In an era of smart cities — that are designed to be productive, accessible and liveable — driving down pothole-ridden streets should be an annoyance of the past.
Likewise graffitied walls or abandoned trollies, problems of yesterday’s urban environment.
Yet the concept of smart cities remains exactly that, an idea yet to materialise and a theory yet to transition into practice.

With more than 71 percent of businesses now advertising on social platforms, it’s safe to say that social media isn’t going to disappear anytime soon. However, in an office environment, are these methods of communication and interaction beneficial or not?

There are millions of random apps out there are in App Store and Google Pay. There are also millions of products at shopping malls. The point is that a lot of supply doesn’t necessarily mean a good thing. Many companies create products just for the sake of creating them and will try to commercialize. Most of those products fail and that happens pretty often. The reason behind it is because those products are not designed to fit the actual needs of the potential customers.

User experience (UX) is the most important part of any app. If a user finds an app difficult to use then it doesn’t matter how well it’s built or how good it looks – they won’t use it.
There are many areas within user experience, but the one we will focus on is micro interactions, which closely link to motion design and to the user interface (UI). Micro interactions are sometimes overlooked or viewed as a ‘nice to have’, however more and more people are seeing the benefits of spending time implementing them to enhance UX and better engage their end users.

All feedback from your customers is valuable, but there are certain types of qualitative data that can give you more insight than others.
Truly insightful feedback can help you identify when people think something is confusing, why they made a certain choice, what they value most about your product, or how they view your product against the competition.
In turn, you can use this feedback to write more persuasive copy in your marketing, optimize your user experience, or prioritize new features to build. Ultimately, more useful feedback helps you make more informed business decisions.
So how do you gather this type of feedback? It’s all about the questions you ask.

Ever looked around and noticed that almost everyone is glued to their mobile phones? Doesn’t matter if they’re checking a work email, shopping online, texting a friend or watching videos of cats…everyone is connected and making use of their smartphones on a daily basis. Just to give you an idea with what I mean by everyone, there are nearly 2.6 billion smartphone subscriptions around the globe and this number is expected to jump to 6.1 billion in 2020. Some day there might even be more smartphones than people!

Whether you create your product for external clients, consumers, or internal users, your users will eventually see some version of your product. Maybe that’s a wireframe, a clickable prototype, an interactive prototype with dummy data, or a live product. New feature requests and change requests at any stage of development, especially after launch, are a fact of life for most products that have users.
Sooner or later, change requests from different users will start to contradict each other, or become too difficult to implement. This may make you rethink your product’s purpose. Product teams, engineering teams, and other stakeholders need ways to make sense of that.

We no longer have to imagine the idea of talking robots and artificial intelligence via sci-fi literature and future-gazing motion pictures. With the power of cognitive-first applications and machine learning, organisations around the world are leveraging cognitive computing across industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, marketing and defence to name just a few. By analysing masses of data collected through connected devices, sensors and user journeys, cognitive computing can support smarter solutions by processing the data efficiently.
