124 - The PiCAA Framework: My Method to Generate ML/AI Use Cases from a UX Perspective

In this episode, I give an overview of my PiCAA Framework, which is a framework I shared at my keynote talk for Netguru’s annual conference, Burning Minds. This framework helps with brainstorming machine learning use cases or reverse engineering them, starting with the tactic. Throughout the episode, I give context to the preliminary types of work and preparation you and your team would want to do before implementing PiCAA, as well as the process and potential pitfalls you may run into, and the end results that make it a beneficial tool to experiment with.    Highlights/ Skip to: Where/ how you might implement the PiCAA Framework (1:22) Focusing on the human part of your ideas (5:04) Keynote excerpt outlining the PiCAA Framework (7:28) Closing a PiCAA workshop by exploring what could go wrong (18:03) Links Experiencing Data Episode 106 with Jeremy Utley The Data Product Leadership Community Ask me a question (below the recent episodes)

Are you an enterprise data or product leader seeking to increase the user adoption and business value of your ML/AI and analytical data products? While it is easier than ever to create ML and analytics from a technology perspective, do you find that getting users to use, buyers to buy, and stakeholders to make informed decisions with data remains challenging? If you lead an enterprise data team, have you heard that a ”data product” approach can help—but you’re not sure what that means, or whether software product management and UX design principles can really change consumption of ML and analytics? My name is Brian T. O’Neill, and on Experiencing Data—one of the top 2% of podcasts in the world—I offer you a consulting product designer’s perspective on why simply creating ML models and analytics dashboards aren’t sufficient to routinely produce outcomes for your users, customers, and stakeholders. My goal is to help you design more useful, usable, and delightful data products by better understanding your users, customers, and business sponsor’s needs. After all, you can’t produce business value with data if the humans in the loop can’t or won’t use your solutions. Every 2 weeks, I release solo episodes and interviews with chief data officers, data product management leaders, and top UX design and research professionals working at the intersection of ML/AI, analytics, design and product—and now, I’m inviting you to join the #ExperiencingData listenership.
