Subject: PNNL’s Brian Abrahamson on delivering UX excellence

And the power of strong CIO peer networks

When I think about the consumer experience of IT, it’s not one big thing,” Brian Abrahamson says. “It’s the 100 details that must be thought of, because, collectively, they can have a significant impact, whether people realize it or not.”

 

Brian’s long-held passion for consumer-driven computing and continually improving the client stakeholder experience is evident in the way he’s building, measuring, and sustaining a culture of service excellence at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. In this bonus Q&A after we wrapped our conversation for the podcast, Brian spent some more time discussing how to make sure these principles and strategies have staying power, as well as how CIOs can benefit from strong peer networks.
