#Architecture - BI Developer - Senior

[adam-oliveira]

↑ IBM Business Analytics defined and pursued an exciting roadmap to reinvention, largely through a close collaboration between design and product management. Lead by strategic design, we introduced frameworks such as Jobs-To-Be-Done, 3 Horizons, Value Proposition Canvas, and Design Envisioning Sprints for a portfolio of 4 flagship products: Planning Analytics, Cognos Analytics, Controller, and Open Pages. The outcome was to future-proof these products by integrating an end-to-end business performance management cycle for our customers, using emerging technologies such as AI where they made an impact.

IBM Business Analytics

↑ The business performance management cycle for extended financial planning analytics, connects business intelligence and business planning together with data.

↓ Traditional business analytics solutions target 8-10% of an organization's technically advanced users, but knowledge workers represent 60% of xFPA consumption.

↘ Rising need for organizations to make better decisions quickly and easily from increasingly complex data requires us to rethink traditionally technical modes of BI tools.

↑ Knowledge workers expect an xFPA experience considerably more approachable than existing systems, yet with the power to tap into deep organizational data.

↑ The 3 Horizons foresight framework considers current, interim, and aspirational trajectories, which makes it particularly effective in business and enterprise contexts, where innovation has a polyrhythmic pattern.

↓ 19 relevant emerging trends and 5 key drivers were identified through horizon scanning and UX research data.

↘ Their impact on product trajectories was plotted together in a cross-functional workshop that included senior stakeholders from design, engineering, product management, sales, marketing, and research.

↑ Our envisioning sprints were a series of rapid collaborative design sessions in which we combined opportunities for under-served needs uncovered by Jobs-To-Be-Done, market and product analytics, and emerging technologies along 3 Horizons, to creatively envision use cases that could then be wind-tunneled and validated against our Value Proposition Canvas.

↑ New capabilities, and advances to existing ones, were proposed for near (skateboard), mid (bike), and long (car) development roadmaps.

↓ We identified current capabilities and technologies that would remain essential vs those that should eventually be deprecated.

↘ And anticipated tension points that require non-zero-sum strategies.

↑ Our product innovation strategy addressed 4 areas from core collaboration to an extended integration ecosystem.

↗ With a go-to-market in 3 phases, beginning with modularization of our products into a composable services architecture that can be connected in different ways to create an end-to-end business performance management cycle.

↑ An invention achievement for a patent I filed that addressed an interesting problem for users when working with common information across multiple applications in an integrated ecosystem. The patent proposes a method of copy-and-paste that uses AI to understand context of the transfer and modify the pasted content appropriately. For example, if copying and pasting data from one currency or language to another document in another currency or language.

↓ The patent was granted in 2021 and published in 2022. Read the full publication here »

↑ The master plan involved conducting similar rigor on all 4 products, and converging existing streams of product development.

The strategic design work for reinventing IBM Business Analytics lead directly to the creation of the Advanced Product Design Group (APDG), and subsequently several new watsonx initiatives, including watsonx BI Assistant, which are covered in the next chapter on IBM Data + AI.

Hans Rosling Center in Seattle

Apr 21, 2021

Hans Rosling Center

Design: Miller Hull

Location: Seattle, Washington, USA

Named after a pioneer in the data-driven approach to improving health and well-being, the University of Washington’s Hans Rosling Center for Population Health was designed by The Miller Hull Partnership, LLP in collaboration with contractor Lease Crutcher Lewis.

It will serve as a central hub for faculty, researchers, and students to work together with local and global partners to address some of the world’s most significant challenges across three key areas: human health, environmental resilience, and social and economic equity. The Rosling Center was completed ahead of schedule at the peak of a global pandemic and will house organizations dedicated to developing data-based response strategies for critical issues like poverty, equity, health-care access, climate change, and COVID-19.

Made possible by a $210 million gift from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and $15 million in earmarked funding from the Washington State Legislature, the Rosling Center houses the Institute for Health Metrics & Evaluation (IHME), UW Department of Global Health, parts of the UW School of Public Health and the offices of the UW Population Health Initiative.

All of these units have been key to the worldwide response to the COVID-19 pandemic. IHME’s projections have informed policymakers during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a number of researchers have shared their insights with CNN, the Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times.

Office Neighborhoods and an Open Facade The building’s layout makes it a successful model for system shocks like a pandemic, or other transformational events, which may affect how workers occupy the facility. A set of four office types cater to various working styles and are organized as a collection of neighborhoods, which breaks down the scale of each floor and democratizes access to daylight, views, and fresh air.

They vary from 1–2 person shared offices, to 4–6 person shared offices, to open workstations and drop-in workstations. Each neighborhood contains flexible spaces, including shared offices and meeting rooms, which are easily transformable over time. The building encourages intermingling between groups, as casual interactions can often spark innovative ideas and opportunities.

Art and storytelling elements are integrated throughout the facility and speak to both the building’s mission and the occupants’ mission, creating opportunities for education and inspiration. The woodblock installation located at the main interconnected stair was made in collaboration with Portland-based storytellers, Mayer/Reed, and consists of crowdsourced items from the university community to represent their various connections to the building’s primary focus: improving health.

The architects created a new accessible entry that safely invites people into the greater campus, the site, and the building. Upper workplace floors extend out to create a monumental covered porch and urban stair — a refuge from Seattle’s damp climate. Three interconnected ground floors ensure that anyone who enters the building has a welcoming “front door” and immediate visual connection to public program spaces. On the facade, three-foot-deep glass fins provide a dynamic shade and shadow composition that protects occupants from west sun and glare.

Though physically static, the fins act as a canvas for changing light conditions throughout the day. A more subtle facade faces east toward the UW’s historical core to bridge the gap between the original campus dating back to the 19th century and the new West Campus innovation district. Custom precast panels incorporate aggregate to integrate with neighboring buildings and provide a backdrop for lush landscape lining the area’s new Garden Walk.

“The building both defines and responds to its context,” said Ruth Baleiko, Design Lead for the project and Partner at Miller Hull. “We looked for ways to build upon the physical and social structures of the site and leverage those elements in conjunction with environmental conditions to create a building that is, as much as possible, ‘of its place.’”

Progressive Design-Build Approach The Rosling Center is the first and largest integrated design-build project completed on campus for the University of Washington, setting a national example for universities nationwide for its efficiency and timely delivery. The UW was looking to integrate design and construction services, with a single source of budget and schedule responsibility shared between them. The UW selected Miller Hull and Lease Crutcher Lewis to bring the Rosling Center to life based on shared team qualifications, project approach, and a risk-reward fee structure.

Once selected, the team partners were to create a design and move through construction to completion, also known as progressive design-build, working with the owner throughout the entire process. In this model, the UW set a maximum total project cost – including the portion for design and construction – then reimbursed the actual design and construction cost only up to that amount. Completed as of October 2020, the project finished on time, added about $8 million of enhancements during construction, and completed $6.5 million under budget.

“Miller Hull and Lewis rethought every aspect of design-build to speed up the process and improve outcomes for the UW. This allowed an unprecedented delivery speed of three years from site selection to substantial completion,” said Lease Crutcher Lewis Senior Project Manager Joe Nielsen. “We were determined to throw standard design and construction practices out the window to allow the design team access to critical trade partners early in the design process.”

Sustainability Principles Informing Human Health Miller Hull previously designed Seattle’s Bullitt Center, the greenest commercial building in the world, and environmental resilience continues to be a primary emphasis for the firm. At the soon-to-be LEED Gold certified Rosling Center, extensive Bioretention treats all rainwater that lands on impervious surfaces, while rain that falls on the building is stored in on-site cisterns and used for fire protection and toilet flushing. The high-performing façade reduces the building’s carbon footprint and provides the foundation for a low-impact mechanical system.

While working inside the building, occupants maintain a stronger connection to the exterior environment through direct views, light play on the fins, and operable windows on the east and west façades. Throughout the building, design elements inspire healthy habits. Offices provide access to fresh air through operable windows, communal kitchens encourage healthy eating and vertical circulation prompts physical activity. Miller Hull implemented extensive measures to reduce chemicals of concern from materials, creating an interior that promotes human and environmental sensitivity.
