We’re making a few changes to our Ripples: Bristol programme.
Instead of the full two-day conference, we’re running a focused, one-day event on Thursday 6 November - more personal and packed with learning.
All in the same fantastic venue, with the community you love.

104: The quality of design work is always going to be a function of its environment. Because the environment in most places is bad, your biggest impacts will come from improving the environment rather than your individual process.

101: LLM summaries of interview transcripts are just a spicy word cloud, and about just as useful.

Again... The same can be said of behavioural change. If you want people to change what they do & how they do it, you have to make it as easy as possible, as well as appealing...
59: There's nothing more delightful than letting me get what I want as quickly as possible with a minimum of quirky stickers involved.

51: You can never make "data driven" decisions until you recognize that emotions like fear and greed influence your decisions.

The same is true of cultural change, and organisational transformation initiatives.
If you don't build them with the end user in mind, they're most likely not going to be used.

UX fact #19: Word of mouth is a failure case. Meet your user where they are. That means observed goals & behaviors. If you don't know how the user will discover your feature, they will never discover it.

Ok this is what I could make in an evening (wellllll.... it's 1am. But I only started at 9ish.)
LOTS of copy-pasted chatgpt code lol. Quick and dirty. But it works!
Searchable, and will show slides, video, or both side-by-side if both are available.

UX fact number one: users don't want to use your product. Every button you force them to click is like a hook digging into their soul. Give them what they came for and release them from the suffering.

UX fact number two: designers should never learn to code. Code is like a gun - you start to think that because it is so powerful, it can be the solution to all your problems. In reality your problems are sociopolitical. Coding will not make you better at meetings.

UX fact number three: If you think meetings are a waste of time, you are a bad designer. Meetings are a tool, and if you don't know what the tool is for, you're probably assuming that all those things come for free and then get upset when people don't "appreciate design."

Ya know how women say all the time they’re afraid to come forward with something because of the fear they’ll be accused of lying and making it up?
