Designing for AI

Christopher Noessel

Thursday, 02 May, 09:00 – 16:00

The fundamental question for designing AI systems is: Who is doing the work? Do the humans get help from the AI, or is it the other way around, that the AI performs the work with the occasional assistance from humans? Once designers understand and become familiar with the three modes of interaction; Manual, Assistive and Agentive, they can more confidently design modern systems that take advantage of AI APIs. In this workshop, Chris Noessel will guide you through designing for multiple modes of AI—Assistive and Agentive—and integrate them with manual-control interfaces.

Leading UX: Influencing Culture and Growing Teams

Kim Goodwin

Thursday, 02 May, 09:00 – 16:00

You know you’ve said it: ”We could do so much more if we got involved earlier… They think we’re just here to hit it with the pretty stick… Why doesn’t it get built as we design it?” The list goes on. So how do we change our organizations – or perhaps our own behaviour – to fix it? In this full-day workshop, Kim will help you build skills in both change leadership and daily practice leadership. These skills aren’t just for managers; designers at all levels can use them to be more effective.

Leveraging Lean UX to Lead Successful Agile Design Teams

Jeff Gothelf

Thursday, 02 May, 09:00 – 16:00

The old waterfall approach (and its scrum-friendly variants) to design and development is dead. The new way is a collaborative, continuous cycle of concepting, delivering, learning, and iterating. In this workshop Jeff Gothelf will show you how to use product discovery practices to build a stronger collaboration with product development teams. Challenge current ways of working to improve the integration of UX and Design in the Agile process. You will develop management strategies to ensure UX is present in every product conversation and ensure cross-functional collaboration is present at the leadership lev

Service Design: From "Thinking" to "Doing"

Marc Stickdorn

Thursday, 02 May, 09:00 – 16:00

Service design is a team sport. To have a real impact on the experience of users/customers/employees/citizens, you’ll need to involve people from various parts of an organization and sometimes even from multiple organizations. In this context, the key skill of a designer is facilitation. Designers need to handle different people, build bridges between silos of an organization, while at the same time handling the design process, using tools and methods and leading the core design team. In this (very) interactive workshop Marc shares how to bring service design into a team and organization.

Design Sprint

Jake Knapp

Thursday, 02 May, 09:00 – 16:00

In this fun, fast-paced, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the Design Sprint directly from its creator. Jake Knapp will rapidly lead you through the process, teaching how the various steps fit together and why and how they work. You’ll get tips and tricks beyond the Sprint book, and you’ll learn how to incorporate these techniques into normal meetings. Jake will give your team a new way of looking at business challenges and the confidence to approach those challenges with renewed energy and optimism. You’ll laugh. You’ll high five. You’ll learn ridiculously useful skills.

Cirkus in Stockholm

The venue for the conference in 2019 is Cirkus in Djurgården, Stockholm. It was built in 1892 and has been renovated several times, but always remained a true landmark in Stockholm. Almost everyone – yup – from Kraftwerk, Soundgarden to Rolling Stones and Laleh, has made their mark at Cirkus.

The easiest way to travel to Cirkus is by bus 67 or tram 7; the nearest stop is Skansen. If you want to arrive in style, you can also take the ferry from Slussen.
