SDL added strategists to a UX team (UX STRAT Europe 2015)Peter Boersma
This presentation shows how UX strategists contribute to the way SDL helps the world's best brands deliver exceptional customer experiences. Using several of our enterprise software product releases as examples, Peter shows how he and his fellow UX strategists are promoting service design and design thinking, how they develop visions and roadmaps for products and cross-product capabilities, and how they collect user and usage data.

What I learned from 200 projects (Amsterdam UX)Peter Boersma
Focussing on teamwork, deliverables and processes, I walked the audience through a selection of projects from my 20 years of experience with designing interactive systems, sharing the lessons that I learned the hard way, and showing how some things in design agencies have changed while others have stayed exactly the same. I hope that some of the lessons resonate with the audience, and that the models I include (like the T-model, or overviews of where UX can live in organizations) helps them reflect on their practice and consider improvements to the way they design.

A quick overview of my professional and theoretical work to date within the architectural field. Example projects range from feasibility and schematic design through to construction documentation in a practical context, and a sample of university design projects.
In today’s fast changing markets, companies need to respond quickly by adapting their technologies, communication, and processes to new demands, services and consumer types. Nowadays, real-life performance and overall user experience of a product or system is not just important, but a key factor for success and even for survival. Let’s talk about usability!

Peter Boersma's presentation at IDC Prague (http://webexpo.net/idc2014/) entitled "What I learned from, oh, I don't know, around 200 projects". By going through my employment history at 7 interactive agencies plus my short freelance period, I gave the audience an overview of skills, team markup, the place of UX departments in the organization, deliverables and design processes and how they changed over time.

With over three years experience in architectural design, I have exceptional skills and experience in planning, detailing and interior design . In addition to excellent communication, public relations, problem-solving and leadership skills.
