his is a PDF of my keynote for DesignOps Global Conference 2019 [https://designops-conference.com/day-2-may-31/]

This is about exploring a framework to build a scalable, portable design system for collaboration and automation by machines.

This keynote is part of Session 4.

Session 4 | (PM) DesignOps in the era of AI and cognitive computing
How are different organizations leveraging people-to-people, people-to-machine and machine-to-machine interactions and autonomous systems to design and create new products and services? How do companies need to change their design practices and development processes in the era of cognitive computing and what roles will DesignOps play?

This is an updated edition of the original title that was published in 2018, with additional chapters, revised content. DesOps (aka. DesignOps) is an approach to design, inspired by the culture of DevOps.

At the fundamental level, DesOps is not about introducing new models or process in the enterprise, rather, it is about orchestrating Design Thinking, Lean Methodologies and UCD models & other best practices of the industries along with modern technologies to understand, create and deliver value.

The “DesOps Enterprise” is more than a belief system (like the Open Organization or the Agile Organization), that takes strength from the foundation of DesOps. The DesOps Enterprise is about how to empower the enterprise or the organization with the right culture, processes, and ecosystems to support design-driven process and data-driven decision making with agility and speed to conceptualize and deliver great products.

The first volume of this 3 part series, deals with DesOps (aka. DesignOps) as an approach to design, inspired by the culture of DevOps and explores the cultural aspect to implement successful design-driven organization. This book touches upon modern approach to design, as a creative process, spanning across the whole gamut of disciplines like Product Management, Marketing Management, Market & User Research, Interaction Designing, Information Architecture, Quality Assurance, Product/Service Strategy, and Delivery etc.

[Slides] In Search of Truth: At the Crossroad of Critical Theory and Technology in DesOps World B.B.Autonomus College, Chandikhol (2018)

Posted on by Samir Dash

 

This is a paper presented by Samir Dash at Department of English, Baba Bhairabananda Autonomous Mahavidyalaya, Jajpur, Odisha (http://bbmchandikhole.org/) on 16 July 2018

This UGC seminar session was an attempt to understand, from a non-traditional lens, the relevance of critical theory in context to today’s ever-changing technology space that is moving towards the Automation, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Distributed Computing, become much more important in history than ever, as it deals with softer aspects of human identity and socio-cultural dimension through communication or human expression.

This interactive session will have two major focus:

1. A brief overview of the critical theories from a diachronic lens that will be helping the students in grasping the fundamentals in a socio-cultural context.

2. A cross-discipline comparison with the modern design-driven practices in the software industry that would help the students understand the potential and opportunities in the real world scenario where these theories would help.
