There are always situations in which creativity is required. Whether in the development of technology and HMIs or in other life situations. In this episode, I present three creativity techniques with which I have achieved enormous success with my clients.

Thinking Fast and Slow is the main publication by Nobel Prize Winner Daniel Kahneman. It is on the topics of thinking, decision making, and acting. For our brain, it defines the fast and imprecise system 1 and the analytical, slow system 2. I have extracted three theses from the book and analyze how they can influence the development of technology.

Automated driving, self-driving vehicles, and, at the end of the day, rolling robots that autonomously manage entire routes are some of the visions of the future and are some of the major megatrends in the automotive industry. The different levels of automation are defining how the relationship between people and technology, between driver and vehicle, is designed.
Based on SAE levels 0 to 5, I will discuss how HMIs, vehicle interiors, and how the relationship between driver and vehicle changes.

The first industrial revolution started in England at the end of the 18th century. Agrarian societies turned into industrial societies, the foundations for the highly technological world of today had been created. I analyze the industrial revolutions from 1 to 4, their effects on the relationship between people and technology, and what that means for HMIs (human-machine interfaces). This episode discusses the third and fourth industrial revolutions.

We need to know everything about humans to design technology. And not vice versa. When looking at the relationship between humans and technology, the focus is often on technology. What is good, what is bad, what works, and what does not? And it's about the interaction, what happens between the two parties. This week like in the last, I'll take a closer look at humans. From a very special perspective. I mirror technology and HMIs against the theses of Yuval Noah Harari as he puts them up in his book "A Brief History of Humankind". A 30,000 feet flight through 70,000 years of human history and what it tells us for our future.

This is episode two of two. If you have not heard the first episode you may return to last week and listen to it first!
Designing an HMI, GUI, interface solution is in some parts a highly creative process, and I'm some parts following a strict procedure. After collecting the relevant data, the knowledge shall be turned into some concept. In this episode, I'm describing the steps required to get a solution with perfect usability and user experience.

Amanda Stockwell is President of Stockwell Strategy. With her business, she has a focus on user research. She collects all the data the techy guys need to create successful products. Amanda talks about a boat trip to Mexico, which was totally unusual, about the way she sees our highly technological way, about her education and her various positions. And she lets us know, how lollipops influenced her career.
