🍁 October on the Inclusive Design track! Accessibility Review – Understanding how others see, hear, and interact with your content

Johan Berndtsson September 20, 2023

Accessibility is an umbrella term for many things. It contains multitudes of different experiences, obstacles, and coping mechanisms. During October we will explore how you can work to uncover all these different perspectives and gain a better understanding of how different people can perceive your content. We’ll go through how people experience assistive technologies like screen readers, eye tracking, zoom and switches, and try some of these tools hands-on.

A Stellar Evening in Malmö: Drinks, networking, and Kim Goodwin’s leadership challenges ✨

Johan Berndtsson September 14, 2023

Yesterday evening, we gathered for the second of our three Autumn Afterworks. Malmö’s vibrant UX and Design community came together at the beautiful Spegeln in the spirit of learning and sharing. And what an evening it was!

Just as in Stockholm, Kim Goodwin dove deep into her most challenging leadership experiences and helped everyone reflect on their own leadership styles and what to work on. Once again, the night was a celebration of leadership, innovation, and collaboration.

A warm and heartfelt THANK YOU from the entire team to all our distinguished guests!

Stay tuned! Our final rendezvous awaits in Gothenburg!

That might be good, but there may be different techniques to use than we are used to. In this topic, we’ll look at different techniques that might help you improve collaboration.

Johan Berndtsson August 31, 2023

There are many ways to be a leader and many ways to describe what leaders do. Let’s kick off this autumn at the Design and Product Leadership track with some shared definitions, a discussion of what science can tell us about leadership, and a model we’ll use to contextualize what we’ll get into during the fall.

Johan Berndtsson August 29, 2023

The first topic of the fall on the Product Management for UX People track at Ambition Empower is all about collaboration.

There’s a gray area between product and UX on most teams. It’s rare for practitioners or even team leads to fully agree on who is responsible for what and who has the final say when (if ever). Let’s go through some strategies for getting product and UX working together!
