Selling UX
Presenter
Daniel Szuc, Apogee Usability Asia Ltd
Session Type: Presentation
Imagine we need to sell UX to an organization. Not all organizations have the same level of interest and receptiveness to UX. Some just don’t care.
What should we know about an organization that will help us sell UX more effectively? What sort of questions should we ask about the organization, its people and its culture? What can we learn from organizations where UX has become part of the corporate DNA? What factors can increase our chances of promoting UX successfully to an organization now and in the future?
This presentation will tap into more than 10 years of experience in selling UX into different markets and organizations. We will share the successes, pitfalls and failures.

I’ve realized lately that I am not always selling the User Experience part of what I do effectively. Right now, this topic would be very useful for me and I’m sure, many others.
