Sunnyvale USA 2006-12-07 Date: Wednesday, December 6, 2006 Socializing and refreshments: 7-7:30 pm Program: 7:30-9:30 pm Place: Yahoo!, Sunnyvale, Building C, Classroom 5 Directions: http://www.baychi.org/calendar/20061206/directions/ Presentation by Luke Wroblewski In an increasing number of companies, the role of design is changing dramatically from mere styling to a core ingredient of product strategy and innovation. But what's behind this shift? Why are designers who were previously asked just to "make things pretty" being invited to the corporate strategy table? This talk will examine the impact recent technology and market changes have had on the role of design within modern companies. Luke Wroblewski will discuss * the decreasing gap between ideas and their implementation * the increasing rate of commoditization that that are driven by shorter product lifecycles and cheaper manufacturing * the always on availability of massive data sources * the growing ability of consumers to absorb and enjoy increasingly complex media and user interfaces Designers of all types can use this knowledge to communicate the value of design skills, methodologies, and deliverables to both clients and stakeholders. In other words, this presentation provides an explanation of why design matters more now than ever.

It provides effective organizational skills that can be put to immediate use by interaction designers, computer scientists, web designers, software engineers, graphic designers, information architects, usability engineers, industrial designers, and other professionals involved in pursuing the goal of optimal user experiences for end users. The workshop outlines how to make the business case for usability engineering in general - and specific usability project plans in particular - by adapting general cost-justification techniques to estimate expected return on investment (ROI) for usability initiatives. This technique can be used to solicit funding. Cost-justification is discussed across a wide variety of contexts, including both commercial and internal traditional business applications, public web sites, intranets, and web-based applications.

A recent CEO survey by IBM shows that business models and business model innovation are on top of the executive agenda. Also, entrepreneurs across industries are searching for the most appropriate business models to bring new and innovative products and services to the market. Unfortunately, management literature provides little methodological guidance that helps executives and entrepreneurs systematically reflect on the topic of business model design and innovation. This workshop addresses that gap by providing participants with a powerful, tested and pragmatic approach that assists business people in designing competitive and innovative business models. The approach is based on the ?Business Model Canvas?, which allows business people to describe business models with a simple and common language based on 9 building blocks. This language can then be used to assess business models and come up with new and innovative business model alternatives. The approach appeals to senior executives, department heads, entrepreneurs and financiers alike, since all have a common need of identifying and implementing competitive and sustainable business models. In this workshop you will: * sense why it is indispensable for you to start thinking in terms of business models in today?s competitive landscape * learn how to describe your own business model(s) based on the intuitive and pragmatic Business Model Canvas approach * be able to generate business model alternatives in your own competitive environment * apply the Business Model Canvas approach in break-out sessions 531 NY At this workshop you will master a simple but powerful and systematic approach to understanding, analyzing, designing and changing business models 2008-10-10 false http://smartexperience.org/classes/business-model-design/ http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/531 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/531/smartexperience.logo.png business, entrepreneur, innovation, management, models, strategy Copenhagen Denmark 2009-03-06 We proudly present our biggest conference IntraTeam Event 2009 taking place on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of March.

Join us for a half-day immersive workshop meant to teach-by-doing the Design Studio method. Whether your focus is strategy, product management, design, or development, this hands-on, dynamic workshop is for anyone involved in the ideation, design or development of websites, applications, and mobile experience. The early stages of product innovation can crucially influence the success and direction of any product. Yet these stages tend to be fuzzy, highly politicized, and under-documented. This workshop is an introduction to how teams can use The Design Studio method to explore opportunities and innovate products in a more transparent manner so that cross-functional teams focus on how ideas and solutions map back to the problem space and goals, revealing tacit requirements, while mitigating the risk of hidden agendas. Design Studio is conducted in a highly interactive, fast-paced team setting following a methodology commonly used in architecture and industrial design, but with some important twists. It has been called the “Iron Chef,” of ideation. It can be intense, focused, and chaotic at times, but those lucky enough to have participated understand the power and effectiveness of this tool. This workshop will teach the fundamentals of running a design studio and will answer questions about how to effectively use Design Studio (as well as variations on it), and to avoid potential pitfalls so those practicing some flavor of Agile UX will be better armed to solve difficult problems in their work. The workshop guides participations through this evolution in experience ideation using a case study approach to solve a unique problem space, the goal of which is to arrive at some solid design solutions while also learn the hands-on techniques so that attendees may return to their organization and conduct their own design studios. Cost for the event is $195, which covers the registration, materials, and refreshments. 1840 NY This workshop will teach the fundamentals of running a design studio through a hands-on, iterative approach to designing around a problem space. 2012-05-05 false http://www.designstudio.eventbrite.com/ http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/1840 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/1840/AgileUX_logo.png agile, design, lean, product, strategy, ux Brisbane Australia 2012-09-01 1763 Australia Four day user experience conference - 2 days of workshops, 2 days of conference 2012-08-28 false http://www.uxaustralia.com.au/uxaustralia-2012 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/1763 experience design, strategy, user experience
