Podcasts about ux consultant

Ep 175 | Luis Carlos Romero, UX Consultant, viene al podcast a charlar sobre la importancia de involucrarse con el negocio y entender las necesidades del cliente, también sobre cómo el campo de UX está en constante evolución y cómo se ha desarrollado rápidamente en los últimos años. Por otro lado, hablamos sobre la relación entre UX y otras disciplinas, así como los desafíos que enfrentan los diseñadores UX en el mercado actual y cerramos el episodio discutiendo sobre cómo el UX puede aplicarse en otras disciplinas, como el cine, y cómo el enfoque de Lean Filmmaking puede ayudar a reducir el desperdicio en la producción cinematográfica.

Tina talks with Daniel Pidcock and Larissa Schwedersky from Glean.ly, exploring Atomic UX Research and its effective use of varied data for strong research outcomes. Larissa also covers the positives of non-linear research, and together they demonstrate how atomic UX research can flexibly support organizations, aiming to boost both user experience and customer satisfaction.

Jessica Rademacher ist Teamleiterin im Bereich UX in der Sofwareentwicklung der KUKA Deutschland GmbH in Augsburg. Nachdem sie an der Hochschule Augsburg 2007 ihr Diplomstudium in Elektrotechnik abgeschlossen hat, ging es für sie direkt weiter zur KUKA als Trainerin für Robotik. In dieser Zeit brachte sie tausenden von Menschen Roboter zu programmieren, Fehler im Schaltschrank zu finden und Feldbusse zum Laufen zu bringen. Dabei fand sie noch genug Motivation, um parallel zur Lehrtätigkeit auch noch das passende Master of Arts Studium in Erwachsenenbildung an der TU Kaiserslautern zu absolvieren. Nach ein paar Jahren entschied sie sich jedoch, ihre gesammelten Fähigkeiten und Kenntnisse rund um Roboter in der Vorentwicklungsabteilung als Machbarkeitsingenieurin für den damals neuen Leichtbauroboter einzubringen. Von dort aus ging es dann als Product Owner (Rollenbezeichnung bei agilen Prozessen) für Frontend Entwicklungsteams in die Serienentwicklung. Ab da hatte sie die Möglichkeit Ihr als Trainerin erworbenes Wissen über die Technik und die Anwendenden, deren Sorgen und Wünsche zu kombinieren und direkt in die Entwicklung einfließen zu lassen, um die Komplexität eines Roboters für die Nutzenden besser beherrschbar zumachen. Nach einer Weiterbildung zum UX Consultant war sie die erste UXlerin der KUKA und fühlt sie sich angekommen, denn mit und für Menschen in Kombination mit Technik zu arbeiten begeistert sie am meisten. Ihr Steckenpferd sind alle hardwarenahen Workflows, bei denen es darum geht, über die Software direkt an der Robotermechanik - quasi dem schlagenden Herzen des Systems - zu arbeiten. Das gibt ihr die Möglichkeit über alle Teamgrenzen hinweg mit Frontend-, Backend- und MechatronikentwicklerInnen, Product Ownern, ProduktmanagerInnen, Customer Support und natürlich den Nutzenden zusammen zu arbeiten. Zusätzlich engagiert sie sich im Frauennetzwerk, Mentorenprogrammen und Kinder-/ Jugendveranstaltungen, um diesen und vor allem Mädchen zu zeigen, dass Technik nicht nur toll sein und Spaß machen, sondern man damit auch die Welt von morgen verändern kann.

Herzlich willkommen zu einer neuen Folge von UX Heroes. Heute haben wir gleich zwei Gäste: Manuela Risch und Martin Bender. Manuela ist UX Researcherin und unterstützt Projektteams mit Nutzerfeedback dabei, bessere Entscheidungen für die Produktentwicklung zu treffen. Nach dem Studium in Soziologie ist sie 2011 über Design Thinking in die Produktentwicklung gekommen. Sie hat 5 Jahre lang als Researcherin bei USEEDS° gearbeitet, einer UX Agentur in Berlin und ist seit 2017 freiberuflich tätig. Zu ihren Kunden gehören unter anderem Zalando oder Kununu. Martin ist seit über 16 Jahren im UX Bereich tätig und hat dabei schon verschiedene Rollen wie Interaction Designer, UX Consultant und Design Manager übernommen. Seit etwa 3 Jahren ist er ebenfalls freiberuflich unterwegs. In seinen Projekten versucht er so früh wie möglich mit User Research zu starten und live dabei zu sein, wenn Nutzer in ihrem Alltag und Kontext begleitet werden. Gemeinsam sind Manuela und Martin "About Jacky". About Jacky stellt die Research Ergebnisse in der Form von Video-Dokumentationen dar, bei denen Hintergrundgeschichten von Kund:innen mit dem Framework von Jobs to be done verbunden werden. Das Ergebnis sind Research Ergebnisse, die unter die Haut gehen und gleichzeitig die strategische Produktentwicklung über verschiedene Abteilungen hinweg vorantreiben. Ich spreche mit Manuela und Martin über den Unterschied von funktionalen und emotionalen Jobs to be done, wie sich Jobs to be done von Personas unterscheiden und wie man Research-Dokumentation erstellen kann, die auch Lust macht sich damit auch zu beschäftigen.

ABOUT JOE LANZISERO: Joe's Profile: linkedin.com/in/joelanziseroEmail: jlmonkeyfez@gmail.comTwitter: joe_lanzisero Website: lanziserocreative.comInstagram: @joelanziseroBIO:JOE LANZISERO Former Creative Executive, Senior Vice President, Hong Kong Disneyland & Disney Cruise Line Portfolios Walt Disney Imagineering, Current Creative and UX Consultant, and Executive Vice President & Creative Director Zeitgeist Design and Production Joe Lanzisero served as the senior creative executive in charge of projects for Walt Disney Imagineering across multiple platforms in the company's cruise, theme park, hotel & resort, restaurant and retail business lines. With more than three decades of Disney experience, Joe worked with teams of artists, writers, architects and engineers, he serves as the eyes and artistic conscience of a project from conception through completion. Joe was responsible for the creative development of the two newest ships for the Disney Cruise Line, and oversaw the teams that designed these new state-of-the-art ships (Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy) which launched in 2011 and 2012 respectively. Many features such as the innovative dinner show “Animation Magic” and the inclusion of an onboard water coaster (the AquaDuck) are cruise industry firsts. At Hong Kong Disneyland, Joe oversaw the expansion of the park by more than 20 percent over a three-year period. The additions of three new lands – Toy Story Land, Grizzly Gulch and most recently, Mystic Point, adds more excitement and fun for guests of all ages. Lanzisero began his Disney career in 1979 in Feature Animation (now Walt Disney Animation Studios), working on the animation, special effects, storyboarding and story development of numerous features, shorts and special project. He came to Imagineering in 1987 as a concept designer and was on the design teams for Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park at Walt Disney World, Critter Country at Disneyland, and Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris. In 1991, Lanzisero was promoted to senior concept designer and immediately plunged into the development of Mickey's Toontown, the wacky cartoon “community” that opened at Disneyland Park in 1993. He also developed the concept for Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin, a wild and funny dark ride that opened in Mickey's Toontown the following year. Lanzisero also supervised the concept design for the Tokyo Disneyland version of Toontown that opened in 1996. Before joining the Tokyo Disneyland project team in 1999, he developed the concept for Fantasia Gardens and Winter Summerland, a pair of unique miniature golf courses at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. Another new venture, Disney Cruise Line, benefited from his work on children's spaces and activities. And he was behind the 12/10/2013 conceptual design and development of DisneyFest, a unique Disney entertainment venue that traveled throughout the Far East and South America. In 2001 Joe was promoted to creative vice president for Tokyo Disney Resort, charged with overseeing all design in Tokyo. For Tokyo Disney Resort, he worked on such attractions as Pooh's Hunny Hunt, Toontown, Critter Country and Splash Mountain. He did the concept development for Mermaid Lagoon and Arabian Coast in Tokyo DisneySea as well as many other projects. He directed the creative development of Tower of Terror attraction and Monsters, Inc. Ride and Go Seek.In March 2007, Joe was promoted to creative senior vice president with the added responsibilities of overseeing all design for Hong Kong Disneyland, including leading the design of a major three-land expansion of the park. A member of the first graduating class of the Walt Disney Character Animation program at California Institute of the Arts in 1979, Lanzisero developed his artistic talents with old-time Disney professionals. He applied his education as a teacher at the Otis Art Institute and in the animation industry before joining The Walt Disney Company. Currently Joe is a consultant to the Themed Entertainment, Cruise, Museum and Hospitality industries with a portfolio of ongoing international and domestic projects in various stages of design and production. Joe is also actively involved in the UX world and is a sought after speaker in this sector. He has been the Keynote Speaker at the World Usability Congress in Graz Austria and has spoken and consulted on UX to major companies like Macys and Silicon Valley startups. He is also currently Executive Vice President and Creative Director for Zeitgeist Design and Production. Zeitgeist currently has a roster of international and domestic projects. Domestically they are working on high profile museum projects. Internationally they are the creative development team exclusive to Chimelong Resorts in Guangzhou China. Joe is full-time consultant working for visionary clients all over the world. He welcomes the chance to learn more about your big idea and explore ways he might serve you.  SHOW INTRO:Welcome to the NXTLVL Experience Design podcast. Over our 4 seasons we have focused on “Dialogues on DATA: Design Architecture, Technology and the Arts”. NXTLVL features provocateurs for whom disruption and transformation are a way of engaging in work and play every day.Theyinclude thought leaders who are driven by curiosity, a passion to create the ‘New Possible' and a mindset of promoting new paradigms of experiences.  They include leading scientists, artists, musicians, architects, entertainers and story tellers whose research, exploration and built work brings new understanding of the impact and relevance of place-making to the world. On the show, we focus on what's now and what's next.*          *          *          *          *          *          *In this episode we talk about storytelling with a master, Joe Lanzisero former SVP at Walt Disney Imagineering.We'll get to our conversation in a minute but first a few thoughts on why I love this topic:*          *          *          *          *          *          *Stories are powerful. They are among the engines of culture and we have relied on sharing them for millennia as part of our human socio-cultural and spiritual development. We stamped out narratives around tribal fires, shared them on trade routes and built public squares combining commerce and culture through the need to share life experiences with storytelling.Stories are also crucial to our empathic development, as well as providing context to our lives. And stories can also act as path to follow for designers that provides a reference point for design decisions guiding massing or volumes, layouts, use of materials, geometries and other aesthetic choices. Story can be used as a tool to determine the sequence of a brand's signature moments and experiences along a customer journey. The best stories are easy to remember because they paint pictures in our minds that tap into our deep feelings. Because they often create emotional responses and evoke strong visualizations, they play into our long history of communicating through pictures. In many ways, stories are the framework by which we remember things.While the core components of good storytelling may be the same as they have been for years. In fact Joseph Campbell asserted in his book “A hero With A Thousand Faces,” that there was really only one story, a structure that was reinterpreted across time and cultures. The super interesting feature of our brains and stories is that while reading, listening to or watching stories unfold on screen, we develop elaborate mental representations of the situations described in the text, lyrics or scenes. Researchers have gathered evidence through fMRI scans of individuals reading narratives that “the neural responses to particular types of changes in the stories occurred in the vicinity of regions that increase in activity when viewing similar changes, or when carrying out similar activities in the real world.” (see: Reading Stories Activates Neural Representations of Visual and Motor Experiences, Nicole K. Speer, Jeremy R. Reynolds, Khena M. Swallow and M. Zacks, Psychological Science, Volume 20 – No.8, 2009). In other words, as subjects read about characters in a story, their brains react in a manner that is similar to them personally experiencing those characters' situations. Studies by Brian Pulvermüller (see: Pulvermüller F. Brain Mechanisms Linking Language and Action. Nature Reviews Neuroscience. 2005;6:576–582) have demonstrated that brain regions involved in reading action words (verbs) are some of the same regions involved in performing analogous actions in the real world. So, if you read the word “throw” or “catch”, brain regions light up in fMRI scans that are activated when moving one's arm or hands.When engaging with story, our brains react to words as if we're experiencing the story in the real world. Cognitive scientist Roger C. Schank explains that - “Humans are not ideally set up to understand logic; they're ideally set up to understand stories.” I've been fascinated with story for years. Stories were a crucial part of bedtime rituals with my sons when they were young. We were deeply connected to the value of story and their ability to communicate ideas, morals and values. When my older son was very young, he loved stories and asked my wife to read two stories at the same time so that he could introduce the characters from one narrative to those in another book. “no mommy,” he explained “turn dis book towards de other so the characters can see each other too…”So this is where my guest comes into the narrative…JOE LANZISERO is the Former Creative Executive, Senior Vice President, Hong Kong Disneyland & Disney Cruise Line Portfolios Walt Disney Imagineering. He is currently the Creative and UX Consultant, and Executive Vice President & Creative Director Zeitgeist Design and Production.Joe Lanzisero served as the senior creative executive in charge of projects for Walt Disney Imagineering across multiple platforms in the company's cruise, theme park, hotel & resort, restaurant and retail business lines. With more than three decades of Disney experience, Joe worked with teams of artists, writers, architects and engineers, he serves as the eyes and artistic conscience of a project from conception through completion.     Lanzisero began his Disney career in 1979 in Feature Animation (now Walt Disney Animation Studios), working on the animation, special effects, storyboarding and story development of numerous features, shorts and special project. After a number of years and promotions with in the Walt Disney organization Joe was promoted to creative vice president for Tokyo Disney Resort, charged with overseeing all design in Tokyo in 2001 and then again in March 2007 to creative senior vice president with the added responsibilities of overseeing all design for Hong Kong Disneyland, including leading the design of a major three-land expansion of the park. Joe is currently Executive Vice President and Creative Director for Zeitgeist Design and Production and a consultant to the Themed Entertainment, Cruise, Museum and Hospitality industries with a portfolio of ongoing international and domestic projects in various stages of design and production. As a note to the listener, I caught up with Joe Lanzisero, at the SHOP Marketplace event in Austin Texas.

Nebenbei führt er spannende Gespräche und zeichnet diese für den Podcast "meet the Geek" auf.

Bärbel Jüngel hat in ihrem Berufsleben schon mehrfach neue Wege eingeschlagen – und damit Erfolg gehabt. Ursprünglich im Verkauf gelernt, bildete sie sich weiter zur Bürokauffrau und dann im E-Commerce. Sie bekam unmittelbar eine Anstellung als UX-Consultant. Während der folgenden Jahre kam das Interesse an Gesundheitsthemen und Work-Life-Balance auf. Sie setzte sich im Rahmen mehrerer Weiterbildungen damit auseinander und ließ ihre KollegInnen am Wissen teilhaben – in Absprache und im Auftrag ihres Arbeitgebers. Weitere Stationen waren im Vertriebsinnendienst und Marketing. Schließlich machte sie sich selbständig als Gesundheits- und Ernährungsberaterin und hat heute eine Teilzeit-Anstellung als passende Ergänzung im ähnlichen Bereich. Sie macht Mut, mit den ganz eigenen Vorstellungen nach dem richtigen Job und Arbeitgeber zu suchen und mit Selbstvertrauen aufzutreten. Und als Kandidatin 50+ sagt sie klar, dass sich die bewusste berufliche Orientierung allemal lohnt.

User experience is an under-appreciated but crucial aspect of modern technology and software — particularly in the field of video games, which have to introduce complex ideas without intimidating players. In this week’s podcast, Chris is joined by UX Director, Celia Hodent, who put her PhD in psychology, specialized in cognitive development, to good use in helping create Fortnite.  Celia explains how user experience helped make military aircraft safer and how it’s been a fundamental part of gaming since the days of Super Mario Bros. Using examples from casual titles such as Candy Crush to the notoriously tricky Dark Souls, Celia explains how games teach skills and use interaction to build worlds and reward behavior. She also gives excellent reasons why kids shouldn’t play games outside of their age rating, and why culture is more important than gender when it comes to game design. Whether you’re a gamer or not, you’ll undoubtedly come away from this podcast with a new perspective on the design of just about everything.

Hi there folks! Creatives Meet Business is an event and podcast series based out of Austin, Texas for creatives of ALL disciplines to get from zero to one in thinking of themselves as business owners (in the creative sector). This episode features Alex O'Neal, an Austin-based UX Consultant with UXtraordinary and Instructor at General Assembly Austin. She shares so so much about testing, metrics, analytics and more. Alex begins with the reasons WHY we test and moves into metrics and analytics. She also walks us through a great alternative to AB tests for smaller sites - before and after snapshots. One of the coolest we things we learned about was POP - Prototyping on Paper (check it out, it's awesome). Without further adieu, here's Alex... 0:00 to 3:18 - Ashland Opening Remarks and Intro of Alex O'Neal 3:20 to 5:12 - Why Do We Test? Two big questions of User Experience  Who is on the other end of the screen? What are they doing? 5:15 to 7:59 - Analytics for Websites Some hosting services offer their own metrics  Conversion - Does the customer do what you wanted them to do Device (Desktop or Phone) Used to Visit Site Google Analytics - free service - uses a snippet of code that you embed on pages of your site Exit - someone comes to site, looks around at a few pages and then leaves Bounce rate - lands on site and doesn't explore other pages (not applicable with one page sites) 8:00 to 9:05 - Behave.org Formerly whichtestwon They gather tests from large and small companies from all over the world and organize them by type of page (homepage, landing page, e-newsletter, etc) and vertical (type of industry or field) They provide AB tests and analysis on which test worked and why 9:06 to 10:53 -  Before and After Snapshots When AB tests aren't an option, use before and after snapshots Two versions of a page (original and new version you want to test) Measure metrics for a specific period of time - Sunday through Saturday (for example) Make the changes you're interested in testing and measure during the same time frame (Sunday through Saturday, for example) Be mindful of federal holidays when selecting time frames to review Transformation test - testing two very different looks and feels, helps with things like testing a site refresh 10:54 to 13:34 - Example of Importance of Metrics and Analytics 13:35 to 17:05 - User Testing or Usability Testing Essentially you're putting a potential user in front of your site with a goal It's very important to set tasks and goals Ex. Ask them "Where would you go to sign up for an event?" Jakob Nielsen suggests that when getting a group together for user testing no more than 6 people are needed. They'll find 90% of the issues on the website Paper sketches - Prototyping on Paper (POP)  17:06 to 18:42 - Ashland Closing Remarks Wanting to learn more about metrics?

Paul Boag is a leader in digital strategy with over 20 years experience. He's been an employee, started a company and has now chosen to make his business suit his lifestyle: as a freelancer he's kept busy with consultancy, speaking, writing, training and mentoring. But that's jus the half of it. Literally. 50% of Paul's time is spent marketing himself. He has an incredible personal brand, built up over years that positions him as the go to expert. Podcasts, videos, blogs, books. We take a peek inside the workings of Boag World. Don't forget to subscribe via iTunes and the Podcast app for iPhone etc and also via Stitcher who have an Android app, or scroll down and download from here - If you like the podcast, please do leave a review if you get a chance. Here’s some of the key takeaway points: Paul is proof of the power of content marketing. Other people could have his same skills, but do people know about it? Plus it lets potential clients get to know him before they even meet him. As well as broad web appeal Paul deliberately targets marketing at specific sectors (particular niches such charities) Don't just rely on inbound marketing: approach people as well, be it in person or even on twitter. Paul also includes companies/people he'd like to work with within his blog by way of introduction. Paul's charge out rate is based on billing 50% of his time, then the remaining 50% of time can be spent marketing/bringing in clients and affords the opportunity to be choosy about who he works with How is he so productive? He puts it down to planning and using the Getting Things Done (see links below for book) model Be careful not to over commit - Paul doens’t turn down work, but is very clear as to when he can do it You can’t just bring in enough money to cover your expenses each month, you’ve got to create a cushion Don’t let yourself get burnt out - look after yourself and take time out: you can get the same amount done, you just have to work smarter If you’re offering a consultant service make sure you have insurance You’re hired on reputation - do you know your stuff and are you likeable? Write/speak as you are, let some of your personality out - Paul even records videos of his blogs to sit with his blog post Make your business work for your lifestyle - don't let your life be your business More from Paul Paul on Twitter Boagworld site Boagworld podcast Useful Links Getting Things Done - by David Allen Evernote Headscape Who the hell is Steve Folland?
