Every organization out there s eems to say that they want to make their users happy\, but who is really delivering on those promises? Who is really architecting for happiness? \;\n \;\nOn February 21\, 2015 we want to ask the world to help us uncover answers to questions we believe to be critical to the future of what Information Architecture is and how we practice it: \;\n \ ;\n \;\nCan information affect happiness? \;\nHow can we best arch itect structures for information that promote happiness? \;\nWhat wor k are organizations doing to bridge the gaps we face as we transition fr om a primarily analog to a primarily digital way of life? \;\nWhat do es Information Architecture actually mean? \;\n \;\n \;\nAgenda : \;\n \;\n9:00 - 10:00 Spencer Williams\, Architect and City Plan ner\, Futurewise \;\n \;\nSocial Architecture and City System Desi gn: Integrated\, Iterative And Intuitive Placemaking \;\n \;\nIn t his talk\, we'll examine why current city systems have the designs they do and what kind of information is required to plan for people. Informat ion Architecture and Architecture itself are synonymous. What makes bein g in a building\, a city\, a community\, or a body so rewarding is how t hat information is communicated and the response gleaned from those expe riencing it. This talk covers information-as-architecture\, cities that are more than a collection of just these objects (sidewalks\, intersecti ons\, etc) and what we can learn about this planning process that can be applied to nearly any industry. \;\n_______________________ \;\n1 0:00 - 11:00 Thubten Comerford\, Co-Founder of Pitchlandia\, Founder &a mp\; CEO of WePost Media \;\n \;\nOptimal Sequencing - Human Inter action Design \;\n \;\nDesigning success in life and business thro ugh the strategic sequencing of interpersonal communication. \;\n____ ___________________ \;\n11:00 - 12:00 Jose Caballer Chief Education O fficer\, The Skool + Director of Digital Strategy\, Blind and Chris Do Co-Founder\, The Skool + CEO and Creative Director\, Blind \;\n \; \nDesigning Powerful Facilitated Work Sessions \;\n \;\nBrainstorm ing doesn't work. This talk is focused on how to design powerful\, effec tive work sessions\, which result in high-fidelity team interaction and create happiness for all involved. The most important takeaway will be h ow the design of the agenda extends beyond the work session\, which will reveal techniques you can use right away. For example\; shifting from f ollow-up design tasks to design experiments can be seen as a happier way of producing more innovative solutions. We will explain the best ways t o document and track your ideas to help them become reality by engenderi ng ownership from each team member and instill confidence across all sta keholders. \;\n_____________________ \;\n1:00-2:00 Sara Stowe\, PH R\; Talent Acquisition Manager\, Smarsh \;\n \;\nCulture Fit: More Than A Feeling \;\n \;\nA bad hire is costly—financially as well as the impact on happiness and morale within the team. When we look back to understand what went wrong\, it’s unlikely that the person wasn’t qu alified or had the necessary skill set. More often\, it turns out that t hey weren’t a “fit.” How can you really predict if someone is going to f it in and be successful? Does success at one company mean success at you rs? Interview teams struggle to properly assess fit\, and often rely on their “gut feeling.” Intuition is hard-wired for our survival\, yes\, bu t we’re also fallible human beings who have history\, culture\, experien ce\, context which creates bias and\, in hiring\, makes the talent pool even more shallow. Understanding and articulating your company’s culture is at the crux of developing an approach to identify culture fit and th e potential for success. It is the foundation of a structured approach t o assessing talent\, employer brand\, engagement\, talent development an d performance feedback. Sara will walk you through her experience at Sma rsh as they embarked on developing a program to assess fit\, where “not- a-fit” trumps experience every time. \;\n_____________________ \;\ n2:00-3:00 Rain Dove\, Androgynous Supermodel and Public Figure\, Major Model \;\n \;\nIdentity Design: Breaking The Binary Gender Code 3\;\n \;\nGenderqueer Supermodel Rain Dove will help audiences become more aware of identity design through a look at binary gender identity ('he' and 'she')\, its origins and why this form of social design is no longer relevant. This person will discuss implementation of a new system of gender identity\, which exposes the advantages of designing one's ow n identity and thus engagement with the world around them \;\n_______ ______________ \;\n3:00-4:00 Ken Rubin\,VP Culinary Training\, Rouxbe Online Cooking School \;\n \;\nNot Enough Cooks In The Kitchen: C urating Food Culture with Technology &\; Design \;\n \;\nHow do es technology and information design around food impact how we cook and eat? In a world marked by an increasing sense of culinary culture amnesi a\, cooking is a lost art and many have a fragmented and distant relatio nship to food. So\, the world needs more cooks - people who craft their world through a lens of food\, cooking and eating. Cooking is not only a potent symbol of empowerment\, it is among the most human of all acts t hat stands at the center of an opportunity for widespread social impact. An increase in cooking has innumerable positive outcomes for individual s\, communities and our planet. As an example\, cooking literacy is at t he core of how we will solve our public health and chronic illness crisi s. In designing learning technologies and educational experiences to bui ld confidence in the kitchen\, I am on a mission to (re)produce food cul ture through active participation and engagement with others. \;\n___ __________________ \;\n4:00-5:00 Joshua Burkhow\, Global Ops.

As we do regularly\, Portland Community Design Thin kers will be hosting a special meetup on May 6\, where we'll explain wha t the course is about and what you can expect from it. And for those int erested in participating\, we'll help you form teams of local colleagues with whom you can work\, which we've found vastly improves both complet ion rates and the experience as a whole. Created by IDEO.org for those w ho are relatively new to design thinking\, +Acumen's free Design Kit: Co urse for Human-Centered Design is probably one of the best and most imme rsive resources anywhere for getting up to speed on the nuts and bolts o f HCD. This meetup is specifically for those interested in learning more about the course and helping to form working teams. Please note PCDT is *not* managing this course -- you'll be on your own for that. But we're keen to give anyone interested a leg up in getting off to the best poss ible start with a group of other eager local participants\, and you're w elcome to use our own Slack channel for course communication and organiz ing\, as many groups have previously done. Read more about the course at the below link. In brief\, it's a nine-week online FREE curriculum that will introduce participants to the concepts of human-centered design an d how this approach can be used to create innovative\, effective\, and s ustainable solutions. During those nine weeks\, you'll work online (and off) with a group of 2-6 people\, learning the HCD process by applying i t to one of three pre-crafted real world design challenges. (You'll also have a choice to craft your own challenge.) Each week you will explore the fundamental concepts through readings\, case studies\, and short vid eos. Then you'll meet in-person with your design team to get your hands dirty practicing the relevant human-centered design methods. Let's get a s many teams together as we can for the next course!

In that session\, we explored h ow “engagement\,” the chief currency of Silicon Valley\, has become inex tricably linked with the hidden design practices that prioritize user ti me on platform above all other considerations. Managing our own ability to ignore these digital distractions is difficult enough\; but it become s vastly more difficult when we must do so for our children as well\, wh o are growing up in a world in which these device mediate nearly every a spect of their social\, psychological (and\, increasingly\, their educat ional) lives. How do parents and families take back control of their hom es -- and their children's futures -- from the Silicon Valley tech giant s whose primary concern is maximizing "\;time on platform"\; and delivering users' eyeballs to advertisers? There is so much at stake. C yber bullying\, inappropriate texts\, social anxiety\, depression\, ubiq uitous porn\, and screen addictions are just a few of the issues that mi ght affect our children. There are certainly benefits to using mobile de vices. But how can parents and young children assure they remain the mas ters of these devices rather than servants to them? How do parents assur e they are leading by example to create tech-healthy families? On May 21 \, we'll reconvene to consider just these questions. We'll be joined by two Portland subject matter experts\, both of whom provide counseling\, workshops and proven strategies for parents to help children manage scre en time and find balance in the digital age. Richard Halpern is a Portla nd-based Parent Educator and Counselor\, and the founder of Coach4Parent s\, providing workshops and parenting strategy sessions to help manage s creen time\, and to reduce screen dependence\, for kids of all ages. And rea Davis and her husband\, Tyler\, are the parents of five kids. Togeth er\, they've created BetterScreenTime\, a resource for any parent who be lieves screen time can be a positive experience and who wants to prepare their children for that privilege in the best way possible. It’s for th e parent who knows screen time will never be perfect\, but believes it c an be better. Join us on May 21 for an interactive discussion. As always \, we'll have food and drink on hand from our sponsor\, LUMA Institute\, some door prize giveaways\, and some networking and socializing time pr ior to and after the presentation.\n\nTags: meetup:event=260858452\, mee tup:group=Portland-Community-Design-Thinkers\, innovation\, product desi gn\, Prototyping\, user experience\, entrepreneurship\, social innovatio n\, brainstorming for ideas\, usability\, Service Design\, creativity\, User Research\, brainstorming ideas\, ux design\, design thinking\, make rspaces\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250475548 URL:https://www.meetup.com/Portland-Community-Design-Thinkers/events/2608 58452/ SUMMARY:Portland Community Design Thinkers - Parenting in the Age of Digi tal Technology: A Humane Tech Meetup LOCATION:Portland: \, Portland OR us SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20191118T181835Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20191211T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20191211T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20191118T181835Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20191118T181835Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250476436 DESCRIPTION:We're finishing out 2019 having collectively presented roughl y 85 human-centered events.
