioned, advocating for a full-time CRM manager to ensure optimal use of the system. Reflecting on trends discussed at the podcast, it's evident that leveraging comprehensive CRM tools like NCC's ProMax could save money and increase sales, making it essential for dealerships to embrace such technologies fully. Reflections on the Automotive Horizon As the podcast episode closes, the hosts and guests reflect on how the innovations discussed are reshaping the automotive sales landscape. The evolution of CRM technology, spearheaded by companies like NCC and solutions such as ProMax, shows an industry leaning heavily into data-driven, customer-centric approaches. The recurring theme remains clear: the automotive industry is poised for growth through technology adaptation and strategic partnerships. As Shane Born perfectly encapsulates, success in this field "comes down to consistent execution of your strategic vision," underscoring the importance of aligning technology with well-defined dealership goals. With ProMax's open API and partnership with AI leaders like Impel, NCC ensures they are not just evolving alongside industry changes, but leading the charge toward a more integrated and customer-focused sales experience.

Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. On his show he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, motoring travel. This episode covers reflections on the evolving nature of historical storytelling and its importance, and how society currently undervalues historians as Jon delves into the intersection of history and modern automotive technology. He discusses his recent experience at the Automobility User Interfaces 2024 conference held at Stanford. He also elaborates on different themes from the conference, including vehicle user interfaces, autonomous driving and its interaction with humans, the role of dynamic lighting in vehicles, and the intriguing functionalities of future car designs. Special mention is given to his keynote participation alongside Dr. Barbara Karanian, where they encapsulated elements from their Stanford teaching course, 'ME236 - Tales to Design Cars By.' The show encapsulates the forward-thinking discussions at the conference on the future of personal mobility, user interface developments, and maintaining the essence of traditional automobiles amidst rapid technological changes. 00:00:00 Introduction to Jon Summers 00:00:44 Conference Overview: Automobility User Interfaces 2024 00:00:56 The Role of Historians in Modern Contexts 00:01:47 Reflections on the Value of Storytellers and Historians 00:02:39 Stanford Conference Experience 00:03:47 Keynote Speech with Barbara Karanian 00:07:28 The Importance of Storytelling in Academia 00:08:36 Generational Shifts in Car Enthusiasm 00:11:23 The Evolution of Autonomous Vehicle Research 00:43:14 Challenges in Autonomous Driving 00:48:06 Sustainability and Future Mobility Solutions 00:52:40 Pedestrian Safety Measures 00:55:19 Eco Driving and Autonomous Vehicles 00:56:45 Urban Mobility and Infrastructure 00:59:07 Personal Reflections on Driving Changes 01:02:08 Autonomous Vehicle Research Highlights 01:22:04 Pro Social Behavior in Micro Mobility 01:37:40 Bystander Effect in Autonomous Buses 01:41:33 Conclusion and Final Thoughts ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: https://www.motoringpodcast.net/ Become a VIP at: https://www.patreon.com/ Online Magazine: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/ Copyright Jon Summers, The Motoring Historian.

Technologists who work on DTC and retailer.com sites spend a lot of time doing things like building personas, creating customer journey maps and service blueprints, and conducting usability studies. But if you're a brand selling your products on a retailer's platform, you don't need to worry about that, right? After all, you don't control the user experience.... or do you? While it's true that brands don't control the User INTERFACE of retailer eCommerce platforms, their product content, product data, and advertising interacts with it to create a unique User EXPERIENCE and ultimately shapes the path to purchase. This is an audio rebroadcast of a webinar focused on just that, led by Lauren Livak Gilbert, with guest experts Amanda Wolff, CRO at Jenda, and Bailie Duncan, Lead Product Owner at Jackson Family Wines.

For some kinds of application, there is no faster or cheaper way to build a user interface than in the terminal. Sure, it's not going to suit every kind of user out there, but for those of us that are happy on the command line, rich Text User Interfaces (or TUIs) open all the exploration and discoverability benefits of a GUI are a fraction of the development time.This week we're looking at a Rust TUI library with the excellent name ‘ratatui'.

In dieser Folge spricht Jacqueline Klusik-Eckert mit Michael Wenzel und Martin de la Iglesia über digitale wissenschaftliche Editionen in der Kunstgeschichte. Sie berichten aus dem DFG-geförderten Langzeitprojekt ‚Kommentierte digitale Edition der Reise- und Sammlungsbeschreibungen Philipp Hainhofers (1578-1647)‘.Zu Beginn wird deutlich, welchen Mehrwert wissenschaftliche digitale Editionen bieten. Neben der Bereitstellung der Originalpublikation als gescanntes Faksimile wird häufig parallel eine Ansicht für die Transkription und den editorischen Anmerkungsapparat geliefert. Diese Parallele liefert eine neue Transparenz. Dadurch können Forschende die Quellen direkt mit der Edition vergleichen, was einen Mehrwert im Forschungsprozess darstellt.Die technischen Anforderungen an digitale Editionen orientiert sich dabei stets an der Quellenlage und dem Editionsziel. Dabei spielt gerade die Gestaltung des User-Interface eine große Rolle. Es zeigt sich, dass digitale Editionen oft individuelle Lösungen benötigen, es keine standardisierte Herangehensweise gibt, gleichwohl man auf einen großen Erfahrungsschatz und Vorbilder zurückgreifen kann.Ein zentraler Punkt des Gesprächs ist die Frage, wie in den digitalen kunsthistorischen Editionen der Umgang mit unterschiedlichen Medien-, Datei- und damit auch Darstellungsarten gestaltet wird. Eine strukturierte Verknüpfung ist dabei das eherne Ziel.Auch die Herausforderungen der Langzeitarchivierung digitaler Editionen werden thematisiert. Neben der Sicherung der Daten über Repositorien sind es gerade die Interfaces, die uns aktuell vor eine Herausforderung stellen. Hierbei spielen sowohl technische als auch institutionelle Strukturen eine entscheidende Rolle, um die Zugänglichkeit digitaler Editionen zu gewährleisten.Dr. Michael Wenzel ist an der Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel und im Projekt Kommentierte digitale Edition der Reise- und Sammlungsbeschreibungen Philipp Hainhofers (1578-1647) für die Konzeption und interne wissenschaftliche Leitung zuständig.Dr. Martin de la Iglesia ist an der Herzog August Bibliothek Wolfenbüttel und für die technische Umsetzung der digitalen Edition im Projekt Kommentierte digitale Edition der Reise- und Sammlungsbeschreibungen Philipp Hainhofers (1578-1647) verantwortlich.Begleitmaterial zu den Folgen findest du auf der Homepage unter https://www.arthistoricum.net/themen/podcasts/arthistocastAlle Folgen des Podcasts werden bei heidICON mit Metadaten und persistentem Identifier gespeichert.

Very few entrepreneurs think of growing a business in a practical way. Oftentimes, it's one person or a small group of friends with nothing more than an idea, the drive to see it come to fruition and not much else when that idea becomes a reality. Luckily for us, Dr. Philippe Bouissou has taken his knowledge of steady business growth and turned it into a formula for how to improve and align a company for success. Like drinking, growth has to be done responsibly and not just for the sake of growth.

Marcel Weiss gibt uns einen Überblick über das, was KI kann und einen Einblick in das, was Europa gerade falsch macht bei dem Thema.

"8% of the male population is colorblind, especially to red and green. And so think about the stock market and how that reads, or any kind of financial or big data company and their prevalent uses of green and red.  People see those colors in shades of yellows and beige. ...I think accessibility design is still up and coming.  I think user experience as an industry is still in its infancy... incorporating it into corporate spheres, companies, what does that mean?  I make it a business to help build toolkits on how to define what it is that we do." "Generally people put out surveys at the beginning of a workflow or when someone first drops into their site before login or after login. But where I find that type of survey being really beneficial is after they do something.  So they come there with a certain thing in mind that they want to do.  That is exactly when you should throw up those two questions: a rating scale or an open ended.""Nashville is a place of connectors: "Hey, you know what? I know this person, let me email them for you. There is that love here of  meeting, meeting people  organically.""Design principles are  value statements that describe the most important goals that a product delivers for its users.""With with product led growth, focus on customer acquisition, your expansion and keeping your clients. There's four ways to do that. First: it's with user experience and an intuitive interface. Simplify the user journey. When someone's onboarding, consider how  they quickly understand the value of the product just because of the interaction they're having with the first page or the first few pages, and then make sure that it's a consistent experience across all devices. "The second one is UI. You user interface is really the visual appeal of designing for attention. We touch on this with graphic design. It's bringing clarity and language to guide people through features.  Think of things like feedback, how do you know this is working?""Another one that helps with product led growth is interaction design. Micro-interactions, you know, something that has minimal steps to complete the task or reduce friction and encouraging people to use the product later. A notification  saying, hey, you forgot something! Those are all ways that, you know, kind of brings growth. You don't necessarily think about it.""The last one is showcasing  something that you can use for free. But then explaining: 'hey there's these other features that you might like!' And being exploratory with that."

Ben Shneiderman is a leading figure in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). Having founded one of the oldest HCI research centers in the country at the University of Maryland in 1983, Shneiderman has been intently studying the design of computer technology and its use by humans. Currently, Ben is a Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland and is working on a new book on human-centered artificial intelligence.     I'm so excited to welcome this expert from the field of UX and design to today's episode of Experiencing Data! Ben and I talked a lot about the complex intersection of human-centered design and AI systems.     In our chat, we covered: Ben's career studying human-computer interaction and computer science. (0:30) 'Building a culture of safety': Creating and designing ‘safe, reliable and trustworthy' AI systems. (3:55) 'Like zoning boards': Why Ben thinks we need independent oversight of privately created AI. (12:56) 'There's no such thing as an autonomous device': Designing human control into AI systems. (18:16) A/B testing, usability testing and controlled experiments: The power of research in designing good user experiences. (21:08) Designing ‘comprehensible, predictable, and controllable' user interfaces for explainable AI systems and why [explainable] XAI matters. (30:34) Ben's upcoming book on human-centered AI.

It's the hot topic among businesses around the world — governments are launching agencies to monitor AI and are also making regulatory moves and rules. … People want explainable AI; they want responsible AI; they want safe, reliable, and trustworthy AI. They want a lot of things, but they're not always sure how to get them. The world of human-computer interaction has a long history of giving people what they want, and what they need. That blending seems like a natural way for AI to grow and to accommodate the needs of real people who have real problems. And not only the methods for studying the users, but the rules, the principles, the guidelines for making it happen. So, that's where the action is. Of course, what we really want from AI is to make our world a better place, and that's a tall order, but we start by talking about the things that matter — the human values: human rights, access to justice, and the dignity of every person. We want to support individual goals, a person's sense of self-efficacy — they can do what they need to in the world, their creativity, their responsibility, and their social connections; they want to reach out to people. So, those are the sort of high aspirational goals that become the hard work of figuring out how to build it. And that's where we want to go. - Ben (2:05)   The software engineering teams creating AI systems have got real work to do. They need the right kind of workflows, engineering patterns, and Agile development methods that will work for AI. The AI world is different because it's not just programming, but it also involves the use of data that's used for training. The key distinction is that the data that drives the AI has to be the appropriate data, it has to be unbiased, it has to be fair, it has to be appropriate to the task at hand. And many people and many companies are coming to grips with how to manage that. This has become controversial, let's say, in issues like granting parole, or mortgages, or hiring people. There was a controversy that Amazon ran into when its hiring algorithm favored men rather than women. There's been bias in facial recognition algorithms, which were less accurate with people of color. That's led to some real problems in the real world. And that's where we have to make sure we do a much better job and the tools of human-computer interaction are very effective in building these better systems in testing and evaluating. - Ben (6:10)     Every company will tell you, “We do a really good job in checking out our AI systems.” That's great. We want every company to do a really good job. But we also want independent oversight of somebody who's outside the company — someone who knows the field, who's looked at systems at other companies, and who can bring ideas and bring understanding of the dangers as well. These systems operate in an adversarial environment — there are malicious actors out there who are causing trouble. You need to understand what the dangers and threats are to the use of your system. You need to understand where the biases come from, what dangers are there, and where the software has failed in other places. You may know what happens in your company, but you can benefit by learning what happens outside your company, and that's where independent oversight from accounting companies, from governmental regulators, and from other independent groups is so valuable. - Ben (15:04)     There's no such thing as an autonomous device. Someone owns it; somebody's responsible for it; someone starts it; someone stops it; someone fixes it; someone notices when it's performing poorly. … Responsibility is a pretty key factor here. So, if there's something going on, if a manager is deciding to use some AI system, what they need is a control panel, let them know: what's happening? What's it doing? What's going wrong and what's going right? That kind of supervisory autonomy is what I talk about, not full machine autonomy that's hidden away and you never see it because that's just head-in-the-sand thinking. What you want to do is expose the operation of a system, and where possible, give the stakeholders who are responsible for performance the right kind of control panel and the right kind of data. … Feedback is the breakfast of champions. And companies know that. They want to be able to measure the success stories, and they want to know their failures, so they can reduce them. The continuous improvement mantra is alive and well. We do want to keep tracking what's going on and make sure it gets better. Every quarter. - Ben (19:41)     Google has had some issues regarding hiring in the AI research area, and so has Facebook with elections and the way that algorithms tend to become echo chambers. These companies — and this is not through heavy research — probably have the heaviest investment of user experience professionals within data science organizations. They have UX, ML-UX people, UX for AI people, they're at the cutting edge. I see a lot more generalist designers in most other companies. Most of them are rather unfamiliar with any of this or what the ramifications are on the design work that they're doing. But even these largest companies that have, probably, the biggest penetration into the most number of people out there are getting some of this really important stuff wrong. - Brian (26:36)   Explainability is a competitive advantage for an AI system. People will gravitate towards systems that they understand, that they feel in control of, that are predictable. So, the big discussion about explainable AI focuses on what's usually called post-hoc explanations, and the Shapley, and LIME, and other methods are usually tied to the post-hoc approach.That is, you use an AI model, you get a result and you say, “What happened?” Why was I denied a parole, or a mortgage, or a job? At that point, you want to get an explanation. Now, that idea is appealing, but I'm afraid I haven't seen too many success stories of that working. … I've been diving through this for years now, and I've been looking for examples of good user interfaces of post-hoc explanations. It took me a long time till I found one. The culture of AI model-building would be much bolstered by an infusion of thinking about what the user interface will be for these explanations. And even the DARPA's XAI—Explainable AI—project, which has 11 projects within it—has not really grappled with this in a good way about designing what it's going to look like. Show it to me. … There is another way. And the strategy is basically prevention. Let's prevent the user from getting confused and so they don't have to request an explanation. We walk them along, let the user walk through the step—this is like Amazon checkout process, seven-step process—and you know what's happened in each step, you can go back, you can explore, you can change things in each part of it. It's also what TurboTax does so well, in really complicated situations, and walks you through it. … You want to have a comprehensible, predictable, and controllable user interface that makes sense as you walk through each step. - Ben (31:13)

This week, Zak and Aaron chat with Josh Bowlby, a UI/UX designer (user interface and user experience, for the neophytes out there) who has experience at companies like Virtuix and Wayfinder developer Airship Syndicate, among others.Not only was he kind enough to speak on some of his experiences in that space, but also his active role in the Austin, TX, game development community. From tips on networking to thoughts on how to get through a rough layoff, Josh proved to be a font of wisdom and good advice.Please, enjoy.Listen to Beach Girl on SpotifyCheck out edouggieart on EtsyCheck out even more edouggieart on Instagram
