Be a Cultivator of Ideas

One of the UX Designer’s primary roles to not generate all the ideas, but to cultivate ideas from all of the various stakeholders in a project. Early on in my career, I thought I had to be the source of all the design ideas. I later learned that this was an incorrect assumption because great ideas come from everyone. In this talk, we will learn how to have a healthy perspective of our own ideas, how to make sure other’s ideas are included, and how to successfully work through disagreements over ideas. This talk will be focused on cultivating ideas from within your organization.

Learning Objectives

  • Great ideas come from everyone
