Networking for Better UX
Emphasis on UX

Services are Co-created

Mobility
Participation
Self-sufficiency
Solidarity
'Flow'
Communication
Expression
Pleasure

This is important because without the successful
coordination of the parts of a system as an organized
integrated whole, it becomes increasingly diffi cult to
facilitate new ways of engaging customers, stakeholders,
employees, and experts from global or local networks
to reach collective goals [4].

Services are 'enacted'

Mismatches Undermine Value

  • Cognitive / Neurological
  • Sensory / Perceptual
  • Linguistic / Cultural
  • Mobility / Dexterity
  • Mood / Anxiety
  • Income / Social Connectednes
  • Caregiving Responsibilities
  • Level of Education / Skill
  • ... and so on
Services are co-created with users - we provide the resources, knowledge, rules of engagement - but , there is no ‘service’ without the users’ need, abilities, cognition, time, venue, etc

Outliers, not outcasts

Edge Cases Matter

Untitled Slide

many interfaces, weak data federation

Networks enable 'registration' of diverse preferences for system behaviour

everything that is not natural is designed

policy making is rooted in social science and often lacks the tools to unlock inclusive innovation

we need service design methodology that is flexible to react to different contexts, but unified enough to encourage wholistic thinking and deep civic innovation

Registries Enable Peer2Peer

  • Learning resources
  • Alternative format documents
  • Human services navigation
  • Short-term rentals / ridesharing

Appreciative Summary

  • We have 3 million use cases...
  • ... we could use a general methodology for creating / managing flexible, adaptable systems

Designing for Diversity

  • Integration -> Value 'Edge Case' or 'weak signal'
  • Automation -> Adaptability through digital networks
  • UX -> Mass Customization in the Internet of Things

The city is a 'special framework' for "the creation of differentiated opportunities for a common life and a significant collective drama."
-- Lewis Mumford

In fact, services are not 'delivered' - they are 'enacted' - an idea that resonates down the past century from the insights of Lewis Mumford, who noted that...

the built form of the city is a kind of setting, or backdrop, to the dense network of social relationships that are the real core of urbanism: "Social facts are primary, and the physical organization of a city, its industries and its markets, its lines of communication and traffic, must be subservient to its social needs."
