Key performance indicators (KPIs) are being increasingly used as a control and steering instrument in companies and in projects. Managers also require them to be met. But what are they and what are they for? And what are the challenges and success factors in defining and calculating key performance indicators? I will explain them in my blog post.

Colours have significant meaning in our lives and trigger feelings and emotions in us, making them a key factor when designing the user experience. The choice of colour can also influence the behaviour and decisions of users. In my blog post, I explain the role of colour contrasts, certain symbols and the visual hierarchies.

During the first lockdown, Jon Bailey, a former British sailor, received a lot of attention – including from me – on social media platform Twitter after his tips for working from home went viral. Admittedly, that was quite a while ago and most people have more or less become used to the ‘new normal’ since then. Having said that, there’s no getting away from the fact that the days spent working at home all seem to blend into one and we jump at the chance to add a little variety to our routine. In this post, I’d like to share some of Bailey’s tips with you, as well as some personal recommendations from my colleagues at adesso. Who knows, maybe you’ll come across a tip or two that will help you emerge from the subaquatic world of working from home.

The issue of sustainability is appearing in more and more media headlines and is becoming increasingly important in society as a whole. That’s why it’s also becoming increasingly important for companies to make conscious and considerate use of the resources they employ to ensure they meet the demands of all of their stakeholders (customers, employees and investors). In my blog post, I present four perspectives that companies can use to achieve their sustainability goals.

Data visualisation is only one aspect of interpreting data. However, looking at a representation inevitably leads to a specific interpretation, and this can be problematic. Therefore, in the second part of my blog post, I will give you various examples of how visualisations ‘covertly’ convey their intended message.

WorkAdventure is a game that allows you to recreate the familiar feeling of being in an office or to meet someone by chance at a conference online. This is how we got on.

The coronavirus has continued to make life difficult in 2021 and nobody can be certain about what will happen next. That’s why we’re still holding a lot of interviews remotely. In this blog post, I’ll outline what you should keep in mind during a remote interview.

True to the saying ‘don't trust any statistics you haven’t falsified yourself’, the way in which you present the exact same set of data can elicit completely different interpretations. So in the first part of my blog post, I’m going to show you how the presentation of a graph that visually represents data can impact perception.

Even the most impressive UX design will not sell well if the user interface is no good. So in this blog post, I want to provide creative developers and UX designers with a hands-on guide.
