Lar Veale 'Embedding Jobs to be Done into banking'

Just announced 'Doing Design Festival V2' - June 18 2021 Today on the show we have Lar Veale, Lead UX Designer for Business Banking in AIB - one of Ireland’s biggest banks. We speak about the journey both Lar and AIB went on introducing Jobs to be Done, and what this actually entailed. I have little experience with JTBD, so I was extra curious and approached the conversation as someone curious about some of the caveats that come with introducing new ‘things’.  https://twitter.com/laurenceveale https://rosenfeldmedia.com/books/jobs-to-be-done-book/ https://strategyn.com More from This is HCD https://linktr.ee/thisishcd Join our Slack community / https://www.thisishcd.com/community/join/ Join our newsletter / https://www.thisishcd.com/community/join-the-hcd-newsletter

Sarah Winters 'How COVID-19 drove panic publishing'

When COVID-19 hit, many governments reverted to a panic publishing approach, getting as much content up on their websites as quickly as possible. Structure, organization, testing, it all got shoved aside in the rush to publish. Sarah explains how this sort of panic publishing culture can be avoided in the future because panicking serves nobody. Sarah Richards defined the term ‘content design’ in the early days of GOV.UK, where she led the award-winning content team in the design of the UK government website. For me, GOV.UK is one of the shining lights when it comes to true and genuine quality web design and management. GOV.UK has shown what online government for the people, rather than for the politicians, can be like, by being functional, evidence-based, rigorously tested, clear and succinct. Sarah now runs Content Design London, a content design consultancy. Sarah is a wonderful person and a true digital pioneer.

Liam Nugent '99.9% of what you do is rubbish'

When Liam Nugent closed down his digital agency he accounted for all the digital stuff they had created. Each employee was generating about 100 gigabytes of data a year. When they cleaned up all this data so as to give a quality hand-off to their clients, they found that 99.9% of the 8 terabytes of data they had created was useless.
