ID Power Hour: Ghosted — Creating high-impact learning when the expert disappears
Ghosted: The Art of the Workaround
Creating high-impact learning when the expert disappears
We’ve all been there.
The deadline is looming.
The SME said “I’ll get back to you.”
And then… nothing.
No context. No feedback. No answers. Just vibes and a half-built deck.
Ghosted is a ID Power Hour thought experiment for learning designers who keep shipping anyway. This won’t be a sit-back-and-listen session—we’ll think together, talk together, and pressure-test ideas in real time.
We’ll explore questions like:
What can we responsibly design without an expert?
Where do we draw the line between assumption and insight?
What workarounds actually hold up—and which ones quietly fail?
How do we make confident calls when no one’s confirming them?
Bring your stories, your half-formed opinions, your hot takes, and your unresolved dilemmas. This is a shared space to reflect, challenge, and co-create better ways of working when we’re left in the dark.
Join us to think out loud, learn from each other, and turn being ghosted into a design skill—not a blocker.
See you there,
Catherine, Damla
