UX: A Process

The User Focus

• Internal perception of your customer is usually not as close to reality as your company thinks; likely shaped by internal factors like formal accounting divisions

• Be a pusher: the term “User” is also associated with drug dealers! Internet behavior is addictive, so be on the supply side

Brand Messaging

Stakeholders Strategic Message

Internal: Board, Exec, Sales, etc. “Individual Message”

External: Vendors, Competition, Members “Individual Message”
