| Service Design Posted: 18 Apr 2013 09:59 AM PDT 
Book Description For anyone making the journey into the world of service design, this book, informed by its authors’ hard-won knowledge and field experience, should be your first stop.”
—Jesse James Garrett, author of The Elements of User Experience We have unsatisfactory experiences when we use banks, buses, health services and insurance companies. They don’t make us feel happier or richer. Why are they not designed as well as the products we love to use such as an Apple iPod or a BMW? The ‘developed’ world has moved beyond the industrial mindset of products and the majority of ‘products’ that we encounter are actually parts of a larger service network. These services comprise people, technology, places, time and objects that form the entire service experience. In most cases some of the touchpoints are designed, but in many situations the service as a complete ecology just “happens” and is not consciously designed at all, which is why they don’t feel like iPods or BMWs. One of the goals of service design is to redress this imbalance and to design services that have the same appeal and experience as the products we love, whether it is buying insurance, going on holiday, filling in a tax return, or having a heart transplant. Another important aspect of service design is its potential for design innovation and intervention in the big issues facing us, such as transport, sustainability, government, finance, communications and healthcare. Service Design is an eminently practical guide to designing services that work for people. It offers powerful insights, methods, and case studies to help you design, implement, and measure multichannel service experiences with greater impact for customers, businesses, and society. Along with many other insights, this book offers: - A clear explanation of what service design is and what makes it different from other ways of thinking about design, marketing and business.
- Service design insights, methods and case studies to help you move up the project food chain and have a bigger design impact on the entire service ecosystem.
- Practical advice to help you sell the value of service thinking within your organisation and to clients.
- Ways to help you develop business, design, environmental and social innovation through service design.

Book Description Consumer networks have revolutionized the way companies understand and reach their customers, making possible intricate measurement and accurate prediction at every step of every transaction. The same revolution is underway in our infrastructure, where new generations of sensor-laden power plants, cars and medical devices will generate vast quantities of data that could bring about improvements in quality, reliability and cost. Big machines will enter the modern era of big data, where they’ll be subject to constant analysis and optimization. The promise of the industrial internet is that it will bring intelligence to industries that are capital-intensive and create broad value that all of the industrial internet’s participants will share.

| Take Control of Your iPad, 2nd Edition Posted: 18 Apr 2013 09:44 AM PDT 
Book Description Many people can use the iPad well enough, but they aren’t having the amazing experience that they should be. They sell themselves short. They can’t find their stuff. They scroll when they could tap. They put up with a cacophony of noisy notifications. They miss important email messages. They watch video on the iPad when they could stream it to an Apple TV. They turn on the wrong settings for the wrong reasons. They need help… even if they don’t realize that they do. With 226 detail-packed pages, Take Control of Your iPad is on an unstoppable quest to make your iPad experience delightful. It answers the pesky questions, explains how things work, and explores the intertwingled nature of Apple’s apps. Tonya walks you through the entire iPad experience: - Understand your iPad: Figure out which iPad you’re working on (in case you’re helping your neighbor with his iPad and he isn’t sure). Learn about the hardware components in each iPad model that make it unique.
- Power up and down: Beyond finding out how to operate the power switch, learn about turning your iPad off and on when it doesn’t work the way it should and get advice about making the most of its battery life.
- Setup, setup, setup: Learn how to answer the questions asked by iOS’s Setup Assistant, and get help with important options that the Setup Assistant doesn’t cover, including security, Bluetooth, tethering, backups, and notifications. Find detailed directions for syncing in iTunes 11, as well as advice about integrating an iPad with services such as iCloud, Google Contacts and Calendars, and Microsoft Exchange. Also, get help with making folders and handling a big Home screen cleanup.
- Learn the interface: Read about how to let your fingers do the walking when controlling your iPad, type effectively on the iPad’s virtual keyboard, tell your iPad what to do with Siri, and dictate instead of type. Get help with the many ways to adjust, mute, or otherwise block sound from your iPad. Learn how to copy and paste, mirror with AirPlay, print, wrangle the multitasking bar, and more. (Sorry, Siri and voice dictation don’t work with the iPad 2.)
- Use Apple’s apps: Take control of your iPad with 90 pages of setup directions and usage tips for Clock, Notes, Reminders, Contacts, Calendar, Mail, Messages, FaceTime, iBooks, Newsstand, Music, iTunes U, Camera, Photos, Videos, Maps, Find My Friends, and Safari. Phew! (And read why you shouldn’t use Apple’s Podcasts app for now, plus find out about Find My iPad and iOS’s Twitter and Facebook integration.) (Although the ebook focuses on Apple’s apps, it does mention areas where independent apps are worth considering.)
- There’s an app for that! Find real-world advice on locating, purchasing, downloading, configuring, organizing, sharing, and deleting third-party apps.
