<p>Rob Wilcox, Emerging Technology Design & Product Consultant, will give a talk entitled "Journey to the Heart of the Grid: User Experience Research on Wind and Solar Integration into the Electric Power System."</p>
<p>The North American electric grid is one of the most complex systems that has ever been designed. It is highly reliable, but it takes about the same time for a section of the grid to crash as does an airplane. The cause is almost always the same - human error and deficient situational awareness.</p>
<p>Rob and his team had the opportunity to engage in user experience research for a new grid system for a wholesale utility company in the U.S. The areas they identified for critical focus were the customer experience and the user experience of the grid control staff who would use the system.</p>
<p>Contextual inquiry uncovered some long- and immediate-term concerns, some of which they were able to address from a design standpoint, and others that will require significant future work for the electric utility sector to solve.</p>
<p>Rob will give a brief introduction to the problem space and research findings. He will also discuss research personas, mental models, and learnings from the research process including organizational culture and barriers, regulatory and technical challenges, and working with stakeholders.</p>
<p>About Portland Design Research Group</p>
<p>The Portland Design Research Group is a multidisciplinary networking group focused on the role of research in the design of products, services and systems in business, government and non-profits. We welcome perspectives from all disciplines, including human-computer interaction, design, market research, the social sciences, and others. Meetings will be held every other month at The Art Institute of Portland, and will include speakers, panel discussions, workshops, and other events, with opportunities to network and discuss relevant topics with fellow research professionals.</p>

Whether you’re a designer or a manager, Project Management for Humans will help you estimate and plan tasks, scout and address issues before they become problems, and communicate with and hold people accountable.</p> <p>About the author:</p> <p>Brett Harned is a digital project management consultant, coach, and community advocate from Philadelphia, PA. His work focuses on solving issues that are important to organizations who want to produce quality digital projects in harmony. He loves to build processes and communication tactics that work not only for projects, but for the people involved in them. Prior to starting his consultancy, he was Vice President of Project Management for Happy Cog. In that role, he mentored a team of PMs and managed projects for companies like Zappos, MTV, and Monotype. Brett began blogging about his adventures in project management at brettharned.com when he realized that there was a void in the industry for people in the digital PM role. He has had the privilege to speak at various events internationally and has written for widely read industry websites and publications.

<p>ResearchOps, an outgrowth of DesignOps, is a new and fast-growing field focused on managing research at scale and reducing operational inefficiencies. The ResearchOps Community (<a href="https://researchops.community">https://researchops.community</a>) is now 700+ strong.</p>
<p>Since its creation, the Slack Community has become a place for people from all walks of research and design life to exchange ideas, know-how, and, yes, frustrations, about the running of research teams and projects.</p>
<p>The ResearchOps Community is running a series of global workshops to produce some kind of actionable framework for ResearchOps, and we're representing team USA with this workshop in Portland!</p>
<p>Anything that we (and the global community) produce out of the workshops will be open-source: made by all who take part, shared back to you, and free to use.</p>
<p>Some of the questions we’d like to explore are:</p>
<ol>
<li>What do you think ResearchOps includes?</li>
<li>What research operational challenges have you experienced?</li>
<li>What are your operational successes, if any?</li>
<li>Where do you see opportunities to improve research operations in your organization?</li>
<li>What should our Community do for its members?</li>
</ol>
<p>If there are questions you’d like to explore in addition to these let us know and we’ll make time for them!</p>
<p>Learn more about the global workshop series here: <a href="https://medium.com/researchops-community/researchops-community-a-series-of-global-workshops-d48058ece814">https://medium.com/researchops-community/researchops-community-a-series-of-global-workshops-d48058ece814</a></p>
<p>AGENDA
5:30pm: Networking
6:00pm: Welcome, workshop overview
6:30pm: Explore ResearchOps and share stories (we’ll take breaks)
8:15pm: Wrap-up, next steps</p>
<p>Complimentary food and drinks will be provided!</p>

<p>We'll discuss what makes a portfolio stand out, the keys to building one from scratch, and common pitfalls to avoid.</p>
<p>Then we'll break out into small groups for individual portfolio reviews with experienced UX leaders in Product Design, Content Strategy, and User Research.</p>
<p>Come prepared with your own portfolio in any of those disciplines, or listen in as we work through how to make a portfolio shine.</p>

<p>Join Portland Design Thinkers for an evening with Tony Salvador discussing: Catalytic Factor Analysis.</p>
<p>Many (most?) of our design-research methods are designed for point-problems that demand point solutions. All good. But not so good when those methods are applied to complex problems.</p>
<p>Catalytic Factor Analysis is a method designed to address complex sociotechnical challenges through a structured conversation with the crowd. This technique specifically creates a means for both characterizing wicked socio-technical problems and identifying the focus areas to transform the system toward a resolution. The result is the ability to focus resources – state, civil, and institutional, political, entrepreneurial, and educational – on those catalytic factors to transform the system. I will use several examples from recent work to illustrate the method.</p>

<p>Portland Design Thinkers is happy to announce an evening with Dan Self and the Science of Storytelling: How the Brain Fires on Story.</p>
<p>100,000 years of human reliance on story has rewired the human brain to think in story terms and story structure to make sense and create meaning out of events and others’ actions.</p>
<p>Meaning…Cells that fire together wire together.
And, this evolutionary predisposition is reinforced by the dominant use of story throughout childhood.</p>
<p>So what does this mean for all of us? How can we use this knowledge to create memorable stories? And how can we use our predisposition to turn everything that enters through sensory input into story for engagement?</p>
<p>About Dan Self:
Story first. Story always. I've spent most of my working life or what is known as "a career" thinking about, studying, and uncovering the importance of story.</p>
<p>And in the pursuit of discovering the importance of story, I've explored many different job paths that have revealed some important aspects of the brain on story.</p>
<p>Bottom line? I'm not a neurologist, but I've played one on TV, and that's my story and I'm sticking with it.</p>

<p>Portland Design Thinkers invites you to join us for an evening with Charles Buchwald: Growing Design Ethics</p>
<p>Charles has been designing, inventing and making in a variety of industries across North America. He's led a wide array of efforts, from online learning to AR/VR museums to digital banking perks, for clients including BMW, Pillsbury, the government of British Columbia and Televisa. Among other current projects, he's growing a design ethics community group in one of the country's largest UX design studios, at U.S. Bank.</p>
<p>This talk will discuss the intersection of design, ethics, and four related topics: behavioral science, data science, personalization at scale, and inclusive design - And what this has to do with making sandwiches.</p>

<p>Portland Design Thinkers is excited to announce an evening with Todd Harple - From Silos to Synergy: An Anthropologist's Journey in Bridging Methodologies for Collaborative Design</p>
<p>Over the course of two decades, Todd has adapted his toolkit of methods to suit the audiences, challenges, resources, and desired outcomes of specific projects. With experience and time, he moved from rejecting Design Thinking to embracing it, to relegating elements of it to a part of a multi- (or anti-disciplinary) collaborative toolkit. This talk will illustrate with examples from Todd's work in consumer electronics, fashion, fitness, health and sports how his approach to collaborative design has evolved.</p>

<p><strong>Portland Design Thinkers is excited to announce a SPECIAL EVENT with The New Rules For Work!</strong></p>
<p>You’re invited to participate in an experimental meeting designed to test how a meeting’s location and technology impact meeting results.</p>
<p>By participating in this experiment, you can help answer questions about when groups should meet in person and how to have the best possible meeting experience no matter where you might be. You may also experience new meeting techniques and technology that you can use in your work.</p>
<p>If you agree to participate, here’s how it will work.</p>
<p>-Please join the ZOOM call up to 10 minutes early. You will spend the first 15 minutes filling out a consent form and completing a brief survey.
-The group will then participate in a 60-minute creative problem-solving meeting. Your goal is to identify two or three quality responses to a complex challenge. -A meeting leader will guide you through a pre-scripted process.
-Following the 60-minute meeting, you will complete a post-meeting survey about your experience.
-In addition to the surveys, researchers will collect audio-video recordings for further analysis. You must be 18 years or older to participate and consent to the audio-video recording.</p>
<p>Note: because this is an interactive workshop, the event is limited to the first 30 people. If your registration status changes, please update in MeetUp, in case there are others on the waitlist.</p>
<p>For more information about The New Rules for Work can be found on their website: <a href="https://newrulesforwork.com">https://newrulesforwork.com</a></p>
<p>If you have any questions or would like to join the PDT Slack you can do so at this link: <a href="https://bit.ly/2JuQ2V6">https://bit.ly/2JuQ2V6</a></p>

<p>Accessible, visual communication focused on clarity and transferring of knowledge quickly and efficiently. It’s a skill that can benefit everyone and brings joy to those who see and create sketchnotes. As Design Thinkers, we often have to communicate how and why this seemingly "unorthodox" method of problem-solving is so effective. Visual thinking can help win over your audience and get their buy-in sooner and with more dedication to the process. So grab a paper and pen and join this <strong>hands-on session</strong> to get started sketchnoting and learn how visual thinking can benefit your communication, work, and overall life (for real!).</p>

<p>Portland Design Thinkers is thrilled to announce our next event with Damon Gaumont: Turning Empathy into Action – This Is How Digital Products Attain True Success</p>
<p>Turning empathy into action in digital product experiences is crucial for creating products that resonate with users, provide value, and foster positive relationships between users and businesses. It not only leads to better user satisfaction but also contributes to the success and reputation of the product and the company behind it. In this talk, Damon will cover why it is so important, various methods to achieve it, how to measure it, and how to ensure it is continually improved.</p>
<p>About our speaker:
Damon currently guides brands accountably through the creation of digital experiences by tapping his extensive background and expertise in brand building, creative strategy, and experience design. His belief that all brand extensions start best with a clearly articulated vision is the first step in an accountable process that culminates with beautifully usable and inherently humanized branded digital experiences.</p>

<p>Portland Design Thinkers is thrilled to announce our next event with Neal Moore: Can we design a warning system for democracy?</p>
<p>Individual changes gradually add up to something bigger; but in a multivariate world, how are we assessing and communicating gradual evolution of the big picture, and are we instilling urgency and direction with our storytelling?</p>
<p>In the 50’s, The Bulletin of The Atomic Scientists unveiled the Doomsday Clock to galvanize attention to the threat of nuclear war; more recently they’ve attempted to alert people against other existential threats like climate change.</p>
<p>The US has seen troubling developments in politics and society, leading to concern across a political spectrum that we are either heading toward authoritarianism or already in it. We’ll explore the challenge of designing a “Doomsday Clock” for democracy.</p>

<p>Join us for an insightful panel discussion at the next Portland Design Thinkers event, exploring <strong>Surprises and Speed bumps When Practicing Design Thinking</strong>.</p>
<p>As a design-thinker, you might often find yourself collaborating with individuals who may not fully understand the value of your approach. How do you effectively advocate for design thinking and demonstrate its impact on your projects and organization? Learn from seasoned experts on how to thrive (or survive) in a dynamic, multi-function workplace. Whether you're an experienced pro or just starting out, bring your questions and gain valuable strategies to adapt, innovate, and lead.</p>
<p>Meet the panel:</p>
<p><strong>Shashi Jain</strong>: Shashi Jain is a Technologist, Entrepreneur, and Teacher who believes in the power of deep-tech literacy and youth entrepreneurship.
