  23. Christopher Simmons - http://www.aiga.org/content.cfm/what-design-cant-do
    If you want to be a brand, you have to work from the
    inside out. A great logo isn’t going to make a shitty
    product any less shitty, any more than a hard worker
    is going to make a bad boss a compelling leader.’

    is simple
    1. Have a vision of a future state
    2. Set goal to help achieve vision
    3. Work out plan to achieve goal

    5. Celebrate

  27. the way most business
    works these days
    makes good UX
    hard to do.
    - Short term focus
    - Functional accounting
    - Functional silos
    - Hierarchical rewards
    - Distance of management from customers
    - Shareholder value rather than customer value

  34. ‘With respect to the definition of
    business purpose and business
    mission, there is only one such
    focus, one starting point.
    It is the customer.
    The customer
    defines the business’
    - Peter Drucker
    Management: Tasks, Responsibilities, Practice

    View Slide

  35. What the customer thinks he or she is
    buying, what he or she considers value is
    decisive – it determines what a business
    is, what it produces, and whether it will
    prosper. And what the customer buys
    and considers value is never a product.
    It is always a utility – that is, what a product
    or service does for him or her.
    And what is value for the customer is
    anything but obvious.

  66. 1. Grocery Company
    Value Proposition:
    Eat amazingly well but don’t spend hours shopping and chopping.
    Target Audience:
    Our typical customer lives in a large city. They are highly career focussed
    professionals, spending a lot of time working but are well rewarded for their efforts.
    They are time poor and often sacrifice their health through not making time to eat well
    or exercise, however they say that their health is important to them and they are
    willing to invest in effective solutions to achieve better health. If they got to impress
    their friends/colleagues in the process that would be an added bonus. Tech savvy.
    Business Model:
    The business has dual revenue sources: membership fees and goods/services sold.
    The model requires a relatively small number of high value customers predominantly
    acquired through referral. Relationships with suppliers are critical to maximise
    margins.
    Experience Strategy:
    Offer a highly personalised experience and seek to achieve the high standards of
    customer service our target audience expects.

    Tom Treto
    Head of IT at international bank.
    42yrs, long term girlfriend, Sara (36yrs)
    KEY SCENARIO:
    It’s Sunday night, Tom is getting ready for a big
    week at work and planning his schedule, while
    he is doing this he is trying to plan to eat some
    healthy meals at home and at work and place an
    order for food he needs for the week.
    Works long hours and socialises a lot but likes
    to entertain at home occasionally and really
    making an effort to watch what he eats.
    Recently started doing the ‘Paleo’ diet because
    friends recommended it.

  67. Value Proposition:
    Finding you the best way to work.
    Target Audience:
    Our typical customer lives in a large city. They travel to work on weekdays and have
    up to 3-4 destinations that they regularly travel to (eg. their office + a couple of
    clients/partners offices). They have multiple transport options available to them and
    want to get to work as quickly and easily as possible every day.
    Business Model:
    The business relies on the typical ticketing/pay per use revenue but will be looking
    to supplement this with either advertising revenue or a ‘premium’ offering in the
    near future
    Experience Strategy:
    We think so you don’t have to. Wherever possible making the system smart and
    predicting our customers needs to minimise the thought and effort they need to put
    into commuting.

    2. Commuting System
    Greta Feric
    Account Manager at Advertising Agency
    28yrs, single, loves her bicycle and dancing
    KEY SCENARIO:
    It’s Tuesday morning and Greta has a meeting
    with a new client at their offices. She was
    planning to cycle but has woken to find it raining
    so now needs to find the best travel route.
    Greta is the main representative for her
    company to some of their biggest clients and
    is often going out to visit them in their offices,
    Most days she cycles to work but not when it’s
    raining.

  88. top down
    current business practices make it virtually
    impossible for companies to deliver
    consistently good UX
    this is our most important, long term,

    way it should be.

  89. bottom up
    big change takes time (optimistic estimate 5yrs)
    use strategic UX model to frame ‘naive’ questions for clarity
    around business strategy and offer assistance by facilitation
    we can’t wait for change before we act.
    use strategic UX create frameworks for bridging silos to build
    a shared understanding of a more holistic customer
