View another webinar from Zachary Paradis

I recently gave a presentation at an event organized by the the UK Usability Professionals Association. The event, focused on UX & Strategy, featured talks by Tom Wood from Foolproof UX, noted speaker and UX professional Leisa Reichelt as well as myself. Tom and Liesa outlined their thoughts on the definition of experience strategy and how it could (or couldn't) be successful in companies today. I presented a related set of "3 Myths of Customer Experience" which sought to address some of the biggest red herrings in UX today. See the presentation and read more in: Thoughts.
