About this event
I've discovered that skilled UX practitioners often find their best efforts thwarted by political obstacles. Either they haven't learned how to deal with a corporate culture that doesn't fully grok the value of UX, or they have yet to develop working relationships with other functional teams that are essential for UX initiatives to succeed.
In my passion talk, I'll describe several stories from my career as UX engineer, scientist, project manager, teacher, and director. I've worked for internal design teams in both multinational corporations and small privately held firms. I will discuss:
Cultivating Relationships—strategies for cultivating and sustaining relationships with partners in other functional areas.
Fostering a UX-Driven Corporate Culture—strategies for dispelling persistent myths that prevent companies from achieving the highest stage of UX maturity.
Designing a Supportive UX Microculture—strategies for crafting an inspiring microculture in which your UX team can thrive and contribute their best work.
Selling UX—strategies for making the business case for UX initiatives and leading a breakthrough project.

MEET UX PASSIONIST:
John Scott Bowie
Chief Research Scientist at Colorado Design Labs
Forty years ago, I started my career as a technical writer at HP. Before long I was designing software user interfaces, and, through a lot of study and practice, transitioned into the nascent field of user experience design.
As my career progressed, I served as a UX engineer, scientist, project manager, teacher, and director, always as a UX insider with internal design teams in both multinational corporations and small privately held firms.
Today, I spend my time thinking about what’s next for UX. I have so much more to learn. We will need new mindsets, new design frameworks, and new methodologies to move our profession forward.
