How can we create an effective strategy that aligns UX + Business Strategy?  User experience is more than just creating delightful experiences for the users. As designers, we want to ensure that our designs not only follow a user-centric approach, but it aligns with the company’s vision as well.  In this 2-hour workshop with Business Models Inc., a design and innovation strategy firm and the producer of the best selling book Business Model Generation (Think Business Model Canvas), Strategy Designer Carley Jacobson will explain the Business Model Innovation process and techniques that are being used by leading organizations around the world. By adopting a business perspective and thinking strategically, we can consider the primary objectives and design towards BOTH users and business goals.  Join us as we learn about the rationale of how an organization creates, delivers and captures value. We'll understand, design and validate business models with innovative techniques and visual tools to design new strategies that prepares your organization for the future!    AGENDA 6:00-6:30pm: Registration 6:30-8:30pm: LTUXNYC WORKSHOP: Business Modeling as a Strategy Tool 8:30-9:00pm: Winners Announced* & Wrap Up   *WIN a FREE ticket to Dr. Cugelman's upcoming Digital Psychology & Emotional Design-Training Week in New York!
