The document discusses different methods for communicating the business value of user experience research to stakeholders. It provides examples of quantifying value in terms of time saved, opportunity cost, errors avoided, false starts prevented, and safety improvements. Each method is described in terms of when it works best, challenges to consider, and examples. The overall goal is to make the case for engaging in early and frequent UX research.

- 17. Time SavedUsing the hourly rate of end users to quantify the value of faster processes and workflows ($/hr.) x hrs. saved x annual count of process x total users Works best with • Internal users • Low time saved / High user volume • Stakeholders love numbers • Need fast, reliable quantification Challenges • Assumes compensation only for productive time • Need rate knowledge • We’ve found to be lowest value Moving data from one application to another required manual unit conversion. $200 x 0.25hrs. x 30 x 400 = $600,000/yr.
- 18. Opportunity CostCalculating the value of what users would be doing with time saved What would your day look like if you didn’t have to do this? What would you do with 2 extra hours? 2 extra days? What do you wish you could be doing? Works best with • In-depth interviews, work shadows • Users with specialized skill sets • Making the case that improving efficiency is worth it • Users who feel like there’s “never enough time” • Larger amount of time saved Challenges • Quantification requires direct questioning • Time saved may be non-productive Processes to ensure wells are running as expected allowed no time for optimizing output. $2M/day
- 19. ErrorsUsing the cost of past errors to predict the value of identifying and solving the cause Did anything ever go wrong using this? Did problems ever occur with your work-arounds? Works best with • Users relying on work-arounds • Older software • Data movement across products • Manual processes in longer workflows • High-risk/high-value activities Challenges • May be no past costly errors • Need to ask directly • Users may be embarrassed or withholding • May report others’ experiences A work-around for a cumbersome process allowed a typo to go unnoticed. Resulted in a well shut-in for 14 days. $20M
- 20. False StartsSaving the cost of developing a product that wouldn’t work Design $ + development $ + implementation $ Works best with • Research is engaged early • Research drives design/development decisions • Stakeholders value research • Stakeholders already think they have the solution • Evaluations to guide vendor product purchase decisions Challenges • Can be difficult to convince stakeholders findings are valid • Need estimate cost of potential productStakeholders believed a mobile application would improve complex calculation workflows. Users reported needing two screens and multiple hours. $2M saved
- 21. SafetyDecreasing injury risk for users Is there anything about this process that makes you nervous? Have you ever felt discomfort or unsafe while doing this? Works best with • High-risk work processes • Reducing user time in a dangerous activity or location • Organizations with a safety culture • Contextual inquiry • Repetitive processes with ergonomic risks Challenges • Difficult to quantify • Users may be hesitant to reveal unsafe practices or work-arounds Data quality issues were related to analog dials and monthly, pen-and-paper data collection. Higher tech solutions are at risk of being stolen by pirates. Decreased boat time in pirated waters.
