Talks
A small selection of conference talks by Jamie Skella. Each one is a live web deck you can read in the browser or take away as a PDF.
- Human + AI Designing the marketing org your competitors are already building. The gap between adopting AI and redesigning around it, co-intelligence, the venture-studio CMO, governance for teams that partly run themselves, and a marketing department built from AI agents that runs for $300 a month.
- Taking advantage of our unknown future The future of work, the unexpected second-order consequences of progress, and designing what comes next. Technology destroys work and creates better work, so aim for net gains, and don't merely predict your future, create it.
- Coming of Age: The Internet of Things The Internet of Things coming of age. Cheap ubiquitous computing, smart homes and smart cities, the Internet of Everything, and connected transit that talks to you. Skip the trough, redesign the world.
- The productivity problem The realities of undersleep and overwork, and how to fix them. Sleep is the most effective thing you can do for your brain and body, longer hours do not correlate with output, and burnout drives half of all attrition.
- Our Blockchain Based Future What blockchain is, Bitcoin versus Ethereum, smart contract business models like MiVote and Power Ledger, the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, and the rise of cryptoassets and ICOs.
- The practice of UX User experience design end to end. What UX is, selling-in its value, understanding people with research and testing, UI principles to live by, and how the future of experience is a conversation.
- If democracy were designed today A recorded talk. Our models for collaborative decision-making are centuries old, yet driverless cars are real. If democracy were designed with today's technology, what would it look like?
