Human Tech Guthrie Weinschenk and Susan Weinschenk

Keith Instone and Adam Deardurff join the show to talk about their work doing research for the State of UX in Ohio. We talk about common issues facing many UX communities, but now armed with research.

We talk about the difference between creating research plans vs. research protocols. It's a niche topic that we think you'll enjoy.

We take a brief detour to talk about running Chatbots locally on Guthrie's Mac, and then talk about some issues that design systems have been facing, and why most organizations have trouble with design systems.

Tech is always looking for the next big thing to replace our old way of doing things. Screens have been around for decades, but are they actually the best? Do we need to move beyond screens? Are screens good?

We make some predictions about what some of the big UX trends of 2024 will be. Happy New Year!

Todd Cherches visits the show to talk about visual leadership, management books, and frogs jumping into ponds.
