Pia Laulainen is a Service Designer working in the Ministry of the Interior, in Finland. In this interview we talked about her work in the Administration and Development Department where she has been involved in the development of the Internal Security Portal: Tuovi. Pia also tells us about the creation of a game that she designed with a team for the national security event in Seinäjoki this year. At the end of the interview, Pia reflects on her practice as a designer in a ministry. This is the 1st interview and part of a serie of interviews to designers working in the Finnish public sector, on national or municipal level. We have a network of designers working in the public sector that started 5 years ago. The ones interviewed in this serie are colleagues that have been active in the network and with whom we have permanent dialogues on design during our weekly online meetings and other activities.  This is a vibrant community of peer learning. This serie is an effort to document the work of these designers and understand the many perspectives and approaches of design in the public sector in Finland.

Danish designer and entrepreneur Jens Martin Skibsted, co-author of the new book “Expand: Stretching the Future by Design” and a partner of the firm Manyone, speaks with us about how to practice long-view thinking in a fast-paced world, science fiction as a design tool, and why “human-centered” approaches to design might not be such a good thing.

From blogs to social media to events, business owners are creating more content than ever. But we often don't have the budget to hire a designer for every task — and we're not sure if we can make professional-looking designs ourselves. In this episode, graphic designer Catrina Gardner will reveal all her favorite easy-to-use (and free!) tools for creating designer-quality content.

How many engineering design tools do we really need to get the job done?  Craig Brown says fewer, Mark Pendergast says more, and with that the latest Digital Battle is underway.  Innovation is often driven by new tools, and innovation drives the need for new tools.    In this uncharacteristically amicable digital battle, Craig and Mark examine both sides of the same coin and share the drivers, challenges and benefits of utilizing the new tools that are continually appearing in today's engineering toolbox.    On today's podcast, you will learn:   Why do engineers need so many tools?  People use the tools they are used to, whether they actually need them or not.  There are three areas of digitization- author tools, the database behind it, and the model libraries of knowledge- that Craig argues need to be minimized.  Engineering products have become very specialized, and often push the frontier of the possible. Core tools and fringe tools need to be managed differently, according to Mark.  Specialization requires more tools than was once the standard.    Should access to design tools be limited or uncontrolled?  Computer-based tools present a higher cyber threat and bring in unknown risks.  There needs to be a compelling reason to introduce additional tools.  Craig favors limits on tools while also allowing the options for better tools when they are presented.  Budgets create a practical limit on tool usage, and there are also abuses on the limited side.  Many tools don't have different physics but different application domains.  Tools are about more than managing a design, it's about managing the environment the tool works in and its behavior.    Will there always be a rapid pace of introduction of new tools?  Mark would argue that there will always be new tools, and those tools are driving amazing new products.  AI, big data and other solutions to problems are constantly and continually being invented.  It is essential to properly manage the transition from one core tool set to the next.  Innovation needs to be fostered in a controlled way.  According to Craig, energy efficiency will continue to drive innovation, and that drive of innovation requires new tools to help manage it.  Changes to manufacturing with 3D printing and additive manufacturing will also require new tools.    Final thoughts on the tool set The tool set is like a garden that needs to grow and be pruned as necessary.  The process of renewal and finding new tools is controlled while also encouraging innovation.  Tools that are not within your discipline deserve the same benchmarking as the tools you already use.    Continue the conversation with us within the Digital Enterprise Society Community at DigitalEnterpriseSociety.org.   Digital Download: Virtual Round-Table Series

Episode Highlights:02.10: May tells the listeners a little bit about her journey in tech as a founder.02.22: May and her co-founder have been building tools for writers in some way or other during their whole entrepreneurial journey. 04.11: Many teams are building their own quality content style guides, or some call it content design systems, which is the kind of product teams take for brand book but only for a digital product. 05.45: The goal of the content strategy is that the person owning the systemization is to enable them to do good writing on their own. The best practice for setting up the system depends on where the team is, says May.07.18: May explains that they are doing a templates library that their customers and their community is contributing, and they will be able to quickly build a very deep style guide in Writer, even if a user is starting from the scratch.08.04: We have got teams that are taking 200 pages of style guides and getting them into Writer in one day, and then your end-user has that at their fingertips while they are writing, says May.09.27: Yuval inquires from May, if we have 200 pages of a content style guide and people in the company would follow the guideline, how do you guys solve that issue and make the content accessible for everyone in the product team?10.45: May explains that they have got a chrome extension that is a sidebar that kind of lives alongside various apps and underlines things while a user is writing in chrome, and the same works in Figma.13.01: You have a content style guide connected to some database operated by the content style guide team, and then you could use it in your Figma because it is integrated with that in the frame of writing, says Yuval.14.47: Yuval asks May, based on her experience and clients, how do people use Figma to work with their copy management these days?18.57: Yuval asks May's take on the future of AI and writers who think that all these AI tools would replace them at some point?19.58: Everything on the market today on language generation piece is at best one layer of rules on top of the very broad-based API of GPT 3, affirms May.21.38: An accelerant to your workflow has a lot to do with your native writing ability and creativity. At this stage, it is not an out-of-the-box solution that writers for a living think are great.22.31: AI is not convinced to replace us this year, or even in the next few years, but the question is for writers or designers that oversee creating digital experiences, “what kind of challenges do you think they will have in the future?”24.23: The quality input is what is required for anything that is helping you on the consistency side and under a scale on the enablement side, says Yuval.28.29: Yuval has been reading a lot on strategy, design, content space, and rereading stuff. AMP IT UP is his favorite entrepreneurship book in general.34.20: UX writers are real contributions to their product team because what they are doing is important and amazing.  3 Key PointsWith Writer, it is the first time that we have gone straight to put in the words on a page as a world, and it has been so extraordinary to get to know the community, whether they are knowledge-based writers, support writers, content strategists, content designers, UX writers, explains May.When you load up a writer plugin, it just kind of shows up in your Figma app over to the side, and it lets you know when you run it on a frame or a component if there are errors in the writing, says May.The Writer is an AI writing assistant where privacy is a big feature. We don't save any customer data, and it is a big differentiator against the Grammarly release of the world. We are world-class at synthetic data creation, says May.  Tweetable Quotes“We still are kind of in the same place where overall leadership doesn't understand the power that words can have to drive business objectives.” – May“If you don't have a style guide, you can work with our support team and us or our CS team to use the writer product to define rules.” - May“The beauty of having everybody in Figma who's writing and reviewing is that it has much higher fidelity. You don't have to have iterations once it goes into development.” - Yuval “I like the idea of leverage, and it is hard to internalize what leverage means and kind of nonlinear scenarios, especially in the startup world.” - Yuval Resources Mentioned:May Habib: Website | LinkedinPodcast Editing
