Welcome. As well as working to ensure the ongoing health, safety and resilience of our people, partners and customers, we’re also using our expertise in technology to contribute where we can to the global effort to tackle the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This page will keep you up to date on the latest news and developments from Kainos during this challenging time.
We have a large design capability here at Kainos, and group sessions of research, analysis, collaboration, workshops and creative brainstorming sessions are a key part of our work.
In this free guide, our Design team offer some advice and tips on how to make remote sessions like these work, as well as ensuring all participants feel empowered to contribute.
Until now, people excluded from accessing goods and services online might have been able to access them in person or on the phone. Now, coronavirus means shops are closed, face to face services are scarce and helplines are jammed.
In this piece, Bonnie Molins, Inclusive Design Principal at Kainos, stresses the need for digital services to be fully accessible now more than ever.
Kainos worked with NHS Digital to build and deploy an online service enabling employees to generate isolation notes if they are affected by coronavirus.
The service was built remotely in just two weeks using adapted agile techniques, a Kanban delivery approach and mob programming.
COVID-19 has challenged us to find new ways of planning for our largest distributed Agile engagements. Andy Scotland, Head of Delivery – Commercial Sector, shares how he organised and facilitated a remote customer planning event for 130+ people, saving £175,000.
Spoiler alert: we’re delighted that the customer now wants to make all further planning sessions remote.
Life as we know it has changed fundamentally. What we took for granted just a few weeks ago are now things we yearn for. We’re facing challenges, both personal and professional, and having to adapt to change quickly.
Dougie Johnston, our IT Service Operations Manager, shares a personal account and practical tips on how he is navigating through this exceptional period of disruption.
Consultants from our Workday Practice are offering guidance to help Workday customers adapt to the ever-changing challenges facing their business in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
