As UX professionals we often find ourselves at the cutting edge of technologies. But how often do we have the chance to truly impact our stakeholders’ beliefs about the future? How often do we have an opportunity to question the problem statements provided to us ::before:: the engineering and marketing teams have already started down the road?
In this course, we offer a powerful, quick and inexpensive method you can apply at a project’s outset to influence its strategy. Working in small groups, attendees will learn Presumptive Design (PrD), a design-thinking based method to discovering user needs that simultaneously reveals and vets the internal team’s assumptions.
This course covers:
1) Theoretical framework of PrD
2) Hands-on experience applying the process to a design problem
3) How to craft PrD artifacts in a “Creation Session”
4) How to engage external participants with the artifact in “Engagement Sessions”
5) Post-engagement analysis activities
Attendees should have 4+ years experience in UX research, design or strategy to gain the most from this praxis-based course.
