Twenty-some years ago, we found ourselves in awe of how computers and the internet changed so many aspects of life. Just when we thought technology had reached its peak, we were also blithely aware that more was going to unfold.
Today we can only look back at the impact the digital revolution made on how we communicate, the way we work, and even the way we socialize. Graphic design is no exception to this change. Technology now plays a major role in the creation of digital work available in many fields. Portfolio design, presentations, signage, logos, websites, animations and even architectural production have all traveled far since the dawn of the digital revolution.

Today's marketers are facing a paradox: We have better intelligence and tools for driving growth than ever before. Data-driven digital marketing, programmatic and audience buying are proven to be delivering results. But if return on investment ROI » is going up, why are sales in decline?
There are some simple causes and effects: Media inflation continues to increase across all channels, while reach has declined for most every channel and publisher. Rising costs combined with declining reach drives up Cost-Per-Point CPP » , which means creative needs to be exponentially more effective to deliver the same results (and that's before attenuation of media attention is factored in). In most cases, even the best creative cannot offset the decline in efficiency. It's just math. And as the math suggests, in most cases we'd expect to see a decline in payback. Yet most channel-specific measurements show a positive ROI. Why?

In every meeting Jeff Bezos attends, there’s an empty chair among the C-suite employees and board members to represent the customer.
The idea is to remind decision-makers that customers can’t speak at the meeting, but the company still has to prioritize them.
For PMs at the drawing board, it’s easy to get lost in the numbers of usage behavior and statistics. They don’t look at the empty chair, but they still need to consider what the customer would think.
With so much behavioral data out there, what’s the use in pestering the customer to ask for insight? PMs are afraid to contact their customers through email, NPS surveys, or in-app messaging, too worried they’ll annoy users or get skewed data since only their happiest or unhappiest customers will respond. Asking your users for feedback sounds like a great way to give the customer a seat at the table.

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.

In a previous post I talked about the 'case of the missing users & customers in Scrum'. While there's a lot of focus (also thanks to DevOps) on 'shipping fast', we often forget that 'shipping fast' and 'building what the user needs' are two sides of the same coin. It's wonderful to ship fast. But without actively involving the user, it is nothing more than a technical exercise. How can we build good products if we never talk or see real-life users? In this post I offer 7 powerful ways to make this kind of interaction happen (directly and indirectly).

Choosing the right user feedback software, or any type of software for that matter, is a very delicate process for many businesses. Typically, the team (or role) appointed to choosing the software will start by gathering key criteria that is considered important for the business. Then they must find a suitable vendor that meets that criteria and hope that the implementation process goes as smoothly as possible. On the surface this may seem like a fairly simple task, however, according to an IBM study, only 40% (less than half!) of IT projects meet schedule, budget and quality goals.

As an employer, you need to provide oodles of feedback to employees to ensure they know what they’re doing, what they’re supposed to be doing, what they’re doing well and what they could be doing better. Bad feedback from employees and customers alike provides a way to prevent little annoyances from becoming reasons for good people to leave you.

For a successful website or mobile app, user experience and interaction are critical factors which calls for testing, feedback and refinement during and after the design process. This is where feedback comes in handy. Asking for feedback from users can provide you with an alternative perspective, enabling you to properly meet the requirements as well as expectation of these users. While there are various types of user experience feedback solutions, there is one type in particular that enables businesses to improve page usability, Visual Feedback tools.
