Stop Evangelizing UX - And What To Do Instead
No other role at your company spends time and effort evangelizing themselves the way we do. Developers aren’t making PowerPoints to explain why it’s important to hire qualified developers and let them write code. QA isn’t holding meetings to teach everyone the importance of testing software. It’s just us and it’s making us look weird and whiny. It’s rarely working and sometimes backfiring. How do you get CX and UX buy-in or start leveling up your company’s maturity?
This session will examine the pitfalls of evangelism and what actions we can take instead. We’ll look at how some of the popular methodologies we think are bringing everybody onto the CX bandwagon might be training co-workers on how little they need us. We’ll focus on hiring CX specialists, building more Agile and Lean teams, improving collaboration between our cross-functional teammates and us, and avoiding the pitfalls of fake Agile, fake Lean, and design-by-committee.
We’ll learn how to bring customer-centricity, business strategy, Agile, and Lean together. We can prove the value of CX and UX with a “show, don’t tell” approach.
