The Better by Design Service Shakedown was held at the Lighthouse, Glasgow on 26 November. Better by Design is a Big Lottery funded programme that aims to introduce the methods and mindset from the field of design to improve the social impact and sustainability of Scotland’s third sector.
This keynote was given by Marissa Louie, Principal Designer at Yahoo!
Abstract:
There are millions of web sites and apps that exist, yet only a few of them are accessed on a regular basis. How do we design products that keep users coming back for more? The answer is simple – we integrate emotion into our designs.
In this presentation, Marissa Louie will teach us:
Emotional themes: What gets users hooked
Emotional toolbox: Design elements that make your users feel great
How to integrate positive emotions to influence behavior and increase user engagement
How to add personality to a product

Meet Marissa
Marissa Louie is a UI, UX, and Product Designer whose designs have been experienced by over 1 billion users. She is a Principal Designer at Yahoo!, where she has led design efforts in Search and Homepage and Verticals. She founded First Designer Co., a design community that supports designers with mentorship, design critiques, and job opportunities.
She has been an iOS Art Director at Apple, Product Designer at Ness Computing (acquired by OpenTable and now part of Priceline.com), and Co-founder of three tech startups. Her work has won numerous awards, including Apple's App Store Best of 2012 for Ness Computing.
Transformational experiences have been studied for many years, especially in the events industry where consumers regularly pay to attend experiential events. Joseph Pine, the author of The Experience Economy, writes about the process of capturing attention to cultivate a transformative. The highest level of meeting engagement invokes a transformational experience for attendees. While this may seem like an experience reserved for a weekend of inspirational seminars or a retreat, this chapter will encourage you to think about meetings as mini-transformational opportunities.
How can an industry that places empathy at the core of its practice ignore the big problems facing South Africa and the continent? In a rapidly changing design landscape will UX designers even be relevant in the future? UX designers exist at a unique interdisciplinary juncture and it gives us the opportunity to create inspiring responses to these questions. With the maturity of design thinking, social innovation, and lean startup, we are uniquely placed to re-apply our skills to find new relevance and greater impact in doing work that matters. But taking action is not easy, even if it can be known what is to be done. In this talk David will explore the new mindsets, skills and attitudes UX designers need to adopt to shift from merely doing design to becoming design activists.
There’s a process in psychology called “priming” that’s helpful in meeting scheduling. Priming is a powerful tool for meeting hosts because it helps to influence the way meeting participants will associate their role in association with the proposed meeting. Research shows that priming can influence someone to walk more slowly by having them read words such as “patient,” “polite,” or “respectful.” So, prime your meeting participants to be excited for an upcoming meeting using words such as “impressive” or “tremendous.” Depending on the type of presentation you’re planning, consider priming your meeting attendees with a catchy title or an associated image attached to the meeting invitation.
All businesses are in a constant state of change. In The Grid, author Matt Watkinson, explains why the traditional way of studying business as a static system is ineffective. Traditionally Watkinson says that businesses like to “break things down into small pieces, and then study them in isolation.” While your organization may see strong results from hosting many small meetings with dedicated teams, it’s often difficult for these small groups to see the bigger picture. In reality, all businesses are interconnected systems where one decision affects other areas of the system. Managers need to remain tapped into the collaboration efforts of their team members to look for overarching cause-and-effect scenarios that can result from small team decisions. This is why large “all hands” update meetings are also important for connecting departments under a common vision.

Design will never be the same
De steeds complexere uitdagingen waar onze samenleving mee te maken heeft vragen om intelligente oplossingen. Dit thema is nu actueler dan ooit. We hebben ideeën nodig die relevant zijn voor individuen en tegelijkertijd invloed hebben op het collectief. Om dit mogelijk te maken hebben we ontwerpers nodig die complexiteit omarmen en ontwapenen.
De ontwerper van de toekomst
De ontwerper van de toekomst is in staat nieuwe oplossingen te bedenken die tegemoetkomen aan de belangen van individuele stakeholders en drijfveren zijn voor transformatie. Hij moet tegelijkertijd grenzen verleggen, impact bewerkstelligen, visie en leiderschap tonen.
Nieuwe ontwerpers zijn deskundig en creatief. Het zijn verhalenvertellers én ondernemers. Ze weten hoe ze een mensgerichte aanpak moeten hanteren in technologiegedreven situaties. Ze zijn de drijvende kracht achter veranderingen in bedrijven, non-profitorganisaties en start-ups.
Zij zijn in staat om ideeën tot leven te brengen in de echte wereld, zijn verantwoordelijk en moedig, zonder terug te deinzen voor grote uitdagingen.
We are proud to announce our twenty-first Innovation Excellence Weekly for Slideshare. Inside you'll find ten of the best innovation-related articles from the past week on Innovation Excellence - the world's most popular innovation web site and home to 5,000+ innovation-related articles.
Presenter: John Murray, Design Lead, IBM
I want this talk to empower people minorities and people of color and help them to understand the potential they have. I want them to walk away proud of their background, not just as minorities, but as individuals whose diverse experiences, both personally and professionally, give them the potential to be incredible leaders - more patient and understanding leaders - whose voices can shape the people and industries they work with.
It doesn't matter if you went to a four-year college, a community college, or a coding bootcamp for six months, if you're really good at what you do, in my case that's design, then embrace the diversity of what you've learned along the way, and use it to propel you further into your career.
The Design Mind: Design Thinking Strategies for Facilitating Growth and Perfo...Aggregage
Design thinking is at the root of creative success. Seriously! But do you know how to shift your mindset and creative process – as well as that of your team – to create and ideate in ways that are truly innovative? The most inspired and innovative teams and individual designers need to be a part of a culture that enables forward-thinking, acceleration, and efficiency. It’s a combination of creative, analytical, and collaborative approaches that produce results.

2. Problem
Graphic Designers work invisibly as middlemen
between the originators of a project and its
intended audience. Few laypeople can name a
single graphic designer, while plenty can name
other "behind-the-scenes" professionals like
architects and movie directors.
3. Hypothesis
In order to break free of this frustrating role as
a silent communicator, designers must begin to
participate as more than masters of
communication. They must take command of
and responsibility for the very outcomes of
their projects, leading others through not just
effective communication, but rather leading
toward the measurable change sought to be
achieved by that communication.
4. Effect
With this added responsibility as leaders, by
taking a holistic view of their designs and adding
a component of measurability of effective
outcomes, designers can evolve their profession
beyond one of being graphic aestheticians who
have no concern with or follow-through to
final results.
5. Creative References
“The designer… has a passion for doing
something that fits somebody’s needs, but that
is not just a simple fix. The designer has a
dream that goes beyond what exists, rather
than fixing what exists… the designer wants to
create a solution that fits in a deeper situational
or social sense.”
– David Kelley, Founder of IDEO, in Bringing Design to Software by Terry Winograd
