This presentation will consist of part lecture on the basics of Heuristic Evaluation and how it can be utilized for your company. The remainder of this session will engage participants in Heuristic Evaluation to create an output results document. Participants will be provided with a document template that allows them to generate leave-behind materials clients and co-workers.

This “guerilla-style” approach for Heuristic Evaluation will help teams engage work partners from other disciplines within the organization and learn to work with them to rapidly generate useful content for Sales and Account teams.
