Like a GPS system\, we can c ontinuously determine the most advantageous pathways by considering the current conditions and desired destination. \;\n \;\nBut we are ne ither water reacting to gravity nor intelligent machines. How do we stay “agile” as human beings? In this talk\, MJ will share experiential wisd om gained over two decades of designing WITH people and organizations\, in service of the products and services they ultimately create. Prepare to be inspired! \;\n \;\n“Agility is the ability to quickly sense one’s environment in line with one’s strategic purpose &\; identity\, and easily execute synchronous (reactively) and asynchronous (proactive ly\, in anticipation) changes in a VUCA world (Volatile\, Uncertain\, Co mplex\, Ambiguous)” — Vas &\; Carlier \;\n \;\nOur Presenter\, MJ Broadbent \;\nAs Senior UX Design Director at GE Digital\, MJ lead s a design team focused on cloud-based apps that connect streams of indu strial machine data to powerful analytics and the people who use them\, providing companies with valuable insights to manage their assets and op erations more efficiently. Prior to switching coasts to join GE in the S F Bay Area\, MJ enjoyed a portfolio career as an independent consultant in New York City. Her practical leadership and cross-disciplinary design expertise benefited organizations including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation\, the College Board\, Johnson &\; Johnson\, The McGraw-Hil l Companies (including Standard &\; Poor’s)\, Pfizer\, Robert Wood Jo hnson Foundation\, Sony Electronics\, and the United Nations. \;\n 3\;\nAn evangelist for drawing\, sketching\, and the power of visual exp lanations\, MJ coaches people in reclaiming their innate drawing skills through instructional workshops of her own design. She has been the offi cial sketchnoter for conferences like EnterpriseUX and CanUX. \;\n 3\;\nActive in numerous professional groups online and around the world\ , MJ is perhaps most well known for her volunteer leadership with IxDA ( Interaction Design Association): she spearheaded NYC local event program ming (2008-2009)\; co-chaired the Interaction11 conference (2010-2011)\; served on the Board of Directors as Treasurer (2011-2014)\; and co-chai red the Interaction Awards (2015-2016).\n\nTags: refreshPDX\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250471792 URL:http://rfrshpdx.org/everything-is-negotiable/ SUMMARY:Refresh Portland — Everything Is Negotiable: Your Power as a Chan ge-Maker LOCATION:FINE: 1140 SW 11th Ave \n Suite 200\, Por tland OR 97205 US SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
