Join us for an insightful session on Design Thinking Practice hosted by the ICCIT PROfessional series. This in-person event will help you understand how to leverage design thinking in real-world applications.
This Wednesday and Thursday, we will welcome Neetu Mohan, a UX Research Lead at Scotiabank CX Design, to a guest lecture at ICCIT. In the talks, Neetu will draw on her professional experience to provide a comprehensive overview of User Experience Research (UXR) and Design Thinking, focusing on their practical application in real-world scenarios. The UXR talk will cover the importance of integrating research into agile processes, addressing myths about resource intensity, and structuring UX teams for maximum impact. The Design Thinking talk on Thursday will focus on how to promote collaboration, minimize biases, and drive customer-focused outcomes. Both talks will feature live case studies for applying these concepts and learning to balance ideal solutions with practical constraints while maintaining rigor and adaptability.
