Design Talk (dot IE) 0196 - Talking about Process Data with Cormac Garvey
Hosts: Anugrah Gupta and Sindhusuta Mohanty
We are very pleased to have Cormac Garvey with us today.
Cormac’s career spans factory automation, control systems, systems architecture, software prototyping and information modelling.
· Cormac, before we start, can you introduce us to your world.
· You’ve described yourself as working at the plumbing end of data analytics. Can you explain what that means?
· Who uses the data and what do they use it for?
· Having worked with and mastered a wide range of software tools over your career, what go-to approaches are in your consulting toolbox?
· Can you give us a sketch of your approach to requirements capture?
· How do you approach conceptual design? Both as an individual consultant and as a member of a team?
· And translating a conceptual design into the full project?
· What for you, is the essence of design?
<and some questions from the student audience>
Well, we’ll wrap up there.
Thank you for sharing your ideas with us today.
