SOFTWARE PRACTICE INNOVATIONS: THE 25-YEAR JOURNEY TO BUSINESS RESULTS

TheWeek: "Pradeep Henry's name is synonymous with innovation."

Pradeep Henry has reconstructed the boundaries, goals, and methods of 3 different disciplines under the software practice umbrella.

Starting at the "humblest" of the three (Technical Writing), Henry moved up into the next higher-level discipline (User Interface Design), and then further up into the next higher level (software development), innovating a method in each.

It's been a 25-year journey, and here are the results ... First, his innovations have attracted significant US interest (check out documentary evidence in the slides below). Second, software developed with his innovations have delivered new levels of business results to US and European companies (again, see evidence in slides below).

These slides provide a brief intro to each of the 3 innovations. More importantly, they answer your questions about a Henry innovation, such as ... Is there any evidence that the innovation impacts business? Are there books or articles about it – published by respected organizations? Did it trigger invited speeches at premier events? Any research done around the topic of the innovation? Is it reviewed by experts in respected publications? Did it get citations in respected publications or events? Did it attract interviews by media or industry analysts? Did it garner media coverage? Have media or professional associations published the innovator’s biography? Is the innovation influencing (or changing) the field?
