What's Next in UX is back! User Experience is essential for brand success, but it can be hard to measure due to its subjective nature. So how does a brand or a business know if they are providing an excellent experience and how can they compare to competitors? This is where Ipsos' UX Score comes in. The Ipsos UX Score is a proprietary tool to help clients objectively assess their user experience. The UX Score correlates with Net Promoter Score (NPS) – a widely used customer loyalty metric – and can accurately predict a brand's equity. It can also be used as a benchmark for offline and online experience for physical and digital products. Jacqueline Hull, Senior Vice President, UX USA, is joined by Giulia Stefani, UX Director for Switzerland, to interview Yana Beranek, Global Head of UX, and Janina Schoenebeck, Senior Research Executive, IUU Germany. Together they discuss the Ipsos UX Score and its capabilities.

UX design is still a misunderstood field in games. Therefore, it is hard to hire great UX designers who understand games or game designers who deeply understand UX. How do we solve this human and skills puzzle? In this episode, Olga Marushchak, UX Director at King, will deconstruct what makes a great UX designer. Olga will share practical tools on how to hire and identify great UX designers, when you don't have internally the knowledge yourself.

Francesca Cortesi är CPO (Cheif Product Officer) på Hemnet, hon är därmed ytterst ansvarig för hela Hemnet-produkten - allt från appen till hemsidan. Tillsammans med hennes team, sex stycken Product Managers, en User Researcher och en UX Director, skapar och utvecklar hon en av Sveriges mest älskade produkter. Som CPO på Hemnet måste man vara extra försiktig och verkligen skapa värde för alla de miljoner svenskar som använder deras produkt. I Datadrivet pratar vi mycket om product discovery (även om vi kallar det för produktutveckling), något som även Francesca skriver mycket om på Linkedin och på sin blogg (tips!). Det är inte många som delar med sig av vad man har gjort och framförallt, vad man har gjort för fel. Efter fyra år på Hemnet har Francesca lärt sig en hel del om produktutveckling. Francesca berättar om hur det var att börja på Hemnet som hade en väldigt stark A/B-test-kultur, vilket kan vara både bra och dåligt. Utöver A/B-tester har Hemnet en palett av olika verktyg bland annat superbuzz-ordet ”continuous discovery”. Francesca och hennes team pratar med andra bostadsportaler världen över, som gör Hemnet fast i Frankrike, Spanien, England osv. Genom att inspireras av deras ”peers" utomlands skapade Francesca's team ett smoke-test - en tjänst som heter ”Min bostad”. Tjänsten gick ut på att användarna kan registrera sin bostad och få en värdering samt en uppskattning om efterfrågan. Med hjälp av de andra bostadsportalernas siffror fick Hemnet en slags benchmark att förhålla sig till när de analyserade datan från smoke-testet. Datadrivet är en podd av scilla.studio.

Attraverso il "Search your screen" di Lens sarà possibile cercare ciò che si vede in una foto o in un video sul web e nelle app, senza dover uscire dall'app o dall'esperienza specifica. La funzione di ricerca multipla permetterà di integrare diverse funzionalità di ricerca, come Lens e la ricerca testuale. Infine, Live View utilizzerà l'intelligenza artificiale e la realtà aumentata per trovare luoghi intorno a noi semplicemente mettendo il telefono in posizione verticale mentre siamo per strada. Ne ha parlato con noi Lucia Terrenghi, UX Director di Google. Le Big Tech mettono le AI generative al servizio della pubblicità. AdAge fa il punto sulle ultime novità presentate dalle grandi aziende tecnologiche:Google utilizza l'intelligenza artificiale per aiutare gli operatori del marketing a scegliere la creatività giusta, a stabilire gli obiettivi delle campagne e a indirizzare i consumatori su Internet.Meta impiega l'intelligenza artificiale per offrire raccomandazioni di contenuti agli utenti su Facebook e Instagram. Utilizza anche campagne abilitate dall'AI per cercare il pubblico migliore e servizi di testo generati dall'AI per inviare prodotti e offerte ai consumatori con i suoi annunci "click to message".Snap utilizza l'AI per aiutare a costruire modelli 3D per il suo programma di realtà aumentata.Apple assume il suo primo Capo delle Risorse Umane. Si tratta di Carol Surface, una manager proveniente da Medtronics (azienda impegnata nel campo delle tecnologie biomediche) chiamata ad assumere questo ruolo. L'azienda non aveva alcun Chief People Officer prima della Surface, che come riporta Bloomberg risponderà direttamente al numero uno Tim Cook.

Andy Curry is UX Director at Lion+Mason. In this episode of Understanding Users, Andy reminds us of the power of storytelling as one of UX's most underrated skills and how the basics of observing users to help inform design decisions in essence dates back thousands of years. We discuss the impact of global lockdowns on carrying out ethnographic research, and of the epiphany moments of real insight he and his team gained previously from shadowing users during field visits: even going as far, in one case, as hoovering the carpet in an elderly user's home!   He also plays my 3 card challenge to share his favourite UX tool, favourite technique and a trend he sees in the future.  Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy the episode.  Mike Green This podcast is brought to you by Researchable UX.

What is UX, user experience and what kind of user experiences does it include? Would unboxing also be part of UX? What aspects of UX design can enable seamless experiences across devices? Does personalization enhance user experience? How do Spotify, Thread do it well ? What are the key future trends to watch out for in UX? Damian answers the above questions and many more as he talks about User Experience Design and helping businesses focus on users first and how they can design better interactions using new technology. Damian is an expert in UX research, product design, & psychology. Damian Rees is the UX Director for Europe at Ipsos (a global research company ) responsible for educating and empowering teams to deliver top quality UX research and design work to clients globally. He has 22 years of experience in UX working with BBC, Burberry, and Financial Times. Please connect with him on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/damianrees/ Jagged with Jasravee is facilitated by Jasravee Kaur Chandra, Director- Brand Building, Research & Innovation at Master Sun, Consulting Brand of Adiva L Pvt. Ltd. Jasravee has over 20 years experience as a Strategic Brand Builder,Communications Leader and Entrepreneur. Please connect with Jasravee on Linkedin at https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasravee/ Email Jasravee at jasravee@theadiva.com Damian believes that UX is about making an experience easy, useful, and in some circumstances enjoyable for user. The thing that sets UX apart is the structured user-centred design process at the heart. Where users are the focus right from the start and any assumptions are validated and design ideas are tested iteratively. So when something launches, we already know users want it, need it, and can use it.A good user experience is about making it simple, fast, accessible, easy to understand, credible. He talks about his personal experience where he took his 7 year old to McDonalds and he ordered a happy meal for himself and his brother with no help from me. He just watched and felt it was such a great example of UX. If a 7 year old can walk up to something, interact, and complete a purchase then the experience has been designed well. The core differences between Customer Experience (CX) and UX is that CX is about the overall customer relationship – across multiple touch points. UX tends to be more about focusing on individual touch points at a time and designing the interactions between the customer and the business.

Our world is undergoing digital transformation and the Customer Experience is changing – from offline to online, from real life to virtual, from aided to self-administered, and so on. Understanding the changing UX requirements, moments, pain points and areas of delight, are key. Our Ipsos UX teams have been working on many areas where UX can drive a more positive Customer Experience, for all members of society. Katharine Davis, Head of UX, and Damian Rees, UX Director, both from our Europe team, are here to highlight a few of them, covering: what is UX, where it's come from, and why it's so relevant to the CX agenda right now; how Customer Experience and expectations are changing with the move to a digital world; the areas that need to be considered to ensure that experiences are just as good as, if not better than, ‘before'; the key components of good User Experience; inclusive UX and compassionate design, and the benefits to both users and organisations; plus a few predictions thrown in for good measure. To hear more from Katharine and Damian, head to their on-demand webinar: User Experience (UX): what makes the difference between success or failure?.

User experience is an under-appreciated but crucial aspect of modern technology and software — particularly in the field of video games, which have to introduce complex ideas without intimidating players. In this week’s podcast, Chris is joined by UX Director, Celia Hodent, who put her PhD in psychology, specialized in cognitive development, to good use in helping create Fortnite.  Celia explains how user experience helped make military aircraft safer and how it’s been a fundamental part of gaming since the days of Super Mario Bros. Using examples from casual titles such as Candy Crush to the notoriously tricky Dark Souls, Celia explains how games teach skills and use interaction to build worlds and reward behavior. She also gives excellent reasons why kids shouldn’t play games outside of their age rating, and why culture is more important than gender when it comes to game design. Whether you’re a gamer or not, you’ll undoubtedly come away from this podcast with a new perspective on the design of just about everything.

In this episode, Travis Neilson interviews Jens Riegelsberger, a UX Director at Google, about the company’s evolving design identity. Riegelsberger discusses his role in launching Google’s Product Excellence program—an initiative that sets the bar for quality and usability across all Google products—and what it means to build teams that favor multiple perspectives and diverse skillsets. A few highlights: On being a good leader“Look at your job as chiefly to enable other people's insights and eureka moments. That doesn't mean abdicating responsibility. It takes actually quite a bit of work to do this well.” On embracing healthy friction“Frankly, we can't have a static, preordained culture because we work in a field where so much change is happening all the time. So knowing that we all have to negotiate culture and that it's a fluid thing prepares us well for the changes that are coming.” On the value of “dabbling”“I have a PhD in computer science, but I also taught at art school. So there's this mix of different identities that I’ve had to cobble together. I’ve never deeply believed, ‘Okay, this worldview is the only true worldview; my science or my community knows how it's done,’ because I've always jumped around.” Handy info and links for this episode: Riegelsberger co-authored this whitepaper on a 2013 project aimed at increasing empathy for users. Over the last five years, the project has helped more than 1,500 Google engineers, designers, and product managers immerse themselves in observational research. Product Excellence is a Google initiative, started in 2014, that’s working to identify and solve systemic barriers to excellence—by focusing on the user.

When you're designing products for people, having empathy for those specific people (aka users) is critical. Yep, you know that, but how can you increase empathy for the users from the entire team, and stakeholders too? In this episode, Karen Reilly, UX Director at Iterate in Dublin, Ireland, shares insights and techniques inspired by her work in improv for developing more empathy, not only for users but within our teams as well. Karen is an expert both at creating user-centered products, and at improv, not to mention being an advocate for cows who do yoga. You’ll get great ideas for all of those things after listening in on this fun and insightful episode of UX Cake. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
