Jared Spool – Mobile & UX: Inside the Eye of the Perfect Storm Live! » UIE Brain Sparks
This podcast is the recording of Jared’s keynote from UX Thursday Chicago.
The world of web application design is expanding at a rapid rate. We’re now expected to design great experiences across a huge variety of platforms, from small screens to large displays. The flood of iPad applications and successful online businesses are showing our executives that design matters.
Why is all this happening now? Where is it all going? UIE’s own Jared Spool will show you how four driving forces — market maturity, the emergence of experience, the Kano Model, and Sturgeon’s Law — are increasing the visibility and value of design in organizations everywhere. He’ll show you what the next generation of design teams will look like and how you’ll get there.
Recorded: January, 2013

The Dawning of the Age of Experience
Experience design is no longer a nice-to-have luxury of a few organisations with tons of money and exceptional visionary management. It’s become commonplace for organisations that build products and websites. Experience Design is a centerpiece of boardroom discussions and quickly becoming a key performance indicator for many businesses.
However, you can’t just hire a couple of ‘experience designers’ and tell them, “Go do that voodoo that you do so well.” Today’s business environment forces us to build multi-disciplinary teams, compiling a diverse group of skills and experiences to handle the many facets of the technical, business, and user requirements.
In his usual entertaining and insightful manner, Jared will talk about what it takes to build a design team that meets today’s needs. See how successful experience design integrates the needs of the users with the requirements of the business. See how it is learned, but not available through introspection. Learn how experience design must be invisible to succeed and why it is cultural, multi-disciplinary, and thrives best in an ‘educate and administrate’ environment.

Stephen Anderson — The Quest for Emotional Engagement » UIE Brain Sparks
What makes the Digital Age great is ready access to information. But many times there is too much information, too much data, or too many options to make sense of. Users can easily become frustrated or disengage if they can’t find a connection with what is presented to them.
Stephen Anderson, designer and creator of the Mental Notes card deck, believes your users must be emotionally engaged if you want them to exhibit a certain behavior. Stephen uses simple visual representations to help people make choices and understand complex information. In this podcast, Stephen and Jared Spool discuss creating designs that engage your users’ emotions.

Designing Social Interfaces
Jared Spool interviews Erin Malone and Christian Crumlish, authors of the new book, Designing Social Interfaces. An outgrowth from creating the Yahoo! Design Pattern Library, the book is a perfect repository for anyone planning, designing, and building social aspects into their applications.
Jared discusses several points with Erin and Christian, including,
- How the book became a huge collection of social design elements and how people are using Designing Social Interfaces in the wild
- Could a better understanding of social design patterns have helped Google launch Buzz with less blowback?
- Expecting to build a community on your site, versus leveraging existing communities (for example, Facebook Connect)
- The growth of social in new contexts (mobile, new audiences)

Innovation Beyond the Buzzword
Jared Spool talks to Scott Berkun about the politics of innovation.
How many IBM or General Electric television ads do we need to see before we are groaning at the mention of the word “innovation”? How can you bring real innovation into your projects?

What’s up with that QWERTY keyboard?
Spark is CBC’s technology show. It usually focuses on what’s new and upcoming in technology but a recent episode celebrated the joys of old technology. One of the topics they took on was the quirky QWERTY layout of keyboards. The design has been around since the invention of the typewriter But why is it still around?
