With interactive experiences increasingly becoming automated, algorithmically optimized, and driven by artificial intelligence, how do we ensure that we don't accidentally create absurd, out-of-proportion, or even harmful interactions? 

Design Systems are the next logical step in UX evolution. We went from descriptive style guides to well-tested and functional components. This speeds up development cycles and enables a more consistent user experience with one product or a whole product range.

Appropriate for a Designer or Design Manager aspiring to be a Leader or an experienced Design Leader.  The 5i model incorporates 5 elements important to Leading in a Design context; Inspiring Others, Being Instrumental & Instructional, Having Influence and Obtaining Impact. 

Strategists describe to make.  Designers make to describe. 

How do you design for a future so ambiguous that all things we take for granted turn out to be assumptions? What if cars drive themselves and people need insuring? How do you ensure a home in a world where we are climate change nomads? What if homes were printed not built..? ​

Our world would be a better place—economically, politically, socially, environmentally—if people at every level of every organisation took a more collaborative and inclusive approach to what they do. The people who set strategies in organisations are often responding to political and financial agendas. 

Product thinking has become the latest force fueling digital innovation. It’s all about customer-centricity, embracing uncertainty, experimentation, being agile and lean. What does this mean for traditional managers who have to lead and support teams doing all of this?

One burning Design question rises to the top from the thousands I’ve heard while working in the Silicon Valley Tech industry for over two decades: Where is our power? It was endlessly echoed during meetings, conferences, and discussions from the beginning to the end of my own UX career.
 

Design is an investment with significant potential return. With a focus on digital design, you'll see case studies from Australia and the world that delivered a big return. You'll also learn methods for making a successful business case and connecting great design to real business outcomes.

Why is Design Thinking relevant to Project Managers and how they can apply it effectively. How focusing on users and user outcomes helps address and solve business problems.  

Google’s research van allows us to conduct research with a more diverse group of participants, has fostered more team investment in research, and increased our research efficiency. In this talk, we’ll give a virtual tour of the van, discuss the impact the van has had on our work, and discuss ways you can incorporate parts of our process into your work.
