Executive Alignment for UX and Product Leaders
2024-08-15 14:00 - 15:00
[URL of this listing: https://usercalendar.com/event/executive-alignment-for-ux-and-product-leaders]
UX and product professionals have been trying to ’swim upstream’ for decades. Even though we have data to prove the value of our work, we still don’t have the influence and seat-at-the-table that we need to help our companies create products people love to use (and are happy to pay for).
Tamara Adlin, a product and UX expert, has a new perspective on this problem and a new practical way to solve it. We have to understand what life is like for senior stakeholders and executives. We have to tune into the game of telephone they play with each other and know that ‘being on the same page’ never actually happens. We have to see the impact of executive misalignment from the top down.
Tamara will introduce us to her solution and a new set of practical tools to create Executive Alignment in Five Conversations. She will show us a new way to create and use ‘alignment personas’ to rethink strategy, create a user-centered vocabulary and define goals and priorities that stick throughout your projects.

We already knew that: When research findings fail to land with Steve Portigal

[URL of this listing: https://usercalendar.com/event/we-already-knew-that-when-research-findings-fail-to-land-with-steve-portigal/]
Sometimes when we share research findings, we hear back, “We already knew that.” In this talk, I’ll examine why that happens, and what we can do about it. Sometimes, it’s a cognitive bias, called hindsight bias and also known as the “knew it all along” phenomenon. But there are other causes and we can adjust our approach to research to try and limit this all-too-common challenge.

Chi 2024
2024-05-11 06:00 - 2024-05-17 05:59 | Hawaiʻi Convention Center, Oʻahu, HI, United States
[URL of this listing: https://usercalendar.com/event/chi-2024/]
Welcome to CHI 2024!
The ACM (Association of Computing Machinery) CHI conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems is the premier international conference of Human-Computer Interaction.
CHI (pronounced “kai”) takes place in Honolulu, at the Hawaiʻi Convention Center on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, USA from 11-16 May 2024, while also supporting remote attendance.
The conference embraces the theme of Surfing the World – reflecting the focus on pushing forth the wave of cutting-edge technology and riding the tide of new developments in human-computer interaction. The conference serves as a platform for researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to share their latest work and ideas and to foster collaboration and innovation in the field. Attendees will Surf the World of technology by engaging in keynote speeches, panel discussions, workshops, and other interactive sessions focusing on the latest developments and trends in the field. The conference’s location, known for its beautiful beaches and world-class surf spots, adds a unique and inspiring setting for attendees to come together and exchange ideas to open global access to CHI. The CHI conference is the premier event in the field and Surfing the World represents its commitment to inviting everyone to explore and advance the frontiers of human-computer interaction.
It is with profound reflection that we offer up this Land Acknowledgement, acknowledging Hawaiʻi as an indigenous space whose original people are today identified as Kanaka ‘Ōiwi – Native Hawaiians. The ʻāina of Kaʻākaukukui on which we will gather is located in the ahupuaʻa of Waikiki, in the moku of Kona, on the mokupuni of Oʻahu, in the paeʻāina of Hawaiʻi. We recognize that her majesty Queen Liliʻuokalani yielded the Hawaiian Kingdom and these territories under duress and protest to the United States to avoid the bloodshed of her people. We further recognize that generations of indigenous Hawaiians and their knowledge systems shaped Hawaiʻi in a sustainable way that allows us to enjoy her gifts today. For this, we are grateful as guests. We seek to support the varied strategies that the Indigenous peoples of Hawai‘i are using to protect their land and their communities, and we commit to dedicating time and resources to working in solidarity. Mahalo.
See you at CHI 2024!
