In May we will be returning to UX Podcast roots yet again. We have undoubtedly performed the most number of event interviews at User Experience Lisbon and will be back to conduct several on-site interviews with speakers this year, during the week of May 22-25.
To get you in the mood and prepare you for the intense networking and learning experience that is UXLx, we have put together a playlist with 8 shows that should keep you busy during the weeks running up to the conference. Enjoy!
Speaking in 2018
Previous interviews with people who will be speaking and/or giving workshops at this year’s UX Lisbon.
#181 Product strategy with Richard Banfield
Richard shares his thoughts on product strategy, the sharing of language and culture within a team, the importance of psychological safe space, product team challenges, distributed teams, and the value of making mistakes.
#175 Human centred design with Alastair Somerville
We talk to Alastair about human centred design. How to use your senses and perception and take in the world around you. This is a prequel to the workshop Alastair will be hosting at UXLx.
#170 Discovery with Dan Brown
We need to ask the big hard questions at the beginning of the process so we can make good design decisions later. We talk to Dan Brown about the discovery phase or perhaps, as Dan suggests: the discovery mindset.
#158 Shoot for the Moon with Jaime Levy
Jaime shares the personal journey that led her to her Hyperloop study and why. We talk about the importance of having mentors and heroes no matter where you are on your career path, about the importance of validating problems before diving in to designing the solution and how agile methodologies need to be applied to strategy too.
#93 James & Per & Kim plan their journey
We’re joined by Kim Goodwin, author of Designing for the digital age and UX executive at both PatientsLikeMe and Cooper. We dive into the merits of journey mapping, what it is and how it can be useful.
Highlights from previous years
