OVERLOAD CAUSES CONFUSION AND FRUSTRATION
WEBSITE REDUCTION
INFORMATION OVERLOAD
REDUCES THE VALUE OF INFORMATION,
BECAUSE IT REDUCES THE USE OF
INFORMATION.
SO

HOW DO WE GET MORE
VALUE FROM OUR
INFORMATION
INVESTMENTS?
VALUE

KEY PRINCIPLE:

UNDERSTAND
EXPERIENCE TO
GENERATE VALUE
WE NEED TO DESIGN FOR THE
EXPERIENCE OF INFORMATION
IN BOTH POLICY & IMPLEMENTATION
THREE
THINGS
1. UNDERSTAND PEOPLE
2. CREATE STRUCTURE
3. SHOW CONTEXT
UNDERSTAND PEOPLE
TO UNDERSTAND VALUE AND PRIORITIES
HUMAN-CENTRED

FOCUS ON

PEOPLE
