This workshop introduces and focuses on the same basic interpersonal dynamics and relationship principles that make ComplexAbility a collaboration effectiveness game-changing toolset -- with the added twist of looking at complex relationships, not between people, but between people and interactive technology!.

This workshop is based on Ary Ziv's PhD dissertation research and theory on unconscious feeling and relational phenomena that defines our digital lives. The dissertation itself is a very far cry from "user-friendly", therefore, this workshop introduces the multidisciplinary ideas in plain and intuitive concepts. You will never think about digital technology the same again -- both in yours and your family's day-to-day personal lives and professionally, every time digital products and services come into play. Through this deeply-psychological and, at the same time, practical framework, whether you design or build digital technology, implement or utilize, your perspective will expand into new understanding about what's happening as our feelings become increasingly entrenched with and bonded to digital interactive technology. 

This workshop is broken out into three parts:

In the first segment, the concept of psychological value is introduced as context for interpersonal, relational, and conscious-unconscious psychological understanding of interactions between people and algorithms.

In the second segment, a new perspective is built around understanding the subtle but extremely impactful dynamics characterizing human-digital technology interactive relationships. What makes them so powerful and seemingly inescapable? From a deeply psychological perspective, what makes them tremendously advantageous and beneficial and, at the same time, how are they most dangerous?

The third segment focuses on relevant application of this knowledge/insights for practical purposes, in day to day live and professionally. Participants practice employing new understanding in use cases and relevant examples.
