Holistic Usability: Making Stone Soup for Stakeholders and Clients

What things do you create that allow people to make connections and share experiences?

Through the concepts of holism and corporate culture, this talk will present case studies that examine how UX techniques, methods, skills, and deliverables can be repurposed to create good experiences for all people who come into contact with our work. (Christina's talk is based on a workshop given at the 2010 Usability Professionals Association Conference in Munich, Germany in May 2010.)
