DESCRIPTION

When UX strategy drives innovation, the end result is more than technical capability and beautiful interfaces: it is an experience differentiated by helping people surpass their goals and exceeding their expectations while delivering engaging, motivating, enjoyable, and memorable experiences. How can we plan and work toward new products and services while keeping the user in mind? How can we adopt and implement UX strategy? And, most importantly, how can we change the way we identify and pursue new opportunities so that we are leading the pack rather than chasing the competition? Take UX out of the design studio and include it in strategic research and planning to drive innovation in your business.

It’s more thaninterfaces,

Page 8: UX-Driven Innovation

It’s also more thanproducts and services,

Page 9: UX-Driven Innovation

It’s aboutexperiences.

Page 10: UX-Driven Innovation

They understandtheir customers

very well.

A story of one client…

Page 12: UX-Driven Innovation

Founded in 1960, JELD-WEN employs approximately 20,000 people worldwide and

has window and door manufacturing and distribution locations across the United States

and in more than 20 countries.

And they had a weak digital presence.

Page 13: UX-Driven Innovation

They needed digital services that could serve:ArchitectsBuilders

DesignersHomeowners

And which could compete effectively.

Page 14: UX-Driven Innovation
Page 15: UX-Driven Innovation

The client had key business goals:Tell the product story

Sell productsSupport collaboration

Improve the brand

But we were less clear about the users’ needs.

Page 16: UX-Driven Innovation

There were opportunities to innovate:Smartphones and tablets

In-store experiencesReaching homeowners directly

Mass customization

But we did not know exactly what or how.

Page 17: UX-Driven Innovation

Enter UXBut first, let’s take a moment to discuss

innovation.

Page 18: UX-Driven Innovation

InventDo something never done before.

How can UX lead toinnovation?

Page 25: UX-Driven Innovation

UnderstandStudy and reveal the needs and expectations of the user.

AdvocateMeet the business needs and operate within the technical constraints.

OptimizeMaximize the value of the product vs. the pain of using it.

UX focuses on the user

Page 26: UX-Driven Innovation

Identify & DefineWhat is the problem we should be solving?

FrameWhat is the proper perspective to best understand the problem?

RepresentWhat is the best way to clearly communicate the problem?

UX solves problems

Page 27: UX-Driven Innovation

LiaisonCommunicate among users, business owners, and technologists.

ConsensusDrive toward a shared understanding of the problem.

ValueAcknowledge the benefits to users and the business.

UX translates

Page 28: UX-Driven Innovation

But…

Page 29: UX-Driven Innovation

UX does not need todrive innovation.

Page 30: UX-Driven Innovation

UX shouldfacilitate innovation.

Page 31: UX-Driven Innovation

The best solutions emerge from collaboration.

Page 32: UX-Driven Innovation
Page 33: UX-Driven Innovation

If it takes a team, then why…

Page 34: UX-Driven Innovation

… is it so hard for UX to get a seat?

Page 35: UX-Driven Innovation

IgnoranceLack of understanding about the role

and contributions of UX.

Page 36: UX-Driven Innovation

PovertyNo resources, processes, time, or team.

Page 37: UX-Driven Innovation

SubordinateUX is told what to do after the

key decisions have been made.

Page 38: UX-Driven Innovation

HubrisWe already know our customers

and what they need.

Page 39: UX-Driven Innovation

MisalignmentLack of communication and engagement

among inter-dependent groups.

Page 40: UX-Driven Innovation

FiefdomsOrganizational compartmentalization

and lack of a holistic culture.

Page 41: UX-Driven Innovation

Inward FocusDecisions are made only from the

perspective of the business.

Page 42: UX-Driven Innovation

EgoOne person in power already has all of

the best ideas and solutions.

Page 43: UX-Driven Innovation

There were some challenges:No resources, processes, or team

Focused on the business (not the users)No research on the users

Old technology

We would be starting from scratch.

Page 44: UX-Driven Innovation

If it takes a team,how does UX fit in?

Page 45: UX-Driven Innovation

TraditionalDo we have a solution? Waterfall-y

LeanDo we have the right solution? Iterate-y

AgileDo we have the best solution? Sprint-y

If it takes a team,what does UX bring?

Page 66: UX-Driven Innovation

“Good designers can create normalcy

out of chaos.”

~Jeffrey Veen

Page 67: UX-Driven Innovation

DisassemblyWe take everything apart. Everything.

Minute DetailHow does each part work individually?

Big PictureHow is the whole greater than the sum of the parts?

Inquisitiveness

Page 68: UX-Driven Innovation

Should we “Reduce deaths”…

…or “Maximize quality of life?”

It’s a big puzzle.

Page 69: UX-Driven Innovation

FramingWhat is the context and perspective of the problem and solution?

RepresentationWhat is the best way to communicate the problem and solution?

CritiqueHow can we solicit and provide effective feedback?

Clarity

Page 70: UX-Driven Innovation

Walk many miles in many shoes.

Page 71: UX-Driven Innovation
Page 72: UX-Driven Innovation

Ponder it,we’ll come back…

Page 73: UX-Driven Innovation

CoherenceWhat are the patterns, affinities, and connections?

SynthesisHow do the parts all fit together and join meaningfully?

InsightAre there additional possibilities that may emerge?

Sensemaking

Page 74: UX-Driven Innovation

“Synthesis reveals a cohesion and sense of continuity; synthesis indicates a push towards organization, reduction, and clarity.”

~Jon Kolko

Page 75: UX-Driven Innovation

InductiveWhat is the one best theory or explanation?

DeductiveWhat is the one best answer or solution?

AbductiveWhat are all of the possible explanations and answers.

Types of Reasoning

Page 76: UX-Driven Innovation

DivergeWhat are all of the possible solutions?

RemixHow might the parts all fit together in different ways?

ExploreAre there additional perspectives and possibilities?

Abductive Reasoning

Page 77: UX-Driven Innovation
Page 78: UX-Driven Innovation
Page 79: UX-Driven Innovation
Page 80: UX-Driven Innovation

Related to creativity, insight, and inference A logical way of making “best guesses” and leaps of the imagination.

Challenges the constraintsWhy these constraints? What if they were different?

The “Eureka Moment” is not a moment at allIt only looks that way – it actually took time and effort.

Abductive Reasoning

Page 81: UX-Driven Innovation

UX is a way ofthinking about the world.

Page 82: UX-Driven Innovation

Bringing UX into thebusiness processes.

Page 83: UX-Driven Innovation

A Common Experience…

Page 84: UX-Driven Innovation

Become a Contributor

Page 85: UX-Driven Innovation

Become a Collaborator

Page 86: UX-Driven Innovation

Become a Partner

Page 87: UX-Driven Innovation

Achieving Alignment

Page 88: UX-Driven Innovation

What is the problem we are trying to solve?Frame it in terms of root causes and end goals.

Why are we solving this problem?Match the user needs with the business needs.

How will we know when we have succeeded?Define the baseline, metrics, and victory conditions.
