 The age of empathy, Slack groups, designing with AI and more UX links this weekWhat's hot in UX this week.
Stop doing user interviews; start having conversations →There's something I've realized lately, that's making my user interviews go smoother and getting deeper, more nuanced insights. The key is this: relax. Take a step back, for a moment. What is a user interview? If yours are like mine, it's essentially sitting down with a complete stranger, asking them quite personal questions about their life, and hoping they'll answer truthfully and openly enough that you can use what they say to design your product. It's kind of weird, really. Essentially, you're fast-forwarding a relationship in just a few minutes, from first meeting to sharing life truths. How do you get there? How do you get them comfortable enough to talk to you and really share their truth with you? By Nicola Rushton. AI and the age of empathy →With AI everything is about to become smarter. But can we also expect things to become more empathic?

A year ago…CEO-driven design doesn't work →It's over. We won. Designers have won the day. Most newspapers probably won't write about it that way, but that's what happened. With Verizon's fire sale acquisition of Yahoo, Marissa Meyer's efforts to turn the company around have failed by all objective measures. Analysts might offer a number of reasons for this, but I'm here to tell you: it's the branding, stupid. Brought to you by your friends at uxdesign.cc. Like the links? Forward the ♥ |
