As it is the season to give, and most notably the season to give things, I was surprised to see the number and range of experiences as gifts available on the market this year. I have seen them before as up-and-coming gifts, but this year there seem to be more of them, and greater interest. […]

I have received a lot of positive feedback recently about the post describing the experience centric organization (here and here). Some of the companies I am working with are now exploring what it means to be an experience centric organization, and what it means for project teams. Since Steve Jobs has been on my mind […]
This is the second of two posts about the experience-centric organisation. In the previous post I introduced it, and in this one I will explain a little about what it means to become experience-centric. To design for experiences requires several things. More and more, I see that if you want to have experiences as your […]
Todays announcement of a strategic alliance between Nokia and Microsoft has prompted me to write something here, that I started thinking about a year (or so) ago, or even several years ago.

Almost everyone has seen and talked about the Old Spice adverts on YouTube (if you were holidaying this summer – look here), and the clever way that he created YouTube answers to questions received via […]
I am working in the project planning the 2010 Government design competition in Norway, which will be focused upon healthcare. I am also hungrily looking for references related to user experience. Today I found some really useful documents that show how the NHS in the UK is really beginning to focus upon a patient-led health […]
Mosse, my colleague at work, sent me a link to this interesting discussion regarding the ability of facebook to be a successful persuasive technology with resulting behaviour change. We are both interested in how the combination of ubiquitous technologies, social media and service design can be combined to nudge behaviour, particularly in public services such […]
Peter Morville, him of the polar bear book on Information Architecture (link), and later Ambient Findability (link) has just written and interesting and informed piece about Ubiquitous Service Design (link). I’m always amazed about how compact and well linked his posts are, and this one is no exception. He introduces  a great many terms, but […]
