Designing the User Experience
User Experience Professionals Association (UXPA) defines user experience in this way:
Every aspect of the user’s interaction with a product, service, or company that make up the user’s perceptions of the whole. User experience design as a discipline is concerned with all the elements that together make up that interface, including layout, visual design, text, brand, sound, and interaction.
Additionally, the UX designer has the goal of making this user experience usable, useful, desirable, valuable, findable, credible and accessible. That’s a lot to keep in mind!
In this talk, Jason and Nadine will explain how UX designers gain an understanding of their users’ tasks (and the way they think about them), how they use this knowledge to design better UIs and better content, and finally how these designs are validated and evolved over time as users continue to interact with the product.
We’ll also briefly describe the deliverables often used by designers to communicate their work to clients, and how best to prepare yourself for engaging a user experience design agency to contribute to your product design process.

The sourcing function in any company is an important one. I like to call it the engine that drives your hiring. From an RPO perspective (or sourcing team for that matter), you can’t afford to be building your car while you are driving it down the road. In this webinar, I will discuss some strategies around the sourcing function to give you ideas on how to build or enhance your sourcing team, roadblocks to be aware of and lessons learned from my experience. We will look at scenarios on what works and what doesn’t. From a tactical standpoint, I will discuss some tools/resources that are instrumental in a sourcing department as well as some insight into what job boards, databases, and data mining tools work best. Every company is not the same and will need to evaluate what works best to attract the right type of candidates. Recruiters can be more efficient and productive when they have a strong sourcing team aligned correctly to the business. It allows them to focus more on ensuring the right candidates are being put in front of your hiring teams and less time is spent on interviewing.

ATI's Quantitative Methods course: Bridging Project Management and System Eng...Jim Jenkins
This 3-day course is de¬signed for the professional program manager, system engineer, or project manager engaged in technically challenging projects where close technical collaboration between engineering and management is a must. To that end, this course addresses major topics that bridge the disciplines of project management and system engineering. Each of the selected topics is presented from the perspective of quantitative methods. Students first learn a theory or narrative, and then related methods or practices. Ideas are demonstrated that are immediately applicable to programs and projects. Attendees receive a copy of the instructor’s text, Quantitative Methods in Project Management.
Most agile approaches focus on collecting requirements in a backlog then delivering iteratively. Yet, how do you get that point? The traditional path to turn a vision into an approved project is usually a ‘not so agile process.’ Agile challenges the status quo. This session will look at applying an agile approach to the inception phase (before iteration 0) where you take a vision/roadmap and turn it into an agile project.

How do you, as a learning professional, affect these components? You\'ll explore how the direction and guidance you provide in these areas affect overall projects and success of new processes, ERP roll outs and training delivery in your organization.
