"User Experience: Well Worth the Investment"
By Mr. Steve Gilmore, Western Region Creative Director, Plural,
Inc. Open to the Public. No fee. 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. Pub Talk: 6:00-6:30p.m. Every user has an experience when they interact with an organization's online offering and these user experiences are directly related to the organization's success and profitability. To build long-term, profitable relationships, it is critical to ensure that the user experience is positive and that the user derives the most value
from the interaction. Though measured differently, the goal of profitable
relationships applies equally well to lifetime value of customers
and partners as it does to employee productivity. Businesses that
assess, architect, and measure the real experiences of users will
create better value for those users and demonstrate clear dominance
over their competitors - leading directly to increased profits.
