[Hcitaly] The online ECSCW 2021 workshop on “Challenges of transferring UX designs and insights across products and services” on June 8, 2021

Dear colleagues, We are happy to open the call for papers in our workshop on transferable UX at the upcoming ECSCW’21. We hope that you can consider participating. The online ECSCW 2021 workshop on “Challenges of transferring UX designs and insights across products and services”<https://www.ifi.uzh.ch/en/zpac/ws-ecscw2021.html> aims to bring together practitioners and scholars working on conceptualization, maintenance, and preservation of transferable UX artifacts within their organizations. In this workshop, we aim on synthesizing the challenges and highlighting opportunities of transferring UX insights while developing multiple products and services. We ask: “How can we depart from a paradigm of designing a single product and turn to the holistic UX design approach at work?” Instead of focusing on a product, we call UX researchers, designers, experts and practitioners, to center on an ecology of artifacts, e.g. a portfolio. This, in turn, may help to improve existing work environments and to develop novel integrated work environments, where many actors need to effectively coordinate their actions using a myriad of tools. That change, ultimately, may lead not only to improved quality of work and create pleasurable experiences for the end-users, but also establish a ground for successful company-wide collaboration when it comes to preserving and transferring UX insights and rules. We call for participants from diverse backgrounds to contribute to a critical discussion at the intersection of design, enterprise architecture, product/portfolio management, and agile software development to create a UX research agenda for designing integrated digital work environments, unpacking development, users, and change perspectives to aid establishing long-living UX practices that extend across projects and overtime.
