As I mentioned on Saturday, I just updated my blog theme to something a bit more clean and modern. In addition to just wanting something that looked good, one of the features that factored into my choosing the Wise Words theme for Orchard was its support for responsive web design, leveraging Twitter bootstrap and bootstrap responsive to automatically reformat content and resize elements depending on the available screen real estate. Unfortunately, one thing that didn't work well was when I browsed the site from Internet Explorer 10 on Windows Phone 8. Apparently, due to a bug (more on this later), the device adaptation code in the bootstrap responsive CSS does not receive the correct value, so the rules that should reformat the site to be more readable on mobile devices isn't applied. So what I ended up with on the phone was something like this: Granted, that's not terrible, since it's easy enough to tap to zoom in, but the layout isn't ideal for mobile, and the navigation links are way too small. The theme is supposed to swap out the links for a dropdown menu once the screen drops below 767 pixels wide, but that's...(Read whole news on source site) Monday, 17 June 2013 14:27 | | | |

I was talking with a colleague recently about the following question: “How do you accelerate business value?” One of the key challenges in today’s world is accelerating business value. If you’re implementing solutions, the value doesn’t start to get realized until users actually start to use the solution. THAT’s actually the key insight to help you accelerate business value. It’s adoption. When you are planning, if you want to accelerate business value, then you need to think in terms of pushing costs out, and pulling benefits in. How can you start throwing off benefits earlier, and build momentum? With that in mind, you have three ways to accelerate business value: Accelerate adoption Re-sequence the scenarios Identify higher value scenarios Before you roll out a solution, you should know the set of user scenarios that would deliver the most business benefits. Keep in mind benefits will be in the eyes of the stakeholders. If the sequence is a long cycle, and the adoption curve is way out there, and benefits don’t start showing up until way downstream, that’s a tough sell. ...(Read whole news on source site) |
