Implement and Mature Your User Experience Design Practice

Better design leads to better organizational performance.

Book This Workshop

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. Learn how to avoid these challenges:

  • A lack of clarity on the problems to be addressed.
  • Lack of resources who can understand the issues.
  • The organization does not understand how design can help.
  • Unsure how to move beyond solving the problem to understanding what people who use the system are trying to achieve.

Create a practice that is focused on human outcomes – that starts and ends with the people you are designing for:

  • Establish a practice with a common vision.
  • Enhance the practice through four design dimensions.
  • Communicate a roadmap to improve your business through design.
