At T. Rowe Price’s Innovation Lab, the mission is to reimagine the investing experience through zero-based design (ZBD). Experience designers are the voice of the customer and also the voice of employees. It’s important to use design thinking and UX to discover a great solution that solves both sides of the problem while championing the VoC. This workshop will form VoC and VoB teams to work through the ZBD process to gather pain-points, vote, create a lot of solutions quickly, vote, converge ideas and then, yes, vote some more, on the favorite solutions. The workshop will end with each group presenting their innovative solution… but not until after a twist!

Your website visitors arrive on your site, look around, read a bit, navigate and often take an action of some kind while there. The mountain of data available from web analytics, behavioral analytics, IP detection and more provides businesses with useful information to make a brand’s digital experiences better. However, data is meaningless unless you go beyond the “what” to understand the “why.” What’s needed are insights into the human mind and mapping these to the customer journey. Take a deeper approach to data utilization that can yield remarkable insights into your audience and breakthrough ideas for strengthening your relationship with your customers.

Boston UXPA 2016 | What’s Worse: A Root Canal or Selecting Health InsuranceBecky Minervino
Why is selecting Health Insurance so painful? From the myriad of carrier choices to the endless amount of forms to the lack of transparency around what you’re are signing up for, the complexity around benefits selection is frustrating for both employees and employers. In order to make this process easier for everyone involved, Fidelity and BEAM set out to re-design this experience — taking an agile and collaborative approach to understanding how to make the process of selecting and managing health insurance better.
We'll talk about how we leveraged a variety of best practices and user-centered approaches to tackle this complex problem. This includes:
• Understanding the different constituents within the current Health Insurance experience: employees, employers, brokers and carriers;
• Our approach to understanding individual needs through interviews with benefits administrators across a variety of organizations;
• Distilling findings and incorporating design-sprints to arrive at “just enough” concepts en route to a full MVP;
• Validating concepts through prototyping and co-design with users to refine the experience;
• What worked well and what we are doing for the next phase of work.

What elements are key to manage and protect a global digital presence of hundreds of sites and social media channels? How do you ensure that governance is perceived as an enabler and not as an obstacle that limits creativity?
Hint: it is not only about the rules it is about tools, knowledge and tons of communication.
Marketers have more data available than ever but struggle to pull in together in a usable format. Customer Data Platforms promise to solve this problem by offering easy-to-deploy systems specializing in data unification and sharing. But can CDP really deliver on its promise? This workshop will equip you to understand the definition of a CDP, how CDPs differ from other systems, which features are shared by all CDPs and which are found in only some, the most important CDP use cases, how to select the right CDP, how to manage a successful deployment and where to look next for more information.
Digitization has impacted every aspect of products and services. This elevates the importance of enabling a seamless user experience, through in-product user assistance tools to defining the mobile presence and everything else in between. This session walks you through building a UEx strategy for in-product navigation, self-help modules and the impact on rate of adoption and overall customer success.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is getting lots of attention but one key aspect is often overlooked, understated, or underestimated: the quality of “training” information and the structure of that information – the Information Architecture or “IA”. AI only works when it has the data it needs to spot trends, identify patterns and provide functionality – especially when it comes to chatbots and other so called “cognitive” technologies. While many recent high profile attempts at chatbots have failed, they are getting better and one day will be indispensable. Organizations need to do certain things to prepare for a future of bots and AI-driven processes. This session will outline what that looks like and how organizations can solve problems today while preparing themselves for a future where businesses will succeed or fail based on the power of their bots.
Customer Data Platforms offer hope to customer experience managers struggling with disconnected data. But many are still unsure what CDPs are, what they can do and, just as important, what they won’t do. With the latest research on CDP industry growth and trends and case studies, you’ll leave this session with a clear understanding of CDP strengths and weaknesses, situations where CDP is the right solution, how CDP relates to the rest of your marketing stack, requirements for successful CDP deployments, ways to find the best CDP for your business and the truth behind common CDPs myths.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. 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.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

8. ABOUT
As a young mom of two with a burgeoning career at Under Armour, Kim is all about laying a firm financial
foundation for her family. She and her husband both already auto-transfer portions of their paychecks into
retirement plans, but Kim wants to become more involved in growing her portfolio. While astute, engaged, and
hungry for more information, Kim also has an independent streak that keeps her from working directly with a
money manager.
Kim wants to feel like she understands all of her options, and isn’t being pressured into plans or options that
aren’t in her best interest. She’s in it for the long haul, and wants to feel informed and in control.
SCENARIO
Kim recently earned a promotion and a $15k end of year bonus. She wants to split her bonus between
existing mutual funds and add promising new funds to her portfolio. She’s not sure how to best divide
her contributions, nor what new funds may complement her existing portfolio.
TECHNOLOGY
• Primarily uses laptop or mobile to do banking
• Would be interested in some sort of “wizard” to help her learn and step through investing.

17. Write down
the activities in
your journey
5 MIN.
Do this individually...
Write out each activity on a separate
post-it for your end-to-end journey
Think about the steps you take before,
during, and after
18. Map out

19. Name the
phases of your
journey
Create 4 main themes
for your journey
5 MIN.
20. Identify
pain points
(This is actually, the main
reason we are here.)
Ask users to individually write out pain
points for each of the phases
Add to the Journey Map
You may need to ask “why?” and probe
deeper into possible frustrating areas
Have users vote on pain points they feel
are the most painful
10 MIN. (+ 5 MIN. FOR VOTING)
21. Solution
time!
(But... this is the most fun
for the participants!)
Focus on solving for pain points
with the most votes
Four Step Sketching:
• Gather info take notes
• Rough solution sketches (go for quantity)
- Remember: One idea per post-it
- Map out as “Must-Haves,” “Nice-to-Haves,” “Wows”
- Vote on favorite solutions with stars
• “Crazy 8’s” on a favorite idea
• Storyboard to expand on a single solution
(Yes, you have to draw it out...)
25 MIN.
25. Time for a
twist!
Let’s get totally crazy!
It’s hard to iterate one idea 8 times.
Sometimes we need to push the users in the
workshop...
But, how?
Pick a card or two and try to solve your
problem like you are solving for an innovative
company or a new requirement.
