Often conference workshops are inspiring in the moment, but when Monday rolls around and co-workers ask, "So what did you learn?" — that question is hard to answer. Designers find themselves wondering how to apply exercises that were designed for a workshop setting, but not necessarily the real world.
OOUX workshops are different. They are visual, engaging, collaborative, and often "mind-bending" in the moment. But when it comes time to use OOUX principles on a current project, participants will experience new confidence in tackling complexity and breaking down a problem. The OOUX process is a repeatable formula for creating elegantly simple and intuitive UX. And after a half-day workshop with Sophia, your conference attendees will be set up with incredibly valuable tools to do just that.
If your conference attracts UXers, developers, and digital product professionals that deal with:
then this popular half-day workshop will be a perfect addition for your event's schedule.
🤓 Invite the whole company! Sophia Prater will lead the group through an introduction to OOUX and the ORCA process that will engage your product and design team, your developers, the C-suite, marketing, project management and everyone in-between. This interactive lecture features plenty of exercises, participation, and real-world examples.
Up to 40 participants. Bring in a cross-functional group of UXers, Product Owners, Developers.
In this workshop, we will dive into Discovery, OOUX-style. The first round of ORCA helps us begin to transform research/goals into structure. Teams uncover complexity EARLY and come up with more questions than answers—questions that should be tackled by additional research.
Our half-day workshops can be scaled to 3 to 4 hours. If you event has a theme, we'll create a design challenge that aligns to the conference theme.
During the full-day workshops we will use a more complex design challenge and have more time in each activity. The Half-day workshop is a whirlwind, while the full-day workshop allows participants to dig deeper into the methodology. We also take more time for questions and discussion during the full-day workshop.
