Video transcript: Frank Spillers, CXO at Experience Dynamics explains the importance of User Research
User Research, possibly one of the most important types of activities your organization carries that your organization carries out. Why? Because user research is where we gain the technique that brings us the insight that challenges assumptions. And anything that challenges our internal assumptions with our design, with our organization, with the product or service itself-- anything that challenges assumptions-- is an opportunity to be enlightened, and to be inspired and to gain confidence in your decision making.

Summary: Getting to the bottom of your desirability criteria is more important than understanding usability. Since usability metrics are based on successful task completion, they come second after first clearly representing user tasks, needs, and goals. Desirability criteria should be defined first, then usability considered and tested next. Understanding desirability and what users truly want and need can differentiate a design, product, or value proposition fundamentally, with impacts on business results like conversion, engagement, and user adoption.
Summary: When doing Customer Journey Mapping, you have five options for representing the journey. The choice depends on your intention going into the mapping process; your business goals for the journey effort and how much impact you need to generate with your Journey Map deliverable.
Journey Mapping is a UX process for visually documenting how your customer or user moves across an experience over time. It involves understanding defects in the customer experience and highlights opportunities for healing those breakpoints in channel and touchpoint interaction.
