I will be teaching a 6-session course with Lillian Svec via University of California Extension entitled, Managing User Experience Groups, beginning late January in Cupertino, CA.
As part of our preparation for that course, we are interviewing an assortment of user experience managers/directors/VPs in an assortment of companies to learn of their approaches, challenges, strategies, etc.
If you are a manager/director/VP of user experience (or some subset or variation thereof) and might be up for a chat with us, please let us know. We'd love to connect with you.
