Description:

This workshop links to the SSP conference focus to “Unlock Potential and Create the Future of Sensory Science” by introducing an approach to guide product development that may be new to many of our sensory professionals - User Experience Design. Exploring user experience through the design-thinking process expands the sensory professional’s ability to influence business decisions, offer deeper consumer insights, and create transformational product solutions.

Workshop participants will explore the power of User Experience Design through experiential and interactive exercises following the design-thinking process—

  1. Identifying market category Opportunity through Cultural Scanning
  2. Empathizing with and understanding the Counterculture
  3. Defining Cultural Myth to align with a brand
  4. Ideating how to bring Cultural Myth to life

Speakers will demonstrate, through case studies of successful products and services, what is possible when user experience design is incorporated into the development process. 

This SSP Conference workshop is organized by ASTM-E18 in cooperation with the ASTM-E18 Meeting, which takes place October 2425.
