World Usability Day is Thursday

I'll be speaking at an event this Thursday in honor of World Usability Day - which is sort of the high holy day of our field. Here is what it's all about...

When we practice user-centered design, we’re not just changing the way products are designed but often we’re also trying to change the way our organizations think and work. As UCD practioners, we often struggle to bring about deeper change and make our organizations more user-centered. This talk, presented by Emma J. Rose, will share results from a workshop that she and others conducted at UPA 2007 that focused on this very challenge. In continuing the dialogue with the UCD community, she’ll share the findings from this workshop, provide a framework for exploring organizational change, and expand on these concepts and challenges.

If you are in Seattle on Thursday evening and what to hear me talk about ch-ch-ch-changes....you should check it out.
