The World of UX with Darren Hood CX of M Radio

Ever heard someone say "Stop drinking the Kool-aid?" This metaphoric statement refers to a tragic event in American history where people either blindly or through coercion ingested something self-detrimental. Figuratively, the same thing is happening en masse in today's UX community. In this episode, Darren highlights several happenings and mindsets reflective of drinking the proverbial Kool-aid, challenging people to rise above this destructive trend and practice in UX.#ux#podcasts#cxofmradio#cxofm#realuxtalk#worldofux#worldoux#uxpotpourri#koolaid#uxkoolaidCheck out the new World of UX website at https://www.worldoux.com.

This week, Darren shares an interview with Jorge Arango — the author of such books as Duly Noted and Living in Information: Responsible Design for Digital Places. He's also a co-author of the latest edition of Information Architecture: For the Web and Beyond (aka "the Polar Bear book"). Jorge shares insights about how designers can super charge their personal thinking, augment their minds, devising stratgies around knowledge mining and manage, artificial intelligence, and service design.

It has been said that the years a UX professional spends at one company is like "dog years." In other words, there is a 7:1 ratio between the years of a dog's life compared to that of a human. This puts a completely different spin on the assumptions made about an employee's short stints. This week, Darren takes time to demystify several of the factors associated with one's length of time at a company — focusing on the perspectives of those seeking work as well as hiring managers and hiring teams.
