Computerworld: Meet ADP’s ‘business anthropologist,’ putting human thought behind chatbots

Posted by on May 31, 2017 in Human Resources, Innovation, Progress, Technology

Computerworld’s Mary Pratt recently interviewed Martha Bird, ADP’s Business Anthropologist, to learn about her unique role in helping ADP design technologies that work for people — creating conversational user interfaces and chatbots that can serve different professional audiences across different geographies and different cultures. “My role is always about thinking about the intersections of technologies and people or, put another way, about the human-machine relationships in cultural context. ADP has embraced design thinking as a guiding UX principle and approach because we know that ultimately our tools need to meet real human needs,” she said.

Foods with labels displaying a litany of unpronounceable ingredients are falling out of favor. Not surprisingly, those shoppers who yearn for the oft-touted benefits of natural, home-grown fare are extending their standards to the foods they buy for their pets. Twelve years ago, that’s the niche Pet ‘n Shape® – a California-based producer of natural, healthy dog treats and chews – set out to fill. What began as a one-man, one-car trek to retailers, trade shows and distributors in California, Arizona, and Nevada has burgeoned into a successful brand serving online and brick and mortar retail outlets nationwide.
