The Art and Science of Workshop Design

IAC 2021

April 20, 2021

Intermediate

A well-designed workshop is an excellent, people-centered way to get work done. Whether it's a participatory session that replaces a standard meeting, or a full-blown, multi-day experience, workshops get teams and clients to explore options, analyze alternatives, and come to consensus. But successful workshops don't happen by accident. They’re time- and resource-intensive to plan and deliver, and require particular skills and knowledge. UX practitioners are uniquely positioned to develop and…

Unlearning Design Thinking – how to use self directed learning, divergence and dissent in emergent design workshops

IAC 2021

April 19, 2021

Intermediate, Advanced

How do we design for divergence when our tools value convergence? How can we design for complexity and emergence when our workshops simplify and normalise? Unlearning Design Thinking is a workshop to identify what is wrong and to experiment with new ways of working together. With three themes, Direction, Divergence and Dissent, spend time with other people understanding how many alternative methods exist and learning which ones are relevant to…

Connecting Users to Content: An Introduction to Taxonomy Design & Creation

IAC 2021

April 21, 2021

Beginner

This workshop is sold out. Taxonomies have evolved from classification systems to adaptable interactive tools to link users to desired content on websites, intranets, and web applications. Taxonomies are not the same as a website’s navigation and can do a lot more. Taxonomies can provide guiding categories of topics, suggested search terms, aspects for faceted search, or topics for sorting and filtering results. To be truly helpful, however, taxonomies need…

Leave a Trail of Breadcrumbs: Designing Navigation with Customer Intentions

IAC 2021

April 20, 2021

Intermediate

As IAs we’re fond of taking the “human-centered” approach, which involves bringing in the human perspective to all steps of the problem-solving process. Whether we are talking to customers or co-creating solutions with users, this frame of mind allows us to bring forth products and services that serve human needs and goals. The thing is, the understanding two humans can reach in a matter of minutes is tough to replicate…

Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced

Roundtable framing: The 9th Academics & Practitioners Roundtable welcomes information architecture practitioners and academics of all levels of experience as well as anyone from IA-adjacent or IA-overlapping fields.
