Design is Political

This session explores what happens when design meets politics, including when evidence, policy, and public opinion collide. Drawing on real government projects, Jane shows how design decisions are never neutral, how to recognise political risks early, and how to stay true to user-centred design in complex environments.

Steel-Toed Boots in the Boardroom: Designing Factory Floor Solutions that Stick

This talk shares how Weir’s UX team partnered with engineers to uncover real user needs, the creative methods required to co-create digital and physical tools that operators embraced, and how the UX team brought the factory floor into the boardroom to win global stakeholder buy-in.
What you'll learn:

  1. User engagement is critical to innovation and to making it stick
  2. Use your users (the subject matter experts!) when you're designing solutions
  3. Creative storytelling wins stakeholder buy-in
