User Centered Design- 15 steps to removing ego from your design process (ONLINE WORKSHOP)

Agenda: 

User Centered Design- 15 steps to removing ego from your design process

Let's face it, most designs are conceived of by an individual or by teams with a bright idea and the best of intentions. We like to dream and in high-tech, we dream big. The problem is that most business and development teams are OUT OF TOUCH with their users. Designers even think their users are more capable than they really are, studies have shown. Most designs are ego-centered, not user-centered!

Ego-centered design means you think you are the user, and that means your design will be lacking in empathy. In this FREE online workshop, we will guide you through 15 key lessons for removing ego from your User-Centered Design process. We will share over two decades of award-winning UX strategies we use every day at Experience Dynamics working with the world's biggest brands.

Others Who Attend Say...

“Seeing examples and best practices was great. Compared to other trainings I’ve attended, in this training I learned a lot! This training gave me a different perspective on how to think about UI’s. I really like the fact that the training showed the science behind the study and testing of usability”.
