[IxDA Discuss] [IxDA SF EVENT] Nilofer Merchant, When Creativity Isn't Enough, Try Murder - January 14, 2010 - 6:30pm to 9pm
Event Description Making the right choices leads us, and our teams to thrive. Many of the best design thinking waxes poetic that the best ideas come from blue-sky ideation, but generating ideas is only part of the challenge of our work. While brainstorming generates lots of ideas, but you still have to discern the right choices to win. AND you have to get a group of people to believe that IT is the right solution That means we need to have a way to build a vision, envision options but then make the tough choices to choose ideas that match the goal. Teams often avoid tough choices because they want consensus, immediate results, and to avoid political fights. The opposite of whiteboarding, the MurderBoarding™ decision process ensures teams creatively generate many potential options before killing off options one-by-one until there is single best solution for a specific organization and situation. The result is the organization or team aligned to a common goal and takes on clear, achievable, and measurable goals. This session provides you with a framework for nailing the tough choices you need to make to win and dealing with the human beings involved! Nilofer Merchant founded and leads Rubicon, which creates business strategy to find and win markets. Having worked inside and outside major corporate brands like Adobe, Apple, Autodesk, and others, Nilofer has honed her collaborative approach to solving tough problems as much through her failures as her successes. Her firm is hired by global brands such as Hewlett-Packard, Pinnacle, Logitech, Openwave, Symantec and others to create strategy that people will actually execute because they created it. She’s often quoted or published in major business publications such as BusinessWeek, Entrepreneur, Fortune and The Wall Street Journal. Nilofer earned her MBA from Santa Clara University, a BS in Economics from University of San Francisco. In her book, The New How, she shares the stories and ways to shift from traditional top-down approaches to flat, fast ways to invent the future.

[IxDA Discuss] [Event] IxDA-SF and Microsoft co-present Sketchflow on Tuesday, August 25, 2009
Our friends at Microsoft have a new product designed specifically for interaction designers and IAs. It's called Sketchflow (part of the Blend 3 product), and it enables the sort of rapid and robust prototyping that is a key part of what many of us do on a daily basis. A couple of us were invited over to get a preview of the sorts of features Sketchflow offers, and it all adds up to a really cool new tool to assist in design ideation and communication. Will Tschumy of Microsoft has generously offered to demo Sketchflow to our community at Microsoft's swanky offices on Market Street at the top of the Westfield Mall. Thai food, beer, schwag, and (more importantly) test licenses for Sketchflow will be provided. Please be sure to RSVP if you're coming so we can be sure to have names for security and get an accurate head count for food.

[IxDA Discuss] IxDA SF Presents When UX Research is Evil
*When UX Research is Evil* Usually when you design and conduct a user research study, you're focused on keeping the methods sound, recruiting good users, and asking the right questions, which is already a tall order. Unfortunately, no matter how well you conduct your studies, your methods have little to do with how the research ultimately gets used. Everyone's a little bit to blame for this: researchers can do evil by conducting useless research and presenting it ineffectively; clients can do evil by misconstruing findings, or by undervaluing research to begin with. This talk will cover the ways that research can be misconducted, misinterpreted, and misunderstood, and on the other hand, how you can involve your clients in your research, to show them how and why it's done, and get inspired to think about design problems through the eyes of real users. *NOW EXTRA SPICY! this panel promises to be a knock-down, drag-out, battle to the last! Not for the squeamish or the faint of heart.* *Nate Bolt* After pioneering and directing the User Experience department at Clear Ink in 1999, Nate Bolt co-founded Bolt | Peters. He now serves as the CEO, where he has overseen hundreds of user research studies for Sony, Oracle, HP, Greenpeace, Electronic Arts, and others. Beginning in 2003, he led the creation of the first moderated remote user research software, Ethnio, which is being used around the world to recruit hundreds of thousands of live participants for research. Nate regularly gives presentations on native environment research methods in both commercial and academic settings, and is currently co-authoring Remote Research, a book on remote testing, published by Rosenfeld Media. * Mark Trammell* Mark Trammell is the User Experience Architect at Digg in San Francisco. His work on the Web spans more than a decade and includes co-authoring two books on Web standards and tenures with the United States Navy, the University of Florida, the Web Standards Project Educational Task Force, and PayPal. While leading a standards-based rebuild of the University of Florida Web presence, he started an extensive user research program including tests throughout Florida and taught user-centered design in UF's Digital Worlds Institute. Trammell now leads user research at Digg. Trammell enjoys live music, photography, and burritos. *Peter Merholz* Peter Merholz is a founding partner, board member, and president of Adaptive Path. For more than seven years, Peter has been instrumental in developing Adaptive Path's ability to provide world-class consulting, training, and public events *Jared M. Spool* If you’ve ever seen Jared speak about usability, you know that he’s probably the most effective, knowledgeable communicator on the subject today. What you probably don’t know is that he has guided the research agenda and built User Interface Engineering into the largest research organization of its kind in the world. He’s been working in the field of usability and design since 1978, before the term usability was ever associated with computers. Jared spends his time working with the research teams at the company, helps clients understand how to solve their design problems, explains to reporters and industry analysts what the current state of design is all about, and is a top-rated speaker at more than 20 conferences every year. He is also the conference chair and keynote speaker at the annual User Interface Conference, is on the faculty of the Tufts University Gordon Institute, and manages to squeeze in a fair amount of writing time. *Location* Hot Studio 585 Howard Street, First Floor San Francisco 94105 Schedule 6:30 pm – Socializing with light refreshments and Hiring Salon (employers/recruiters, bring job descriptions to share) 7:00 pm – Presentation This event is FREE and open to the public.

IxDA SF presents Interaction09 Redux - Saturday, March 14th Earlier this month, 460 interaction designers converged in Vancouver to discuss, debate, and share a spectrum of topics that are important to our community of practice. The Interaction09 conference featured three days of tactical workshops, smart sessions filled with practical advice, and a fantastic collection of inspirational keynotes. As you might expect, many of the contributors to the event came from our own Bay Area backyard. To take advantage of that fact, our next IxDA SF event will be a redux of the Interaction09 conference. Last year we followed up the inaugural Interaction conference with a redux of Alan Cooper's keynote -- this year we're going to deliver a whole sampling of conference sessions with a 1/2 day event! Our day will start at noon, and our currently schedule sessions are: WORKSHOP Well, we did all this research … now what? Steve Portigal, Portigal Consulting (http://tr.im/gN6P) LIGHTNING SESSIONS Feeling: What makes an engaging product experience? Kumi Akiyoshi, Adaptive Path (http://tr.im/gN78) Postcard Patterns: An Agile UI Pattern Creation Process Ian Swinson, Salesforce (http://tr.im/gN7c) What’s in a game? A look at game design best practices as prime influencers of interaction design. Nadya Direkova, Razorfish (http://tr.im/gN7q) KEYNOTE Each One, Teach One (and Other Ideas for Delivering on the Promise) Kim Goodwin, Cooper (http://tr.im/gN7x) SPACE for this EVENT is LIMITED, so you MUST RSVP at ixdasf.org (forwards to ixdasf.ning.com, and please update the RSVP if your plans change). We're asking for a $20 suggested donation to cover chair rentals, snacks, and materials.

[IxDA Discuss] [IxDA SF] Presents: Tap is the New Click with Dan Saffer, Tuesday 1/27, 6:30pm
*Hello friends! We're kicking off the new year with an old friend, Dan Saffer of Kicker Studios. Dan will be talking about his new book, Designing Gestural Interfaces. The event will be held at Adobe which requires a guest list and name badges, so please be sure to RSVP either on our community site http://ixdasf.ning.com/events/ixda-sf-presents-tap-is-the-1 or respond to this email. Looking forward to seeing you there! - the IxDA SF team Tap is the New Click* Even though touchscreen and gestural technology has been around for decades, Nintendo''s Wii, Apple''s iPhone and Microsoft Surface have heralded a new era of interaction design where gestures in space and touches on a screen will be as prominent as pointing and clicking. But how do you create products for this new paradigm? While most of us know how to design for web and desktop applications, many are still wondering how to adequately design for interactive gestures. This talk covers the basics: ergonomics, a brief history of gestural technology, prototyping and documenting, and how to communicate the presence of a gestural interface to users. *About Dan Saffer* Dan Saffer, a founder and principal designer at Kicker Studiohttp://www.kickerstudio.com/, has designed interactive products since 1995 that are currently used by millions every day. Dan has led projects for large organizations like Nokia and Time Warner to start-ups such as Ning and Foxmarks. An international speaker and author, his acclaimed book Designing for Interactionhttp://www.designingforinteraction.com/ (New Riders) has been called a bookshelf must-have for anyone thinking of creating new designs and has been translated into several languages. His new book, Designing Gestural Interfaceshttp://www.designinggesturalinterfaces.com/(O'Reilly) was published in December 2008. Dan is an internationally-recognized thought leader on design who has spoken at conferences and taught workshops on interaction design all over the world. Dan's writings on design have appeared in BusinessWeek, Vitamin, and Boxes and Arrows. He has a Masters of Design in Interaction Design from Carnegie Mellon University. *Schedule* 6:30 pm – Socializing with light refreshments and Hiring Salon (employers/recruiters, bring job descriptions to share) 7:00 pm – Presentation This event is FREE and open to the public.
