Welcome to Time & Space Studios, a technology* workshop** run by me, Bianca Wylie.
I specialize in processes to help you and your organization better talk about, think through, and make decisions about technology. How to get the most out of your investments in technology products and systems. How to make sure you’re getting them to work for you.
I’m doing some of the prep work and thinking about how the studio is coming together out in the open – on the blog , and in a newsletter.
Talking about technology with specificity and clarity can be challenging, so I’m particularly interested in knowing how these issues are showing up in your work. Please contact me for a conversation about any of these situations:
You are in the early stages of a technology procurement process, or have one coming up in the next few months.
You are in the early stages of implementing tech changes either within your organization, or externally to customers.
You are in charge of professional development programming, or you have a personal budget for professional development, and you’d like to hold or join a session about the impacts of technology on organizational culture, society, and democracy.
_____________________________________________
*Technology means a lot of things. When I use it, I’m talking (mostly) about internet-enabled computer technologies, from data to hardware to software.
As for this being a **workshop – it’s a place for collaboration that always includes the creation of models – analogue representations of technology – as part of our working method for every project.
Why a studio-based approach?
This studio was created to develop and offer methods to help you talk about technology more productively.
Well-informed choices about technology use – from purchasing to operations – come from a place of confidence and power.
From my experience as a facilitator, I know it’s possible to use a repeatable method to support decision-making about tech. From my experience working with computers and data, I know that it helps to bring more physicality into discussions about tech by using analogue models and physical materials.
