More people are shopping and doing business on mobile devices than ever before. The burgeoning market of smartphones, tablets and phablets combined with increasingly faster network speeds has led to the prediction that mobile devices will surpass desktop devices for browsing, shopping and connecting online by 2015. Last year alone, mobile payments increased by 190% -- a stastistic that will seem tiny when compared to 2013 growth. Are you prepared to satisfy these mobile bound customers? Your answer to this critical question may determine whether your business is going to thrive or dive over the next five years.

When considering what makes a great product designer we often make the mistake of lumping a wide range of skills under one role. This might make writing a job description easier but it makes it harder to focus on what needs to be done and how to get the best out of product design roles. Identifying the right skills for the right role, and aligning that with the product vision is of critical importance. In this workshop, we’ll be focusing on the day to day skills a designer needs to have to address the challenges in a world of ever-evolving products.
What activities will you be participating in during this workshop?
- Explore the evolving role of the product designer.
- Understanding where your company sits on the product design and digital evolution scale, and what this means for you.
- Learn how high-performing product teams align their product vision, strategy and priorities to deliver results.
- Develop a model to reliably select the right priorities and metrics to measure the performance of your product design
- Understanding how to use customer feedback to drive results and unblock obstacles.
- Learn how to work with others on your team to navigate through the inevitable challenge of change.
What will you take away from this workshop?
Lifelong skills in understanding product design and how it fits into an organization. Flexible and versatile models for managing your path through fast-changing organizations and dynamic product environments. Product design management skills to build a stronger team whether you’re an individual contributor or a team leader. The knowledge that will help you find a better fit, or better role, in your current or future organization.
Sex, Drugs and The Infinite Scroll: The biology behind engaging design. fresh tilled soil
Designing product for optimal engagement is challenging. This talk looks at how human biology can provide us with clues as to how people relate to products and experiences.

How the Best Design Leaders Get to the Top: Insights into the Top Design Stud...fresh tilled soil
What makes a leader of a digital design team successful? How do they build the best possible team? What was their journey? What is their approach to culture, process and management? What are the core factors that influence their decisions? For a long time Richard Banfield has been fascinated by Digital Design Leadership, so he made it the focus of a two-year long study. The objective of the study was to gain insights into what makes leaders of successful digital design studios and digital product companies different from the rest. He is half-way through the study and so far and has interviewed 50+ studio founders, digital product company CEOs, and product leads. The interviews have already taken him to Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Portland, Boulder, Denver, NYC, Austin, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco, Jacksonville, Bristol, Boston, London and Madrid. In this talk, Richard will share what he has learned so far and will begin to reveal the patterns of how we can all mimic this success.
