Interview with @steveportigal at #interactLDN 2015
Steve Portigal joined us during the lunch break of day 1 to talk to us about mindfulness, self-insight and presence and how these inform how you interact with the world round you and impact on your work as a designer, ux-er, professional and human being .
Interview with @jimkalbach at #interactLDN 2015
Jim Kalbach talked about visualising value. How we need a reversal in business thnking and value alignment. Begin with customer needs and create shared value. Alignment of the individual and the organisation, with value as the overlap. Value centred design.
This interview was recording during the break, so there’s quite a lively “audience” in the background.
Future survival requires a reversal in business thinking: start with the experience and work out how to create value from there #InteractLDN

How to you design yourself? How do you give yourself permission to do your best work? “You need to stop doing the things you don’t want to do. If you don’t want to do wireframes, stop doing wireframes.” says Whitney.

#109 UX Strategy with Simon Norris
Simon Norris, CEO of Nomensa joins us to chat about UX strategy. We look back over how digital has matured during the last 15 years and how the world today is so utterly different to how we thought it would be back then.
Simon differentiates between micro and macro UX and explains how UX by its nature is strategic but that doesn’t make us all strategists.
Is UX strategy a transitional concept? Should UX-ers code? Can incumbent organisation make the transition to digital thinking? Can UX strategy help organisations think more collectively about business customers and technology?
(Listening time: 35 minutes)
This episode is sponsored by Interact London 2015. Inspiring UX thinkers.
