Hal Sandbach is speaking at the following session/s
Designing in the Co-Development World
With the industry shifting into more of a co-dev environment, this session goes through some of the differences this change can highlight. Designing as a co-dev partner is not the same as being part of an in-house design team. There are pitfalls and opportunities aplenty. Having worked as both an in-house and co-dev designer, Hal has the direct experience to be able to compare the two.
In this session, he focusses on some of the difficulties co-dev design can face, and strategies to allow both parties to overcome them and ultimately work better together.
Session Takeaway
- Strategies for dealing with uncertain design phases, such as prototyping and preproduction
- Methods for having that difficult conversation – when you have to say “no”
- Finding the signal in the noise – effective communication
