Needs vs Consequences: Making negative impacts transparent in the design process
Our toolset as designers and product builders focusses on building a “great product” by fulfilling business and user needs. But, what are the negative impacts?
Who else besides the users and the business stakeholders is affected? And how can we set these negative impacts and other actors into relation to the user (and business) needs?
In this practical session you will get the chance to try some of the tools we developed at the Sustainable UX network that help you make the negative impacts of your digital product visible and to develop ideas on how to avoid or at least weaken them.

Incorporating UX in the product development process
Incorporating UX in the product development process of a large, international software company isn’t easy, especially one that existed way before the term “user experience” was ever coined.
In this session, Shannon will share some of the lessons the UX Team at Stibo Systems has learned on what works (and what doesn’t) for successful UX collaboration.
She will also speak to spreading UX awareness internally and externally, along with plans for future initiatives and growth.
