The Mysterious UX Black Box: Convincing Your Org to Embrace User Experience

While digital products are on the up-and-up toward better usability, many development-centric firms are lagging behind. But you want to change that, and to illuminate the value of UX. The question is, how do you convince them to evolve when they have zero interest in it?

Opening the UX Black Box

Even inside the most inflexible, ossified companies, you can make?some?progress. It just doesn’t come from strong arming or pleading. It comes from proving and doing.

• Think of UX as an Essential Part of Development: UX is a core development requirement, and when you view it that way, it’s difficult for others treat it as anything else. It’s not a buzzword—it’s quality products.
• Increase Your Knowledge: You don’t have to learn everything all at once or sign-up for expensive workshops. All you need is a simple reading list to learn everything you need to get started.
• Try Something New and Test It: Pick a simple, easily measurable product or feature. With your newfound knowledge, make a change that you think is beneficial. Then, test it with users. Once you start testing, you can start documenting and involving others. Nothing convinces people like real evidence.

Demystifying UX

Your organization is going to resist change, but don’t let that stop you. There will be others who are interested in UX and want to improve your digital products, too. Band together, learn what you can, put it into practice, and soon enough you’ll have your leaders’ attention.
