Effective Creative Leadership, UX Week 2011 /slideshow/effective-creative-leadership/10145217 sbnuxweek2011-111113184634-phpapp01
A search on Amazon shows 62,000+ books on leadership but almost nothing to help creative team leaders build and sustain a creative environment. Creativity and innovation can be delicate and emotionally fraught processes. Leadership theories are helpful, but what do you do when your star designer suddenly starts mailing it in? Or a project team is frozen in infighting? Or one of your designers just can’t find their footing in a new project? When you got your big promotion for being an amazing designer, no one told you that you needed an entirely new skill set. Sink or swim, baby. For this session, Sarah B. Nelson gets practical on the topic of creative leadership. From vision development to team alignment, from bottom-up empowerment to top-down intervention, Sarah will inspire you with practical ideas to motivate your team and rouse them to greatness. She will draw on her extensive experience leading creative teams at Adaptive Path and Hot Studio — and inform the discussion with research and interviews from organizational psychologists, experienced managers, and successful creative leaders.]]>

Web Design is a Cloud, Not a Clock /slideshow/web-design-is-a-cloud-not-a-clock/10145106 sbnfowd2011nyctalk-111113183021-phpapp02
Design groups the world over are littered with the remains of design process initiatives gone horribly useless. But, unless you are a one man band — and, let’s face it, few of us are — getting a group of designers, developers, and business owners to get a design out the door can feel like herding cats. What’s a designer to do? Change our framework. Design process is not a technical problem to be solved (like designing a clock) but an living emergent system (like a cloud) to be exposed, evaluated and iterated.]]>

The practice of user experience has grown more sophisticated, produced higher quality online products, and gained wider acceptance beyond the design community. Still, so many potentially wonderful experiences disappoint and many talented design teams are excluded from decisions that fundamentally affect the experience. Why? Two words: ineffective communication. Attendees will learn specific, proven techniques that can be applied in their own work environment to streamline communication and build more team cohesion. Sarah will present a variety of tools and strategies that have proven useful and highly effective for building arguments, communicating clearly with stakeholders, building trust, and gaining a seat at the strategic table. Attendees will leave empowered to apply these techniques in their own practice and develop their own tools to suit their personality and work environment.]]>

Stage Managers wrangle directors, designers, writers, and actors every day, under strict union guidelines. Editors cajole writers into producing on time(ish) for each week’s publication. Conductors balance the needs of dozens of musicians while staying true to the needs of the music. These disciplines can teach us how to set up and support creative environments that are conducive to excellent design and development. Bryan Mason and Sarah Nelson of Adaptive Path introduce you to 10 techniques used by creative management professionals to get great work from a wide range of employees.]]>

https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/profile-photo-sarahbnelson-48x48.jpg?cb=1572811485 I create and lead human-centered design thinking programs that drive business results. I lean into ambiguity and inspire others to do the same. When you fully unleash a team's inherent creativity, great things happen. I have expertise in digital design, service design, design thinking, facilitation, and related methodologies. I incorporate best practices from the neuroscience of learning, social and change dynamics, and collaborative co-creation. I design programs that activate cross-functional teams to innovate and solve real world problems. www.radicallyhuman.com https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/rht3workshop-150604220209-lva1-app6892-thumbnail.jpg?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds slideshow/rh-t3workshop/49010572 Take Your Team from Tr... https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/sbnuxweek2011-111113184634-phpapp01-thumbnail.jpg?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds slideshow/effective-creative-leadership/10145217 Effective Creative Lea... https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/sbnfowd2011nyctalk-111113183021-phpapp02-thumbnail.jpg?width=320&height=320&fit=bounds slideshow/web-design-is-a-cloud-not-a-clock/10145106 Web Design is a Cloud,...
