MoMo Kamapala – 19 March – Mobile Financial Innovation
Posted on: March 13, 2012 – Filed under: Kampala
Our next Mobile Monday Kampala meeting, on the theme, “Research & ideation to design & development innovation for mobile financial services: Lessons learned from the ideation process” will be a further exploration of the theme of our February meeting, with more of a focus on ideation.
We are pleased to announce that our MoMo meeting will be hosted by Google Uganda Monday 19th March from 5:30 PM. The event will be available live on G+ hangout. Thanks very much Google!
We want to learn from speakers about their companies’ experiences in discovering the needs of their clients in the mobile payments arena, by their sharing with us the learnings they gained, even through making mistakes along the way towards developing a successful product.
We are living in times where innovations are the drivers of the economies. ICT as a sector is witnessing tremendous changes and it is these changes that are shaping our economies, and lifestyles. The power of a smartphone far exceeds that of a personal computer ten years ago. The full potential that these devices have demonstrated will only be realized if we pay attention to adding value by developing applications that bring meaning to life and simplify.
The design process is at least as important as the application coding, and we must we pay attention to understanding the needs of the communities while designing these applications. The usability of the product is paramount. The design topics and issues that are to be discussed are extremely important and timely to the Uganda community.
