Keynote speech "Designing for people" by Knut Polkehn

Sunday I 12:15 - 13:45 I GI Lecture Hall 1.01

The lecture "Fit for UX - designing digital products and services for people" is based on the seven core logics of human-centered design described by Knut Polkehn, some of which have already been published on LinkedIn:

  1. Designing for people is a business driver!
  2. The blueprint: Fields of action for human-centered activities
  3. Understanding comes before demand!
  4. Designing behavior: Tasks, interaction, user interfaces!
  5. Digitalization means collaboration!
  6. Continuously working on the future of user work!
  7. Follow these core logics in different ways - but always!

Along these seven principles, examples and anecdotes from Knut Polkehn's practical work as a consultant and coach in various companies and organizations will be shown. The aim is to show the participants docking points for effective action in their own future or current role and thus enable individual added value for the participants.

The keynote speech will be followed by a quarter-hour Q&A session.

Making diversity and inclusion measurable: A Practical Example of Implementing Diversity M.

Saturday I Slot 2 I 14:00 - 15:00 I GI/ Lecture hall 1.01

In the practice of implementing D&I strategies or diversity management, measuring diversity and inclusion is a crucial step. One such example is the presented case study in a company, which illustrates the conceptualization and implementation of a specific D&I measurement tool in a company and the derivation of measures in the context of organizational development.

3 years in a holacratically organized company: Personal reflection and learnings

Saturday I Slot 3 I 16:00 - 17:30 I G I/ 0.26

"Does this really work in practice?" I was often asked when I started my Kommpsy internship at Xpreneurs GmbH in 2020. The Basel-based company works with an agile method called Holacracy, which promises to structure a company without a power hierarchy and bosses, but with completely equal, autonomous roles. Since Xpreneurs also coaches this method and therefore masters the pure technology at a high level, I believe our team is ideally suited for a field study: Does the method deliver what it promises in real life? A comparison of theory vs. practical reality in working life: Come along and take an insight into an exciting agile method at the same time.

Critical reflection on the formal recognition of the Diploma in Communication Psychology (FH)

Sunday I Slot 1 I 10:00 - 11:30 I G I/ 1.19

My lecture serves as a critical reflection on the formal recognition of the Dipl. Kommunikationspsychologen (FH) in psychological counseling contexts. I completed my studies in 2006 and have now been working as a qualified communication psychologist for almost 20 years. In the meantime, I also studied a Master's degree in psychology with a focus on health and sports psychology, which I successfully completed in 2023. Over the past few years, I have worked for various organizations and different groups of people. There were often formal hurdles and after examinations, funding bodies did not recognize this degree or only recognized it at Bachelor's level. When I started my studies in 2002, I was advertised as working in psychological fields. In addition, counseling psychology was a focus of this course. In my presentation, I would like to shed light on my experiences, reflect on them and highlight the insights I have gained and my personal developments. Afterwards, I would like to invite you to a discussion.
