Weeknote – Exclusion starts at user journey mapping
This weeknote is a bit different. Instead of a list of things I did, I want to reflect more deeply on one theme from last week.
My first post here may as well be about an important topic; inclusion.
I attended a high-profile workshop last week, which made me reflect on how easy it is to exclude people from the start.
