Where do you start?
What do you do?
What is UX?
![Page 5: Ux strategy - the secret sauce that defines the pixie dust](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/58a5e4f91a28abd14d8b6a2d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
� User experience is the sum of a series of
interactions between people, devices, and

A simple definition of “UX”

So, what is the UX of Poznań?
It rather depends on which
street corner you are standing
![Page 28: Ux strategy - the secret sauce that defines the pixie dust](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/58a5e4f91a28abd14d8b6a2d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Good UX? For whom?
![Page 29: Ux strategy - the secret sauce that defines the pixie dust](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/58a5e4f91a28abd14d8b6a2d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Define your UX goals
Do your research

A couple of questions …
Do you have a successful product yet?
Or are you now looking for your
second successful product?
![Page 31: Ux strategy - the secret sauce that defines the pixie dust](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/58a5e4f91a28abd14d8b6a2d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
“This could be
SOOOOO cool!”

So, let’s talk about
“strategy” and “tactics”
![Page 38: Ux strategy - the secret sauce that defines the pixie dust](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/58a5e4f91a28abd14d8b6a2d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Why you decided to go to a conference is
a goal
What event you chose to attend is
strategic
How you choose your sessions is
tactical

� They are not communicated correctly
� Not all departments are “on the same page”
� The senior directors are not involved at all
� The strategy is vague or unclear
� The strategy does not ensure measurability
� UX is considered a buzzword, not a tool

If you don’t know where you’re going,
you’ll never get there.
![Page 78: Ux strategy - the secret sauce that defines the pixie dust](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030210/58a5e4f91a28abd14d8b6a2d/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups Heinz Ketchup (use no other!)
3 tablespoons barbeque spice (Sexton, Santa Maria, whatever)
3 tablespoons vinegar
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon each of:
white pepper
black pepper
cayenne
sweet chili
liquid smoke (optional)
Mix it all up in a pot over low heat. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes to make sure the sugar is completely
dissolved. Stir regularly. Thin with bourbon as needed.
If you cannot get liquid smoke, use smoked paprika. This works well, too.
If you add a little canning preservative (typically sodium benzoate), you can keep this in the refrigerator
indefinitely.
Do NOT use this like ketchup on a burger. You need to slather it on during the final minutes of cooking so
the sugar caramelises and thereby cuts the sweetness a bit.
