information is going
everywhere, bleeding out of we
   thought was cyberspace and

Huh. An electronic Visa.
Well, that’s pretty cool.

 check in online
even though I bought my
tickets (and my Visa) online
damn, have to talk to a
               person
               http://www.flickr.com/photos/mkooiman/787191703

“Change screens, Pillow Pillow”
               “Where’s the Pillow?”
“Didn’t they cover that in training?”
              “Backslash Backslash”
                      “Okay, tietac”
                             “What?”
                             “Tietac”
                              “huh?”
                           “Like Tie”
                 “carrot backslash”
                    “United States”
                     “Pillow Pillow”

why?
70% of US online
  consumers research
  products online and
purchase them offline


  Forrester, Profiling The Multichannel Consumer, July 2009
65% of visitors to an online search
    engine were looking for further
information in relation to a product
  or service they saw in a television
     commercial or in a newspaper
                     advertisement.

‘integrated

don’t design for
technology, design for the
     holistic experience
how?
information architecture
       is the foundation
                 http://www.flickr.com/photos/saroy/34554645
information, not technology, is
 the foundation for closing the
     gap between experiences

across channels
       across platforms
across digital & physical
…predictable pathways of
    information are changing: the
physical world itself is becoming a
      type of information system.

there is an enormous demand
right now to have information on
   the go…people are living their
     lives on the move, and that is
 increasingly how they want their
           real estate information.

“holistic storytelling
experience across channels
reporters now write for
digital first => extensibility

         agnostic

it's not about the channel, it’s
     about what information is
needed to provide the holistic
                    experience
I’m the same customer in every interaction

the design of a physical space can and
should take advantage of information
      architecture (IA) deliverables, in
         particular when designing an
               integrated model of IA.

information is the bridge

                http://www.flickr.com/photos/the-o/330134132
information is blurring the lines
   between products and services to
          create multi-channel, cross-
platform, trans-media, physico-digital
                     user experiences

What is my journey?
Holistic experiences require
          holistic information
         architecture. Across
channels, platforms, devices
            and touchpoints.
Questions??

Editor's Notes

  • #3: But most importantly (at least to this conversation), I spent 10 years in the restaurant and bar business and waited on a LOT of customers.
  • #26: Door picture
  • #28: Ritz carlton
  • #29: Ritz carlton
  • #30: Ritz carlton
  • #51: Picture of me
  • #78: Regardless of how I was interacting with the Parker – whether it was making a reservation online, calling them to check something about my reservation or physically at the hotel. I was the same person, the same customer interacting with them.
  • #92: Regardless of how I was interacting with the Parker – whether it was making a reservation online, calling them to check something about my reservation or physically at the hotel. I was the same person, the same customer interacting with them.
