To help advance the field, Adaptive Path promotes its ideas at public workshops around the world, and send them out as free essays in our newsletters. Adaptive Path is leading the way to user-focused design by placing emphasis on how design affects the user. For those who adhere to the tenets of user-centered design, Adaptive Path assures dividends. This is UX Intensive defined. This workshop series examines the four key elements that contribute to a successful interactive experience: Design Strategy, Design Research, Interaction Design and Information Architecture. The workshops of UX Intensive are for experienced designers and their managers who are looking to learn new ways to provide leadership within their organizations through design and research. Workshop participants leave each day with more sophisticated understanding of their field and a new set of tools to put that understanding to good use. The workshops are taught by leaders in the field. These designers and researchers are the folks to whom Google, Sony, Greenpeace, The United Nations, and Intel turn to when they need to reconsider their customers’ interactive experiences: • Dan Saffer, author of the bestseller ‘Designing for interaction,’ leads the workshop on Interaction Design. • Chiara Fox, senior information architect for Adaptive Path, has developed information architectures for companies such as PeopleSoft, AT&T, and Hewlett-Packard, to name only a few • Todd Wilkens is an accomplished writer and lecturer on the topics of user research methods and social science theory. • Brandon Schauer is a Design Strategist who’s desire to understanding the unmet needs of customers has led him to diverse environments, from the homes of cancer patients to tunnels beneath Walt Disney World. 222 Netherlands This workshop series examines the four key elements that contribute to a successful interactive experience: Design Strategy, Design Research, Interaction Design and Information Architecture. 2007-06-18 false http://www.adaptivepath.com/events/2007/jun/ http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/222 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/222/070511_-_Logo_Adaptive_Path.gif design research, design strategy, information architecture, interaction design, user experience Sunnyvale USA 2008-05-11 This full-day course will teach designers how to contribute to the direction of their company by synthesizing and articulating clear, actionable business and product strategies.

This hands-on course is created for experienced designers, enabling them to influence and improve strategic decision-making within their department or company. They will learn principles for communicating and influencing strategy, along with practicing skills and techniques thru group activities, and working directly with Luke and Tom.
