Digital Transformation Conference - Recordings available

 

TFNetworkSpring22 on Digital Transformation was yet another virtual conference streamed from the Adastral Park Hybrid Studio. This time we teamed up with DIGIT Lab, a UKRI Next Stage Digital Economy Research Centre, and we had fantastic speakers lined up.

Day 1 was all about ‘Research Challenges and Opportunities’ in Digital Transformation and the speakers explored why research in the digital world is fundamentally different and what that means for the future of research. The session closed with a call for action, offering insights especially for early career researchers into their future challenges and opportunities and opening ways for joining the Digital Transformation community.

Day 2 focused on ‘Delivering Impact in Digital Transformation’. With incredible activities around digital transformation happening all over the world, the speakers tackled the questions: What are the big impact opportunities where we can really make a difference? What are the barriers for big companies to make progress? Where does Digit Lab come in? And again this session ended with an offer of opportunities especially for practitioners who deal with large amounts of data to join the Digital Transformation community.

Saeema Ahmed-Kristensen, Prof Engineering Design and Innovation and Co-director INDEX Initiative of Digital Economy and Deputy Director of DIGITLab, bringing experience from Royal College of Art (Head of Design Products) and Imperial College London, Cambridge Engineering and Denmark. Saeema’s research focuses upon improvements of both products (including product service systems) and processes (creative, product development and innovation) through developing a scientific understanding of the processes, contributing to Design cognition, knowledge and data structuring, Data driven design, Quantifying User experiences. She has worked with diverse industries; aerospace (Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems); oil (AK MH); consumer (GN Netcom); medical (Novo Nordisk), and across psychology, computing and design. She works closely with a range of industries; complex product, aerospace (Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems); oil (AK MH); consumer (GN Netcom); medical (Novo Nordisk), and adopts a multidisciplinary approach including psychology, computing and design, for example leading to approaches to auto-index aerospace reports, through an ontology based on design cognition and Natural Language Processing. Her research was one of the first to use a human centred approach to structuring and automating indexing of knowledge, and; to develop approaches to quantify user experiences, leading to a data driven-approach to assess comfort in headsets (now embedded within GN Netcom Product development processes and leading to awards for comfort).
