Terry Patterson's curator insight, June 17, 3:37 PM

Glad we're understanding more about what makes UX strategy what it is. The more designers understand this and explain it well (as in this article), the better organizations will also value the work that is done in user experience. In the future, the UX strategist will join the organization as a leader of integrated environments in order to serve customers in the best possible way and provide the value and ROI that is needed to stay competitive.

People are using their smart phones 46% of the time for "me time", 19% of the time for Socialising and 12% of the time for shopping. Great news for marketers that the percentage of time spent on shopping on their mobile is on the rise.

A Look at Flat Design and Why It's Significant | UX Magazine

A Look at Flat Design and Why It's Significant | UX Magazine | I Love User Experience | Scoop.it

Flat design has all the key attributes that make a site as functional as it is beautiful. It recognizes that a sense of familiarity is important to the user experience, but it creates this sense in a way that fits with the medium. At the same time, it's able to adapt to new discoveries, trends, and ideas. Flat design brings us a step closer to a new paradigm of digital design, where the functionality and aesthetic are in complete harmony.

Anatomy of an Experience Map: How Experience Maps Can Be Used in Service Design

Anatomy of an Experience Map: How Experience Maps Can Be Used in Service Design | I Love User Experience | Scoop.it

Experience maps aren't limited to multi- or cross-channel experiences. They are about orchestrating multiple touchpoints that occur over time. And there's no right way to do an experience map.

Hannes's curator insight, June 11, 1:55 PM

In a multi decvice eco system, online service customers will experience several touchpoints occuring over time. People are accessing information in different contexts with different technologies, all the way from reviewing user opinions to performing purchases to using the complete solution. How can we be prepared for the complex situation of use that exists today, and how can support holistic design strategies? I think customer journey mapping is a useful method because it can help us to consider moments that matter for users in every touchpoint, instead of thinking about isolated tasks.

Improving UX with Customer Journey Maps

Improving UX with Customer Journey Maps | I Love User Experience | Scoop.it
An introduction to customer journey maps, a technique from service design that can be applied to UX of websites.
Terry Patterson's curator insight, June 16, 5:04 PM

I find journey maps a great exercise, especially when the experience is poorly understood at first and user research has been done to understand it. The problem I see with them (from practice) is that while it is easy to illustrate a general user journey, it is difficult to account for every user mental model and contextual behavior; therefore, it is important to understand that journey maps illustrate generalities. In my opinion, complex user journeys better be backed up by good user research.

User Experience Is Not Design. It's Strategy.

User Experience Is Not Design. It's Strategy. | I Love User Experience | Scoop.it

Product companies are about solving problems, and about asking the right questions in the first place.

Natraj's curator insight, June 7, 6:45 AM

Still, apparently we have UX Strategy as a definite split against Simple usability or interface solution which is tactical way of solving problems - still called to be UI design, since UX - eXperiences are strategical way of implementing solution. Strategy is tied with business engine [going skin deep of business revenue and marketing concepts], which really dives deep into research, its not superficial. UX design on other hand can take both ends of the spectrum - tactical & strategical. Now product companies really look it strategically since all your design essentially is a revenue game-changer! Finding the problem [May also said, Touchpoints] and solving it through design is more of UX Strategy where Business and design embedded pretty heavily.
