Making services
accessible, accessibly - Andrew Hick (GDS)
Andrew talks through the accessibility of real life services he’s encountered
with examples of what good - and bad - look like, red flags to avoid and why it
can't “just be fixed with AI”.
He'll then talk about the most important factors to build
accessibility into services from the start, decoding the accessibility
guidelines in relation to service design and filling some gaps those guidelines
don’t cover well.
About the
speaker
Andrew is a Senior Accessibility Specialist in the accessibility monitoring
team at the UK Government Digital Service, with a background in quality
assurance and testing. He loves to demystify accessibility and help the public
sector raise its standards. He also enjoys art and design, especially when this
intersects with digital accessibility.
It’s time to rethink your approach to prototyping -
Chloe Langan & Sam Stevens (CXPartners)
Prototyping is a designer’s old friend. But organisations
aren’t benefiting from it as much as they could. We’d like designers,
researchers and product owners to get excited about prototyping again, by
helping them feel energised to try out new prototyping techniques and empowered
to help their organisations embrace prototyping too.
In this talk we will;
- Share
examples of prototypes that break the stereotypical mould
- Show
you how to convince decision-makers to invest in rapid prototyping
- Explain
the tangible steps to take that’ll make your prototyping more impactful
Takeaways:
- A renewed idea and energy in prototyping and how they can use it
- Inspiration
and ideas for new ways to prototype
- Techniques
to overcome common barriers when introducing a new way of working
- Clear
ways to take prototyping to the next level in your organisation
