At the next meetup in April we meet at University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien (FH Technikum Wien) in Vienna. This time we will have two talks and both topics are related to customer onboarding experiences.

Onboarding Co-Experience at Erste Bank

Raphael Fehrer, UX-Architect @ Erste Digital
Over the past few years, customer advising has evolved from one-sided presentations by advisors to collaborative efforts with customers. However, this shift towards joint collaboration is often taken for granted and not explicitly addressed. In this talk, I will explore how we at Erste Bank are actively working to develop co-experience concepts for our customer onboarding process through extensive research, enhancing the way we engage and connect with our customers.

How fast can you fix a HealthTech onboarding experience? Spoiler: Fast!

Melita Balaski, Product Design Consultant
We all know what happens when users struggle to complete a process or, worse, abandon it altogether. Now imagine launching a complicated HealthTech onboarding experience without the essential steps of research, user testing, or thoughtful design. Through a real-world case study, discover how a lean team tackles a demanding relaunch timeline and implements actionable strategies rapidly to turn this frustrating user experience into a success.

At the next meetup in March we meet at willhaben in Vienna. The agenda for this evening will be:

• 18:30 Doors open
• 19:00 Welcome, Round of Introduction & Talks:
  UX Research and business growth by Katerina Ivanova & Martin Müller
  UX Utopia – Experience Design form a Speculative Perspektive by Melanie Daveid
• 20:45 Drinks & Wraps

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.

At the next meetup in February we meet at Eversports in Vienna with two interesting talks.

Ethics in UX Design

by Amirhossein Shamlou – Head of Product Design, Eversports
In the realm of User Experience (UX) Design, where aesthetics meet user functionality, ethical considerations play a crucial role. This presentation addresses the balance between creating engaging digital experiences and maintaining ethical integrity. We’ll explore key issues like privacy, accessibility, and inclusivity, and discuss the impact of design choices on users. Our focus is to highlight the importance of ethical practices in UX design, ensuring that digital products are not only effective but also responsible and user-friendly.

AI-powered UX Design Tools

by Tom Zahler – Co-founder and Managing Director, intuio GmbH
AI has come to change the landscape of design tools for UX professionals. Let’s examine a few of those tools a bit more closely, and see how advanced their use of AI already is in their products. Are they really useful for the task of designing interfaces and interactions? Some promise to come up with entire designs based only on a text prompt, or to convert a screenshot into an editable design. Many are still in Beta or offer access via a waitlist only. How does Midjourney fare as a user interface designer? Can it help with creating UI component libraries for design systems? How about Framer as a copywriting assistant? You will get a better understanding of the possible impact and developments that will change our field with the adoption of these new technologies.

Setting up a design system project

by Orsolya Fülöp and Daniel Pillinger

The setup process is a pivotal stage in crafting a cohesive design system. It begins with evaluating existing design elements, followed by collaborative definition of core principles. Implementation involves creating reusable components and patterns. Our systematic approach establishes a foundation for consistency, efficiency, and collaboration in design and development.

Labelling The Web

by Nicolas Bernadowitsch, Senior UX Designer, Accenture Song

Sometimes we forget to add labels to user interface elements. How does that happen and why is it a problem? Is it even necessary? Let’s talk about accessible names and labelling the web.

UX writing: How to advocate for clarity in digital bureaucracy

by Dominik Vaszily, Content Designer, Lighting Beetle*

The digital transformation of a prestigious public institution serving hundreds of millions of people presents unique challenges. How do you keep the content clear and consistent despite its legal complexities? Dominik will share his experience implementing a user-centric approach at the European Patent Office, unifying expert terminology for diverse user groups and digital tools. Ultimately, it’s about making public services accessible to everyone.

Making the business value of design visible

by Marion Haidacher, Head of Account Management at Liechtenecker

Let’s talk numbers baby! But how? UX-Design is only about making things “pretty“, right? So wrong. Because if you ask us, design is so much more and contributes significantly to the achievement of corporate goals. In this talk, we will give you useful tips on how you can communicate this within your company or in front of your customers.

Pebbles move,​ boulders don‘t – implementing usability test findings successfully in a complex scrum project setup (Johanna Schauerhofer & Michael Bechinie)

Usability testing is one of the most important user-based methods in the human-centred design process to optimize the user experience. In our talk we will share our experience of implementing continuous incorporation of the results of user-based evaluation methods. The learnings will focus on a large-scale scrum project in the context of a financial business application. We will discuss the evolutionary steps of our approach with the goal to ensure the highest possible implementation rate of usability test findings.

An alien goes UX meetup or: how to overcome the user obsession problem (Wolfgang Goebl)

I  (an IT guy) – have worked with UX professionals on many implementation projects. I appreciate their user obsession, reflected in every UX design they want to have implemented by software developers. In stark contrast, however, I’ve seen too many projects where the UX designs were, at best, just good initial input. In those projects, the actual UX design & implementation was done by software developers.    

Asking ChatGPT “What criticism is there of UX Design?” leads to some validation of my observations: “The UX discipline neglects other aspects of design, such as technical feasibility, economic profitability or social responsibility. UX focuses mainly on the usage phase of the product or service, without considering the impacts on other phases of the realisation”.

Wouldn’t it be lovely to increase the impact of UX by setting up a true co-design process of UX, implementation, and other relevant aspects of realisation in a seamless approach?

In this talk I will cover topics like:

• how to design user experiences as part of a more holistic enterprise design approach
• how to smash down the walls between UX and software architecture to enable a true co-design approach
• how the facet of “experience” should be complemented by “architecture” and “identity” to create better enterprises?
