Episode 8 of the Citizen Centric podcast is now out! Workplace is still on the agenda as the latest workplace trends can really help us to understand more about user experience in a city.\n\nElisa R\xf6nk\xe4 from Siemens is a perfect person to talk to about this subject. She specializes in end user apps, IoT and emerging technology but she isn\u2019t a fan of technology for technology\u2019s sake. Her role is to look past that shiny new piece of technology and ask \u201cbut what does this do for me as a user, employee or citizen?\u201d\n\nWe talk about: \n-\twhy the era of accepting friction in our daily life is over\n-\thow Elisa\u2019s varied work history makes her the perfect person to question the experience delivered by new technology\n-\twhy the best innovation occurs when people collaborate voluntarily and why that doesn\u2019t normally happen in meeting rooms \n-\twhy workplaces are a good place to study when aiming to understand user experience as employers are trying to keep up with apps like uber or justeat\n-\twhy technology needs to delight us and not just function\n\nMore about Siemens https://new.siemens.com/global/en/products/buildings/markets/smart-office.html
