Adopting UX principles to ease the pain of change management
Emma Horrell, User Experience Manager, University of Edinburgh and Co-Chair of UCISA UX Group
Change keeps coming but it often spells resistance, conflicting demands and the prospect of failure before success. How do we equip ourselves to be in better control of change? As UX lead on major technical transformation projects at the University of Edinburgh, I’ve adopted several approaches, frameworks and techniques to help me navigate change. In this session I’ll draw on user-centred methodology to offer practical, pragmatic advice, to empower you to steer change. You’ll learn how to:- Apply behavioural psychology to make decisions and shift mindsets- Use research to facilitate change- Authentically report on change positively.
