4.4. Conclusion

Our experiences at IBM show that HCI activities can have a positive return both for the organization creating a piece of technology and for the people who actually use it.

We encourage you to start integrating HCI activities in your development activities in the security and privacy domain. It is helpful to start with a small to medium-size project or product as a test case and learning vehicle. Bring an HCI expert on board, and leverage this person's skill and build expertise in the larger team. Hold team discussions so that you can build on what you learn in this area within your organization and in your professional associations. Communicate your successes and failures so that people within and outside your organization can benefit from your experiences.
