Big data. Big screen.
National-defense business-intelligence design for Deloitte & Lockheed.
Deloitte engaged me and my design team to tackle a unique data-visualization challenge: Transforming a defense contractor’s 1,500-step process for building and maintaining the bleeding-edge F-35 combat aircraft into a relatable and easy-to-understand interface for consultants and executives.
Our solution took advantage of Microsofts’ 84-inch, high-resolution multi-touch screen with national-defense data locally stored on the device. The result shows how processes, customized projects, and myriad resources interact in new and profitable ways.
Executive and consultant users can drill down though various levels of complexity while visualizing only those metrics that are meaningful or have affect other process. This ability to see dependencies, gauge impacts, and measure shared resources gives both consultants and defense contractors tremendous transparency into their operations and the power to make smarter decisions about the road forward. The platform even allows users to create scenarios where they can model alternative data-sets against the current state to demonstrate tactical value.
“[JD and his team] have been so responsive, organized, and creative ... I really appreciate the amount of thinking that goes into this because it’s super complex. I wish we’d been working with these guys from the very start.”
