UX research and business growth
by Katerina Ivanova & Martin Müller, UX Research, willhaben
When looking for new business opportunities, companies often put emphasis on trying things and failing fast, but what is the place of UX research in this process? How do you test the product that doesn’t exist yet? In this talk, we explore the dynamic interplay between business development / growth strategies and user research. By intertwining these two domains, organizations can unlock innovative pathways to foster user-centric growth. We will tackle how user research can reduce risks when validating Feasibility, Desirability and Viability and delve into real-world case studies to see how user insights help develop and refine new business opportunities.
UX Utopia – Experience Design from a Speculative Perspective
by Melanie Daveid, Experience Designer
Patterns, guidelines and processes are the bread and butter of User Experience design. They provide structure and direction based on identified needs. However, it can be easy to fall into a comfortable routine that hinders the progress of the discipline. So, what comes next in UX design? We need to expand our understanding of what constitutes an experience and be willing to explore uncharted territories. Speculative Design offers an opportunity to do just that. It’s time to break free from the status quo and envision the future of Experience Design.
