THE UTTER CHAOS
THE UTTER CHAOS




 From fairly
 straight-
 forward...
THE UTTER CHAOS




 ...to ridiculously
 complicated.
THE UTTER CHAOS




 It was chaos.
THE SHORTFALLS
THE SHORTFALLS



Requirements kill
-   Too often it drives process
-   Laundry pile (clean... and dirty)
-   Business vision chopped up into
    little pieces
-   Perceived as voice of end user
THE SHORTFALLS



Researching for conclusions
-   Process of elimination
-   Dictated recruiting
-   Needs & desires perceived as
    issues of usability
-   Process-driven, not people-driven
THE SHORTFALLS




✘
Researching for conclusions
-   Process of elimination
-   Dictated recruiting
-   Needs & desires perceived as
    issues of usability
-   Process-driven, not people-driven
THE SHORTFALLS



Structure ≠ foundation
-   Very easy to structure bad content
-   People not visiting a “site”
-   Infinite touch points & devices
-   Mixing & mashing of services
THE SHORTFALLS



Usability testing too scientific
-   Task completion basis for success
-   Can’t control all the variables
-   Business & product-focused
-   Only one factor of experience
THE SHORTFALLS




    “Too often we measure everything and
                    understand nothing.”

                     Jack Welch, Past CEO at GE
THE SHORTFALLS



Humans are messy
-   Not rational or structured
-   Unique behaviours & motivations
-   Extremely difficult to personify
-   Can’t control all the variables
THE SHORTFALLS



Product isn’t the experience
-   Product not the final destination
-   Dependant on culture and context
-   Desires & needs based on
    experience, not product
THE SHORTFALLS



Product isn’t the experience
-   Product not the final destination
-   Dependant on culture and context
-   Desires & needs based on
    experience, not product
THE SHORTFALLS



Product isn’t the experience
-   Product not the final destination
-   Dependant on culture and context
-   Desires & needs based on
    experience, not product
THE SHORTFALLS




   “You can only provide the resources for
    people to have an experience; then it’s
       the people (users) themselves who
                   create the experience.”

                        Dan Saffer, Kicker Studios
