Interactive systems can be easily made foolproof and practical, but joy and delight all too often elude the final product. This author of two books on design process and interactive patterns has discovered that strict adherence to these same processes or patterns can result directly in functional, but ultimately boring interactive products. In this discussion, you will learn how to avoid the safe answer, while still embracing proven patterns, best practices and user feedback. You will also discuss how to recognize this problem, the principles to avoid these pitfalls, and how to implement tactics to encourage innovative design for your users, and that works within your organization.
Design Thinking: engage customers like never before.
Inconsistent customer interactions. Undifferentiated touch points. Indifferent customers. If these are business challenges you are facing, it’s time to take a closer look at the customer journey that your business is providing.
Join us in a hands-on, interactive session that will introduce you to a new way of thinking. Design Thinking is a user centric problem-solving mindset that combines empathy, rationality and creativity, and keeps the end-user of your product/service at the center of the design process.
These techniques are being used by the world’s most prolific innovators to deliver powerful interaction experiences across the entire customer journey.
What we covered within the workshop:
1) The basic foundations and benefits of Design Thinking as an innovation process.
2) How to start integrating Design Thinking ideas and techniques into your daily customer interactions.
3) How to use Design Thinking to draw customer journey maps and gain actionable insights.
Quick guide to the Design sprint.
The sprint is a five-day process for answering critical business questions through design, prototyping, and testing ideas with customers. Developed at Google Ventures, it’s a “greatest hits” of business strategy, innovation, behavior science, design thinking, and more — packaged into a battle-tested process that any team can use.

6 to 106 in 4 years - The story of the Atlassian Design teamAlastair Simpson
4 years ago Atlassian had 6 designers. Fast forward to today and the design team numbers 106. Building and managing a design team of this size is one thing, integrating it successfully into a traditionally engineering led organisation is another.

Setting Course: Design Research to Experience RoadmapJason Ulaszek
Presented by Jason Ulaszek and Brian Winters at Interactions '13 on January 28th, 2013.
Have you ever been enlisted by your company or client to create a consumer “vision” for the evolution of their product or service? As design-thinking principles and activities continue to become centerstage in transforming business models, creating new products and services to meet consumer and market demand, we'll be counted on to leverage our skill to help inform business direction.
So, how do you do it?
Design research is critical. Creating foundational, living documentation about the needs, beliefs and behaviors of your customer is of the utmost importance. And, being able to identify needs, opportunities and the future direction for the business, based on both sound process and analytical thought, will be your keys to short and long-term success.
In this session you'll learn how to turn design research activities into a mental model, identify potential new business opportunities and derive business and experience direction from your newly found consumer insight. And, you'll look like a freakin' rockstar in your company doing it.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a one-person freelancer, a budding 5-10 person agency, or an established small to mid-sized company - you will always contend with the challenges of growth. This month, key employees from Raleigh-based web shop Atlantic BT (ABT) will share their experiences on how to build and maintain a foundation for growth in light of pressures from increasing demand.
COO, Software Development Manager, and Creative Director will share some patterns that triggered growth, and how each handled them.
The elements of product success for designers and developersNick Myers
All software, whether it's for consumers or workers, needs to meet the ever growing demands people have in today’s world. Greater user expectations and influence are forcing companies to create and deliver better products, but not every organization has a rich heritage in software creation like tech giants Apple and Google. Most companies need to be more customer-focused, become design specialists, and transform their cultures as they shift to become both software makers and innovators.
Myers, head of design services at Cooper, will share the elements of product success that companies need to possess and be market leaders: user insight, design, and organization. Myers will share principles and techniques that successful innovative companies use to truly understand their customers. He’ll also discuss the methods effective designers use to support their customers and create breakthrough ideas and delightful experiences. And he’ll finish by sharing the magic formula organizations need to deliver ground-breaking experiences to market.

Agile was supposed to inspire innovation and reduce waste. However all too often, the actual development process more closely resembles the waterfall approach that we were trying to escape all along. So how do you effectively integrate experience design within an agile environment, to solve problems, drive innovation and make impactful changes?
Many of us learned design thinking in a contained environment, likely by attending a workshop or a sponsored session by a design organization like IBM Design or AIGA. As a matter of learning, that's great. But it can lead you to believe that design thinking only happens in a workshop. However, I'd like to propose a different approach, one that I call "grassroots design thinking", the basis of which suggests that the workshop is not the most atomic element of design thinking effectiveness. When you do design thinking at a more granular, grassroots level you, in fact, have a powerful tool to win over naysayers and critics.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
