It’s the holy grail of proving the value of user experience design. “We made these changes in the design and we saw a 15% increase in renewals of existing policyholders”. But should we, as designers, see this as our goal? Uncover why business outcomes make great results, but not great goals: https://lnkd.in/geys-_E

What products or features should you build next? How will you tell when it’s ready to deliver? Who will be on the team that creates and delivers it? How long will the team have to work on it? Are the people who make these big decisions — the executives and key stakeholders — basing their decisions on user research? For most organizations, the answer is no. Yet, these are the very decisions that most need user research insights. So, how do we infuse these decisions with the research that will produce innovative, game-changing results?
