How Can UX Bring Constituents Into the Program Design Process?

Washington, DC - June 22 - RSVP Now

Let’s be honest. Much of the information flow in international development is one way - either us to constituents in the form of outbound communication efforts, or from constituents to us in the form of surveys and data. We have our feedback loops, yes, but contract cycles and budget constrictions make implementation a whole other challenge.

How then can we incorporate User Experience (UX) design, user-centric design, or human-centered design - many-named concept of designing with, not for, constituents?

Please RSVP now to join the next Technology Salon to learn how savvy organizations are separating UX from User Interface (UI) design (how people interact with digital tools) and mainstreaming it as a core differentiator, with answers to questions like:

What does UX look like in practice?
When should UX be incorporated into program design?
Is UX focused on better apps or does it extend to outreach as well?
How can we measure its impact on program effectiveness?

Please RSVP now to discuss these points and more with the following thought leaders:

Lamar Alayoubi, Google
Josh Mandell, DevResults
Eduardo Ortiz, United States Digital Service

We’ll have hot coffee and catered breakfast treats for a morning rush but seating is limited so please RSVP now. Once we reach our 35-person capacity there will be a waiting list!
