Summary

Traditionally, UX Designers struggle to show the impact of the work that they do. This negatively impacts the influence that they have on product delivery, often relegating them to being ’doers’ and not being involved in strategic initiatives. The end result - product delivery is inefficient with rework taking up a large slice of time that could be used to drive innovation to generate more value. In this session, we’ll outline how a simple UX Measurement framework can help change the tide of the conversation, giving the UXer a lift up into more strategic conversations, getting involved earlier in product delivery.

Key Insights

  • UX teams often operate mainly at a tactical project level, limiting their strategic business impact.

  • Quantitative data is the 'executive language' and crucial for communicating UX value to leadership.

  • Combining qualitative UX research with quantitative metrics creates a powerful, holistic view of user experience.

  • AI can accelerate some UX tasks like persona generation and data visualization but lacks empathy and validation.

  • Many organizations suffer from costly rework due to late user feedback in agile cycles.

  • UX struggles to secure executive buy-in because its impact is frequently measured with qualitative or low-level metrics.

  • The Quality Experience (QX) score is a useful composite metric that helps correlate UX improvements with business outcomes.

  • A clear case study from Citi showed UX improvements drove a 22% increase in credit card applications and a 30% reduction in call center calls.

  • Tight partnerships between product management and design ops leaders advance design maturity and business alignment.

  • Being customer-centric is a stated priority for many companies, but only 36% support it with executive action.
