Getting Your Ideas to Fly with Your OrganizationGetting Your Ideas to Fly with Your Organization

From her experience as Reddit's first Head of User Research, Dr. Kristen L. Guth will share ideas and insights for building effective and impactful user research in dynamic and creative organizations.

In this fireside chat, Paul will be discussing his experience and the challenges of transforming companies like Disney Interactive Studios, Rosetta Stone and Cerner into UX-led organizations.

This talk will share best practices for collaborating, what every writer wants their design partner to know, why writers love style guides, and what to do if you don't have access to a writer. Plus, lots and lots of questions and conversations.

What is the difference between designing for enterprise vs. designing for consumer? If you are thinking about choosing a career path in one or the other, or are just interested in hearing about the differences in design, our panelists will let you in on their unique design process for each.

A UX research plan is what turns your raw curiosity into a professional, tactical, and strategic exploration of a topic. With a solid and robust research plan, you can tackle projects with confidence, meet deadlines, and please stakeholders.

This talk explores new empathic methods to capture the raw emotionality and depth of people's problems. And how to integrate this emotionality into the heart of a team building new products. How do we become more intentional when designing around human emotion? How do we include empaths and highly sensitive people (HSP) in our team? What is an HSP? And how do we engage with HSP type customers to learn faster and more deeply.”
