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.

This is the first SlideShare adaption of Timothy E. Johansson's 100 Growth Hacks in 100 Days. The growth hacks that's included in the slide are 1 to 10. Timothy is the front-end developer at UserApp (www.userapp.io).
People love the notion of the sole innovator, but this notion is wrong. Successful companies are usually started, and become successful, with the contributions of at least two people. Yin and yang, maker and seller, dreamer and pragmatist — call it what you will. After the fact, people may recognize one founder as the innovator, but it takes a team to make a new venture work.
Derek Sivers, the co-founder of CD Baby, said it best: “The first follower is what transforms the lone nut into a leader.”
In some instances the first follower is the first customer, but most often the first follower is the second employee of a company — that is, the co-founder.
There are few factors that can make a company more successful, fun, and epic than an awesome co-founder. There are few factors that can make a company more unsuccessful, aggravating, and pathetic than an incompetent, lazy, or dishonest co-founder.
This SlideShare explains the art of the picking a co-founder and is part of the LinkedIn Influencer series for #mystartupstory.

Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.

The Mindset You Need for Ultimate Success in Network Marketing and Running a Home-Based Business - This presentation will help you find your way in creating wealth and happiness in your life.
When I put a call out for article topics I received a lot of requests for beginner’s marketing information. Really, sharing thoughts on marketing your business is good for all of us. It’s something we can always use a refresher on.
Business owners generally go into business because they are passionate about what they do, not because they are passionate about running a business. Yet in today’s economic climate, it is even more important to understand how to effectively manage the business in order to survive.

Its cost effective masterclasses give you the chance to understand how a business works and how to grow your business by working smarter, not harder. It’s like getting the practical bits from an MBA at a fraction of the cost.
If you are serious about scaling your business – or even just ensuring that you iron out some of the peaks and troughs – you need to have and execute a solid lead generation process.
In this Slideshare I am going to show you how to capture the key behaviours we need to adopt each month – the key things we need to do – in order to consistently generate the leads we want. It’s all very well having goals and targets – but they are not going to happen on their own!

2. We’ve all been there – start off with the greatest of intentions and then
get lost somewhere along the way
3. In fact, in the businesses lifecycle most businesses get stuck as infants
or ‘trouble-some teenagers’ – never quite making it to adulthood and
maturity
Conception, birth, infant, teenager, adult
4. You’re keeping your head above water, but sometimes it can be
overwhelming and you might even be wondering if it is all worthwhile
5. So how do you get to adulthood and in total control?
6. You probably already know that magic bullets or
those 7 fantastic tips isn’t a game changer.
16. How can you do the right things if you don’t know what you
stand for?
Ask yourself: what do I and my business stand for?
Examples:
Superior customer experience, trusted partner/ advisor, value
solutions, Creativity, Approachability, Reliability/
dependability, Financial sustainability, Teamwork
17. Now go and sell theses core values to your team.
18. The team might snicker, cry, sulk or crown you emperor.
That’s all OK.
19. Work with the team until everyone agrees on the core values
and what they mean to the business
21. For example: If Superior customer experience is a core value,
how can you measure it, how can you make sure that every
interaction with the customer gives them a great experience –
website, reception, quoting, delivery?
22. Now everyone agrees what makes your business ‘tick’ but
they still need to understand the ‘why’.
23. Think that’s any easy one? It’s not but it is one of the most
important steps you will take. It’s starts with ‘what you do’ and
you keep asking ‘Why?’
24. For example: A telephone call minding service ended up at:
“Creating the right first impression for our customers”
25. 3M came up with “Solving unsolved problems, innovatively”
26. A good core purpose allows you think expansively about the
things you could do and the things you would not do
27. And Steve Jobs put it this way “People think focus means
saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not
what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other
good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm
actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I
have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.”
28. So regaining focus and attention starts with understanding
and communicating your core values and your core purpose –
but it does not end there…..!
29. One thing though that all of us need is a sounding board –
someone we can bounce ideas off that can give an ‘external’
perspective
32. •Need a sounding board for your ideas?
•Need to know what to prioritise?
•Want someone to challenge your assumptions?
33. BizSmart aims to help business owners of small and medium sized
businesses to create value and scale their businesses through
