Enterprises increasingly recognise they need to put users at the heart of their product and service design. A study by Alfresco and Forbes in 2017 found that nearly nine out of ten (87 per cent) leading digital enterprises plan to increase their user experience investment by at least 10 per cent in the next three years. Are you planning your product development around your users?

Skeptics of user experience research often point to the following quote attributed to Henry Ford: “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” The logic goes that if Ford had conducted user experience (UX) research and listened to his customers, he would have tried to optimize the horse and would never have invented the car. Real innovation cannot happen by simply iterating in response to customer feedback, but instead requires product visionaries that lead solely based on their intuition. What, then, is the value of UX research?

With more than 71 percent of businesses now advertising on social platforms, it’s safe to say that social media isn’t going to disappear anytime soon. However, in an office environment, are these methods of communication and interaction beneficial or not?

“Last year was pretty hard, I’m not gonna lie,” says Peter Deng, Uber’s head of rider experience. But as part of new CEO Dara Khosrowshahi’s push to rebrand Uber around safety, Deng says, “we’ve seen the company shift to more listening.”
That focus on hearing users’ concerns prompted today’s change. Have a bad Uber ride when you’re busy and you might neglect to rate the driver or accidentally rush through giving them 5 stars. Forcing users to wait until a ride ends to provide feedback deprives them of a sense of control, while decreasing the number of accurate data points Uber has to optimize its service.

It’s no secret healthcare has improved with technology. I can schedule an appointment with my doctor, view my medical record, and fill a prescription all from an app on my phone. Robotics has changed the way surgery is completed. Human organs are being printed using 3D printers. However, with all these amazing steps towards healthcare of the future, we are missing one important factor: digital user experience.

There are millions of random apps out there are in App Store and Google Pay. There are also millions of products at shopping malls. The point is that a lot of supply doesn’t necessarily mean a good thing. Many companies create products just for the sake of creating them and will try to commercialize. Most of those products fail and that happens pretty often. The reason behind it is because those products are not designed to fit the actual needs of the potential customers.

So you’ve started your company, you’ve been building like crazy, and you’ve just launched your first prototype. What’s the next step (after congratulating yourself, of course)? Well, sit back, watch, and—get ready to learn.
As you see your first few users try out your product, you should be asking yourself (and them!) all kinds of questions: Were the assumptions on which you built the product correct? Do users find it captivating and valuable? What’s missing? What’s confusing? Often times, you’ll find that there are features that you thought were important to users that aren’t—and vice versa.
So, once you launch your alpha, your beta, or really any major product or feature, use these methods for collecting great feedback.

As shown in a research carried out by Capital One, only 9 percent of travelers will book a trip based on brand loyalty. Tough crowd, right? Absolutely, and the truth is, we’re all susceptible to it. In this industry, people are more inclined to just go with the cheapest option. This is why travel organisations have to be more tactical in attracting and engendering loyalty from their customers.
More forward-thinking travel organisations are taking it one step further and setting themselves apart from the myriad of competitors out there and they’re doing this by way of personalised customer experiences – better known to travel marketers as ‘personalisation’.
Here’s a closer look at personalisation in the travel industry and the power of intertwining this customer data with user feedback.
