Implement and Mature Your User Experience Design Practice

Better design leads to better organizational performance.

Many organizations want to get to market quickly and on budget but don’t know the steps to get the right product/service to satisfy the users and business. This may be made apparent through uninformed decisions leading to lack of adoption of your product or service, rework due to post-implementation user feedback, or the competition discovering new approaches that outshine yours.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

Ensure your practice has a clear understanding of the design problem space – not just the solution. An understanding of the user is critical to this.

Impact and Result

  • Create a practice that is focused on human outcomes; it starts and ends with the people you are designing for. This includes:
    • Establishing a practice with a common vision.
    • Enhancing the practice through four design factors.
    • Communicating a roadmap to improve your business through design.
  • Create a practice that develops solutions specific to the needs of users, customers, and stakeholders.
