Why improv skills for UX?
Improvisation or “improv” offers a set of communication and collaboration techniques that can supercharge your UX and Service Design efforts. Using improv can bring improve UX deliverables and stakeholder communication to life.
In this workshop, we will learn to use improv to improve your results from generative AI. We’ll use it to ‘bodystorm‘ personas:
In a past workshop on Product-Service prototyping in the UX Inner Circle, we stumbled upon the use of improv to bring personas to life. In this unscripted activity, participants brought the pain and drama of research-based personas to the prototyping workshop. The result was hilarious and powerful. This workshop buildsthis essential skill.
What we will cover in Improv for UX:
In this workshop, you will learn how Improv can make a difference in your communication and collaboration. Why?
- It is a good super ‘soft skill’ to learn: It boosts creativity, communication, and collaboration skills. Plus, it’s well-researched (See Elizabeth Gerber at Stanford) and central to a Human-Centered AI future.
- Improv is used regularly in VR design and Service Design prototyping, where intangible value might be more difficult to understand ‘on paper’.
In this workshop, we will use an Improv for UX Toolkit to explore:
- How Improv can improve your influence over stakeholders and work with diverse teams.
- How Improv can improve your exploration of context of use and understanding behavior and motivations from Personas.
- How Improv can help you get better results from using and creating AI-enabled solutions.
More topics we will cover in this Workshop:
- Boost stakeholder engagement and communication through improvisation.
- Break down barriers and foster open dialogue with clients and team members.
- How to create richer, more empathetic personas through improvisational role-playing.
- Generate innovative design ideas on the fly.
- How to “out-improvise” your generative AI work.
