There's still some tickets left, so grab one while you can!
The Design Leaders Studio website is getting an upgrade in the coming months. The new site will include more details on the course modules, samples from the course and resources for design leaders.

Trying to make your A/L cover school holidays is hard. This half-term I've been WFHIO (WFH in Oxfordshire) at my dad's. I've done the start/end day parenting. He's done the bits in-between. 2 years ago this would have seemed ridiculous. Thanks Covid!

Discarded blog post ideas from this week (feel free to use):
🍑 How to impeach your information architecture problems.
🇧🇷 Is Invision worse than the new 'virus variant of concern' from Brazil?
⚓️ Improving your design reviews with a UX sea shanty.
Here's one for a future UX / Content presentation...
I got the following alert this morning. It's an example of great product design. The designers have thought about the battery life way more than me. They've built functionality to help extend the life of my fancy headphones...
It's also an example of crappy product design. That sentence is 27 words long. I had to read it 3 times to fully understand it. It wouldn't have taken much to split that sentence. Words have a huge impact on user experience...
Your mate Kano (who made that prioritisation model) would be a little bit delighted, and a little bit frustrated. Don't confuse Kano. Remember the words.
Had our final #JTBD training sessions with @mrjoe this week.
Some thoughts:
I'd previously (mis)understood JTBD as a way to frame insight using job stories. That's only a very small part of it. It's better used as a series of lenses to understand and prioritise problems...
- Then finally, how to write better job stories and how to prioritise them.
I don't think it would have worked well at my previous company. The (more experimental) work we're doing now will really benefit from it.
