Description |
Whether you're creating a website, an event, or a new service, you want it to be useful for your audience. In this seminar, you will learn about UX research and modeling techniques that will help surface needs prior to building so you can reduce risk later on. |
If you want to become more successful at bringing innovative IT solutions to your customers on campus, as well as helping customers better understand the value of the solutions you already provide, this seminar is for you! Coming up with a new service is hard. Ensuring that your service meets a customer need is harder still. And successfully driving that improvement through the institution is hardest of all. We all face brutal barriers to making innovation happen in our organization. New ideas fail because they don’t find the right customer to serve or internal customers overlook valuable opportunities because they don’t see what you see or may not even appreciate why IT matters. Storytelling can make people care about what IT does. |
