The Internet and Web have reached a tipping point. We\u2019re now witnessing the surfacing of harmful patterns and norms that we designed\u2014often unintentionally\u2014into our products, services, and communities, and the world we live in. Designers who work in the enterprise are, like their peers in startups and big dotcoms, vulnerable and culpable and need to consider some big questions: How well do we manage our data? How inclusive are our development practices? How broadly and deeply do we think about the impact of what we build and deploy before we scale it for our customer base?<\/p>\n
We need to move forward with intent. We need to govern our digital spaces. A necessary first step towards that goal involves designers examining\u2014with honesty and introspection\u2014our role in the creation of what\u2019s online. The World Wide Web is nothing more than the accumulation of what digital makers have put there. We made this mess, and we need to talk about how we are going to clean it up.<\/p>\n
Digital governance expert Lisa Welchman will reflect on how 25 years of passionate and agile web development got us where we are today, and the consequences of the lack of self-governance by the digital maker community. She will show us a path forward from this mess, outlining questions we can ask and steps we can take to govern better what we have created and what we will create in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
