About this Event
UX strategy (aka Design Strategy or Product Strategy) is the process that should be started first before the design or development of a digital product begins. It’s the vision of a solution that needs to be validated with real potential customers to prove that it’s desired in the marketplace. It relies on empirical, lightweight tactics that quickly move you and your team in the right direction.
Whether you are a product/UX designer, product manager/owner, entrepreneur, or part of an innovation team, this workshop offers an impactful way to quickly get up-to-speed on the practice of UX/product strategy techniques for devising innovative digital products and services.
