 We know what makes people click,
But we don’t know as much about how they feel.

Feeling is as important as form and function, and yet emotion is not always part of the design process.

How do we design technology that prioritizes connection on an emotional level?

Pamela Pavliscak draws on the hallmarks of emotional intelligence—perceiving, understanding, communicating, and managing—to create a meaningful approach to emotional design that moves beyond delight.

Pamela explores the ways technology engages emotion and outlines a framework that supports designing for emotion.

You’ll leave armed with techniques to understand the emotional connection in design.

Presenter:  Pamela Pavliscak  (LinkedIn profile, @paminthelab) is founder of Change Sciences, a user experience research and strategy firm for Fortune 500s, and other smart companies. Over the past 15 years, she’s logged thousands of hours in the field trying to better understand how people use technology and run hundreds of UX studies on almost every type of site you could imagine. Connected to users and their user experiences, Pamela sifts through messy data for patterns, and writes/speaks about how to create better UX’s. Read her blog, People, Pixels & Percentages.

How Well Is Your Business Run?

Your next generation of high-performers aren’t enticed through vacations and benefits plans, but by the brand itself…and they’re retained by how well the business is run. Not surprisingly, these two are aligned.

Millennials are different – or so the studies show. Yet, in these differences, there are several simple truths about attraction, education, communication, connection, motivation, and “technolification” which can help not only in gaining and retaining your next generation of employees, but in running a better business.

This webinar, delivered by Leon Dixon (LinkedIn profile) will identify the needs of Millennials and draw parallels of those needs to sound business planning practices.

Topics of discussion will include:

  • Attraction: Communication and social outlook
  • Education and Technology: Perceptions and realities
  • Work-life integration
  • Millennials and stage-of-life…are we really all that different?
  • Business and personnel benefits of a Class A planning process
