Two-part series that explores the triumphs and challenges of designing government websites.
Wednesday June 25, 2014, 6:30 PM
Fee: Free for NYTECH members and sponsors. $20.00 for non-members.
In a two-part presentation, the New York Technology Council in partnership with Huge will explore the triumphs and challenges of designing public-facing government websites that impact millions of citizens. (Please note: this event takes place in Brooklyn at Huge HQ.)
Designing for the Priorities of 8 Million New Yorkers (Part 1) - June 25, 2014
In 2013, Huge successfully redesigned and launched the City of New York's website NYC.gov --the first redesign in a decade. Join the New York Technology Council on June 25th and gain insight into the strategic and data driven process of how Huge approached designing a scalable, service-focused site that speaks to 8 million users.
Healthcare.fail (Part 2) - Date TBD
Our next session will focus on the launch of Healthcare.gov. The main contributing factors to the debacle included the government's failure to pick the best vendor for the job, use the right development process, and a lack of focus on the end user. In addition, these factors were the result of a series of structural incentives that have long favored bad procurement and project management decisions in government projects. Join us on June 25th for a presentation on why these incentives need to be abolished, how to disrupt the industry, and the importance of putting the citizen first.
