10 Insightful Quotes On Designing A Better Customer ExperienceYuan Wang
In an ever-changing landscape of one digital disruption after another, companies and organisations are looking for new ways to understand their target markets and engage them better. Increasingly they invest in user experience (UX) and customer experience design (CX) capabilities by working with a specialist UX agency or developing their own UX lab. Some UX practitioners are touting leaner and faster ways of developing customer-centric products and services, via methodologies such as guerilla research, rapid prototyping and Agile UX. Others seek innovation and fulfilment by spending more time in research, being more inclusive, and designing for social goods.
Experience is more than just an interface. It is a relationship, as well as a series of touch points between your brand and your customer. Here are our top 10 highlights and takeaways from the recent UX Australia conference to help you transform your customer experience design.

Pitching Ideas: How to sell your ideas to othersJeroen van Geel
Learn how to convince others of your UX ideas by understanding them.
We are good in designing usable and engaging products and services. We understand the user's needs and have a toolkit with dozens of deliverables. But for some reason it remains difficult to sell an idea or concept to team members, managers or clients. After this session that problem will be solved!
Selling your ideas and convincing others is one of the most undervalued assets in our field. This ranges from convincing a colleague to use a certain design pattern to selling research to your boss and convincing a client to go for your concept. You can come up with the best ideas in the world, but if it is presented in the wrong way these ideas will die a lonely dead. This is sad, because everybody can learn how to bring a message across. The main thing is that you know what to pay attention to.
In this session I will take you on a journey through the world of presenting ideas. We will move through the heads of clients and your colleagues, learn what their thoughts and needs are. We will move to the core of your idea and into the world of psychology.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like depression and anxiety.

Inspired Storytelling: Engaging People & Moving Them To ActionKelsey Ruger
Most projects, presentations or initiatives are driven by facts and features the team believes will help them deliver a product or message. While facts and data are important for setting the stage and communicating goals, they’re rarely what persuades an audience or gets them to take action.
In this workshop, you will learn how to use that connection, by teaching basic skills in visual thinking and storytelling that will that transform projects and initiate action.
If you are like many people, even the thought of delivering a speech in front of an audience will get your palms sweating. The fear of public speaking ranks high among the most common phobias, and for good reason: most of us approach the situation with the wrong mindset, which in turn makes us live out our worst fears in a public forum.
As Michael Parker notes in IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY: How to Sell Your Message When It Matters Most (A TarcherPerigee paperback; on sale January 2016), our fixation on the content of our words – and not the presentation of ourselves – is what brings us down. Once the Vice-Chairman of London’s Saatchi & Saatchi, and one of the world’s most experienced advertising pitch men, having made more than 1,000 pitches in his successful career, Parker has learned first-hand that an effective presentation, a job interview, or even a speech at a wedding hinges on our ability to portray ourselves as passionate, relatable, and collected. But, if we are focused on what we say, and not how we act, we will fail to persuade our audience.
Applied in the boardroom, at the pulpit, or even in conversation, these tenets will help you present better in any situation.
This document outlines 50 essential content marketing hacks presented by Matt Heinz, President of Heinz Marketing Inc. at CMWorld. It provides an agenda for the presentation and covers topics such as content planning, measurement, formats, distribution, influencer engagement, repurposing content, and getting sales teams to leverage content. The goal is to provide new tools, tricks and best practices to help convert readers into customers through effective content marketing.
"Escaping the Build Trap" by Melissa PerriProductized
Many large companies that have been around for decades, or even newer startups that have found some stability, fall into a dangerous place called “The Build Trap”.
In this PRODUCTIZED keynote, Melissa Perri explains how businesses need to restructure their thinking to focus on finding value for the user through experimentation to achieve business goals: getting out of “The Build Trap”
Do you struggle to finish your daily tasks, juggle your work load and keep organised at work? If so, read our top tips to help work a little smarter everyday!
This document discusses better collaboration between agencies and clients. It notes that historically, agencies did not provide clients with a full understanding of the creative process or ideas, and clients did not know how to properly evaluate work. It advocates that agencies start presentations with the agreed upon creative brief to provide necessary context before presenting ideas. Agencies should tell a story that bridges the brief to the final idea, giving clients a complete understanding. The document also provides models for properly evaluating ideas and ensuring collaborative discussions between agencies and clients.
Building an enduring, multi-billion dollar consumer technology company is hard. As an investor, knowing which startups have the potential to be massive and long-lasting is also hard. From both perspectives, identifying companies with this potential is a combination of “art” and “science” — the art is understanding how products work, and the science is knowing how to measure it. At the earliest stages of a company, it comes down to understanding how a product is built to maximize and leverage user engagement.
In this presentation, Sarah Tavel shares her "Hierarchy of Engagement" framework she uses to evaluate non-transactional consumer companies she is looking to invest in.
Pragmatic Product Strategy - Ways of thinking and doing that bring people tog...Jonny Schneider
Presented at XConf Tech Manchester in 2014 - Video at http://thght.works/1xdSvqK
This talk explores new ways of framing the work we do in order to create effective software products. A super-pragmatic model of thinking and doing that promises to bring together technologists, designers and business folks alike, across the entire software delivery lifecycle.
This list is more or less a curation of tips I've surfaced from my reading or research and from what I've observed from being around some incredible investors and successful entrepreneurs. Note, this advice is geared towards ideation through product-market fit level startups, but the life tips are universally applicable I would say.
When possible, I tried to make the tip "actionable", which I define as something that's able to be done;
or an action having practical value.
So, in no particular order, I give you the Startup and Life Tips for Entrepreneurs: a Journal of Thoughts...

Boring to Bold: Presentation Design Ideas for Non-DesignersMichael Gowin
This document provides presentation design ideas for non-designers to make their presentations more engaging. It recommends having a clear plan and purpose, telling a story with three acts, minimizing text, using powerful images, choosing fonts and slide layouts wisely, rehearsing, and delivering with confidence. Presenters should know their audience, brainstorm their key message, and make slides beautiful yet simple while focusing on one idea per slide. Rehearsing and dressing professionally can also boost delivery, and providing handouts reinforces the content. The overall goal is to make audiences feel something rather than just informing them.
Some think working remotely is a terrible setting that takes control away and let's employees stay at home and be useless. Others find that remote work increases overall productivity and lowers the need to micromanage.
And both sides might be correct as remote work, like all other structures, work really well for some and make others crazy.
The only thing that we can say for certain is that telecommuting is increasingly popular and there are problems you need to face to make it work.

20 Fantastic Flat Icons and Their Meaning In Logo DesignDesignMantic
Icons tell stories. And when it comes to building visual identity for a brand, iconography plays a big part. Icons, incorporated into logos, not just make brand identities visually appealing but they also tend to deliver brand’s vision or underline message more effectively. Each icon ensues an inherent meaning that sparks a certain kind of psychological behavior, resulting in emotive consumer association with the brand. Because people tend to identify and appreciate these icons right away even in various colors or screen sizes. Hence, selecting the right icon for your logo is of great importance and must be treated carefully.
Here are 20 flat icons and their hidden meanings that make them effective in logo design.

Leader's Guide to Motivate People at WorkWeekdone.com
To motivate employees, leaders should provide more praise, attention, responsibility, and incentives. Specifically, leaders should recognize employees' good work, keep employees informed about company goals and strategies, assign more challenging tasks with autonomy, establish incentive programs with realistic yet challenging goals, and provide pay raises correlated with employee performance and development. Leaders can use a performance management tool like Weekdone to understand employee status, provide transparent feedback, and align goals across different levels.
The document discusses how teams often fall into the "build trap" where they continuously add features to the backlog without removing items or prioritizing based on customer needs. It argues that agile practices alone are not enough and that product management needs to treat the product strategy as an emergent system focused on customer empathy, experimentation, and desired outcomes rather than detailed plans or wish lists. The key is having an adaptive strategy, a process for learning through experiments, and understanding customer problems rather than assuming what features they want.
The document discusses how teams can fall into a "build trap" by continuously adding features without focus on customer needs or measuring success, leading to uncertainty and wasted work. It advocates adopting product management practices like establishing a clear product strategy and roadmap based on customer problems rather than a wish list of features, conducting user research and experiments to reduce uncertainty, and measuring outcomes rather than just outputs to define success. These practices can help teams get out of the build trap by focusing on delivering value to customers.

This document discusses escaping the "build trap" by creating high alignment through a strong product strategy framework. It emphasizes using the right processes, like prototyping and design sprints, to navigate uncertainty. It also stresses the need for a product-led organization with policies and practices to make strategic decisions using data from customer insights and product performance metrics. Aligning teams through a clear strategy allows them to make decisions while avoiding building things just for the sake of building.
The document discusses how product managers can escape the "build trap" by choosing the right processes, having a clear strategy, and creating a learning-focused culture. It emphasizes using processes like market research and experimentation to reduce uncertainty. A good strategy provides alignment through a vision and objectives. The culture should reward learning from failures and customer interactions. Product managers can apply these principles by selecting processes tailored to problems, setting goals aligned with strategy, and sharing lessons learned.
This document outlines Melissa Perri's presentation on creating effective MVP experiments. The presentation covers:
1. Defining what an MVP is and why they are important for validating assumptions before building fully.
2. Guidance on setting up MVP experiments, including defining the customer and problem, investigating assumptions, designing tests, measuring results, and iterating.
3. Different types of MVPs (e.g. concierge, wizard of oz, landing page) and when each is most appropriate.
4. Adapting MVP experiments based on customer feedback and constraints.
5. How MVP experiments can be incorporated into agile development processes using short sprint cycles.
Designing to Learn: Creating Successful MVP ExperimentsMelissa Perri
The document discusses designing minimum viable product (MVP) experiments to test product hypotheses efficiently. It recommends following a process of defining a goal, identifying a customer problem, stating a hypothesis of what needs to be tested to achieve the goal, building the smallest thing possible to test the hypothesis, and setting metrics to measure success. Various types of MVPs are described, such as interviews, landing pages, concierge services, and Wizard of Oz prototypes. The overall message is that an MVP approach allows products to be improved through continuous learning with minimal effort.
The document discusses product strategy and leadership. It provides various definitions and perspectives on strategy, including that strategy provides a decision-making framework to achieve goals within current capabilities. It also discusses the roles of product leaders in providing vision, goals, and guardrails for teams. Effective strategies emerge from experimentation while remaining stubborn on vision but flexible on details.
Beyond Pretty: Creating Better Products with Measurable DesignMelissa Perri
The document discusses the importance of measurable design and outlines a process for creating designs that can be measured for success. It advocates treating design as a hypothesis and using both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Key aspects of the process include defining clear goals, understanding the target user, identifying problems, taking small measurable steps such as simplifying information hierarchy, and determining how to measure if the goal was achieved through metrics and user research. The overall message is that good design solves problems and should be continually evaluated and improved through a scientific process of hypothesis, testing, and measurement.
The document discusses the concept of a minimum viable product (MVP) and designing products through experimentation and customer feedback. It advocates releasing early versions of products to learn what customers want through iterative design and testing, rather than fully developing products before customer input. The goal of an MVP is to test problem-solution fit and product-market fit with minimum effort by getting feedback from customers.
This document discusses lean product development and user experience (UX) principles. It emphasizes building minimum viable products (MVPs) through short development cycles of validating assumptions with customers, measuring outcomes, and iterating based on learnings. Specific lean practices highlighted include validating problems before building solutions, collaborative cross-functional teams, designing MVPs, continuous deployment, focusing on outcomes over outputs, and avoiding vanity metrics.
Melissa Perri Lean Product Management - Agile on the Beach 2014agileonthebeach2014
The document discusses lean product management. It emphasizes discovering customer problems through interaction and feedback, running experiments to solve problems, and delivering high customer value. A lean product manager works to identify problems rather than gather requirements, runs experiments instead of predefined solutions, and involves the whole team instead of working independently. The goal is to deliver extreme customer value through constant learning and problem solving.
The document discusses the concept of a minimum viable product (MVP) and the process of designing MVPs to learn about customer needs. It emphasizes that the goal of an MVP is to learn, not necessarily to ship a product, and that it is a process of experimentation and addressing key questions to understand problem-solution fit and product-market fit. The document provides several definitions and perspectives on MVPs from thought leaders and advocates designing MVPs that address customers' biggest problems and creating a unified field theory to provide vision and guide experimentation.
This document discusses minimum viable products (MVPs) and how to design MVP experiments. It defines an MVP as the smallest amount of work needed to test an idea. The document recommends building an MVP to validate assumptions before fully developing a product. It outlines the MVP process as defining a customer problem, investigating assumptions, building a small test, measuring customer behavior, evaluating success, and then pivoting or persevering. Examples of different types of MVPs are provided. The overall message is that MVPs should be used to test ideas through quick, low-cost experiments before making large investments in development.
This document discusses lean product management and how it differs from traditional product management. Lean product management focuses on discovering customer problems through interaction and feedback, experimenting to solve problems, and involving the whole team including developers. The lean product manager works on a problem roadmap rather than a product roadmap, and emphasizes building solutions to problems, measuring results, and learning through experiments instead of predefining requirements and features.
This document discusses continuous product improvement using a Product Kata framework. It introduces the Kata concept and shows how it can be applied to product management. Key aspects covered include establishing goals and target conditions, measuring current performance, experimenting through incremental changes, and reviewing progress regularly. Examples are provided around a goal of making sellers more self-sufficient by reducing office calls. The document advocates applying Kata principles systematically as part of daily work, like Toyota's approach to continuous improvement.
The document discusses lessons from three-star restaurants on providing excellent user experiences. It notes that the core product must be great and unique in order to succeed. Restaurants like El Bulli spent time researching and experimenting to develop innovative dishes. Providing exceptional service is also key - the delivery of the food experience shapes how the customer feels. World-class restaurants anticipate customer needs, empower their staff to be creative, and work as a team to consistently deliver high-quality experiences.
The document outlines 5 golden rules of user experience (UX) design: 1) Design for the user, not yourself; 2) Design needs a goal such as to delight, engage or convert users; 3) Keep designs simple; 4) Usability is more important than aesthetics; 5) No design is permanent and designs should be treated as hypotheses to continually improve the user experience. The rules are presented by Melissa Perri at an H3 conference.
This document discusses the importance of continuous product improvement through iterative experimentation and user validation. It emphasizes that teams often get stuck in "building traps" where they focus on building features without validating that they solve user needs. Instead, it promotes a scientific approach of planning small experiments, testing hypotheses with users, and using what is learned to continuously improve products and move toward goals. This helps ensure teams stay focused on user needs rather than arbitrary deadlines and helps products better retain, convert, and engage customers over time.
The document discusses the "build trap" that product teams can fall into, where they focus on building features without properly validating ideas with customers first. It provides examples of cognitive biases that can lead teams to make assumptions without evidence. The presentation provides recommendations for adopting a lean approach, such as talking to customers early, testing ideas quickly before building them out, prioritizing based on customer needs, and measuring success based on key metrics.
This document discusses the differences between traditional and lean product management. Traditional product managers focus on determining new features and requirements, while lean product managers focus on discovering customer problems through feedback. Lean product managers run experiments to solve problems, lead implementation of successful experiments, and manage a problem roadmap. The lean approach prioritizes customer needs over internal requirements, uses data from experiments over assumptions, focuses roadmaps on problems not features, and encourages collaboration on ideas.
The Bad Idea Terminator - QCon London 2015Melissa Perri
The document discusses how to be an effective "Bad Idea Terminator" by avoiding common mistakes made when developing products and features. It outlines four main mistakes: 1) Not recognizing biases when evaluating ideas. 2) Failing to focus on solving an actual problem. 3) Committing to building a solution without properly testing ideas first. 4) Launching without defining metrics to measure success. The key is to recognize biases, validate problems with customers, test ideas quickly before building, and set goals to determine if an idea is worthwhile. This approach helps product teams focus on good ideas and avoid wasting time on bad ones.
Creating Successful MVPs in Agile Teams - Agile 2014Melissa Perri
The document discusses creating minimum viable products (MVPs) in agile teams. It outlines a process for defining experiments to test product hypotheses, including determining the goal, problem, desired learning, minimum build, and success metrics. An example is provided where a music streaming service team wants to increase conversion of free to paid users by making it easier for customers to discover new music.
Lean UX in Startups - Agile Experience Design MeetupMelissa Perri
Lean UX focuses on early customer validation, collaborative design, measuring key performance indicators, applying appropriate tools, and nimble design. It is well-suited for startups as it emphasizes learning through continuous customer input and experimentation to build the minimum viable product needed to learn. The Lean UX process involves the whole team in user research and design studios to collaboratively design solutions to users' problems.
This document discusses integrating the Lean Startup methodology. It contains a Twitter conversation where someone is trying to convince others to adopt a Lean approach but is meeting resistance. They acknowledge that Lean is difficult and scary for some people. They emphasize starting small with experiments to test assumptions, building minimal viable products, getting user feedback, and iterating quickly through a process of learning.
This document summarizes Melissa Perri's presentation on lean product management. It discusses defining the customer's problem through investigating assumptions and measuring customer behavior. It also discusses evaluating the success of minimum viable products through iterative testing and measuring actionable metrics like clicks and purchases rather than vanity metrics. Using the lean process can help products reach success faster and with less wasted resources than traditional waterfall development.
