Summary
Join us for a different type of Quant vs. Qual discussion: instead of discussing how data science and quantitative research methods can power UX research and design, we’re going to talk about designing enterprise data products and tools that put ML and analytics into the hands of users. Does this call for new, different, or modified approaches to UX research and design? Or do these technologies have nothing to do with how we approach design for data products? The session’s host will be Brian T. O’Neill who is also the host of the Experiencing Data podcast and founder of Designing for Analytics, an independent consultancy that helps data products leaders use design-driven innovation to deliver better ML and analytics user experiences. In this session, we’ll be sharing some rapid [slides-optional] anecdotes and stories from the attendees and then open up the conversation to everyone. We hope to get perspectives from both enterprise data teams doing “internal” data analytics or ML/AI solutions development as well as software/tech companies as well who may offer data-related platform tools, intelligence/SAAS products, BI/decision support solutions, etc. Slots are open to both experienced UX practitioners as well as data science / analytics / technical participants who may have participated in design or UX work with colleagues. Please share! If folks are too quiet in the session, you may be subject to a drum or tambourine solo from Brian. Nobody has all of this “figured out yet” and experiments and trials are welcome.
