Note: This presentation is still in development The Experience of Experience Design discusses the group social dynamics involved in the work of experience design teams. By developing better self- and social-awareness to tune into the personalities, cultures and collaborations we're constantly immersed in, we can better manage challenging situations in the moment and guide cross-departmental teams to more efficient and effective results. The presentation also walks through 2 semi-fictionalized, 'speculative' scenarios that describe how 'the experience' of the design experience feels across different UX-guided and -unguided group dynamic situations. The question we're considering here: How can we incorporate deeper awareness through our human-centered mindset to issue far more effective and human guidance for our people, teams and processes? Not for pure UX Design beginners, but recommended for everyone.
