1/5 of the "Future of UX" Ignite session from UXPA 2014. The purpose of this session is to get attendees dreaming about the possible, the likely, and the probable future of UX Design - and to inspire them to be a part of making these dreams a reality. We will have at least 5 visionary speakers directed to talk about what they think is possible, likely, and probable 20 years, 50 years, and 100 years with regard to personal and organizational technology design. Speakers will be asked to consider the following questions in their presentations: What similarities and differences do you foresee in how people think about technology in the next 20, 50, and 100 years? What trends will have come and gone? What trends are lasting How will the UX profession change? How will businesses , users and UX professionals collaborate on design challenges? What would you like to see in the future of UX Design and why?

Psychology Mis-focus (Zarla Ludin)

UXPA International

Zarla Ludin's talk from the UXPA 2014 Ignite session "Are you a Super Hero or a Super Villain? Using Design Psychology for Good (and Evil)." Design Psychology is a powerful tool to wield and can be used to the benefit or detriment of our users; motivating them to behave in ways that can be in their interest, or our own. Our panel of experienced professionals, each with an interest in different facets of design psychology, will choose a white hat or black hat - some taking the side of good and honest intentions, with others taking the dark side where manipulation and coercion reign. On which side will you fall?

Annie Drynan's Ignite talk from the UXPA 2014 session "Growth by Design: Managing Change in Experience Design Teams." The demand for experience design services is getting higher every day. As we try to manage the rapid growth of our specialist teams, we're reaching the point at which our evolved team structures can no longer cope with that demand. How do we structure our design teams to focus on quality and sustainability while ensuring our employees are kept highly motivated and have clear career development opportunities? How do we facilitate change and re-define roles to alleviate points of stress and encourage ownership and accountability at all levels? This Ignite session will bring experienced managers and practitioners together to share their insights on how they have achieved this in their own companies, to give attendees specific, actionable advice to help them manage growth in their own experience design teams.

Developing a Manifesto for Accessible UX (David Sloan, Leonie Watson, Sarah H...

UXPA International

We sense a paradigm shift from technical accessibility towards accessible user experience. We’ve seen the benefits that inclusive design can contribute to product usability and desirability, and we’ve been shown a more inclusive approach to UX by Whitney Quesenbery and Sarah Horton in their book “A Web for Everyone.” But shifting from a conformance approach to accessibility to integrating it holistically into the design process is a logistical, organizational and technical challenge for UX professionals and their colleagues. Hear our Manifesto for Accessible UX, in which we set out an approach to delivering accessible UX in the real world, based on our own many years of experience in the field. Have the opportunity to contribute to developing the Manifesto into something the profession can use to create genuinely inclusive high-quality digital experiences. This workshop is relevant to a wide range of roles, including designers, developers, user researchers, usability specialists, product managers, policy makers, strategists, and leadership. Attendees should come with a commitment to accessibility, a desire to apply a holistic and sustainable approach to accessibility, and a readiness to discuss what's needed to make it so. In other words, this workshop picks up at the "how" and not the "why" of Accessible UX. Attendees will leave the workshop with some immediate actions and resources, so that together we may move Accessible UX forward.

Win User Loyalty by Targeting Logic AND Emotion (Mike Donahue)

UXPA International

Emotions are arguably the most powerful motivator for humans and yet most projects lack an implicit strategy to target emotions. This talk will present insight on how and why to use emotion as a strategic target for UX design. It will cover the 4 Stages of Accomplishing Goals, the factors that affect how strongly we feel about an experience, what causes us to focus more on the positive or negative aspects of an experience, what stops us dead in our tracks, and how to create an experience that satisfies both the logical and emotional parts of our brain.

Look Beyond Data Trends - A Technique to Find Hidden Design Implications from...

UXPA International

Contextual inquiry as a research method has gained its popularity these years among user experience practitioners. As a user researcher, we face excessive user data that are collected from field studies. Most of us review and analyze the field data by looking for trends of users’ responses and behaviors. For example, “Affinity diagram” has been commonly used to group and analyze the field data to identify any trends. However, in many cases, it is not enough to draw our conclusions based on a few “Aha!” moments. We should also consider the rich and “random” data that are not obvious to form trends, and abstract hidden implications from them. How we could accomplish it, however, has remained as a challenge. In this presentation, I will start with a case study from our own work, and demonstrate how we found the hidden implications from our data. Then we will explore and discuss strategies and techniques from different perspectives.

Competitive UX Intelligence: A Primer

UXPA International

UXPA 2013 Annual Conference Thursday July 11, 2013 11:00am - 12:00pm ET by Beverly Freeman Analyzing your competition can be quite informative and motivating. Brands compare themselves based on strategies, market share, and feature sets, but what about the user experience? In this talk, we’ll discuss the unique characteristics of competitive analysis from a UX perspective, ways to think about “the competition” beyond the obvious, and methods for competitive analysis. We’ll also share frameworks for going beyond basic usability comparisons, and common pitfalls to avoid.

Kids say the darndest things1

UXPA International

When we think of UX participants, we typically think of adults, but there's a growing generation of kids who are bypassing their parents in their tech savviness. For companies thinking ahead to new technologies, it makes sense to include the insight of their young audience who will soon question "Why wouldn't I do it that way?" Kids testing and UX research can be fun and insightful, but poses a unique set of challenges. In this session, we'll learn which methodologies work best for kids and some practical tools for making the most out of our time with them.

Pre-Conference Course: Wearables Workshop: UX Essentials - Phillip Likens

UXPA International

Let's go zero to wireframe with wearables! Wearables can be tough to understand and design for, especially if you don’t have experience with the hardware. In one evening we’ll get you up to speed on wearable technology. We’ll talk about two trends, context and continuity, and focus on how those trends will impact the user experience of screen-based wearables. Then we’ll spend the rest of our time getting hands-on by wire framing a smart watch app. In this workshop we will: Explore the world of wearables, and hone in on smart watches. Explore the challenges that come along with screen-based wearables - specifically context and continuity. Get hands-on with smart watches - wireframing a smart watch app with feedback and discussion. You’ll leave this workshop with the skill and knowledge you need to get started designing the UX for smart watches.

UXPA International

Seniors are one of the fastest growing segments accessing the web, and yet, they are often ignored when websites are designed. In our talk, we will explain why including seniors as part of use cases should be a priority. We will also explore who these older users are, what their behavior patterns are, how they access the web, what their physical limitations are, and how those should affect your design decisions. We will be presenting data gathered from published studies, quantitative and qualitative studies we conducted in-house, and sharing best practices. As part of the presentation we will also share a case study of how we built a world-class ecommerce tools aimed at Seniors: our epic fails and big wins and what we learned in the process.

UXPA International

Imagine creating experiences for your rookie designers’ first couple years that are rewarding, enriching, and full of learning — without taking all your time or energy to manage. We’ll share techniques any team leader can put into practice using real-life examples from associate programs, apprenticeships, and internships. Topics include onboarding, varied work challenges, developing multiple capabilities, buddy systems, group sharing, guest speakers, time with executives, and mentorship. We’ll also share how to operationalize learning, soft skills like communication and collaboration, setting boundaries, time management, achieving deep work, and more skills we all wish we were explicitly taught early on. We’ll focus on modern-day associate programs, but even if you can’t create a full-fledged program, you’ll leave this session with ideas to use with your fledgling professionals. The benefits go beyond efficiency; it’s a foundation for culture, camaraderie, autonomy, and mastery.

UXPA 2023: Data science and UX: Smarter together

UXPA International

User experience can be drastically elevated by combining data science insights with user-based insights from research. Data analytics on its own can make themes and correlations difficult to explain and to provide accurate recommendations. For example, themes identified via large global surveys and usage data can be better understood with UX insights from focused user research, such as user interviews and/or cognitive walkthroughs. This presentation will highlight the complimentary nature of data science and UX and will focus on the benefits of bringing the two disciplines together. This will be buttressed with practical examples of enterprise projects and applications that combined data and skills from the two disciplines, guidance on how the two disciplines can better work together, and the skills needed to improve as a UX professional when working with data science teams.

UXPA 2023: UX Fracking: Using Mixed Methods to Extract Hidden Insights

UXPA International

Users do not always accurately describe what they mean or feel. There are many reasons for this, ranging from politeness to poor introspection, to lack of sufficient technical vocabulary. Fortunately, UX researchers have tools in their trade to deduce what was really meant. We call this UX Fracking, a mixed methods approach that is optimized for extracting hidden user insights. We will illustrate the dangers of inadequate, superficial research, and how this may lead to outcomes incapable of addressing the users’ core issues. We will explore ways to avoid these pitfalls by leveraging mixed research methods to test hypotheses about the users’ intent and needs. This starts with a thorough understanding of who the user is, their goals, and how they work today, to an approach that combines surveys, interviews, and comment analysis with behavioral observation, and finally, validating the newly discovered user insights with the users themselves.

This session walks through the concept of user roles as an alternative to personas as a means to generate and disseminate user insights for product development teams. We will describe the tools and methods used to create a research database organized by user roles, along with examples and short exercises to help attendees think through user roles within their own context. By the end of the session, attendees should be aware of tools and approaches for: Organizing user research information in a database Disseminating user role information to product and design teams Managing a user roles database as part of a long term UX Research program If you’re ready to ditch personas but don’t know how, this session is for you!

UXPA 2023: F@#$ User Personas

UXPA International

We will present a case study that details our approach for replacing user personas with user roles for a multi-national SAAS company. We will take the audience on a journey that starts with an executive request for personas, travels through the tribulations of realizing personas suck, and concludes with convincing others to accept a new and innovative way to understand the people who use the product. Our key message is that personas lack real value for organizations that already understand the importance of empathizing with users. Building user-centered products requires easily accessible and well organized user insights. We will discuss defining users through a process of stakeholder consultation and content review, and structuring data around Jobs to Be Done and product interactions. We will also discuss the dissemination of user roles in our organization using relational databases, interactive dashboards and online wikis. Spoiler alert, our stakeholders loved user roles!

UXPA International

Agile Methodology refers to software design and development methodologies centered around the idea of iterative design and development, where requirements and concepts evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams. Thus, Agile enables teams to deliver value faster, with greater quality and predictability, and greater aptitude to respond to change. With evolving product features every design sprint, designers & researchers find it difficult to follow the design process. This sometimes leads to designs delivered in haste or sub-par design artifacts which result in UX debt. UX debt is accumulated when design teams take actions or shortcuts to expedite the delivery of a piece of functionality or a project which later needs to be refactored. It is the result of prioritizing speedy delivery of design to the development team over a perfect experience journey. Experience Maps is a great tool to practice UX in Agile as well as manage UX Debt.

UXPA 2023: High-Fives over Zoom: Creating a Remote-First Creative Team

UXPA International

I started my current job in March of 2020. Many of us remember something clearly about the month that COVID started to shut things down. I remember being surprised to hear that my new on-site-only job would be starting in my living room over zoom. How do you lead a design team when none of the team members live near each other and creativity is highly collaborative? Taking from over a decade of working in HR software, I knew whatever I did needed to put people first. That what employees love about a job is often deeper than the work, it’s the culture, the relationships and people they work with. It’s the feeling that their work has value, and their contribution matters. In this talk I will walk though some of the rituals and best practices I have learned over the last two years building a remote-first creative team.

UXPA International

As humans, we are biased by design. Our intricate and fascinating brains have developed shortcuts through centuries of human evolution. They reduce an unimaginable load of paralyzing decisions, keep us alive, and help us navigate this complex world. Now, these life saving biases affect how we behave with modern technology. Understanding some of the theories and reasons why these biases exist is the key to unlocking their power. In this workshop we will cover some theories around how the brain works. We will review some of our mental shortcuts, take a look at some common biases, and learn how they affect our users, our research, and our designs. Lastly we will review some advantages of biases, and ways to identify and reduce bias. This workshop is targeted for designers who do their own research, and researchers looking to learn more about removing bias from their studies.
