This talk explores how metrics are used to shape and influence product design work. It covers the power of storytelling and narrative in design, personal expression, how to avoid “vanity” metrics, and identifying measures of behavioral actions that are relevant to your work.
Most business solutions have different interfaces for the primary users and internal customers or end-users. One reason is the differing amounts of functionality these two groups require.
But today, users at all levels of technical expertise are becoming accustomed to simple user interfaces on their smartphones and in the software products they use, like Gmail and Facebook. This familiarity with good interface design is changing UI expectations for some IT users.
Explore how UX/UI is critical to business and design innovation.

DesignOps supports design teams (Interaction'23)Peter Boersma
Recently, several responsibilities of design managers, particularly those that focus on improving the organization of design work, have been re-assigned to DesignOps specialists. By now, the field of DesignOps has its own communities, conferences, and education programs.
This talk gives an overview - and some details - of how DesignOps specialists can support design teams and is based on the presenter’s experience as someone who has had the DesignOps mindset forever, who needed DesignOps services for his teams, and who has had the role of DesignOps Manager at Miro.
DesignOps and the design of efficient teams: the metrics and the processes th...Patrizia Bertini
How efficient is your design team?
Do you know which are the most time consuming tasks for your team? And how are you measuring your team’s efficiency?
As Design teams grow both in size and scope, it is important to ensure that the operation is seamless operation and the ways of working can empower designers to work and collaborate easily. Yet today, in many teams, there are a number of invisible and hidden inefficiencies.
Understanding those inefficiencies, quantifying their impact, and identifying the biggest opportunities for the teams and the business is what DesignOps does, and these are the topics of this presentation.
Because efficient design teams do not happen. They are designed.
Originally presented at the Future of Web Design in San Francisco, Patrick Neeman talks about the different stages of the User Experience career path and where the opportunities lie for designers to grow and succeed.

Torrey Podmajersky (Speaker) UX Writer, Google
Words can work as hard as any other part of the UX to drive engagement, conversion, and retention. The content can be as consistent as the navigational elements, and convey the brand as clearly as the color palette. But even though we know better, most UX teams leave the words until the end of the process, only writing them when lorem ipsum can’t take the designs any farther. In this talk, Torrey shares how the text can align with customer goals and business priorities from the beginning, meet quality goals, and make a measurable impact. You’ll see: - Where UX writing fits in (and how it’s different from) other kinds of content - A framework to align UX content voice to business principles - Methods for measuring the impact of content on customer and business goals

Maebh Costello, Director of UX Design Labs, McKesson
Building the first UX team in a global business is very exciting. But handling the resultant demand for the team's multidisciplinary skill set is challenging. I quickly realised that you cannot scale a team by hiring only. I needed to think differently. I needed to use Design Thinking to explore how might we share my team's resources with our primary users, software developers. We re-envisioned how we share our design resources. This innovation leads to the creation of cutting edge technical solutions, enabling developers to access and use the design resources in their development environments. Learn how we at McKesson's global UX design labs team used this strategy to invigorate our workflow and scale.
Key Takes:
Design Thinking works, don't be afraid to use it on yourself and your team.
Make the most of your design resources such as Design Systems and UX Writing Style guides.
Bring design resource to the users environment.
Scale your UX Design team with design thinking.
Developed a comprehensive UX writing roadmap, elucidating the value that UX writing brings and providing a clear blueprint for its successful execution
Do-it-yourself toolkit to audit the user experience of your products and services.
We know that UX is too important for every business to be ignored.
But we recognize that not all businesses have a dedicated team or person in-house to do this, or have the budget to hire consultants.
This DIY toolkit provides a step-by-step guide for anyone to do a simple experience audit.
How to use Business Model Canvas to design projectsJörgen Dahlberg
A project is a delivery format for change acceleration and gives people and organizations possibilities to focus on a specific result with a specific timeline and dedicated resources. The key to success as we believe is to actually use the same design pattern as we do when we design companies and organizations, namely the Business Model Canvas.
UX STRAT Online 2020: Victoria Sosik, VerizonUX STRAT
Demand for UX insights is higher than ever--as UX Researchers, we’ve become “victims of our own success.” While a cause for celebration, with it comes challenges managing bandwidth, prioritizing work, and being viewed as a bottleneck in the design process. For this reason, we began exploring a program to democratize Design Research at Verizon. In this talk, I’ll walk through our approach, our decisions around which types of research to democratize, and how we’re striking the balance between democratization and control. I’ll also reflect back on our early experiences with the program and where we plan to go in the future.

How to use Big Data to drive product strategy and adoptionUXPA International
Today, billions of activities and interactions happen online. The level of interactions with online applications are getting more complex as well. Within the UX, we have the opportunity to understand collective behavior and various experiences through big data.
Specifically, large scale and strategical directions to products can be determined and evaluated through big data behavioral analysis. In this talk, I will go through various types of research objectives, appropriate methodologies and explain how we can use quantitative methodologies to solve UX and user behavior problems and drive product strategy. In this presentation, I will go through a couple of example case studies and topics where behavioral data can help us better understand users and inform strategic product development.

Chunky Learning on Slender Timelines [ITX Beyond the Pixels, Portland OR 2019]Kate Rutter
The UX field continues to evolve, and the tools and skills we need to perform our jobs with it. Seasoned professionals are often strapped for time and struggle to incorporate learning new skills into their schedules, while early-career teammates may have knowledge of the latest and greatest but lack overall experience and take time to onboard. Where can we find a sweet spot that allows teams to grow their skills and experiences together?
In this conference talk, Kate shares a model for creating a culture of continuous learning in companies, discusses leading a successful UX adult learning program based on a framework of how people learn, and give concrete examples of learning tools you can apply immediately in your organization.

This deck is from the sketchnote workshop part of the "Let's Sketch Tech" online meetup. Sketch-noting instruction was followed by the lightning talk, "Why AI Thinks You’re a Toaster (and Why You Should Care)" by IBM Watson engagement lead, B Cavello. After a short round of post-noting, we had an online gallery to share the work. Check the Tagboard at https://tagboard.com/letssketchtoaster/473159 for the work.
Sketchapalooza [UX Week 2018, August 2018]Kate Rutter
In this workshop at UX Week 2018, participants got hands-on with pen and paper to unleash the power of sketching. From design research to ideation to prioritization to communicating design directions, imagery and hand-created artifacts are effective ways to dramatically improve ideas and increase understanding and stakeholder buy-in.
We surveyed the low-fidelity sketching landscape, exploring practices like graphic recording, sketchnoting, urban sketching, lettering, scenario sketching and sketching screens & UI. And we got hands-on to develop and enhance our visual vocabulary and practiced sketching to think vs. sketching to communicate. (Spoiler: they are not the same thing.)
What topics were covered?
* When and why to sketch
* How sketching amplifies and improves UX work
* A summary of practices and methods, including graphic recording, sketchnoting, observational sketching, symbolic sketching, scenarios, storyboards, interfaces and flows.
* The tools of the trade and when/how to use them
* Sketching basics and tricks to work fast and accurately
* Sketching to think vs. sketching to communicate
* How to match the right level of fidelity for the right level of feedback
* Collaborative sketching and group participation
Informative Architecture [World IA Day 2017, San Francisco]Kate Rutter
Talk given at World IA Day, 2017 in San Francisco. Recent years have been a whirlwind for user experience design, and IA has ridden shotgun all the way. With the proliferation of digital products, smart devices, and inventive technologies that both produce and consume information, we have our work cut out for us. But maybe we've lost sight of the fundamentals that form the foundations of our work? In this talk, we'll reconnect with the core principles and practices needed for IA to flourish in the years ahead.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
