We like to think that the organisations we work in or consult for have clear systems of communication where ideas that we hold have a space to be heard. The reality is that organisations are messy, complex and filled with cultural and psychological codes that can work to suppress progression.

This talk will decode these codes and provide ways in which UX researchers can use their skills to navigate through them and the irrational realities of organisational dynamics in order to propel their ideas, presence and identities.

You will leave with a set of simple techniques to bring into your everyday work that will make you seen and heard.
