Stop Solving Problems (UXWaterloo X ProductTank Waterloo collab)

We're back to our semi-regularly scheduled program with a special UXWaterloo collab! You can register here or at UXWaterloo's meetup, whatever is easiest for you. We'll be sharing the same streaming details.

Steve Portigal is an experienced user researcher who helps companies harness the strategic power of insight. He's also a lean practitioner, author, and ex-pat Canadian living in the Bay Area. As you can see from the photo, he's spoken at Mind the Product as well as locally here at Fluxible. For our meetup, Steve presents a contrarian view:

The old maxim says we should “find a need and fill it.” While at some level that is certainly true, in this era of fetishized disruption, organizations seem to gravitate to being in the problem-solving business. Steve will review several different mindsets for creating products and services, consider their benefits and risks and challenge you to go beyond a fixing mentality.

Streaming details to come.
