Domain Driven Design at UK Parliament
'The two Houses (Commons and Lords) are largely autonomous, as are many of the offices inside the Houses. Many of Parliament’s current systems have evolved separately over years, digitising processes in isolation.

In-built Intelligence: The Information Architecture of Intelligent Environments
The ‘internet of things’ moves technology out of our hands and into the environments we inhabit. Rather than devices which constantly demand our attention, technology can be embedded everywhere yet goes largely unnoticed until called upon; present but at the periphery of our attention for most of the time. This creates a new relationship between us, the environments we inhabit and the technology in those environments.

Inclusive Urban Development by Visualising the Future
Why do municipalities generally involve stakeholders in urban development projects? Because protocol dictates this needs to be part of the process. Gathered input often lacks quality and is not representative of the crowd it actually should represent. We decided this needed to change. For our work on an urban development project, we put all stakeholders first. Through both digital and physical encounters, we visualised the future.

Experiment-Driven Service Development
Most of today’s successful companies are what Dave Gray and Thomas Vander Wal call “Connected Companies”: companies that are “deeply engaging with workers, partners, and customers, changing how work is done, how you measure success, and how performance is rewarded. It requires a new way of thinking about your company: less like a machine to be controlled, and more like a complex, dynamic system that can learn and adapt over time”.

Race to the Top: Building Skyscrapers and Design Teams that Soar
In this talk, you’ll learn how skyscrapers get built and apply these lessons to become a better design leader. Alissa Briggs, Head of Design at the world’s #1 mobile construction app, will share how she transformed designers into leaders, double the size and impact of the design team, and create a user-centric company culture.

Information Architecture in the Dawn of a Digital Oral Age
We speak to each other in text threads. We filter and skim, copy, modify, forward and share bits and pieces in chat bubbles. We speak to machines, and they speak back to us. We ask them for help, and they suggest and predict. They adopt to our habits and live changes, as we feed them with what we think, how we feel and what we do. As we and they adopt, machines shift from being objects and tools, and become assistants and agents. If our new behaviour and communication patterns start to resemble oral cultures, what does it mean for Information Architecture?
