Users 2.0

Users are smarter “From relative ignorance, end users are becoming increasingly IT savvy-

able not only to use technology, but also to develop their own solutions.”*

Users have more options “In the old days, the only way employees could access most software or

hook up a new piece of hardware was with help. Today, the list of tools an employee can use without IT help is more than extensive.”*

Users demand more “Users increasingly demand that company-issued technology be as easy

to use and feature-rich as the technology that they can purchase at most retail outlets.”* *CIO Magazine

User Experience

How anyone who interacts with your product, service, or your company

experience those interactions

Experiences happen, whether or not you plan them.

When not intentionally designed, there’s a much higher likelihood

of the experience being poor.

User Experience is NOT…

1.  User interface design It is the system 2.  A step in the process It is the process 3.  Just about technology It is about behavior

4.  Just about usability It is about value 5.  Just about the user It is about context 6.  Expensive (1:10:100) It is flexible 7.  Easy It is a balancing act

8.  The role of one person or dept It is a culture 9.  A single discipline It is a collaboration 10.  A choice It is a means of survival

The value of technology is realized through its adoption and use.

The extent of adoption and use depends upon User Experience.

A great User Experience is grounded in a user centered design.
