Integrative Workshop

The School of Information is fundamentally about integrating knowledge from various disciplines in order to develop great information solutions for the world. This 5-week workshop will use a case to do that — a previous student master's project. It will be analyzed and "re-designed" from different angles, with relevant faculty at each stage. The project case will most likely be a iPhone/Internet service solution developed for the healthcare industry.

5 Sessions and 6 Perspectives (in no particular order):

1. User needs assessment: What is the need or "painpoint" addressed? How do you find out? (Parikh)
2. Service design: What is the overarching design of the service/solution? Eco-system: how does a solution best link to external partners and data sources? (Glushko)
3. System architecture: What is the best way to design the system architecture? (Wilde)
4. Interaction design: What are the critical things to get right for users? (Parikh)
5. Legal: Security, privacy, IP: How do you secure sensitive data? What are the IP issues? (Mulligan, Carver)
6. Business strategy and organization: What are possible business models? What's the competition? How do you get this adopted? (Hansen)
