Sometimes when we share research findings, we hear back, “We already knew that.” In this talk, I’ll examine why that happens, and what we can do about it.

Standards help us in our daily work as UX professionals – without limiting or even imposing specific design solutions. They establish a common ground in terms of qualities, definitions, processes, and artifacts. They represent a consensus of more than 80 countries that cooperated and voted upon issues of the human-system interaction. The webinar provides an overview of ISO Standards, how they are constructed, what kind of guidance they provide, and how they can help UX professionals in their work. Be sure to have your questions ready and join us on our journey to improve professionalism in the field of UX and Usability!

The pandemic focused on digital accessibility because digital became the only way to access business, leisure, and education. An inclusive design mentality is finally shaping how digital products are created rather than being an afterthought. Enterprises now have an added incentive to make sure their accessibility initiatives do not regress; digital accessibility lawsuits have been increasing year-on-year thanks to legislation like the ADA. 36% of companies have pledged executive-level commitments to accessibility, and grassroots efforts are driving change in 48% of companies (Source: Forrester).
