Obligatory slide proving you should
listen to me.
• I am a comic book
  character. Drawn by
  Sam Keith, the first
  sandman artist. Geeks
  bow before me.
• Yes, I know Wolfgang
  Puck. But not well
  enough to call him
  Wolfie
• I am an avatar. You can
  be too.
• My child eats broccoli
  willingly. Lots of
  broccoli.

Who are you and what do you want?

"User experience"
encompasses all
aspects of the
end-user's
interaction with
the company, its
services, and its
products.

Don Norman
            The first
            requirement for an
            exemplary user
            experience is to
            meet the exact
            needs of the
            customer, without
            fuss or bother.

Don Norman
Next comes simplicity
and elegance that
produce products that
are a joy to own, a joy
to use.
True user experience
goes far beyond giving
customers what they
say they want, or
providing checklist
features.
14
Understanding User Experience Design & Why It Matters
Don Norman
In order to achieve high-
quality user experience
in a company's offerings
there must be a
seamless merging of the
services of multiple
disciplines, including
engineering, marketing, g
raphical and industrial
design, and interface
design.

              User Experience Design:
               the design of anything
              independent of medium
                  or across [device]
     with human experience as an explicit outcome
      and human engagement as an explicit goal

DESIGNING FOR BUSINESS
Business is from Mars, Design from Venus

   Deductive Reasoning                       Abductive Reasoning
   “Traditional firms utilize and            “Designers value highly a
   reward the use of two kinds               third type of logic: abductive
   of logic. The                             reasoning. Abductive
   first, inductive, entails                 reasoning, as described by
   proving through observation               Darden professor Jeanne
   that something actually                   Liedtka, embraces the logic
   works. The                                of what might be.
   second, deductive, involves
   proving -- through reasoning              This style of thinking is
   from principles -- that                   critical to the creative
   something must be.”                       process.”

Designers can make great leaps forward
But the business folks can be left behind
How many have you thought about a
 client or a boss “That’s a moronic
                idea”

Can you build a bridge to their goal?
Understanding User Experience Design & Why It Matters
Yes, and

Tools for Thinking
• Clarification:
  Do I understand what you are saying?

• Understanding:
  Do I understand your thinking

• Context:
  Do I understand the world we are acting in?

• Evidence:
  What tells me this is right?
For Clarification, try Active Listening

                    •   Repeat
                    •   Paraphrase
                    •   Extend
For Understanding, try Five Whys
Five Whys
My car will not start. (the problem)

  Why? - The battery is dead. (first why)
  Why? - The alternator is not functioning. (second why)
  Why? - The alternator belt has broken. (third why)
  Why? - The alternator belt was well beyond its useful
  service life and has never been replaced. (fourth why)
  Why? - I have not been maintaining my car according to the
  recommended service schedule. (fifth why, a root cause)
  Why? - Replacement parts are not available because of the
  extreme age of my vehicle. (sixth why, optional footnote)

• New Product Introductions sometimes
  work, yet sometimes fail

Marketplaces bring buyers and
sellers together and facilitate
transactions. They can play a role in
business-to-business (B2B), business-
to-consumer (B2C), or consumer-to-
consumer (C2C) markets. Usually a
marketplace charges a fee or
commission for each transaction it
enables.

  Users must find products, evaluate seller, and make a purchase
Advertising Model
The web advertising model is an
update of the one we’re familiar
with from broadcast TV. The web
“broadcaster” provides content
and services (like
email, IM, blogs) mixed with
advertising messages. The
advertising model works best
when the volume of viewer
traffic is large or highly
specialized.
Understanding User Experience Design & Why It Matters
Users must:
• Notice advertising
• Interact with ad

Preconditions: User must
 visit advertising location
Share their demographic
 information

Types:
CPM
CPC
CPA
Community Model
The viability of the community
model is based on user loyalty.
Revenue can be based on the sale
of ancillary products and services or
voluntary contributions; or revenue
may be tied to contextual
advertising and subscriptions for
premium services. The Internet is
inherently suited to community
business models and today this is
one of the more fertile areas of
development, as seen in rise of
social networking.

Editor's Notes

  1. Doodles are the fun, surprising, and sometimes spontaneous changes that are made to the Google logo to celebrate holidays, anniversaries, and the lives of famous artists, pioneers, and scientists.How did the idea for doodles originate? In 1998, before the company was even incorporated, the concept of the doodle was born when Google founders Larry and Sergey played with the corporate logo to indicate their attendance at the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert. They placed a stick figure drawing behind the 2nd "o" in the word, Google, and the revised logo was intended as a comical message to Google users that the founders were "out of office." While the first doodle was relatively simple, the idea of decorating the company logo to celebrate notable events was born.Two years later in 2000, Larry and Sergey asked current webmaster Dennis Hwang, an intern at the time, to produce a doodle for Bastille Day. It was so well received by our users that Dennis was appointed Google's chief doodler and doodles started showing up more and more regularly on the Google homepage. In the beginning, the doodles mostly celebrated familiar holidays; nowadays, they highlight a wide array of events and anniversaries from the Birthday of John James Audubon to the Ice Cream Sundae.Over time, the demand for doodles has risen in the U.S. and internationally. Creating doodles is now the responsibility of a team of talented illlustrators (we call them doodlers) and engineers. For them, creating doodles has become a group effort to enliven the Google homepage and bring smiles to the faces of Google users around the world.How many doodles has Google done over the years? The team has created over 1000 doodles for our homepages around the world.Who chooses what doodles will be created and how do you decide which events will receive doodles? A group of Googlers get together regularly to brainstorm and decide which events will be celebrated with a doodle. The ideas for the doodles come from numerous sources including Googlers and Google users. The doodle selection process aims to celebrate interesting events and anniversaries that reflect Google's personality and love for innovation.Who designs the doodles? There is a team of illustrators (we call them doodlers) and engineers that are behind each and every doodle you see.How can Google users/the public submit ideas for doodles?The doodle team is always excited to hear ideas from users - they can email proposals@google.com with ideas for the next Google doodle. The team receives hundreds of requests every day so we unfortunately can't respond to everyone. But rest assured that we're reading them :)
