Sydney Design Thinking Meetup #46: Jared Spool - A New UX Design Resolution
Details
Please join us for some thought provoking conversation with interesting people keen on design thinking. We're extremely honoured to have the world renowned Jared Spool talking to us about A New UX Design Resolution.
Pull back to an organisation level, working to connect applications and other services together.
Design Works on Many Levels
Looking at design through different levels of resolution helps us answer some important questions. Is there a difference between UX and UI, and if so, how does that change how teams should operate? What is the relationship between product design and service design? How do we start preparing for what comes next?
An alternative is a well-designed process for creating your designs. The secret sauce in that well-designed process is a realisation and inclusiveness of everyone on the team. It’s infused with an understanding of how people contribute to the design process, even when they aren’t trained in design skills. And it opens up opportunities to give everyone—not just your trained designers—the superpowers necessary to rid your products and services of bad design.
This talk will inspire you and your team to:
• Avoid the dangerous trap of thinking too narrowly about your career
• Understand the relationship between pioneers, settlers, and town planners, when it comes to design craft.
