To win at Business in a world dominated by Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud, means the business needs to go faster. Be able to explain to your executives the economic basics of why DevOps is critical to drive the speed necessary to use technology to win in your industry.
EMC initially took an aggressive "take it or leave it" sales approach but faced issues as customers were unhappy with lack of support. When Mike Ruettgers joined, he changed EMC's approach to be highly customer-centric, focusing on understanding customer needs and providing excellent ongoing support. EMC implemented processes to gather customer feedback, rapidly respond to issues, and position themselves as a strategic partner rather than just a product seller. These changes transformed EMC's fortunes and made them the world's most customer-centric company.
The documents discuss the evolution of DevOps and big data analytics. They describe how development and operations teams used to work in silos but now must work more collaboratively. There is a movement toward breaking down barriers between teams to increase speed and release rates. With new tools and infrastructure, teams can better align and integrate work. Big data provides an opportunity for DevOps to further mature by treating data as a shared resource and asset to be managed holistically.

processes, the talk will take the form of a brief introduction,
software demonstration and examples and Q&A session, examining
both backend and front end design considerations.
HCID 2014: Developing jewellery for the future. Dan Moller, Kovert Designs.City University London
Wearable Tech refers to electronic devices worn on the body. Almost all devices released to date are in the form of rubber fitness bands or smartwatches, both worn on the wrist. Whilst in its infancy, Wearable Tech has some innovative potential uses. Imagine being able to control any device in your home by the snap of a finger; unlock your door, car or computer just by touching it; be alerted if your stress level, heart rate or blood sugar level is abnormal or even allow your doctor to remotely administer medication if he sees your vitals drop.
We’re on the cusp of a new wave of electronics which will re-define the way people use technology. But fundamentally, people need to want to wear these devices. Whilst Samsung and Apple will no doubt take care of the early adopters and technology advocates who care about functionality and convenience, the fashion conscious consumer has yet to be accounted for. This is the gap in the market that Kovert will exploit through being not only a wearable tech company but also a fashion brand.
This talk is about how, as Designers, can we move beyond the need to
design a screen into everything and embrace physical interactions? Now computing is becoming ever more ubiquitous & entwined into our lives, surely an acceptable solution isn't to cover our world in icons & screens. There is an emerging trend of beautifully crafted products that are becoming the face of complex systems, yet they have no screen at all and still provide a rich suite of interactions that are easily accessible by the user. What tools are available to us as Interaction Designer’s to give us the courage to step away from our wireframes & start designing beautiful, engaging physical interactions?
HCID 2014: Defending users, helping businesses: the transactional aspects of ...City University London
The idea of 'designing for users’ is most appealing until business reality hits home: what the users want is work to discover, not what the Product Owner had in mind, what the competition is doing, too hard to build, and so much more. UX is often called at the last minute, in the hope that miracles can happen, “can you add some ux there, it’s not doing terribly well” being an oft-heard preamble to a conversation that’s likely to tumble down and capsize hopes and dreams. The practice of UX requires to support business reality whilst catering for, and sometimes defending users. I will share with you how I've ported my UX knowledge in the teams I've worked with to ensure UX doesn't become the costly harbinger of bad news, enemy of design, arch-enemy of tech and general spanner in the works. I’ll explain what worked and didn't work, the appropriate pace to grow UX in any environment and why HCI academics are the best card in my pocket.

This talk with cover a few examples as to how science fiction predicted current technology and behaviours, but also how to choose the right technology to draw inspiration from. The talk will also cover techniques to help get creative through the power of future thinking
The document discusses how to create an effective portfolio that showcases a UX designer's skills and experience. It recommends personifying the portfolio to represent yourself, demonstrate how you work, and add depth beyond just a resume. Key tips include showing your process, telling a story with your work, maintaining consistency, engaging the reader, and including deliverables like sketches, prototypes and case studies.

HCID2014: Adapting to responsive web design. Matt Gibson, Cyber-duckCity University London
We can no longer predict how people are accessing our websites
now, let alone in a few years’ time when the technology people use
to access the web will inevitably diverge even further and perhaps in
ways we haven’t even considered yet. Rather than seeing this unpredictability and lack of control as a problem, we should embrace
these ‘known unknowns’ and the inherent flexibility of the web.
Put simply, responsive web design is about being more flexible and assuming less about our users, from how they’re accessing our websites and what technology they’re using to their environment. This talk will discuss the four tenets of good responsive design: content parity, performance, future friendliness and accessibility against a backdrop of Matt's experiences designing and building responsive websites over the past 3 years with plenty of useful tips and takeaways along the way.
The aim of this presentation is to introduce the concept of accessibility, and will cover what is meant by being accessible, why it’s important, who is affected, and how you can incorporate accessibility into your design, development and planning. There will be particular focus on the practical aspects of testing for accessibility.
HCID2014: How to involve children in design. Monica Ferraro, City University ...City University London
What are the advantages and challenges inherent in working with children in the design process for creating games or apps? How do you stop them getting bored, and get useful information?
This case study looks in detail at a project that tried to do just that, and provides some handy tips at the end.
The case study builds on the speaker's dissertation, Designing applications for children, that was submitted as part of the Masters course in Human-Centred Systems at City University London in September 2012. For the dissertation, she worked with children aged 4-5 years old to design an iPad application to learn the names and sounds of the letters, and to read and spell simple words.
The Interaction labs new manager Stuart Norman is looking for creative individuals or groups familiar with creativity techniques to participate in 1.5 hour ideation workshops in late August and September using a telepresence robot, with a half hour follow up discussion. Interested parties should email stuart.norman.2@city.ac.uk for the opportunity to collaborate creatively and experience controlling a telepresence robot.
Ways of seeing: Innovative Research Techniques In Video Ethnography - Nick Le...City University London
This document discusses video ethnography techniques for innovative research. It describes video ethnography as a method to observe and understand cultural behaviors and meanings through context. Key aspects include open-ended discovery guided by inquiry, developing relationships, and revealing knowledge that emerges naturally from contexts. Observation techniques capture natural behaviors and allow moving between insider and outsider perspectives. Co-discovery decodes meanings attached to behaviors. Case studies demonstrate how video can illustrate people's lives and social behaviors. Combining techniques identifies unknown issues and frames questions, while video outputs communicate findings and stories to create engagement. The document provides an example of a video ethnography study conducted for a nonprofit to demonstrate client challenges and advocate for more integrated services.

These tips include how to set up color profiles, use shape layers and snapping tools, ensure proper alignment and spacing, handle text formatting, and more. The overall document serves as a handbook for Photoshop designers to master the simple techniques that ensure pixel perfect precision in their work.
Type on Screens: What to Consider and Why - Toshi Omagari, Monotype City University London
This document discusses best practices for using fonts on screens. It notes that screen typography is still evolving and font rendering can vary across platforms and devices. Different formats and licenses may be required for web fonts versus embedded fonts. When rendering fonts on screens, rasterizers convert vector outlines to pixels in different ways depending on the device. The document provides examples of how LCD and e-ink screens display pixels. It recommends choosing fonts designed for screens that have vertical proportions, shapes, spacing, and weights suitable for small sizes. Adjusting line height and size can improve readability when combining fonts. Font designers are working to optimize existing fonts and design new fonts specifically for legibility on screens.
