Premier Speaker: Running IT Shared Services as a Business – Phil Burdett
We often hear that we should run IT like a business. Koch Business Solutions has been doing that for several years. This session will cover the key business concepts that have helped make it successful and some of the challenges we experienced along the way.
Tech Talk Speaker: What is UX? – Kris Krava
In recent years, “user experience” has become a rather common term. Everyone, from comedians to grandparents, seems to have adopted it into their lexicon. It makes sense. We all know we are “users” of digital products and we want those “experiences” to be positive. Still, UX is an ironically non-sensical acronym and the practice of UX remains vaguely defined. Adding to the confusion, every UXer seems to have a slightly different definition of the practice, based on what they do personally. Kris will introduce you to core concepts of UX, shedding light on its value to your business and how it can be implemented into your existing processes.
