Panelists from multiple industries and experiences will share perspectives on how ethics and business politics can impact UX research and design. It’s a big topic, but we hope to touch the surface of a broad range of situations and context. Ideally, corporate ethics should require permission and transparency around data mining practices and product design, and opt in and permissions should be clear and avoid the use of dark patterns, however, we have all encountered situations where this is not the case. Additionally, business politics can worm their way into UX decisions, influencing not only what research is done, but also how it is disseminated and used. Further, protection of participants’ rights and privacy is a key concern, as well as practices around representation and inclusion. We will share stories about our experiences across all these dimensions, our thoughts on best practices, and facilitate an audience discussion via Sli.do.

Presentation by Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Information Technology Services (ITS) leadership team at 2023 Cal State Tech conference. Presented By: Brian W. Spolarich, Director of Application, Data, & Integration Services Bret Heenan, Director of Service Strategy & Portfolio Management Matt Weber, Director of Client Services Tim Schmidt, Director of Infrastructure & Platform Services Wes Love, Organizational Improvement & Transformation Specialist Abstract: Cal Poly San Luis Obispo ITS has been on a transformational journey to become a service-oriented IT organization. But what exactly does it mean be a "service-oriented IT organization"? Don't all IT organizations strive to provide good service? Hear how--and why--we undertook this change, the intentions behind it, the methods and approaches we used, and the key outcomes we have seen so far. Also hear how two key events, the COVID pandemic and centralization of IT staff and services on campus, proved the critical importance of this work, renewed our commitment to it, and has shaped our path forward. Recent statistics are demonstrating our success: 84% of help requests answered at Tier 1 82% of help requests initially responded to within service level objectives 85% of help requests resolved within service level objectives 4.92/5.0 client satisfaction rating IT organizations often talk about the combination of “people, process, and technology” as being essential to any outcome. We will also share how we incorporated a deliberate focus on organizational culture into this change, and share stories of the victories, and the challenges, we encountered along the way. Limited

Hear from an experienced investigator on what makes a good investigation, when to find someone else to do the investigation, and what to do after an investigation.
