Research is a function of strategy. "According to CB Insights, over 90% of all products fail, most commonly due to no market need." Leave yourself time to ask big questions about whether any actually needs your product or service before you decide to launch it. #UXstrategy #UXresearch #Marketresearch

Portfolio tip for design leaders: Unless your values/leadership style/‘how I lead’ slides are unique or clearly showing why they make you a good fit for this specific role, skip all that in your portfolio presentation. It’s a waste of time and if it sounds like what all the other candidates are also doing(which is true 90% of the time), it will make you blend in. Not good: Generic words like empathy, team building, servant leadership etc Good: Super specific values that apply to this role Better: Super specific values that are actually then evidenced in the work you will shortly present

Love this thoughtful and balanced argument for resetting expectations for what design (lowercase d intentional) and design leaders can and can't fix from Sarah Gallivan Mitchell. Andy Polaine, in his response (https://lnkd.in/eC959VEc) to the some of the same rhetoric Sarah responds to, has likened the growth of the design industry in the past 15-20 years to the Cambrian Explosion. It bears considering that the real Cambrian Explosion was followed in relatively short order by multiple mass extinction events. Some species that were less well adapted to the changing conditions for life on Earth didn't make it, but this allowed new forms of life to develop and flourish. My hope is that some evolutionary selection may take place over time in regards to which voices are anointed to speak for All of Design, so that voices like Sarah's may, too, be heard and flourish. #design #designleadership #futureofdesign https://lnkd.in/eQ-PGgBM

Just attended a UXR session where we discussed the state of UX Research. While it's been around for a few years, it's still in its infancy. Early adopters of the practice are already seeing a significant competitive advantage. In fact, in the next 10 years, it's likely that every company will have a UX Research team. Don't be left behind - invest in UX Research now to stay ahead of the game! #UXResearch #UserExperience #CompetitiveAdvantage

Great reminder on looking out for more valuable folks when it comes to UX. There are so many great UX folks that are not just talking but also walking the walk and created more meaningful methods and frameworks. Which UX pros are you following or get inspiration from? https://lnkd.in/ggwcSgrJ

Craft is work done with intuitive expertise - learned deeply by conscious practice through mentorship. Craft is expensive. The mimicry and pattern replication of AI will upend digital craft much like the Industrial Revolution did for physical craftspeople (only faster). It will likely be CFOs who crush craft like origami as they optimize balance sheets. If you love your craft, find a complex niche whose business model is based on value creation not eyeball acquisition. Government especially needs you.

My top 3 project selection tips for design leaders doing portfolio presentations: 1. Pick projects that have a good mix of what you did directly plus what the team did. Very rarely is anyone looking for a pure people manager while hiring a design leader. Your personal contributions need to stand out in your work. It doesn’t have to be IC work (but if you do that, show it). It could be a doc you wrote, an insight you uncovered, a strategy you formulated etc. Differentiate between what you did yourself, what you directed the team to do, and things the team might have driven independently. Make this distinction clear as you present your portfolio. People want to see you can do smart stuff yourself, can direct a team well, but will also build a high functioning team that does good work. Also, if you would like I can do a separate post in these 3 modes of operation for any design leader. 2. Pick projects based on the role you’re applying for. It doesn’t have to be and most certainly won’t be a 100% match. But for example, if what the team needs is scaling a successful product, pick examples where you enabled scale. This needs to be deeper than “I’m applying for fintech so here’s another fintech project”. Your project selection should show you understand the challenges for the company and have transferrable skills. 3. Pick projects where you can show both macro and micro user insights. Scale the macro according to your seniority and level. For example, if you’re applying for a Director role, you better have projects that show you driving user insights at Director scale (for instance something that drove resourcing decisions). At the same time, the project should also show micro insights appropriate to role. For example, key interaction design flows redone by your team for the goal. Or even things like font/color selection and how that drove impact. Use these guidelines and apply the filter for what fits with your past experience and this new role. If you have the same portfolio presentation for completely different roles, something is off somewhere. You only need to present 2-3 projects in a presentation, pick the most appropriate ones. If this sounds complicated and like a lot of work, it is. Project selection is THE foundation for how your presentation will play out.

A great episode of UX Potpourri by Darren Hood, MSUXD I recommend all hiring managers in UX or those that are responsible for interviewing for UX listen to this episode. https://lnkd.in/geGFP52v I'll only say my opinion on hiring practices in the industry from my experience. It can be incredibly burdensome to take on a role as a junior without the adequate support, especially when you know the company really needs someone more senior. I've seen entry level and junior UXers leave the field completely because of the poor experience. I agree with companies doing better in their hiring practices. I believe companies should hire juniors, bootcamp grads, and other entry level UXers, but they need the resources to help them. Also, hire a true senior before hiring any juniors who is capable of mentoring and leading. If that's not possible, have training available to them through different organizations or stipends. And finally, hire an experienced UX professional to do the recruiting. I had a GREAT experience at a company some years ago when I was a web designer. That was possible because they had senior and manager level web designers and developers fully involved in the vetting process from beginning to end. Anyway, just my two cents.

Really annoyed at Figma's price gouging here. There is no reason other than greed: https://lnkd.in/gfdrEiWH Oh, and I emailed them about it and this line from their reply was particularly poignant: "Additionally the minimum for enterprise is a $5k invoice minimum. 6 enterprise seats or made up with other products." To put that in context... our monthly Adobe bill (for 8 CC, 7 PS, 6 Acrobat licenses) is ~NZ$2k... Amazing how quickly enshittification sets in... #Figma #Design #SoftwareLicensing

Lindsay Reynolds shines a light on the pervasive influence of cognitive biases in UX design. "Making snap decisions or trusting your gut may sometimes seem right, but it can lead to errors in user experience design," she notes. By recognizing and counteracting these biases, designers can create more objective and user-centric digital environments. 🎯 Common Biases in UX: Cognitive biases like confirmation bias, recency bias, and the framing effect can distort the design process, leading to less effective user interfaces. 🛠️ Strategies for Objective Design: Implementing structured and diverse user testing, gathering broad feedback, and embracing iterative design processes can help designers avoid the pitfalls of cognitive bias. 🔄 Positive Use of Cognitive Biases: Interestingly, when understood and applied deliberately, cognitive biases can be used to improve user engagement and satisfaction. For example, leveraging the framing effect can help present choices in a way that resonates more effectively with users. Explore Lindsay's comprehensive analysis on using cognitive biases to your advantage in UX design, ensuring that products not only appeal to users but also foster an intuitive and engaging user experience. #UserExperience #UXDesign #CognitivePsychology #DigitalInnovation

"The strategic design gold rush is over." While this might sound like a scary sentiment at first, I'm choosing to see it as an opportunity for design leadership. It's a chance for reinvention of what role design led teams can play in corporate settings. Users are increasing their demand for simple and straightforward user experiences. Every company continues to need more user and customer advocacy and design leaders are perfectly positioned to be the fabric of that advocacy and stitch together the functions required to deliver it to market. Rather than being relegated to a subordinate capability in product-led companies, design leaders can now redefine their purpose, leveraging their skills in user empathy, strategic experiential planning and continue to tie together the often disparate agendas at play in organizations. #Design #Leadership #Reinvention #Innovation

Design Research: One from the archives I came across this post from April 2012 that feels timely to share again, especially as I see questions being raised about the relevance and value of design research. https://lnkd.in/gr-zYAhF "The patterns that we look for in our data - the connections we seek and forge between observations - are intended to deliver on that understanding. We look for what people do - the activities that fill their daily lives; the habits, rituals, jobs, and leisure. These are the more obvious of what we observe. But we also seek to understand why people do what they do. What are the drivers, influences and shapers of these activities? We look for their hopes and dreams, their cares and fears."
