What's the Story? From Tactical to Strategic - Creating a Corporate Research Framework

•

1 gostou•262 visualizações

You have a research team. You sit in meetings. Your team is developing a healthy research repertoire, including usability testing sessions, stakeholders interviews, expert reviews, and even manage to cram in the occasional remote testing project. Things are looking good. You have a ton of insights coming in and the project teams are committed to applying the learnings in upcoming releases. But well-meaning stakeholders POs and PMs are still chasing quarterly objectives and you get the feeling the team is treading water and not advancing any real knowledge. Insights are unstructured, and it seems like you are running the same tests without developing any new major insights. The Wall of User Knowledge is upon you and you feel you haven’t even scraped its surface. How can your research become predictive rather than reactive? How can you model user behaviour and build your insights into a company-wide tool? In a nutshell, how do you move from tactical to strategic? This talk will focus on showcasing UX research transformation by showing different methods and tools to systematise insights and user knowledge into cohesive customer stories linked to experience streams. From note taking to advanced coding, from creating basic reference reports to developing a complete research framework, this talk will focus on the methods and structures that go into achieving a research delivery and modelling frame that can frame real user knowledge as a team narrative. Presented by Alberto Ferreira

1. “Corporate” isn't a dirty word

First rule for

To do User Research means that you ARE in an
inﬂuential position.

Nurture relationships.
Establish communication
channels.
10 — UXPA International Conference Puerto Rico 2018 www.uxpa2018.org #UXPA2018

Stop soft-resetting business
knowledge with each successive
project.

Designing Great Dashboards for SaaS and Enterprise Applications

Design for Context

This document outlines best practices for designing dashboards, including answering meaningful questions about the user and their goals, providing relevant role-based views of data, using appropriate visualization metaphors, and balancing instance-level and rollup data views. The presentation discusses common dashboard patterns and components, when an application might need a dashboard, and how to ensure a good user experience.

Delicious Design

Design for Context

Many of us work in wireframes and lightweight interactive prototypes to capture, illustrate, discuss, and refine the layout and behavior of the interface we are working on — to design the user experience. And we recognize that visual design is critical for getting to polished, usable, and delightful user experiences. Sometimes, user experience designers are responsible for executing the detailed visual design, but often that is handled by someone else, a visual design specialist. What are the best ways to facilitate the understanding of the design intent and the communication between the experience design and visual design roles, throughout the lifecycle of a project? Rachel Sengers and Jennifer Chaffee provide practical ideas and recommendations for ensuring a smooth and effective collaboration between people in UX design and visual design roles.

User Experience Design Considerations for Multi-Museum Collaborations

Design for Context

We increasingly engage in projects where we are asked to accommodate multiple collections, sites, and institutions into the planning, data modeling, and overall user experience. And we see a trend where grant funders actively encourage collaborations, so these kinds of digital projects may become common. It is important to think beyond the typical patterns of grouping sets of objects into institution-specific views, or presenting a mash-up as if it is just one big collection. As we think about collaborations involving online collections, we have identified human-centered user experience considerations and requirements to share with the community.

With Users Like These Who Needs Enemies?

Huge

This panel proposal discusses how user-centered design must adapt to changing user behaviors and expectations. The presenter, Brandon Schmittling from Huge, will examine how historical developments led to user-centered design and discuss how the "Innovative User" will impact design challenges going forward. The talk will define the Innovative User, how their priorities differ, and the feedback mechanisms needed to move past degenerative narratives. The presentation aims to prepare practitioners and leaders for these changing user perspectives.

The goal is to align technology strategies with the organizational vision in a sustainable way.

Design Rationale: 10 Steps to Killing it in Design Reviews

UXPA International

Design Reviews help drive the conversation around design. A good design rationale describes what you want your design to convey. It proves to the audience that you’ve solved the design problem by justifying every element of your design, showing that each and every element plays a part in the design solution. A good design rationale constantly answers the question why, and leaves attendees with a clear understanding of your design concept. This workshop will break down the creation of a strong design rationale into 10 very doable steps. In this course, you will learn: The 10 steps to developing a strong design rationale Exercises to help craft a compelling story Different tools to get you started How to deal with difficult people/strong personalities Best practices to help you drive the outcomes you need Participants will come away with the tools they need to be successful in their next Design Review. There will be time for questions and real-world practice as well.

UXPA 2015 UX Strategy Tutorial

Stephen Denning

UX Strategy is a term that has been around for quite a while but is often not really well understood or implemented in business. Some companies have dedicated UX teams while others have a single UX champion who is struggling to make sense or identify what UX means to their organisation. How can organisations start thinking about how to bake UX into how they work? This tutorial at UXPA 2015 in San Diego, CA, took a pragmatic look at deconstructing what UX and UX strategy means to organisations, and looked at a framework to provide practical strategies to help connect UX Strategy to Business Strategy with the aim of truly embedding user insights and user centered design into the culture of their organisations.

First Impressions Matter: Onboarding for First Time Users

Design for Context

This document appears to be a presentation about designing effective onboarding experiences for first-time users. It discusses 7 design principles for onboarding: 1) Present a clear value proposition, 2) Minimize login/account creation, 3) Provide a simple setup process, 4) Avoid a blank slate, 5) Allow users to immediately do something with results, 6) Import existing user data, and 7) Orient users with built-in demonstrations. Examples of mobile apps, web apps, and devices that exemplify these principles are presented, along with screenshots.

Micro-visualizations: Small Visualizations that Make a Big Impact

Design for Context

Presentation by Rachel Sengers and Lisa Battle at the UXDC2017 conference in Washington, DC, on April 15, 2017. We hear a lot about visualizations for big data these days, but what about small data? The power of communicating data visually can’t be overstated. When designing for expert users, we often need to convey a lot of information at a glance to help them make quick decisions and work efficiently. For infrequent or novice users, a visual overview of a process or concept can provide orientation and help reduce the risk of mistakes. Enter the micro-visualization, a way of packaging detailed information in an easily digestible, visual way. In this presentation, we present examples of several different types of micro-visualizations and discuss how they can be used effectively to improve user experience.

Andrea Picchi

Throughout most of history, business strategy has been shaped using a quantitative approach. Today, in a world permeated by ubiquitous digital services, the most relevant aspect of a business's value is shaped by qualitative attributes. In this scenario design thinking can help companies to uncover the intangible value hidden behind their products and help them to build long lasting customer relationships.

Institutionalization of user experience chaitanya inamdar

apgionline

The document discusses institutionalizing user experience and design thinking approaches within an agile software development process at Siemens Technology and Services Pvt Ltd. Research found gaps in incorporating user and design perspectives in requirements. Initiatives were started to introduce UX processes and train people. An iterative UX process was developed aligned with SAFe principles. Over time, the process was formalized and supported more projects, and designathon events helped increase awareness and find champions. Further work is needed to standardize templates and fully institutionalize the approach.

Creating Personal Profiles Across Time and Distance

Design for Context

Video available: http://www.designforcontext.com/insights/personal-profiles-time-distance-smartdata2015 Personal data capture and algorithmic modeling of user preferences and interests is maturing. While its effect is felt most strongly in commercial activities and marketing, long-term value to the individual and society will arise in other disciplines like education, cultural heritage, health, and social engagement. But longitudinal user interest modeling is challenging. It is also important to be able to share that model across multiple institutions and domains, even across country borders. And what is the role of the individual user? This talk explores some of the model-building considerations for longitudinal preference management, how adaptive interfaces might play a role, as well as the way that users could interact with a model at a particular time in an application, to reflect their immediate needs and context. Presented at SmartData 2015 conference, San Jose, CA, 19-Aug-2015

Who's Using Our Product? A Story of Enterprise UX Research

UXPA International

In the world of continuous improvement, there is a concept called ‘gemba’ – or the personal observation of real work happening in its real place. Within the oft-maligned enterprise software design space, accessing actual end-users can be extremely difficult... figuring out who's using our product can be seemingly impossible! As a user researcher, how do you gain an understanding of the current product and inform future design decisions? How do you navigate your way to meaningful insights? Within our own user research team at Intralinks, we have been figuring out ways to unlock access to the end-users of our enterprise file-sharing product. It has proved far more challenging than we expected. Here we aim to go beyond a list of cliché lessons by sharing our practical and tactical steps to: identifying customer ‘ownership,’ gaining access to customer information, gauging customer temperament, accounting for product strategy, accelerating learning, and more.

Building Bridges with Taxonomy: Enabling Semantic Integration

Design for Context

Taxonomies should be designed with enough flexibility and transition points to be a bridge to other taxonomies and datasets. Enabling your taxonomy to fit into the larger universe of partner companies, industry standards, federal requirements and complementary term sets gives it a solid foundation for future growth. We explore which vocabulary sets are available for reuse by the enterprise information architect and demonstrate how thinking about semantic integration from the beginning of the design process helps build a taxonomy that endures.

Competitive Analysis: Strategic UX Spy Games - Lyle Kantrovich

UXPA International

A Competitive Analysis is a great way UX teams can benchmark, generate ideas, learn about users, and stretch their thinking about design and UX strategy. A UX-centric competitive analysis is very different than what you’ll find outlined in any business book. This presentation outlines an approach for conducting competitive analysis even if your company or product “has no competitors”. This session will show you what a competitive analysis is, why it’s useful, when to do one, how to do it, and what the deliverable should include. You’ll also learn how a competitive analysis can help reinvigorate your organization’s focus on UX.

II-SDV 2016 Irene Kitsara - Patent Landscape Reports and Other WIPO Activitie...

Dr. Haxel Consult

WIPO started work in the area of patent analytics in 2010 with a Development Agenda project on “Developing Tools for Access to Patent Information” which resulted in the production of a series of Patent Landscape Reports (WIPO’s patent landscape reports can be found here). These reports, prepared in cooperation with various UN Agencies, non-governmental organizations, research institutes and national IP Offices, analyze patent activity in various topics in the areas of public health, food and agriculture, environment and energy, and disabilities. The key findings are often summarized in an infographic. In 2013 WIPO started working also on awareness raising and capacity building in the area of patent analytics. Apart from various workshops organized on this topic, WIPO published in September 2015 the “Guidelines for Preparing Patent Landscape Reports”. The Guidelines describe the objectives and motivations for preparing Patent Landscape Reports (PLR) and other types of patent analysis, the tasks associated with patent analytics, as well as the stages in the preparation of PLRs, providing also some insights from WIPO’s experience in the area. Since 2015 WIPO is exploring open source tools for patent analytics purposes in the framework of the preparation of a Manual on Open Source Tools for Patent Analytics. Open source tools are typically used by other disciplines, usually business/data analysts, statisticians, IT professionals and scientists, rather than with regard to patent data. Nevertheless, in recent years they started emerging as an alternative and/or a complement to ready-to-use tools, providing flexibility and adaptability in different analysis types. In view of the necessary programming related to this type of tools, WIPO developed step-by-step instructions in the Manual with example datasets, and will provide capacity building activities with training on patent analytics for Technology and Innovation Technology Support Centers (TISCs) around the world (for more information on the TISC program please visit www.wipo.int/tisc) .

Gathering user insights for better APNIC services

APNIC

The document discusses APNIC's efforts to gather user insights and community feedback to improve its services. It describes APNIC's policy development process, which relies on input from community members, consensus decisions, and secretariat implementation. It also outlines APNIC's biennial member survey conducted by independent consultants to understand challenges, evaluate APNIC's performance, and inform strategic planning. Additional methods for obtaining community input mentioned include attending events, discussions, questions, publishing roadmaps for feedback, and new tools for collecting feedback like surveys and focus groups. The document encourages community members to provide input through various channels to help APNIC better serve the community.

Re-use and Recycle: Building sustainable relationships with your users

UXPA International

Usually, the primary goal of user research is to answer specific questions about a design. But what happens when you shift your primary objective from conducting research to “building a lasting relationship”? The presenters will share stories about how this approach has forever changed the breadth and depth of information that they learn about users, and how it’s actually made some of the hardest parts of enterprise research, such as recruiting users, easier. You'll learn about circumstances where this approach is (and is not) appropriate specific tools and techniques to support relationship building how this approach returns richer data which can more deeply impact products (and even the product team's culture) Handouts will be provided. This presentation is best suited for practitioners who work with enterprise or complex multi-use applications, and beginner to intermediate UX practitioners who as part of their job talk to users, regardless of their title.

SMXL Conference - Milan 2018 - Luca Tagliaferro

Luca Tagliaferro

The document outlines a presentation about applying user experience (UX) techniques to improve search engine optimization (SEO). It discusses measuring key UX metrics like dwell time, bounce rate, and pogo sticking that can impact SEO rankings. A case study is presented on how fixing non-clickable links on the Portsmouth City Council website significantly improved metrics like bounce rate and average time on page, leading to a 50% increase in organic traffic from Google. The key takeaway is that testing and improving UX, especially navigation on landing pages, can positively impact SEO without directly being a ranking factor.

What can social psychology teach us about (better) UX research?

UXPA International

This document summarizes a presentation on how social psychology can help improve user experience (UX) research. It discusses how social psychology research requires neutral environments, scripted interactions, clear hypotheses, and random assignment. Specific biases from social psychology like framing effects, anchoring biases, and the Dunning-Kruger effect can influence what users say in studies. The presentation provides recommendations for mitigating these biases to get more valuable insights from user research participants.

Analytics is Taking over the World (Again) - UKOUG Tech'17

Rittman Analytics

Mark Rittman presented at the UKOUG Tech'17 Conference in December 2017. He discussed how analytics has changed business models and driven disruption twice already. The first wave focused on using analytics for operational efficiency. The second wave saw companies like Amazon, Netflix, and Uber build entirely new data-driven business models. Now, a third wave is underway where analytics and machine learning are being embedded into all business applications and fueling new personalized, data-enriched offerings.

UXPA 2023: Start Strong - Lessons learned from associate programs to platform...

UXPA International

Imagine creating experiences for your rookie designers’ first couple years that are rewarding, enriching, and full of learning — without taking all your time or energy to manage. We’ll share techniques any team leader can put into practice using real-life examples from associate programs, apprenticeships, and internships. Topics include onboarding, varied work challenges, developing multiple capabilities, buddy systems, group sharing, guest speakers, time with executives, and mentorship. We’ll also share how to operationalize learning, soft skills like communication and collaboration, setting boundaries, time management, achieving deep work, and more skills we all wish we were explicitly taught early on. We’ll focus on modern-day associate programs, but even if you can’t create a full-fledged program, you’ll leave this session with ideas to use with your fledgling professionals. The benefits go beyond efficiency; it’s a foundation for culture, camaraderie, autonomy, and mastery.

UXPA International

The document discusses the role of user experience (UX) in helping organizations score well on the environmental component of their ESG score. It provides examples of UX practices that can improve an organization's environmental impact, such as advocating for renewable energy sources, optimizing interaction designs to reduce data usage, shortening journey maps to minimize data transmission, using vector graphics instead of heavy file formats, loading content on demand to reduce page load size and emissions, and publishing reports on sustainability practices and carbon emissions.

UXPA 2023 Poster: The Two Tracks of UX Under Agile: Tactical and Strategic

UXPA International

The document discusses two sub-tracks for UX under Agile: tactical and strategic. The tactical track focuses on quick tasks and improvements from sprint to sprint, reaching delivery quickly. The strategic track takes a mid-to-long term view through exploratory research to inform product vision and objectives. It recommends doing both tracks simultaneously when possible and prioritizing strategy to balance short-term delivery and long-term planning.

UXPA 2023: Data science and UX: Smarter together

UXPA International

User experience can be drastically elevated by combining data science insights with user-based insights from research. Data analytics on its own can make themes and correlations difficult to explain and to provide accurate recommendations. For example, themes identified via large global surveys and usage data can be better understood with UX insights from focused user research, such as user interviews and/or cognitive walkthroughs. This presentation will highlight the complimentary nature of data science and UX and will focus on the benefits of bringing the two disciplines together. This will be buttressed with practical examples of enterprise projects and applications that combined data and skills from the two disciplines, guidance on how the two disciplines can better work together, and the skills needed to improve as a UX professional when working with data science teams.

UXPA 2023: UX Fracking: Using Mixed Methods to Extract Hidden Insights

UXPA International

Users do not always accurately describe what they mean or feel. There are many reasons for this, ranging from politeness to poor introspection, to lack of sufficient technical vocabulary. Fortunately, UX researchers have tools in their trade to deduce what was really meant. We call this UX Fracking, a mixed methods approach that is optimized for extracting hidden user insights. We will illustrate the dangers of inadequate, superficial research, and how this may lead to outcomes incapable of addressing the users’ core issues. We will explore ways to avoid these pitfalls by leveraging mixed research methods to test hypotheses about the users’ intent and needs. This starts with a thorough understanding of who the user is, their goals, and how they work today, to an approach that combines surveys, interviews, and comment analysis with behavioral observation, and finally, validating the newly discovered user insights with the users themselves.

UXPA 2023 Poster: Are virtual spaces the future of video conferencing?

UXPA International

Virtual spaces are simulated environments that can range from VR to 2D interfaces, touted as the future of video conferencing. However, they may pose accessibility issues and not be preferred over traditional non-spatial platforms. While virtual spaces could enhance social connection, their complexity risks excluding some users. A combined platform allowing choice of interface could provide an improved experience while maintaining inclusiveness.

UXPA 2023: Learn how to get over personas by swiping right on user roles

UXPA International

This session walks through the concept of user roles as an alternative to personas as a means to generate and disseminate user insights for product development teams. We will describe the tools and methods used to create a research database organized by user roles, along with examples and short exercises to help attendees think through user roles within their own context. By the end of the session, attendees should be aware of tools and approaches for: Organizing user research information in a database Disseminating user role information to product and design teams Managing a user roles database as part of a long term UX Research program If you’re ready to ditch personas but don’t know how, this session is for you!

UXPA 2023: F@#$ User Personas

UXPA International

We will present a case study that details our approach for replacing user personas with user roles for a multi-national SAAS company. We will take the audience on a journey that starts with an executive request for personas, travels through the tribulations of realizing personas suck, and concludes with convincing others to accept a new and innovative way to understand the people who use the product. Our key message is that personas lack real value for organizations that already understand the importance of empathizing with users. Building user-centered products requires easily accessible and well organized user insights. We will discuss defining users through a process of stakeholder consultation and content review, and structuring data around Jobs to Be Done and product interactions. We will also discuss the dissemination of user roles in our organization using relational databases, interactive dashboards and online wikis. Spoiler alert, our stakeholders loved user roles!

UXPA 2023: Experience Maps - A designer's framework for working in Agile team...

UXPA International

Agile Methodology refers to software design and development methodologies centered around the idea of iterative design and development, where requirements and concepts evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams. Thus, Agile enables teams to deliver value faster, with greater quality and predictability, and greater aptitude to respond to change. With evolving product features every design sprint, designers & researchers find it difficult to follow the design process. This sometimes leads to designs delivered in haste or sub-par design artifacts which result in UX debt. UX debt is accumulated when design teams take actions or shortcuts to expedite the delivery of a piece of functionality or a project which later needs to be refactored. It is the result of prioritizing speedy delivery of design to the development team over a perfect experience journey. Experience Maps is a great tool to practice UX in Agile as well as manage UX Debt.

How to build a UX Department from scratch, in an environment they think UX people do social media posters and posts! An agile implementation just started, and people are moving from a waterfall and ad-hoc mindset to agility. In this session, I will talk about my Journey to establish a UX Department for a company that is part of a global brand, but this local branch just started the digital transformation movement. Challenges like: spreading awareness and educating people about UX, hiring the right team, defining the right team structure, establishing workflow and day-to-day operations, and applying localization (non-western culture).

UXPA 2023: High-Fives over Zoom: Creating a Remote-First Creative Team

UXPA International

I started my current job in March of 2020. Many of us remember something clearly about the month that COVID started to shut things down. I remember being surprised to hear that my new on-site-only job would be starting in my living room over zoom. How do you lead a design team when none of the team members live near each other and creativity is highly collaborative? Taking from over a decade of working in HR software, I knew whatever I did needed to put people first. That what employees love about a job is often deeper than the work, it’s the culture, the relationships and people they work with. It’s the feeling that their work has value, and their contribution matters. In this talk I will walk though some of the rituals and best practices I have learned over the last two years building a remote-first creative team.

UXPA 2023: Behind the Bias: Dissecting human shortcuts for better research & ...

UXPA International

As humans, we are biased by design. Our intricate and fascinating brains have developed shortcuts through centuries of human evolution. They reduce an unimaginable load of paralyzing decisions, keep us alive, and help us navigate this complex world. Now, these life saving biases affect how we behave with modern technology. Understanding some of the theories and reasons why these biases exist is the key to unlocking their power. In this workshop we will cover some theories around how the brain works. We will review some of our mental shortcuts, take a look at some common biases, and learn how they affect our users, our research, and our designs. Lastly we will review some advantages of biases, and ways to identify and reduce bias. This workshop is targeted for designers who do their own research, and researchers looking to learn more about removing bias from their studies.

UXPA International

This document summarizes the redesign of the Pro Power Onboard feature for electric vehicles from Ford. It discusses how the original gasoline-powered version used a radial dial interface but this would not work for an electric truck with more circuits. User research found the need for increased power and outlets in more locations. An iterative design process involved brainstorming, paper prototyping, and usability testing to create a horizontal gauge interface with on/off and range preservation settings. The final design was validated through testing truck prototypes up to production. Lessons included considering the user experience first and proactive stakeholder involvement.
