Why workshops are a fundamental part of our strategy ⬇️

Based on our experience, a well-defined strategy is essential for the success of any digital project💡

Workshops are a crucial component of our Discovery and Design Sprints, allowing us to understand both the end-user and our clients. They help our team establish the design direction, anticipate potential challenges, and define key user personas, ensuring the final product aligns with our client’s business objectives⚡

Having completed several projects with Helix Group, we collaborated on a comprehensive system redesign that enhanced their online presence, showcasing them as the UK's leading renewable energy marketplace! 📈

How we helped Wythenshawe Hospital enhance patient experience⬇️

Wythenshawe Hospital needed a web-based app to improve patient experience within their lung cancer service. They approached us, J B Cole, to develop a platform to capture, analyse, and present real-time anonymous survey results.

Our Approach
1️⃣ Discovery Sessions: We kicked off with in-depth sessions to understand the hospital's needs, focusing on the ‘Safe-7 Pillars’ that ensure patient comfort and safety.

2️⃣ Design & Development: We crafted a user-friendly, secure platform for anonymous surveys, making it easy for patients and carers to share their experiences.

3️⃣ Visual Admin Dashboard: We created an intuitive dashboard for hospital staff to filter and analyse the data, helping them monitor and improve patient care in real-time.

🚀 Our web-based platform met the lung cancer service's needs and was selected through a competitive pitch. We built wireframes for both the survey and admin dashboard, ensuring the system is accessible and secure, with potential for broader NHS application.

💻 Choosing the right organisation for your software development apprenticeship 💻

Our Software Engineer in Training, Lil, has settled into her role wonderfully since she started with us last summer. During her time at J B Cole, she discovered the benefits of working in a digital agency versus working in-house, like some of her fellow apprentices are doing.

With a variety of projects to choose from at any given time and a diverse client base, completing her apprenticeship in a digital agency has offered Lil a rich learning experience by exposing her to a variety of technologies, styles, and ways of working.

⚡ THE TRUTH OF INNOVATION ⚡

Our sold-out Innovation Roundtable was once again a hit! We sat down at 20 Stories for the second instalment of the roundtable series, bringing together Product Owners, Directors, and C-Suite Executives from different industries to discuss innovation.

One thing that our attendees and industry experts agreed on was that innovation is crucial is a business hopes to grow and succeed in what is an incredibly competitive market.

As we enjoyed our 3-course meal, our conversation touched on many common challenges, including:
• the nature of innovation
• ethical and legal considerations
• the role of leaders and the wider community
• sustainability and funding challenges

How is your 2024 technology strategy stacking up?

We're now far enough into the year that you should be assessing how the plans you made at the start of the year are starting to take effect and whether or not you are on track to achieve your technology goals.

But with such a rapidly shifting landscape you cannot get complacent. If you feel like you are falling behind, now is the time to take stock and re-evaluate your goals for the remainder of the year.

In-house vs agency – which is the best choice for an apprentice? 🤔

There's no right or wrong answer, as it's less about the "best" choice and more about which one will be the best fit for YOU.

In her latest blog, our Software Engineer in Training, Lil Corris, explains why a digital agency was the best choice for her, compared to an in-house apprenticeship role.

Lil found that with a wide range of client projects across several industries, being in a digital agency offers her a richer learning experience by exposing her to various styles, techniques, and tasks.

Check out Lil's blog to find out why she finds being an apprentice in a digital agency so rewarding, and how it could benefit anyone looking to kickstart their career in tech.

In 2024, there should no longer be such a thing as "sustainable web design".

We believe that web design should be sustainable as a standard.

We're seeing more and more organisations upping their ESG efforts, and a big part of that is their digital estate.

Given that internet use already accounted for 3.7% of global emissions in 2020, a figure that was predicted to double by 2025, sustainability should receive the same level of consideration as accessibility, UX, UI, and other core web vitals.
