The Future of Retail is here. The entire world is a shopping platform and Retailers can no longer see digital and physical store as 2 different business models or even a different department in their organization. The digital and physical world has converged and the difference between winners and losers — are the companies and brands that are bringing digital behaviors into the physical world. This has had a domino effect on the entire industry. Digital behaviors in connected physical spaces are triggering Malls, Retailers and Municipalities to rethink their commercial spaces. Nomadic devices like mobile, connected cars, wearables and social platforms are increasingly playing a transformative role in business.
The Internet of Things: Designing for Magical Moments of TruthJoanna Peña-Bickley
Designing for magical moments of truth has never been more important with the rapid rate of growth of the internet of things. Radically simple design is what makes enchanting experiences.
As we contemplate how to manage a tsunami of data, wearable devices are rendering technology invisible. Smaller, faster computers and microchips, tracking and measuring metrics in real-time are revolutionizing how we connect with the world.
Fashion-forward designs, developed to crunch and interpret the numbers faster than we are able to collect them, are analyzing biometrics through everything, from our eyewear to our underwear.
The wearable computing market is expected to hit $19 billion by 2018. And it’s no surprise that our co-evolution with technology is becoming the bridge between mobile communication and the Internet of Things.
Data’s ubiquity – whether push, pull or ambient – can be harnessed for efficiency, knowledge, and utility. This enables us to reframe the least renewable of all elements, time itself.
The Internet of Everything and The Quantified Self
By 2020, analysts predict that we’ll be digitally connected to everything around us. Microchips, sensors, and batteries are shifting devices from our desks, out of our hands and pockets, onto our bodies.
The ongoing capture and analysis of data enhances our self-knowledge, informing The Quantified Self, and drives The Internet of Everything, an evolving digital ecosystem. In the future objects will receive data and respond seamlessly ...the refrigerator that delivers a glass of water based on your hydration level; rooms that self-control their energy output based on who is in them; locks that open as you approach, and smart slippers that detect a fall.
In this shifting paradigm of the observer and the observed, traditional industry verticals, such as health telecommunications, automotive, and entertainment will merge into cross-functional, user-centric innovations.
Author Jeremy Rifkin describes this change as the powerful Third Industrial Revolution. People, machines and every aspect of our work and social lives are connected by big data, advanced analytics and predictive algorithms. If we stay on track, we are headed towards economies powering smarter cities, efficient business, streamlined manufacturing, and renewable energy sources. It began with the Internet and continues with the promise of our wearable future, realized by some of the following innovations.
Welcome To Mobility in a Post-Digital Era.
From the first wheel to our first footsteps on the moon, our quest to move further and faster has been limited only by the technology to power our dreams. Now, speeding into a post-digital era, the forces of sustainability, urbanization, and new technologies that defy the very concept of time and space are reshaping how we move all over again. Join us on a journey to explore the innovations and ideas - once relegated to science fiction - coming to life today. The future of mobility is the ongoing present.
Talk: Cognitive Storytelling In The 4th Dimension - How Would Orson Welles Ta...Joanna Peña-Bickley
Halloween 1938: The Panic Broadcast Hallowe’en night in 1938 Orson Welles transformed radio from a storytelling medium to a medium that delivered an experience. ------- he created national hysteria as listeners reacted to what they believed was an alien invasion. The consummate disrupter - Welles knew the entire world was his stage!
#WWWD What Would Wells Do? As story maker I wonder--- how would Welles tell his stories today? how would he recapture a distracted audience from their devices and screens with immersive interactive technologies? What experience would he create? We are today’s Story Making pioneers — rewriting and inventing new rules in code -- every single day.

A talk on our role, as modern marketers and innovators, at the frontline of global change as every aspect of business, as we know it, undergoes a tectonic shift, from an industrial age to the next. The next evolution of human and machine, discovering how artificial intelligence can be used in so many different ways, from trading mundane tasks for quality moments in every industry, to understanding and connecting to our audiences and customers in unique and individual ways.
This upheaval in business creates an exciting opportunity of the proportions that made history’s most famous industrialists, just a century ago -- men, and even a few women, who understood the nature of change, saw the future and made it a reality. Back then, fortune was granted to an elite few. Today, disruption can easily come from the largest enterprise lab or a garage workshop in the burbs.
The stakes have never been higher, customer attention span is minimal, and the need to engage it and retain it, is greater than ever. Such times come round once in a century, if that, so I feel incredibly fortunate, as a woman of the 21st century and a post-digital player, to have a seat at the table of global reinvention of business and brands, and by definition, a hand forward thinkers shaping the future. When we bring together Data Scientists, Innovators, Advertisers, Marketers and Makers like me - United, we can redefine the metrics for success and then notion of what it means to be a post-digital industrialist in the cognitive era.
The pace of change in advertising and consumer behavior continues to be frantic and to accelerate, so our annual trip to CES in Las Vegas continues to remind us how, in relative terms, hardware changes more slowly than both software and our expectations. In fact, CES in 2016 didn’t show a revolution in electronics and consumer products, but more of an evolution. The products were similar yet faster, thinner, cheaper and above all else, more connected.
This moment feels like the early stages of a new era, a time when all products are becoming cloud connected, touch screens are everywhere, and all media is digital. Yet it’s not quite the Internet of things — it’s the interim of things. We don’t yet have a complete smart home, we have sophisticated homes that sometimes don’t quite work. We have 3D printers without totally compelling use cases, and robotic body parts that don’t quite make a full humanoid.
The companies succeeding are those that are innovating and collaborating to solve real consumer needs, while staying true to a clear brand purpose. From artificial intelligence and cognitive computing, to drone technologies, virtual reality and biometric sensing, to 8k video and 360 surround sound, there are tremendous opportunities on the horizon.
Please read on to view the ten themes that make up this moment in time.

Making Magic with IBM Watson - Designing Enchanting Experiences In The Cogni...Joanna Peña-Bickley
From Dick Tracy’s watch to Wonder Woman’s Bracelets to Bat Girls total recall and technopathy, fiction has a intriguing dialog with invention. This dialog and inspiration can serve designers and engineers alike when creating for brands in the cognitive era.
When we design customer and employee experiences for brands, we have an opportunity to supercharge a brand by empowering employees and customers with superhuman powers with IBM Watson. Watson is a self-learning system that uses data mining, pattern recognition and natural language processing to mimic the way our human brain works. With Watson in your arsenal of design tools we are able to outthink, outsmart and out do the competition in extraordinary ways.
Generation Z has arrived, and they expect intelligently designed brand experiences. Gen Z’s 44 billion dollars of disposable income has triggered a tsunami of change as industry races towards 2020. In a recent C-suite study, 68 percent of C-suite executives expect their enterprise organizations to emphasize customer experience over products. During industry’s dance with disruption, design has elevated itself to a new seat of power at the table and in the boardroom. That seat comes with expectations that design will act as a conductor of a symphonic enterprise.
The intelligence revolution has begun. We are at an historic inflection point again. For those of you that believe in the theory of eternal recurrence or eternal return - This idea states that the universe and all existence has been recurring, and will continue to recur, in an infinite number of times across infinite time or space. So what that means is that if you study human history you know that history doesn’t repeat itself like a broken record — it does tend to rhyme if you know how to listen to the signals. This presentation gives you a way to look at framing a data driven future with art and science of design.
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” – Arthur C. Clarke
Most of my creations have been inspired by the belief that there is a unique dialog between fiction and invention. The comics of Trina Robbins, Wendy Pini, Louise Simonson, Charles Moulton, Arthur C. Clarke and the Classic Tales of the Brothers Grim have shaped my imagination and my quest to design enchanting experiences that use the Internet of Things (IoT) as a canvas, data as a paint and enduring stories to create unique customer experiences that go from science fiction to magical reality.

Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far. Over the span of five years, I've been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge under the guidance of esteemed professors and industry mentors. From rigorous academic pursuits to practical engagements, each experience has contributed to my growth and refinement as an architecture student. This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
