Kristian Viken, currently working as Functional manager for the intranett in Norwegian Government Security and Service Organisation (DSS). DSS hosts and operates the intranet for all ministry employees in Norway. In 2019, the Nielsen Norman Group (NN Group) named the intranet one of the 10 best intranets in the world.
Kristian has worked with digital developement since the 90’s as interaction designer, ux designer, project manager and digital product developer, and has been in charge of accessibility implementation both when it comes to technical implementation, design and last but not least, training and cultural changes in an organisation.

I work with technology, but my job is fundamentally about people and their needs. And it is the contact with people that is my driving force. For that reason, Universal Accessibility is one of the things close to my heart. Clear and intuitive interfaces for all digital surfaces is another issue I am passionate about, and is closely linked with accessibility.
Furthermore, good collaboration processes are important to me, and in development processes I would say that good teamwork is essential.

The Norwegian Government Security and Service Organisation (DSS) aims to be a competent and efficient administrative tool for the government and the ministries. The main task is to provide competitive joint services for the ministries and the Prime Minister's office through purchase or internal production, as well as to be the driving force behind the development and streamlining of the services.
