Quality Of Life Measure The Client:Baugh center for entrepreneurship and free enterprise, Baylor University, Texas http://www.baylor.edu/business/entrepreneur/ Their need:  An Interactive website that would cater to the Quality of Life Measure project.  Data gathering and analysis of the World and US data to be used.  Visualize the research that the center has undertaken regarding the quality of life. Our solution:     A compelling website that generates interest in the Quality of life. An online questionnaire that gives users an idea of their life-ability. An interactive map that shows data that suggests living standards in different parts of the world. An interactive web application that shows where the ideal place a person could live in by choosing the indices provided in the study.  Statistical work that includes online data gathering, interpolations and updates to keep the interactive apps and reports up to date. STRUMBLE The Client:Matthew Roach, associate lawyer at Minter and Ellisonhttp://www.minterellison.com/Brisbane/ The problem:  Most lawyers are not using time catching app that their firms provide.  Time spent are often not recorded as they are usually just jotted down in paper which gets lost or just gets forgotten. Our Insights:  Lawyers are not using the time catching app because they are too complicated to use. The user has to adjust to how they are programmed and often times is a burden for the users to use.  Lawyers find it easier to just jot down in paper their time spent in work, rather than go through the hassle of opening their app and go through unusable functions. Our Solutions:  Make a customized iOS time catcher application that is hassle free to use.  Focus on functions that are useful and remove anything that is not needed.  Easy recording for lawyers by using either units or time recorder and email sending functions. Agent Based Modelling The Client: Per Baylund, http://perbylund.com/Ohio State University The Need:  Visualize for the academe community the effects of the 2 kinds of entrepreneurs in society under the Schumpeterian and Kriznerian theories.  Allow academe community to critic and test the theories and findings. Our Solutions:  Create a simulation using agent based modelling to show the interaction between the 2 types of entrepreneurs.  Create a control panel where-in testers can control variables and make better testing.  Create guidelines and parameters for each agents based on the theories. Clients Response: “Overall, I was very happy with what you produced. I especially liked that you made yourselves part of the project and suggested solutions and extensions along the way. I was a systems developer in my previous career, and I know how rare this quality is. And even though I’m good with systems and systems design, I’m still an ignorant customer – and I benefit a lot from working with experts who do not only deliver what I ask for but also attempt to contribute to the end goals of the project as a whole.” “I demoed our simulation in Dimo Dimov's process PDW. It was very well received, and it is obvious that such a graphical representation of theory triggers a lot of thought and discussion.” – Per Bylund, professor of research at Ohio State University Mobile Signing The Client: Beracah Pharmaceuticals The Need:  Easier tracking of Medical representative’s performance.  Paperless reporting  Real time tracking of doctors signatures. The solutions:  Mobile signing for doctors  Mobile presentation of products  Cloud based server for management that shows reports if agent performance and partnering Doctors participation.
