Make Sense.

Move Forward.

Ever wonder why there seems to be plenty of technology that solves small, personal problems, yet the bloated software you use at work sucks?

The last two decades have brought remarkable innovation that changed our daily lives! Yet, when it comes to economic indicators for productivity, we’re stuck in a rut. People, tethered to their work through email and chat, are caffeine-fueling their run on what seems like a never-ending hamster wheel.

As a result, we’ve had productive conversations about mental health, self-worth, vulnerability, and failure. Though, at what cost?

 

Why?

Your doctor spends more time at the computer than looking at you. #BadTechnology

 

Why?

The Google Search results made up of all non-reputable sources. #BadTechnology

 

Why?

When you order a product online but they won't let you pick up one available in the store nearby. #BadTechnology

 

Why?

When you call Customer Support, they can't give you the same promotion the rep in the store offered you. #BadTechnology

I am un-amused.

Thanks to the echo chamber of Tech CEO hero worship,

…we’re reinforcing beliefs and habits that drive the 90% startup failure rate. Indeed, ninety percent of USAID projects fail and over 55% of Enterprise IT projects fail, as well.

Are we humans just really bad at solving problems?

It’s time to shake things up, break the mold, ask challenging questions, and design the human experience of the future.
