UX Masterclass Workshop Reimagining the Future of Work: Exploring #change through Speculative Design

In this workshop hosted by Annemieke van Ruiten, Elia Poli and Anna Lazzati. They focused on 3 key objectives 1) Explore future scenarios in the world of employment and the implications on society and environment. 2) Experiment with Defamiliarization, a speculative design methodology: observing objects from a new perspective to imagine a distant future. 3) Imagining a desirable work contract that will be signed by the employees and companies of the future.

conference speaker highlights
topic: How leaders can better grasp future generations: a ux research perspective.‍

Ayumu Takeuchi and Honoka Sumida from Mitsue-Links

KEY TAKEAWAYS
1) Understanding new generations is important to change this complex world.
2) When understanding them, leaders tend to engage in something called ‘mould-cutting’; replacing unknown or new values with ones that are similar to their own. It could disregard the differences between these two concepts.
3) Observing new generations as they are through UX research is effective to prevent this ‘mould-cutting’.
