John Waterworth Experience Strategy

Definition

Experience design is…

A design practice focused on human outcomes particularly the level of engagement and satisfaction that the user derives from a product or service, and the relevance of the experience to their needs and context.

It is:

§  Iterative - identifying and resolving design challenges through cycles of creativity and user research

§ Collaborative - involving specialists from various design and non-design disciplines, as well as project stakeholders and end users, in the design process

§ Measurable - identifying both physical and emotional outcomes for the experience, and measuring success against these targets

Carmine Gallo, The Innovation Secrets of Steve Jobs

“The panel were impressed with the approach that Flow took, their extensive research of the problem and the innovative nature of the solution. They thought that the app would be highly appealing, easily accessible and be a wide-reaching solution. The use of NFC on ‘juice points’ to provide information was a particularly innovative, yet entirely feasible, element of the entry, and greatly impressed the judges.” Stuart Catchpole, Innovation Manager at Hethel Innovation and competition lead.
