UXPA 2023: Start Strong - Lessons learned from associate programs to platform...
Imagine creating experiences for your rookie designers’ first couple years that are rewarding, enriching, and full of learning — without taking all your time or energy to manage. We’ll share techniques any team leader can put into practice using real-life examples from associate programs, apprenticeships, and internships.
Topics include onboarding, varied work challenges, developing multiple capabilities, buddy systems, group sharing, guest speakers, time with executives, and mentorship. We’ll also share how to operationalize learning, soft skills like communication and collaboration, setting boundaries, time management, achieving deep work, and more skills we all wish we were explicitly taught early on.
We’ll focus on modern-day associate programs, but even if you can’t create a full-fledged program, you’ll leave this session with ideas to use with your fledgling professionals. The benefits go beyond efficiency; it’s a foundation for culture, camaraderie, autonomy, and mastery.

Digital advances are being made at a rapid-fire pace, yet disability inclusivity continues to fall short of the digital revolution. As the number of people living with disabilities rises, the time to take digital accessibility to the next level is now. Let’s disrupt inaccessibility together! Come hear about a multi-part discovery research and ideation project informing foundational UX designs for our customers. You’ll get insights from our unique study, which are widely applicable across industries, and walk away with tips and inspiration to kick off your own accessibility-focused discovery and ideation. Only YOU can prevent inaccessibility – are you in?

UXPA 2023: Data science and UX: Smarter together
User experience can be drastically elevated by combining data science insights with user-based insights from research. Data analytics on its own can make themes and correlations difficult to explain and to provide accurate recommendations. For example, themes identified via large global surveys and usage data can be better understood with UX insights from focused user research, such as user interviews and/or cognitive walkthroughs. This presentation will highlight the complimentary nature of data science and UX and will focus on the benefits of bringing the two disciplines together. This will be buttressed with practical examples of enterprise projects and applications that combined data and skills from the two disciplines, guidance on how the two disciplines can better work together, and the skills needed to improve as a UX professional when working with data science teams.
UXPA 2023: UX Fracking: Using Mixed Methods to Extract Hidden Insights
Users do not always accurately describe what they mean or feel. There are many reasons for this, ranging from politeness to poor introspection, to lack of sufficient technical vocabulary. Fortunately, UX researchers have tools in their trade to deduce what was really meant. We call this UX Fracking, a mixed methods approach that is optimized for extracting hidden user insights. We will illustrate the dangers of inadequate, superficial research, and how this may lead to outcomes incapable of addressing the users’ core issues. We will explore ways to avoid these pitfalls by leveraging mixed research methods to test hypotheses about the users’ intent and needs. This starts with a thorough understanding of who the user is, their goals, and how they work today, to an approach that combines surveys, interviews, and comment analysis with behavioral observation, and finally, validating the newly discovered user insights with the users themselves.

UXPA 2023: Learn how to get over personas by swiping right on user roles
This session walks through the concept of user roles as an alternative to personas as a means to generate and disseminate user insights for product development teams. We will describe the tools and methods used to create a research database organized by user roles, along with examples and short exercises to help attendees think through user roles within their own context.
By the end of the session, attendees should be aware of tools and approaches for:
Organizing user research information in a database
Disseminating user role information to product and design teams
Managing a user roles database as part of a long term UX Research program
If you’re ready to ditch personas but don’t know how, this session is for you!

UXPA 2023: F@#$ User Personas
We will present a case study that details our approach for replacing user personas with user roles for a multi-national SAAS company. We will take the audience on a journey that starts with an executive request for personas, travels through the tribulations of realizing personas suck, and concludes with convincing others to accept a new and innovative way to understand the people who use the product. Our key message is that personas lack real value for organizations that already understand the importance of empathizing with users. Building user-centered products requires easily accessible and well organized user insights. We will discuss defining users through a process of stakeholder consultation and content review, and structuring data around Jobs to Be Done and product interactions. We will also discuss the dissemination of user roles in our organization using relational databases, interactive dashboards and online wikis. Spoiler alert, our stakeholders loved user roles!

Agile Methodology refers to software design and development methodologies centered around the idea of iterative design and development, where requirements and concepts evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams. Thus, Agile enables teams to deliver value faster, with greater quality and predictability, and greater aptitude to respond to change. With evolving product features every design sprint, designers & researchers find it difficult to follow the design process. This sometimes leads to designs delivered in haste or sub-par design artifacts which result in UX debt. UX debt is accumulated when design teams take actions or shortcuts to expedite the delivery of a piece of functionality or a project which later needs to be refactored. It is the result of prioritizing speedy delivery of design to the development team over a perfect experience journey. Experience Maps is a great tool to practice UX in Agile as well as manage UX Debt.

How to build a UX Department from scratch, in an environment they think UX people do social media posters and posts! An agile implementation just started, and people are moving from a waterfall and ad-hoc mindset to agility. In this session, I will talk about my Journey to establish a UX Department for a company that is part of a global brand, but this local branch just started the digital transformation movement. Challenges like: spreading awareness and educating people about UX, hiring the right team, defining the right team structure, establishing workflow and day-to-day operations, and applying localization (non-western culture).
UXPA 2023: High-Fives over Zoom: Creating a Remote-First Creative Team
I started my current job in March of 2020. Many of us remember something clearly about the month that COVID started to shut things down. I remember being surprised to hear that my new on-site-only job would be starting in my living room over zoom. How do you lead a design team when none of the team members live near each other and creativity is highly collaborative? Taking from over a decade of working in HR software, I knew whatever I did needed to put people first. That what employees love about a job is often deeper than the work, it’s the culture, the relationships and people they work with. It’s the feeling that their work has value, and their contribution matters. In this talk I will walk though some of the rituals and best practices I have learned over the last two years building a remote-first creative team.
UXPA 2023: Behind the Bias: Dissecting human shortcuts for better research & ...
As humans, we are biased by design. Our intricate and fascinating brains have developed shortcuts through centuries of human evolution. They reduce an unimaginable load of paralyzing decisions, keep us alive, and help us navigate this complex world. Now, these life saving biases affect how we behave with modern technology. Understanding some of the theories and reasons why these biases exist is the key to unlocking their power. In this workshop we will cover some theories around how the brain works. We will review some of our mental shortcuts, take a look at some common biases, and learn how they affect our users, our research, and our designs. Lastly we will review some advantages of biases, and ways to identify and reduce bias. This workshop is targeted for designers who do their own research, and researchers looking to learn more about removing bias from their studies.

UXPA 2023: Lessons for new managers
Are you new to UX management, or thinking of getting into management? Then this talk is for you. After reading countless books, attending countless trainings, mentoring and being menteed, nothing quite prepared me for management like my first year. I’ll share with you what I wish they’d told me. I’ll also share my process for generating team research roadmaps, establishing team values, keeping employees motivated, and not burning out.

Join us for an interaction design case study from the automotive industry. We created a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for a vehicle feature that provides household-levels of power in electrical outlets for our customers to use at work and play. This case study will reveal: · Our debate of re-using version 1.0’s HMI vs designing a new user interface for the electric vehicle—when to break with consistency and why? · User research we conducted to guide our early design concept. · Paper prototypes we created to support our usability testing of the concept with vehicle owners. · How we solved internal debate over the interaction design in moving from internal combustion vehicles to electric vehicles. * Advice to help you evangelize user-centered design that is also brand-centered for a new product.
UXPA 2023: Rethinking Design Processes for Inclusion
Ensuring the end product is inclusive can be a challenge, but so can also be the process that was used to design it. How do we make sure that design is just and that people and communities are not inadvertently harmed, on the basis of aspects such as age, background, gender, and race, in the design process by the choices we make as designers? How do we do this especially for new innovative technologies, which we might not know much about? In this session, the speaker will review the common pitfalls of typical design research and development. Then, the speaker will walk through a framework for better design work that is more inclusive and minimizes potential social harm.
UXPA 2023: How We Experience Everything | And How To Design For It
There is a single universal journey common to all experiences we have. Understanding the journey, its two universal outcomes and two universal variables, streamlines (without oversimplifying) the entire UX process. It aligns with how we experience everything.
In this session I will:
Introduce The 4 Stages of Accomplishing Goals – the model that details the universal journey.
Cover the two unavoidable universal outcome.
Cover the two universal variables that have the most impact on how people feel when the experience is over.
Share The 4 Stages of Accomplishing Goals Canvas to use throughout your design process, and how it works within and along your exist practices.
Share how it works with tools and methodologies like Jobs To Be Done (JTBD), Kano Model, Change Management, Root Cause Analysis, behavioral models and more.
This session connects design psychology, strategy, and practical tools for immediate use.

Our research program was going great – happy clients, engaged team – and we were feeling good. Then, overnight, our passionate new leadership challenged us to enact user testing for ALL external facing products, services, and even policy proposals. Unlike many execs, this one has a strong background in UX and described, in detail, the results they wanted to see: Test everything! Reinvent approvals! Have clients do their own testing! No new resources were given, and the deadline was always two weeks ago. While this change affected the entire organization, a lot of the details fell to our small team. This is the story of how we dealt with a seismic change over a few intense months, and the lessons we learned along the way. We had to quickly iterate on how we thought about work, evaluated it, staffed it and who our partners were.
UXPA 2023: Building and Evolving a Design System that Aligns UX Strategy with...
It is well acknowledged that design systems are crucial in ensuring rapid brand scalability, consistency, and cohesiveness. Thinking in systems and strategically is now a required skill. In this presentation, we want to present our journey in implementing our design system, including the difficulties we encountered, but mostly by reviewing it from a strategic and business perspective. We will not delve into the basics of a design system, but rather explain how to get buy-in from the leadership by turning our design system into a business need. Our decisions have all been mostly based on the results and findings obtained from our qualitative and quantitative data. We believe that nowadays design should be data-driven, and first and foremost our design system.
UXPA 2023: Let's Discuss Ethics and Politics in UX
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.

You put a lot of effort into your design, tested it, and users seemed to like it – but after release your product flops, and no one is using it. It’s happened to most of us at least once, and it can be devastating. Understanding why seemingly good designs fail can help us recover from these types of misses or, even better, prevent them in the first place. This presentation will examine some common causes for design failures, using examples and stories from more than 15 years of experience in UX design.
UXPA 2023: How to balance strong user experience with enhanced security withi...
The need for increased security across application development has exploded in recent years, due to the increase in data breaches and associated costs. The challenge of combining UX design and Agile methodologies to develop more secure applications while balancing great user experiences has led to a backlog of vulnerabilities that often overwhelms development and security teams’ ability to fix them in a timely manner. Attendees will learn about design and security challenges, lessons learned, and best practices in designing more secure applications in an agile development environment. They will also learn how to best integrate security into agile and user experience early on using prototypes from past projects and a security marketplace, that was created for downloading security stories into your project management backlog. They will also learn about the user feedback we collected on the security marketplace and how it helped improve security and user experience.
UXPA 2023: How teams hire UX researchers today: A survey of current trends an...
An improved hiring process would benefit most UX teams, but hiring managers have much to consider when deciding how to interview UXR candidates. How many stages of interviews? What are the best activities at each stage? Should we do portfolio reviews, take-home projects, neither, or both? How long should the process take? The interview process is critical to all involved; hiring managers need an approach that accurately assesses a candidate’s skills, and candidates need an opportunity to demonstrate their experience that respects their time. In this presentation, we will review data collected from UXR job-seekers and hiring managers, inspect trends and attitudes of both groups, present an illustrative overview of the “average” UXR interview process, and discuss the implications our findings have for your team.

What are the best activities at each stage? Should we do portfolio reviews, take-home projects, neither, or both? How long should the process take? The interview process is critical to all involved; hiring managers need an approach that accurately assesses a candidate’s skills, and candidates need an opportunity to demonstrate their experience that respects their time. In this presentation, we will review data collected from UXR job-seekers and hiring managers, inspect trends and attitudes of both groups, present an illustrative overview of the “average” UXR interview process, and discuss the implications our findings have for your team.

(ICST 2024)Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!
