The Health of our Discipline: Assessment, Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Prescription

January 16, 2025

Karel assesses the health of our discipline given the precipitous and disproportionate decrease in UX job postings and increase in UX job losses. He then diagnoses the causes, provides a prognosis, and outlines a prescription for a very healthy future for the discipline.

PRESENTER: Karel Vredenburg has had a long and successful career as a design executive, most recently as the Global Vice President of UX Research at IBM. He led design worldwide at IBM for most of his three decades with the company, implemented Enterprise Design Thinking into each of the business units of the company globally -software, services, systems, and sales - as well as to hundreds of other companies, typically working with their C-suite level executives and boards.
