About This Event

Why is it that at a time when user experience (UX) expertise is in high demand, countless UX professionals continue to feel misunderstood, undervalued, and unable to contribute to the success of the businesses for which they work in the ways and to the extent they can and often should?

What can be done to change that feeling — that reality? What can YOU do to move UX into a position of greater influence where YOU work?

Explore and formulate answers to these questions in a special workshop led by Richard Anderson, UX practice, management, and organizational strategy consultant and incoming Co-Editor-in-Chief of interactions magazine.

This highly interactive and participatory workshop will borrow elements from the very successful multi-session "Managing User Experience Groups" course Richard has co-taught in Silicon Valley, from the highly praised "Moving UX into a Position of Corporate Influence: Whose Advice Really Works?" interactive session from CHI 2007, from related workshops Richard has led within various companies, and from a multi-session "User Experience Managers and Executives Speak" course Richard will be offering in Silicon Valley next spring.
