Digital Leadership in Uncertain Times

Just as conferences moved online, Alex talked with Glenn Wallis at his Success ID Club. She quickly changed her presentation and discusses how leaders can adapt themselves, and help their teams adjust, to the “new normal”. It’s a great discussion, full of provocations, good questions and interesting approaches to working in digital teams. Alex covers acknowledging grief, signalling, digital responsibility and taking breaks.

S4Ep3 Alex Mecklenburg leads this month's webinar on Digital Leadership. With full slide deck and an audio recording of the webinar content.

“As we all head into uncharted waters with the current global pandemic (as at March 2020) it was both re-assuring and enlightening to have Alex Mecklenburg come and share her experience and expertise in the space of Digital Leadership, mindful of the current backdrop. ”

Creating a User Experience for Everyone

This is a video of a talk I gave at the Interact UX Conference which was held at The British Museum (///orders.behind.tanks) in October 2018.

I have the pleasure of being the Creative Director of what3words and presentations to a specialist audience give me a great opportunity to look at what I do from a different perspective. In this case, User Experience.

For me, the definition of UX is simply everything a company says and does.

But in reality “everything” is incredibly complex to manage, so how do we do it at what3words and what have we learned?

I explain how a 3 word address works, the design decisions that we’ve made in order to make it a global standard, how we work with voice, and show people around the world use the system.

It’s amazing what people can create with a few simple words.

Thanks to Henry and Nomensa for the invitation and for producing this video.
