Chapter 1
Defining UX Strategy

“So why do we need an
experience strategy?”

{INSERT
YOUR
BRAND

YOUR
BUSINESS
YOUR
CUSTOMERS
How well
does your
organisation
connect?

YOUR PROMISE
(what do you
want to be for
your customers)
THE REALITY
(the user experience)
YOUR CUSTOMERS’
EXPECTATIONS
(and how they
feel about you)

Proliferation of
customer touch-points &
organisational siloes
