Why Constraints are Good? A Case Study of an Enterprise Agile TransformationMatt Harasymczuk
Agile transformation requires understanding its rules by management. It is hard to leave status quo and change your way of thinking. It is especially hard when the previous model has been in use for many years. A frequent problem with Scrum / Kanban / Lean transformation is to go hard on deep water. Starting tommorow we're doing Scrum. Lack of understanding, communication chaos and rules distortion "just because daily is not working for us". What if take a different approach: slow and prudent? Let say iteratively. Gradually introduce another steps of chosen framework. However the question persists. How to effectively change our conservative organization into agile and constantly changing in response to business needs company?
Distributed Teams - Hello? Can anyone hear me?Growing Agile
In the ideal perfect world there will be rainbows and unicorns and teams that all sit together. In reality, most teams have to deal with distribution in one form or another. For some: it’s team members spread across a building, for others it’s team members in other parts of the world in different time zones.
Have you even been on a call where you can hear someone ordering coffee, or a dog barking? My favorite is being told someone is joining the call, after you've spent 5 minutes explaining something in detail. Mostly distributed meetings are boring, and not really worth the time and effort.
As agile coaches we truly value face to face communication and visible boards and sticky-notes, we also value working from anywhere, having pets in the office and not having to travel. So what is possible here? We decided to fully immerse ourselves into the distributed world and see what happened. We were amazed - we managed to build trust, explore and discover great collaborative tools and we improved communication.
We would like to share some of our discoveries and tips with you. Join us to explore how agile can work for distributed teams.
Are you struggling to integrate User Experience techniques with your agile teams? Are any of these patterns familiar?
The UX team works one sprint ahead of the development team.
UX designers spend lots of energy on high fidelity mock-ups which the developers then ignore.
You produce working software each sprint, but recruiting users is time consuming so you only test with users before you release.
There is no time to incorporate changes from user feedback into the sprints before release.
The UX designers and the developers seem to speak a different language.
Developers get annoyed because the UX design work great on iOS, but clashes with Android standards.
If so join us for a fun interactive session where we use Lego to explore how you can overcome challenges like this in your own environment. You’ll work as a team doing both UX design, and development (with Lego), and see how and why these patterns happen, as well as what you can do about them.
This workshop is ideal for people from both the UX world, struggling to understand how to work with developers, and for developers struggling to understand what UX designers are trying to achieve.

Katy Arnold - Design Maturity: How to have impactNexer Digital
When we talk of design maturity we usually mean the maturity of the organisations in which we operate.
There are a plethora of maturity models, scales, and assessments which we hope will encourage organisational leaders to create the conditions for good design practice to flourish. However, by focussing purely what we’d like others to do, we risk ignoring our role in all of this.
Drawing on her experience building and leading design communities in the UK Government, Katy explores what it really means to achieve design maturity. This talk is about how to achieve genuine co-creation and how opening ourselves up to include the perspectives of others allows us to build credibility and have greater impact.

Natalie Pearce - From CX to EX: Good culture needs good designNexer Digital
Great customer experiences don’t happen by chance. They happen by design. The same goes for great company cultures. This means using human-centred research to understand your employees, their needs and how to motivate them to bring the best of themselves to work. It means putting your values into practice by turning them into measurable behaviours and reinforcing rituals, because great employee experiences begin with liveable values. It means using tried and tested design principles to create employee experiences that are just as amazing as your customer experience, through cleverly designed processes and systems that turn gaps into goals and deliver company-growing action. Want to find out what this means in practice?
In this talk Nat shares her story of going from CX to EX and how ALL designers can contribute to creating better workplaces by turning their skills internally.
Audree Fletcher - Designing in the darkNexer Digital

Sarah Mace - The better your culture, the better your user experienceNexer Digital
Can we ever really deliver great user experiences if the culture behind the service isn't great?
In this talk, Head of Experience Design for LEEDS 2023 Sarah Mace explores the ways that organisational culture directly impacts the end user experience.
"For years now, working on designing products and services has always resulted in me supporting a shift in the team and/or organisation's broader culture and ways of working. To some, the link and necessity seems obvious, but to others it's perhaps a little more of a mystery as to why the 'digital team' are leading large scale change management programmes and in some cases designing new organisational operating models.
The practicalities associated with this link can be tricky. As designers or transformation specialists we are often brought in to 'fix a thing' or 'build something shiny', and there often isn't the awareness of the inevitable need to tackle the blockers that pop up from behind cultural walls.
In this session, I explore this link and why I believe that it's all of our jobs to support stronger, more positive cultures for the employee experience but also for our users' experiences too. We'll ponder on how we do this when it often feels out of our remit and reach. "

Sharon O'Dea and Hanna Karppi - A Human-Centred Future of Work Nexer Digital
Work is becoming more complex, a trend that only looks set to continue in the years ahead. Technology is supposed to help people to get work done, but often it has the opposite effect of adding to that complexity. To make work better and ensure tools support that more complex future we need to design and configure that technology for humans - messy humans with complex working lives.
In this talk, digital strategist Sharon O'Dea and Head of Digital Worklife Strategy at Nexer Group Hanna Karppi share ideas on preparing for the future of work by making it more human-centred. Sharon and Hanna cover the need for insight into employees' needs, the importance of digital employee experience and how digital can help rather than hinder the employees of the future.

In her talk 'We are all technologists now!', Rachel challenges the audience to think about how we can consider our current technologies, and reimagine their uses to benefit society and the planet.
Gerry McGovern - Earth Experience Design (Camp Digital 2022)Nexer Digital
Gerry McGovern is the author of World Wide Waste, and an expert on sustainability and digital.
In his keynote 'Earth experience design' Gerry talks about digital as a world of short-term thinking focused on selling superficial wants, and killing our planet.
"We need wisdom, truth, ethics and an understanding of worth that measures the impacts of our designs at an ecosystem level. We must become champions of maintenance and reuse, rather than this constant, relentless and planetary destructive cool newness and innovation cults. We can design great things with so much less of the earth’s energy. We can be part of highly efficient organizations while using so much less data. Let us not go down in history as Generation Waste, the designers whose proudest moment was to fashion the final nail. If we designed our way into this mess, we can design our way out of it."
Older Adults: Are We Really Designing for Our Future Selves? (BAD Conf. 2022)Nexer Digital
Advice on designing for older people often urges us to consider this audience as our future selves. In one sense, this is helpful, as it fosters empathy with older users. But in another sense, it's misleading — it hints that all of the challenges we face in designing for more senior people now are ones we will face in 20, 30, or even 40 years.
Some design considerations are persistent because they relate to limitations that tend to come upon us as our bodies age. Eyesight dims, colour vision changes, hearing declines, joints lose flexibility, and memory isn't what it used to be. We will all experience some of these changes as we grow older, although at our own pace and in unique ways. And for the foreseeable future, bodies will continue to develop age-related limitations. Older people will always face these challenges simply because they are older, and our designs will always need to accommodate them.
Unfortunately, much of what we read and hear about designing for older adults mixes ageing-body limitations with issues such as comfort with technology, willingness to scroll, or typical online activities. Perhaps people will always become more hesitant to learn new technologies as they grow older and more frustrated when technology doesn't work as they expect. But the specific design considerations will change as technology evolves.
As designers, we need to understand which challenges we will always need to accommodate and which ones will evolve. It all boils down to the difference between challenges people have because they are older — and ones they have because they are older NOW.
This talk will help you understand what advice you can rely on for the long term and what issues you should keep testing for. It will illustrate with examples, including some from my own experience of being an older person who sees some age-related physical changes and is also very comfortable with technology.
This slide deck brings up to date the presentation of the same name that I gave at UX Cambridge in 2016 (and which can be found elsewhere among Nexer's uploads).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
