Description
Come learn how to define and apply Archetypes, a new method for modeling users that supports the design of resilient information structures by focusing people’s intent and the jobs they want to do. A resilient structure is one that understands and accommodates the forces present in its environment. In the digital environment there are many forces at play–business needs, market trends, implementation technology, and the nature of the information–and the most important force is the intentions of the end users.
This workshop will introduce you to archetypes and walk you through the process of creating and applying them. Example case studies will serve as practical examples of what works and what doesn’t.
Join us in this workshop to learn methods for defining bespoke Archetypes for resilient ecosystems, websites, and apps!
This workshop will introduce archetypes as a new model of users and give you the information, tools, and experience you need to try an archetypes user model on your next project.
