Get your voice heard!

November 16, 2011 by 4 Comments


Now is your chance. Autodesk has created a new vehicle to get input from you, the users of all things Autodesk. It’s called the Infrastructure Participatory Design Council.

What is it?

Autodesk strives to provide you with highly useful and usable products and services that support your productivity, help your extended team work together more effectively, and enable you to focus on what is most important in your job and business. Customer research and participatory design play a critical role in achieving these goals.

Participatory design helps the Autodesk User Experience Design Team answer questions about requirements, workflows, user goals, and common problems faced by Autodesk users.

Our participatory design activities include:

  • interviews
  • brainstorming
  • remote usability studies (including design prototype evaluation)

and more.

So now you’re interested. What’s next?

  • Sign up for the Council (see button below). It will take you to the Feedback Community (aka Beta Program) to sign in or register.
  • Complete online survey (about 10 minutes)
  • Sign, Scan and Return the Non-Disclosure Agreement and Consent
  • Now you’re ready for research invitations!

About Kevin
Hi… Please see my LinkedIn profile for complete experience history. If you’re completely lost about what a LinkedIn profile might be, here’s the “quick to the slow” version (my apologies to Dr Seuss fans): Graduated in 1991 during a economic slow time for Engineering firms. I began work life as a Critical Areas Planner in Salisbury, MD. I soon moved to New Jersey in 1993 to marry and began work at a small firm (less than 10 people) called Schindelar & Associates. When it felt as though that firm wasn’t going to last, i accepted a position at Schoor DePalma (which was CMX and is now part of Birdsall) in 1996. Then I moved to ACT Engineers from burnout at Schoor DePalma. I would’ve stayed at ACT but decided to be closer to my ill mother and moved to Delaware and began work at Becker Morgan in 2004. Sadly both the job and mom did not last long and moved back north to be near my wife’s parents and ended up at Horizon Engineering in 2005. Out of the blue in 2006, an old contact who happened to be the owner of Microsol Resources, contacted me about coming to work for him. I was nervous to leave the practice behind. But i did and enjoyed my time there. That time came to an end when I became an economic statistic. With what can only be described as an act of God, I received and accepted a job offer in less than a month to work for KlingStubbins. This past winter KlingStubbins was acquired by Jacobs Engineering. As a result of what is apparently cost cutting measures at Jacobs, I began working for Synergis Technologies as a Civil Solutions Engineer doing a bit of everything, ranging from support and training to customization and consulting for Autodesk’s civil engineering related applications.
