SEE-ICE: A model for navigating sustainable development

A conceptual model for connecting primary drivers and secondary outcomes of sustainability to the United Nations SDGs.

The cornerstone of my major research project toward my Master of Arts – Learning And Technology was the development of a model for sustainable development that connects the three primary pillars of sustainability – Social, Environmental, and Economic systems – with secondary outcomes of Viable Innovation, Livable Communities, and Equitable Opportunities.

ePhysician portal concept: Changing health care

An RFP response in the early days of integrated health data management yielded some interesting conceptual design opportunities for a medical data portal.

Capgemini was preparing a joint pitch with HP in response to an eHealth initiative at Ontario’s Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. As part of our response, visual mockups were created to present a conceptual framework of potential functionality and user experience, as a way of framing discussion and opening dialogue with the client. While integrated records management has still not been implemented in the province, this concept shows some of the power and potential of an integrated approach.

Standard & Poor’s: When a site becomes a platform

A robust research and trading platform was built with a “skinnable” interface, facilitating white-label deployment on customer sites.

In 2003, i worked on an interesting project with a small but outstanding team. We were flown in to assist with the front-end development on a financial services application that was being developed for Standard & Poor’s in Capgemini’s development centre in Lower Manhattan.

Strategic creative: Scenarios and concept development

Scenario-based planning was used to develop a vision piece that depicted ubiquitous “cloud” computing and multi-platform streaming media almost a decade before becoming reality.

Working closely with Capgemini’s Digital Asset Management consulting group in 2003, I led a creative team to collaborate and brainstorm over a couple of days to develop scenarios and storylines for a near-future media landscape 5 to 10 years into the future, specifically geared around consumption of media and how digital asset management (and rights management) technologies would play a role.
