I recently completed a heavily illustrated CreativeCommons e-book that may be of interest to the Modern Analyst community. 

”Working through Screens: 100 Ideas for Envisioning Powerful, Engaging, and Productive User Experiences in Knowledge Work”

This e-book is a reference for product teams creating new or iteratively improved applications for thinking work.  It addresses three “big picture” challenges that are commonly faced by technology leaders: 

1. Identifying and meeting common product requirements in compelling new ways
2. Thinking strategically about users’ experiences in order to create desirable software offerings that resonate in their markets
3. Finding useful perspectives that can highlight high-value strategic opportunities and promote insightful design exploration  

Written for use during early, formative conversations, “Working through Screens” provides product teams with a broad range of examples and considerations for setting the overall direction and priorities of their onscreen tools.  This e-book is online in three formats, each of which is freely available via the creative commons license (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike). 

A. Full book as 121 .html pages
B. 143 page .pdf book
C. Highly summarized “Idea Cards” .pdf

Very curious to hear any thoughts that this community might have on this project. 

Thank you,
