Fostering Global Cultural Diversity in Design

Diversity in Design

18 mins Keynote

Design for too long has been influenced by Europe and North America. It's time for that to change. Cultures around the globe, like those in India, have a long and proud design history that needs to be celebrated. Global cultural diversity needs to be incorporated into design curricula and into design practice. We need to be more inclusive in the types of students we inspire to consider design as a profession including appealing to their parents. And we need to build strong communities for design within countries as well as ones that bring the world's designers together as one. We need to design a better world and we have to do it together with vibrant design communities from around the world.

Pandemic has hit closer to everyone's home and has had a profound impact on the team's morale. Team members, be it designers or anyone else, are finding it hard to focus and empathize as they struggle to come to terms with their own losses. Remote work has made it that much more difficult to disconnect and distract oneself. Now, more than ever is a time to empathize with your team. As a Design Thinker, I will talk about a few design thinking activities that I've been conducting at my workplace with my team to identify, address and resolve stress, mental-health and motivation issues that the team is dealing with.

Overcoming Ambiguity

18 mins Keynote

The experience of the pandemic has tested our boundaries for ambiguity. Our ideal vision and timelines were upended by unexpected challenges and factors out of our control. Allowing change and ambiguity to get the best of us is a missed opportunity. By embracing it and learning how to use it as a tool, ambiguity can be a powerful accelerant for our own personal growth and organizational growth. I'll speak to my personal experiences managing ambiguity, leading a team through it during the pandemic, and the techniques I learned to utilize change as a catalyst to evolve both personally and professionally.

A Primer of 29 Basic AI Interactions

AI Interactions

18 mins Keynote

Narrow Artificial Intelligence can seem overwhelming. AI is a complicated thing and is understandably filled with intimidating computational jargon. In this talk I'm going to do something foolhardy, and that's to tell you — the interaction designers — don't panic. For our jobs, the basics of AI are probably simpler than you think. Of course, as designers, you should be goal-oriented first and foremost. Who are the users? What are their goals? What are their contexts? How do they use the thing? Does it work? That said, you should also be familiar with the material in which you are designing, so you can match the material with the human goal as best as you can.

Inclusion is an imperative discussion in the context of designing desirable futures. Diversity, as we know, is a crucial element in achieving inclusive outcomes. Hence the question: how are we looking at diversity? As gender, race, class or identity? Or as a broader topic about cognition - diversity of thoughts and perspectives based on personality, experiences, ideologies, and independent thinking styles? This talk will explore how we can better understand diversity and inclusion from the lens of collective intelligence.

Using Design Thinking to improve worker safety in manufacturing

Design Thinking

18 mins Keynote

Improving workforce safety is a priority for all responsible organizations, even as they often struggle to balance safety and productivity demands. While process improvements and state of art infrastructure would help reduce accidents, these interventions were not enough. We, Pensaar Design, wanted to know whether new approaches to workplace safety and worker training may be able to help keep more workers safe. What emerged was the need to better understand worker and manager attitudes and behaviors toward safety. The hope was that the human-centered ethos of design thinking could help reframe this problem in ways that regular process improvements alone could not. This wasn’t a small endeavor. Design thinking is an in-depth process of research, ideation, and experimentation. It requires patience and time to see improvement. Applying it to an issue as important as worker safety required careful planning and the participation of many individuals, which adds to the effort’s costs. But we found that by better understanding worker assumptions and engaging in rapid experimentation, this kind of behavioral work can be a potent tool to make improvements to worker safety.
