It’s a challenge to push a user-centered design process when your company is historically buyer-centered. If the client hasn’t asked for it, or if you can’t put a number on it, how do you sell the value of a product’s user experience? When simply doing the work isn’t enough, you need to educate your audience. And like any organizational change, this takes time, strategy, and patience.

Drawing from the our experience of designing a software product to replace a decades-long tradition of custom-built solutions, we’ll share some “lessons learned” for keeping a project user-focused when there are many competing voices at the table.

Thank you to our sponsor, Digital People, and our host, Summit Brewing!
