I’m currently in Washington D.C. at Oracle HCM World. It’s been a busy conference; on Wednesday, Thao and Ben ran a brainstorming session on wearables as part of the HCM product strategy council’s day of activities.
Then yesterday, the dynamic duo ran a focus group around emerging technologies and their impact on HCM, specifically wearables and Internet of Things (IoT). I haven’t got a full download of the session yet, but I hear the discussion was lively. They didn’t even get to IoT, sorry Noel (@noelportual).
I’m still new to the user research side of our still-kinda-new house, so it was great to watch these two in action as a proverbial fly on the wall. They’ll be doing similar user research activities at Collaborate 15 and OHUG 15.
If you’re attending Collaborate and want to hang out with the OAUX team and participate in a user research or usability testing activity, hit this link. The OHUG 15 page isn’t up yet, but if you’re too excited to wait, contact Gozel Aamoth, gozel dot aamoth at oracle dot com.
Back to HCM World, in a short while, I’ll be presenting a session with Aylin Uysal called Oracle HCM Cloud User Experiences: Trends, Tailoring, and Strategy, and then it’s off to the airport.
Earlier this week, Noel was in Eindhoven for OBUG Experience 2015. From the pictures I’ve seen, it was a fun event. Jeremy (@jrwashley) not only gave the keynote, but he found time to hang out with some robot footballers.
Check out the highlights:
Busy week, right? Next week is more of the same as Noel and Tony head to Modern CX in Las Vegas.
Maybe we’ll run into you at one of these conferences? Drop a comment.
In other news, as promised last week, I updated the feed name. Doesn’t look like that affected anything, but tell your friends just in case.
Update: Nope, changing the name totally borks the old feed, so update your subscription if you want to keep getting AppsLab goodness delivered to your feed reader or inbox.
