Many people can relate to the scene from the movie “Office Space” when several employees take a baseball bat to an office printer.
Although the film made for a good laugh, challenges with office hardware and software do have a serious effect on the business. Ineffective tools and technology lead to frustration and, in many instances, result in employees disengaging. And worker disengagement is the last thing companies need, as digital transformation ups the competition ante. Organizations are depending heavily on employees to help them capitalize on the latest opportunities within the new digital economy.

Seen not long ago as “nice-to-haves” or “extras,” mobile devices and apps continue to revolutionize the way organizations operate. Workers expect to be able to do their jobs from wherever they happen to be — whether that’s in the office, in the field, at home or in an airplane terminal. Agencies that can’t meet those demands find themselves falling behind when it comes to attracting and empowering top talent. But until now, a full mobile platform wasn’t available.

Collecting and analysing in-app feedback can be very straightforward – provided that you have the right tools and methodology in place to do so.

“Although the Galaxy S9 may not have the innovative features expected by the market, we are focusing on enhancing the completeness of the Galaxy S8 hardware and an innovative user experience (UX),” a Samsung said all the way back in mid-November. More and more Galaxy S9 reports were painting a similar picture at the time. The Galaxy S9 would not bring over a brand new design. Instead, Samsung would repackage the Galaxy S8 with new hardware and software tricks this year.
Fast-forward to today, and you’ll see a rumor that says Samsung invented new UX features for the phone never-before-seen on previous Galaxy S models.

Well-designed digital systems and government websites are crucial for e-governance to succeed.
Governor of Hawaii David Ige had a Muffley moment earlier this month. The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency had just pushed out a false ballistic missile alert on cellphones and airwaves. Ige was informed of the mistake within 2 minutes. But it would take 38 minutes for a public correction. The alert system, it turned out, had no cancellation option. How, Ige might have wondered like Cold War satire Dr. Strangelove’s hapless US President Merkin Muffley facing the prospect of nuclear armageddon, was it possible for the thing to be impossible to untrigger?
