Come to the March DFW UPA meeting to find out more about the politics of UX. For those who have found themselves frustrated by seemingly capricious and/or political processes of getting designs, architectural changes, licensing agreements and other big and small decisions to go their
way, this presentation explores:
- Roles and mentalities of the CEO and gatekeepers, and how to constructively engage them;
- Methods you can use to attach value to projects under consideration;
- Tactics for gaining organizational alignment and successfully advancing your ideas in the face of opposition
If you want to achieve your organizational objectives while maintaining you’re working relationships and conserving much of your remaining integrity, this is a seminar worth sitting through.
Hmmm, sound familiar? To everyone no doubt! Jonathan Isernhagen with Travelocity will share his insight so join us for a great evening.
