Google processes over 3.5 billion searches per day. Search is the foundation of modern digital experiences, yet, the user experience of search is often overlooked or under-designed.

Join Vitaly as he shares real-life examples and proven strategies to design effective autocompletes, successful filters and sorting, and search results pages that show exactly what users are looking for.

You’ll learn:

  • How people actually use search and what they expect from it.
  • Search design patterns with good and not-so-good examples.
  • How to make autocomplete UX relevant and actionable.
  • Filter UX with interaction design and layout considerations.

Apply design thinking daily with AJ&Smart’s massively popular Lightning Decision Jam recipe for ideation. It’s a repeatable, easy-to-learn recipe for brainstorming and decision-making that’s proven to work every time.

Design thinking is often misunderstood. It's not just a trendy buzzword, but a powerful approach that requires commitment, leadership support, and a willingness to embrace change for it to take root and thrive within an organization.

But what if you could apply design thinking in your daily work without needing to worry about organizational buy-in or change management? What if you could take what’s great about design thinking and use it to make ideation and decision-making in your meetings 10 times better? Join Amr Khalifeh from AJ&Smart to learn all about the Lightning Decision Jam, how it works, and how you can start using it with your team immediately.

You’ll learn:

  • How the Lightning Decision Jam allows anyone to start applying design thinking in daily work.
  • The counterintuitive techniques behind effective ideation and decision-making.
  • How to turn meetings and group collaboration from unproductive time sinks into the most productive parts of your day.
  • Step-by-step explanation of how to run a Lightning Decision Jam with your team, as well as the Miro template for running a remote Lightning Decision Jam.

Put an end to long, unproductive meetings—harness the power of design thinking for faster, more effective problem-solving.
