Future-Proof your Product – UXcamp Europe 2017 (+ “UX-The Musical Nr. 5”)

Posted on 2017/06/03 by Holger Eggert

My talk at UXcamp Europe, June 3rd 2017 in Berlin.

During the last few years companies approached me with always the same question: In a world of Artificial Intelligence and total automation, where does this leave our product? Where will we still be relevant for our customers? There is a playbook to answer these challenges and in this talk I tell you all about it, and how designers can and should work with Artificial Intelligence.

Plus, “UX-The Musical Nr. 5”. Big thanks to Gunnar, the UXcamp choir, and Marvin! And thanks to Katrin for recording. :-)

Creating products that customers love!

Posted on 2014/09/13 by Holger Eggert

My talk at ProductCamp Berlin, September 13th 2014 in Berlin.

Recently I’ve been in many discussions on how to get customers to love a product. Of course this is nothing you can force on them nor can you demand it. To create a product that your customers will love you have to do something else.

New song: Pictures

Posted on 2013/07/10 by Holger Eggert

I wrote a new song and I really like it. Dang, now I’m not sure if I should still make room for it on the album. Would you? Hear for yourself.

Remember, this is an early demo recording, wrong notes and all.

The UX Personality Test — a talk on different types of designers (+ “UX-The Musical!”)

Posted on 2013/07/03 by Holger Eggert

My talk at UXcamp Europe, June 22nd 2013 in Berlin.

Over the years I figured there are many different kinds of designers I’ve worked with. So in this talk I thought it would be fun to discuss this, see which one you are and – of course – see which one is the best. Along the way we discuss rationalizing decisions, the movie trailer method and of course the very surprising whodunnit conclusion.

And as a bonus at the end we do “UX-The Musical!” This originated last year but see for yourself. Big thanks to Aminata, to The Northern Soul Machine and to Confetti-Markus! :-)
