SUMMARY:How to Diagnose What Your Experience Is Actually Built to Produce
DESCRIPTION:“Transformational” has become the most overused word in experience design. \nImmersive art walks use it. Brand activations use it. Festival websites use it. Certification courses use it. And almost none of them mean the same thing by it\, because almost none of them have a structural definition for what transformation actually requires. \nAfter fifteen years producing TEDxNaperville\, testing\, observing\, and rebuilding what actually changes people versus what simply impresses them\, Arthur Zards (Lab Z) developed a diagnostic framework that helps experience designers see exactly where their architecture has gaps\, and what to do about it. \nIn this Campfire\, you’ll walk away with a tool you can apply to your current work immediately: to name what your experience is actually built to produce\, spot where the design falls short of your claims\, and identify the structural changes that close that gap.\n\nThree Questions: \n\nThink about an experience you’ve designed that you called transformational. Using the two axes\, where does it actually land? What was the real success condition you were designing for?\nWhat is one element of your current or upcoming project you could redesign to transfer meaning-authorship from the system to the participant?\nWhen a client asks you to “create a transformational experience\,” what are they actually asking for? And how does your answer change after today?\n\nAbout Arthur Zards: \nArthur is an original Internet entrepreneur founding an Internet company before the web browser even existed. He wasn’t learning about digital marketing\, branding\, innovation\, and development; he was creating it. He is a self-described TED fanatic and is the founder and executive director of TEDxNaperville. \nArthur founded Lab Z\, an Innovation Experience Agency that focuses on a new approach to speaking and conference production. His speaker clients get standing ovations and his clients conferences  transform into memorable and engaging experiences. \nIn his spare time he carves Tiki Moai\, jumps off cliffs in his paraglider and grills a mean Picanha on his home-built 850 lb wood-fired grill. \nHis mantra is to “create an idea\, get people excited\, do it\, repeat.” \n  \n\n\n  \n\n \n  \n\n  \nHow to watch this Campfire:\n\nCampfires are available for WXO members only\nTo join the WXO\, please head to our Application page\nThe WXO is a global home for the leaders\, shapers and doers in the Experience Economy\nAs a member\, you’ll get live access to Campfires like this one plus unlock an on demand library of over 100 Campfire recordings\n\n  \n\n  \nTimings:\nCampfire #2 is suitable for those in the US or Europe\, but everyone is welcome! Here’s when we kick off in your time zone: \n\nLondon: 17:55 – 19:25\nParis: 18:55 – 20:25\nLos Angeles: 09:55 – 11:25\nSanta Fe: 10:55 – 12:25\nChicago: 11:55 – 13:25\nNew York: 12:55 – 14:25\nSão Paulo\, Santiago & Buenos Aires: 13:55 – 15:25
