Jan Bidner

Thinking out of the box comes natural to me as it is a core drive in both my work and in my spare time. My main concern is problem solving and creating effects for my clients (and satisfiction for myself). And also being passionate and having fun doing so. No matter the techonlogy or means. Effect is A and O.

I am passionate and engaged with a focus towards sustainability and engaging, user centered services. Expert areas are dynamic web development, O365, learning, UX-design, games and gamification.

Except from being pretty digital I am also pretty analogue and hands-on in the way I go about things and how i view the world... I think digital is merely an ominus channel to support everyday problems, challenges and activities. But what really matters is how we use and experience services in our lives. I have 6 points that I always consider in every project I am involved in: Behaviour, Needs, Understanding, Explanation, Change and Improvement. I think validation is key. Assumption and best practices goes a long way but can cause prejudice and bias.

As a Requirements Specificator I've worked both in large scale RUP-projects and in small scale SCRUM-Projects. I prefer working with small teams in quick, agile processes. Transparency and Visualization is a key when it comes to delivering the best possible experience.

I am an inspired and well prepared speaker with a pedagogical touch and natural ability to enthuse large crowds.

I am also immensely passionate about games and what makes them work. I've been designing games and Gamification experiences since 2009. My expertise is within games, gamification, user experience, edutainment and e-Learning. My heart is in good Learning, motivation and engagement through feedback, feeling and structure. I am a storyteller.
