Editor's Notes

  • #5: User Experience is based on a memory of an event. We cannot control the context in which our designs are used, and therefore we cannot truly design an experience. We can, however, design for engagement. Engagement can be measured both quantitatively and qualitatively, which can often open doors with other stakeholders such as the value people and the feasibility people.
  • #6: User Experience is based on a memory of an event. We cannot control the context in which our designs are used, and therefore we cannot truly design an experience. We can, however, design for engagement. Engagement can be measured both quantitatively and qualitatively, which can often open doors with other stakeholders such as the value people and the feasibility people.
  • #7: User Experience is based on a memory of an event. We cannot control the context in which our designs are used, and therefore we cannot truly design an experience. We can, however, design for engagement. Engagement can be measured both quantitatively and qualitatively, which can often open doors with other stakeholders such as the value people and the feasibility people.
  • #9: Humans are inherently good. They want to do the right thing. Virtually any situation where you are problem solving with design, you are going to run into value judgments. Value judgments can make us feel uncomfortable
