Virtual Design Coffee is live with the November round! ☕️
#UCD practitioners and enthusiasts (smashing 250+ of them) are randomly paired up for an online conversation over a coffee.
Sign up to try one out at virtualdesigncoffee.com/
You can pause or withdraw anytime - enjoy!
This time the theme focusses on the value of design.
Where does it lie? How can we communicate it better? How do we measure it?
No small questions to ponder!
Thank you to @TeamOpencast for supporting this initiative.
If you fancy a new role in and outside of UCD, we have roles available now - opencastsoftware.com/careers…

This month we are considering the responsibility of #UCD professionals when it comes to technological developments, such as AI.
What can we do to help shape the direction of tech? How do we respond to changes? And is it our responsibility to do so?
And thank you to @TeamOpencast for supporting this initiative.
Psst, we have roles (including in UCD) available at opencastsoftware.com/careers…

Brilliant 3 days of learning, sharing, connecting (and re-connecting) with so many inspiring people at #UXScotland!
Few highlights:
- Spending time & sharing learnings with (part of) the UCD @TeamOpencast 💙
4/5
- Opportunity for #UCD to get better at recognising the needs of the organisations/systems we operate in (’stakeholders’), therefore increasing the ability to achieve our end goals
5/5
Well done to all speakers and thank you to the brilliant organisers, volunteers, and everyone who shared or said hi @UXScotland 🌟

I tweeted about arranging content coffee chats. Hilarious I thought I could do that in a new job in a service team with a June deadline.
So glad to have found @Wearecclub - @NiaRCampbell and virtualdesigncoffee.com - @barbara_m6 are already going. See you there! #ContentDesign

Really enjoyed a day of learning at #AllDayHey this week, and reflecting and sharing takeaways with part of the UCD @TeamOpencast team!
Great experience of just about where engineering and design blur into one.
Looking forward to playing back our highlights to others later!
Amazed everyday by how talented, knowledgeable colleagues I have around me at @TeamOpencast.
Proud of Amanda presenting a thought provoking talk on the cross-disciplinary relevance of plain language at #AllDayHey
ALT Amanda on stage of the All Day Hey conference to present talk with the title slide behind her entitled: Plain language: It's not just for designers.
