If any of you are still feeling ☹ about data.census.gov… just going to put this here. Read on --> From: Rotmil, Adam &lt;adam.rotmil(a)ACCENTUREFEDERAL.COM&gt; Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2020 1:21 PM To: CENSUS-L(a)PO.MISSOURI.EDU Subject: Speaking with Users of Census Data Hello! I’m leading a design team that is helping the Census Bureau to improve the user experience for finding and downloading Census data. The vision is to discover and create more ideal processes/tools in a way that’s informed by the experience and needs of real users. To inform this effort, we’re setting up qualitative interviews with regular users of Census data -- people like you. Would you be willing to talk with me and my team to share your experience about finding and accessing Census data? We’re planning a redesign over the coming year that will be based on what we learn from this field research. We will prototype designs for user-centered processes/webpages, which we will want to bounce off real users. Building a pool of relevant volunteers will help drive these test & learn cycles. If you’d like to volunteer your perspective, please email me at adam.rotmil@accenturefederal.com<mailto:adam.rotmil@accenturefederal.com> Please include your name, your preferred contact information, and a brief summary of your role or affiliation. I’ll save that information to a spreadsheet and reach back out to the volunteers as we move forward. We will be speaking with small groups of about 1-5 people at a time. Additionally, is there anyone else in your network who you think we should be talking to? Thank you very much for your time and consideration. We really appreciate it. Looking forward > Adam Rotmil Experience Lead & IxD Craft Lead FJORD Design and Innovation, Accenture adam.rotmil@accenturefederal.com<mailto:adam.rotmil@accenturefederal.com>
