Whether it’s new technologies\, shifting customer needs\, or evolving market trends\, change is constantly reshaping the landscape of the product. To thrive in this environment\, companies need to embrace change and build a culture of product discovery.\nIn this talk\, we will explore how companies can use product discovery to embrace change and create successful products that meet the needs of customers. We’ll cover the basics of product discovery\, including how to identify customer needs\, test assumptions\, and iterate on product features. We’ll also discuss the importance of cross-functional collaboration\, continuous learning in the product development process\, and the importance of designing with rationale and evidence.\nOur speakers will draw on their experience working with startups and large enterprises to provide real-world examples of how companies have used product discovery to drive innovation and stay ahead of the competition. Whether you’re a product manager\, designer\, or developer\, you’ll come away with actionable insights that you can apply to your own work.\nJoin us for an engaging discussion on how to embrace change and build successful products with product discovery.\nYou’ll leave with a deeper understanding of the product development process and the tools you need to stay ahead in a rapidly changing world.

If enterprises across the globe went from key contributors to climate change\, to critical drivers in halting the climate crisis. That’s our goal at Watershed – to create software that empowers companies to cut their carbon emissions. \nThe Watershed design team is thrilled to host a discussion on what it’s like designing for climate – how to go deep on a complex domain\, how to design for a space without much prior art\, and what it’s like balancing immediate customer needs alongside an urgent global mission. \nWe certainly don’t have the answers – in this session\, you can expect a brief intro and case study from our team (and/or other experts in the field!)\, but then we’ll invite you to share your perspective…whether you’re deep in climate tech too\, or from an analogously complex space.

With this additional organizational and product complexity\, it becomes increasingly difficult for designers to stay aligned on design best practices as well as interaction and visual design details. When design organizations reach this tipping point\, if they haven’t done so already\, they will begin to invest in a centralized design system. All good then\, right? Yes\, but\, now imagine that the already complex product suite doubles\, triples\, or even quadruples in size due to a sudden merger or acquisition. Moreover\, the acquired company brings its own perspective on design best practices and potentially their own design system. Through our panel discussion\, we’ll discuss key user experience methodologies that can help design teams who find themselves in similar situations and are unsure where to start. Panelists will cover topics such as how to align on end-to-end design processes\, how to utilize user research to establish shared baselines\, how to converge disparate design systems\, and more. By the end of this discussion\, attendees should walk away with a design-focused playbook to help them proactively deliver on the original promise of their organization’s merger or acquisition. (Note: for the first 30 minutes or so we’ll have light snacks and beverages so come on time if you’d like to mingle with the other attendees!) \n*Registration for this event will close on June 4th 2:00 pm PDT due to building security logistics.

This requires a deep knowledge of user pain points\, needs\, and desires…but what would happen if we use that knowledge to deliver users to their destination in the most frustrating way possible? \nIn this fun\, light-hearted design jam\, participants will compete to design uniquely un-user-friendly solutions for a given prompt. While it may sound simple\, designing the these terrible processes could be deceptively difficult. Participants will follow the classic design process\, but look instead for “holes of opportunity” to create\, exacerbate\, and twist problems instead of solutions. \nThis design jam is “the mental equivalent of standing on your head”—it allows us as designers to take what we do for our day job and see design from a fun\, new perspective. Let’s have fun\, thinking creatively\, and change the way the story unfolds by viewing the design process in a new way. \nWhat’s in it for participants? \nOther than an opportunity to take part in a fun design jam\, there will be food\, swag giveaways\, and networking opportunities. \nEvent schedule \nFirst 20 min – arrival\, meet & greet\, networking\n20 min – brief presentation\, explanation of challenge goals\, instructions\, and expectations; design challenge prompt announced\n60 min – participants work on challenge within their teams\n20 min – share and tell: teams present their designs\n30 min – winners announced\, closing statements\, and enjoy refreshments URL:https://sfdesignweek.embold.net/event/ibm-design-presents-sfs-best-worst-design-challenge/ LOCATION:CA ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sfdesignweek.embold.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/141005590-SFDesign-Week-Submission-Image-FVGcHf.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230607T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230607T130000 DTSTAMP:20260411T160050 CREATED:20230519T120940Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230519T124351Z UID:10000178-1686132000-1686142800@sfdesignweek.embold.net SUMMARY:Wiki Art Jam DESCRIPTION:What does it take to be “The Last Best Place on the Internet”? While billions of people read Wikipedia every day\, most are unaware of or do not understand the massive collaboration happening behind the scenes\, involving people and machines. This collaboration is what allows Wikipedia to remain free and open source. Our vision is to host a participatory art installation in the streets of San Francisco\, where a large canvas will be set up for participants to collaboratively create an art piece. Participants will be allowed to choose roles that mimic volunteer roles on Wikipedia\, and will be given constraints based on their role. The piece’s creative direction will be guided by a local San Francisco artist. We will livestream the art-making process and add a digital layer to the recording that comments on the state of privacy on Wikipedia.

This event is sponsored by New Balance. \nAligned with the event’s theme\, ‘Plot Twist\,’ this lecture will emphasize the importance of embracing change and the unexpected\, rather than clinging to stability and trends\, as a fundamental aspect of design thinking and existence. \nJust as the city of San Francisco thrives on the twists and turns that drive innovation and progress\, so too does computational design. Similarly\, “plot twists” that have disrupted industries and economies will be explored as crucial moments that have enriched Onur’s unique design career trajectory. Whether planned or unplanned\, these changes will be presented as opportunities to spark creativity and shape the future. \nThis lecture will uniquely portray Computational Design by drawing on experiences and accomplished projects\, ranging from half-a-mile tall skyscrapers to limited production 3D-printed shoes. It will weave a narrative of how these elements intertwine with the human experience and the concept of getting lost. \nThe discussion will span a variety of topics\, including complete value chains\, human-centered innovative thinking\, hobbyist teaching\, servant leadership\, ontology\, and references to Dante’s Divine Comedy. The lecture aims to provide a fresh perspective on navigating the “plot twists” of our rapidly evolving world\, by being persistent on residing in the in-between\, and stimulate engaging conversations on this captivating topic. \n  \nBIO \nOnur Yüce Gün is a seasoned computational design leader\, researcher\, and instructor.

Creating a Human Atlas of Silicon Valley with Studio Sutherl& DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by Jim Sutherland of Studio Sutherl& in the UK. \nHuman Atlas is a social-impact art platform founded by artist Marcus Lyon. Mapping community through oral history\, portraits and ancestral DNA. Inspiring the next generation of change. \nHuman Atlas projects are research-based\, interdisciplinary explorations of the people of a specified geography. They are built on extensive nomination processes. A carefully curated group nominates individuals who are championing and driving social impact in all its forms: from public servants to entrepreneurs\, from non-profit leaders and activists to artists and scientists. The projects then map these remarkable humans through photographic portraits\, app-based oral histories\, info-graphic mapping and ancestral DNA. Human Atlas projects take on many digital forms but always begin as a published limited edition book and an interactive exhibition. \nStudio Sutherl& has designed a Human Atlas of Brazil\, Germany\, Detroit and now Silicon Valley and are currently working in Los Angeles. \nABOUT Studio Sutherl& and Jim Sutherland: \nStudio Sutherl& was set in London up by Jim Sutherland in 2014 to be agile and playful – building teams from the best artists\, architects\, photographers\, writers and strategists to suit each project. There is immense creative potential in collaboration. And great joy. \nHe has rebranded the Natural History Museum\, Wimbledon Lawn Tennis\, The Arts Society\, Williams F1\, Prostate Cancer UK\, National Museums Scotland\, Welsh National Opera\, and Start-rite shoes.
