Only designers are qualified to craft amazing user experiences, right? We spend years learning, doing, and honing our craft as a reaction to non-designers designing digital things that were difficult to use. But you know what a lot of product managers with little to no design training are now responsible for? The user experience. They do things like talk to users, whip up wireframes and mockups, build interfaces and flows, and determine feature sets and functionality. You know what developers, founders, even executives never stopped doing and don’t think twice about doing? Designing stuff. After years of working as a designer, manager, and developer, Donna finally learned the secret to designing great digital products and user experiences: teach everyone *else* on the team how to do it right and do it well.
Join Donna as she shows you how to inject some pedagogy into your work life so that you can effect change, improve quality, and better create awesome things with a team. See how outsourcing and open-sourcing your job not only fosters an environment of creativity, but renders the designer and design team invaluable and indispensable.

How to be a remote first organization - for FHRD, MaltaLisette Sutherland
Whether we work remotely or not, our companies should have the processes in place to be able to work from anywhere in the event that something were to happen like bad weather or just transportation problems. Being able to effectively work remotely in an anomalous or even emergency scenario is called being “remote first”. And being remote first will strengthen our businesses and makes them less vulnerable to the outside influences that inevitably come our way.
Join us one of the largest technology providers to nonprofits in the world shares inspiring yet actionable insights on how social change organizations are most effectively navigating the new social media landscape given the abundance of information, resources, and potential partners available online.

Connectedness, in both business and society, is a growing behavioral phenomenon that many organisations see as a means to achieve market edge as the world perches on the brink of economic recovery. Leaders from Beyond Digital Media, Woodhead, and UXC Connect will share their unique insight into how these new behavioral collaborative patterns can be used as cues for workplace strategy. Iggy Pintado, author of Connection Generation, will discuss how connection affects our place in society and business and the challenges and opportunities this connectedness presents. Learn about the unique challenges that face large organisations in building super connected workforces whilst still meeting the needs of the traditional workforce. Gain insight into future workplace models and how they will mirror this new phenomenon with specific tools and attributes based around connectivity and authenticity of experience.
Change is today a continuous process, it is no longer a sequence of rare and punctual phenomena. Nothing escapes: Technology, your market, your customers, your competitors, your employees, etc.
To thrive and succeed, your business need to adapt, learn, innovate and transform itself continuously. It will have to become "agile" from left to right, from top to bottom.
The most important of all changes will likely be the evolution of your own leadership style and your ability to learn new skills and inspire your workforce.

Making the most of digital in women's rugby AliDonnelly
I am the editor of Scrumqueens.com - the world's leading independent women's rugby website. I made this presentation (and the notes!) to club representatives in the English game on how they can maximise their use of digital at their clubs. Go HERE scrumqueens.com/features/make-most-digital-top-10-tips for a more thorough overview of what I said.
What did Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, and Rosa Parks have in common? They each had a story that drove them, moved them to action, and ultimately inspired them and those around them to change the world. Each of us has stories that can propel us forward—or hold us back, if we’re not examining our stories with purpose. In this talk, you will learn how story not only flows through successful businesses and careers, but how to harness tools that you already have at your disposal to to identify, optimize, and ultimately bring your best story to life.
Getting others to listen to you is hard. Whether those people are your team members, peers across your organization, the c-suite, or a board up above, you need to inspire them and move them to action to be most effective at your job.
Storytelling is one of the most powerful ways you can get people to listen to you and to move them to action. But in a business context, the stories that you tell are only as effective as the stories that you build… and get others to build with you. We’ll look at how story drives some of the most successful product and service–driven organizations out there. Learn how story sparks systemic design thinking, collaboration, and innovation that enables you to more effectively build successful products and services that people get excited to work on… and use.
Storymapping: A MacGyver Approach to Content StrategyDonna Lichaw
** Authored and presented with Lis Hubert **
Need an organized and prioritized content assessment? Sure you do! Unfortunately, it’s not always possible on a short timeline, with low funds… or is it? What if there was a way to create and facilitate an in-depth assessment of company content with organizations that are short on time and cash? Enter the storymapping approach.
Join Donna and Lis as they take you with them on their journey working with a New York City-based nonprofit to organize, prioritize, and manage program content in no time flat (and with little cash to boot). Instead of working with long research periods and deep-dive content approaches, they offer a creative method using storytelling to helping to map content needs to business and user goals.
In this session you will learn:
• How to do quality content strategy work even when constraints are many
• How to use content strategy to increase your understanding of content, even when you can’t afford fancy resources to help you
• How storymaps can be used across different touchpoints and content areas to improve the user experience.
What does a great experience have in common with a great story? Everything. While creating an experience that engages, influences, and excites can sometimes seem daunting, crafting a great story is actually quite quick and easy.
See how simple storytelling techniques can transform your next product, feature, UI, flow, or strategy from good to great. Whether you are creating a product, service, or feature from scratch or improving one for conversion, activation, or engagement, strategic storytelling will help you figure out what you need to do, when, and how you need to do it, so that you get the results you need.

Flat, Flat World: Depth, Meaning, and Communication in the Modern Mobile UIDonna Lichaw
Confused by flat design? So is Apple. Since the announcement of iOS 7, "flatness" in mobile user interfaces has been a hot topic of conversation. Conversations have spanned from usability to aesthetics, from praise to skepticism. The problem is that since flatness is not and never was just an aesthetic innovation, we are having the wrong conversation. In other words, yes, Apple got it all wrong.
In this talk, we'll learn about the evolution of the modern mobile OS, why and how flatness arose as a solution to what is now a century-old problem of visual representation in the age of technological reproduction. Through this journey, you will learn how and why to design interfaces for touch that are easy to use, elegant, and delightful.
"Bring cookies." As a graduate student at one of the top schools in the country, Donna worked first as a teaching assistant and then as an instructor. Exciting as the prospect was, she and her peers knew how to be students, but not how to teach. "Bring cookies" to your first and last day of class is basically what she learned in her first and only day of teacher training that first year. And you know what? It works.
Since then, Donna has taught countless of courses and workshops at the undergraduate and graduate level as well as continuing education – In this workshop, she shares what she's learned, what works, what doesn't work, as well as general approaches to teaching, teaching designers, and particularly teaching user experience design.
Expert tip: bring cookies.

Resistance is Futile: Google Glass and the Cyborg Workforce of the FutureDonna Lichaw
Google Glass raises a number of questions: Should we design for it? *What* do we design for it? Who will use it? We'll explore how technology like Glass has already been prototyped, anti-prototyped, proven, and disproven for years in film, television, and literature. Learn how to harness these images to answer timely strategy questions and design products and apps able to transform the future.
User Experience Sketching for Lean and Agile TeamsDonna Lichaw
Learn how to turn complex concepts into simple visual forms that can help you evaluate ideas, products, and features quickly and effectively, before you jump into expensive pixels and code. By sketching first, you can weed out bad ideas before they progress while pursuing ones that are stickier, more engaging, and ultimately more impactful.
Prototyping is essential to designing memorable mobile user experiences, but can often be overlooked at the beginning of building a product. Learn the types of prototypes, tools, and best practices for mobile product design (including overview of mobile flow and UI best practices, patterns, and frameworks).

These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
