Editor's Notes
- Hi there, thanks for coming. I am Karen Clark Cole, founder and president of Blink. A Seattle based user research and design firm.
- Today I am going to talk about how user experience has become a business requirement, and as a result, is actually changing the way we live our lives.But first, are there any developers in the room? Designers? Product managers? Researchers? Perfect, because its my goal to show each of you how you can make a difference and change the worldSo the best place to start is always with a bit of history…
- Over the last 10 years, the focus of UX has completely changed, and we’ve made huge leaps forward in the world of user experience. We’ve gone from fixing knows issues to changing lives
- And if we go back a little farther, we can see some major shifts in how we think about UX.Many of you in this room have lived through the changes. And let me tell you “we’ve come a long way baby”…
- 1990 – If you had a website you were leading the pack. And by 1994 you could actually book a flight onlineAirlines of the Web was the first index of airline sites on the web, and has been online since 1994 by a UBC professor.
- 2000- Addressing known issues & self service instead of calling. Store hours, Forgotten passwords
- The operational cost of login issues $250,000/year to well over $1,000,000 per year.This is today, so you an imagine back in 2000, it could only have been worse. For comparison, for any of these companies to run a usability study and get recommendations for how to fix this problem costs roughly $25K, once.
- 2005 – Discovering unknown issues, optimization tools, making it easier for people to give you money. Recommendation engines, “others bought this…”
- 2008 – Your user-centric product is creating customer loyalty and delight. These products and services are so useful and usable they have created a loyal following of customers.
- Phone = communication / Netflix = rental and end-to-end CS/ Skype = connect the world w/one button, for free. Kinect with sketal sensor has revolutionalized gaming and Medical field for training.Once we have seen these game changers there is no looking back.User expectations, demands and delights will never be the same.
- Now I’m going to show you some examples from my own life, which I’m sure many of you will be able to relate to.Thanksto technology & ease of use, family connections have improvedBringing families closer together
- Awkward at first, not an immediate connection
- So within 2 minutes gramma in Victoria is watching what is still going on in Seattle.
- These great experiences didn’t just happen by chance. They are carefully informed, planned, designed and tested user experiences
- The technology is easy to use and it’s actually improving lives!
- Well everyone knows grandma love it real, but next I’m going to talk about the kind of love that makes people sell their homes and throw out their couches…
- It’s a fact. People are getting rid of their couches.People say they LOVE their Kinect and it has changed their lives
- Great bottom line
- The most amazing thing of all is that their call centers wereQuiet as a mouse
- User research
- In 2010, 8 months before the Kinect hit the shelves for Christmas, The XBOXteam partnered with Blink to conduct“out of box” field research in 6 countries, 14 cities and 200 homes around the world. We got first hand feedback from their target customers on everything from retail packaging, plugging in cables to setting up a game. Back in Redmond, the dedicated Kinect team was working around the clock iterating on new prototypes for us to take to the next city.It worked. No one called.
- But imagine if they had decided to not change even one of the usability barriers, a call center cost could look like this:$20 x 8million people with one question for customer supportUR running $2-300K = ROI
