UXDX Community:Amsterdam

A short welcome and introduction to the afternoon from the UXDX Amsterdam community team.

One of the trickier skills to master in UX research is stakeholder management. In this engaging talk, Alli draws parallels with characters from The Office to explore different stakeholder personalities, motivations and communication styles. She shares practical ways to adapt your approach, build trust and turn a daunting part of research into stronger collaboration and more effective decisions.

Moving from individual contributor to manager can create an uncomfortable question: if you are no longer producing the designs, where does your value come from? Slava shares the fears and mindset shifts that accompanied his own transition, then explores practical ways design leaders can improve team performance, consistency, knowledge-sharing and strategic direction without taking the work back from their teams.

Benjamin Lipinski and Ilya Maximov debate what it takes to build products in the age of AI, examining how product strategy, design practice and technical execution are changing as AI becomes part of both the product and the way teams work.

Turn messy survey data into something you can actually act on. In this hands-on session, you'll use AI to organize raw responses into a mindmap, pull sharper insights from a Sidekick, and distill it all into a Flows doc with your top 10 user needs. Then you'll build a working prototype.

Raw data to design-ready output, one session, no busywork.

A short wrap-up of the afternoon and an invitation to continue the discussion during networking and drinks.
