January 25, 2016 — Für viele Projekte braucht es lediglich einen Bruchteil der Funktionalität und des Codes sogenannter “Premium”-Themes oder Frameworks – denen dafür andere, wichtige Features oft fehlen. Um die Projektanforderungen und das gewünschte Design entsprechend umzusetzen, ist es dann deutlich sinnvoller, ein individuelles Theme zu entwickeln. Die Anwender erhalten so ein intuitives und übersichtliches System mit den Optionen, die sie wirklich brauchen. Und der Browser schlankeren Code ohne unnötigen Ballast.

January 19, 2016 — Designers and non-designers alike can get caught up in the aesthetics and functionality of a website, and forget that every decision made should be supported by an underlying strategy. We will discuss how to find your site’s primary call to action and create experiences that support that goal. We will also evaluate design choices of many well-known sites as we examine how they help (or hinder) common goals. Whether you’re a designer, developer, or a person maintaining a site, you will come away with a critical eye for evaluating design patterns and a process for narrowing down a design strategy.

January 17, 2016 — Education, Media, and Public Service are having their business and service delivery models disrupted. Sometimes, they haven’t fully internalized customer, student, or patient-centric business drivers, and sometimes they can’t justify budget line items related to user-centered design in this fiscally constrained environment.

The result is that designers may need to “disguise” user-centered design methods behind other processes, and play it fast and loose with research methodologies to get the job done, while speaking to clients in a language they can both understand and get behind.

In this session, Christine will illustrate how she has enlisted scenario planning, a facilitation methodology used in strategic business planning, as a tool to effectively create user personas and journey maps with simple and clear implications for adaptive content delivery. She will walk through how a traditional sales and marketing funnel became a powerful model to structure just-in-time content delivery for a healthcare client to progressively disclose information at exactly the right level of complexity for the user. And how she has used process design exercises to enlist active participation of clients in the UX design process that has helped them improve their service delivery.

When we mashup user experience design practices with strategic planning and other, sometimes non-traditional business processes, we add value to organizations that goes well beyond the user experience. It helps them to be better at doing what they do.

This session will be of interest to project leaders who want to better understand how to “sell” user experience design, as well as user experience designers who want to learn about new ways of approaching clients who may not understand what they do. Knowledge of standard user experience design methodologies is a must, as is a desire to learn about new ways to work with business leaders to help them derive more business value from their website or app design.

January 11, 2016 — What makes websites, mobile apps, and other digital media products go from ‘good’ to ‘great’? Or ‘very great’? How about ‘really, really, really great’? In this session, we will be looking at the Kano Model to unlock the secrets of companies who have turned their products from a new market offering to something that captures their users in total delight.

We will be exploring what makes digital media products successful offerings in the marketplace, what is this thing called “user research” and how to prioritize product features based on what your users really want and what you can deliver.

Walk away with three ways you can immediately apply the Kano Model as well as some resources on how to get started with a full-blown Kano Analysis.

This session is perfect for designers, developers, digital strategists, project managers, business analysts, product owners, and everyone who loves a great and delightful user experience – YOU!

Learning Outcomes:

– Get a high-level introduction to user research and how it contributes to a great user experience.
– Identify your product’s “exciters and delighters” against its “satisfiers” and “basic expectations”.
– Map out your user’s product needs versus the service you intend to deliver.
– Use the Kano Model to drive product decisions anchored on user research.
