自我轉型是創新旅程的開始 Self transformation is the start of innovation journey

Raven Chai 蔡文强 Founding Principal Consultant 創始人及首席諮詢師 UX Consulting, Singapore


What we do Consultancy | Training | Coaching

Experiences accumulated from 170+ projects over 10 years


My work gives me the privilege and opportunities to observe failures & successes of customer-centric and

innovation projects at close proximity.


Two Stories


Elevate the level of customer experience

Lack of digital roadmap and metrics to measure project success & failures


Re-alignment of digital and retail Experience

Next Generation Digital Retail Store Revamp Corporate WebsiteNext Generation Online Store

Ongoing Customer Research Activities Web Analytics + A/B Testing

Strategy, Planning & Restructuring Design & Technology Implementation

Integrate design capabilities within tech & business teams Develop digital UX strategy to realign product vision


Key challengesSuccesses and failures are evaluated at project-level,

but not from an overall organisation’s competencies perspective.


What worksSome degree of continuity in the strategic goals being set,

as there is a tendency for the same group of people in the driving seat.


What it fails to deliverCreate a pool of advocates and champions towards the

culture of customer-centricity, resulting the difficulty to scale project successes in the speed it deserves.


Redesign and simplify online securities platform across multi-devices


Complex business rules & processesUnknown feature sets that are both wide and deep


Set a product visionConsistent User Experience across platforms


what, when, why, who and howConduct 1-on-1 depth interviews to validate the customer

personas, prior proceeding to design phase.


Iterate, iterate, iterate

Test

PrioritiseIterate

Focus on areas that need validation

Pick your battlesKeep up with the pace

It feels like running a marathon for 16 months


Establish clear objectives and way of working

Debrief after each session is completed. Facts are derived from observations, Use evidence to make design decisions. Final decisions are made by product owners (designers), not senior management


Be ready to be adaptiveUnderstand the context on how people use different devices to perform their tasks

• Perform a large subset of user tasks as per web platform

• Consume info and read news in an enjoyable way

• Makes sharing easy

• Timely alerts

• Perform simple transactions

• Updates on the move

• Perform complex, time-sensitive transactions in single or batch orders

• Customisation and personalisation tasks

• Analysing multiple sources of information

• Management of portfolio


Build partnership with stakeholdersConsensus building & problem solving as a team from different BUs CX workshops & lab observations are mandatory for all stakeholders

Key challengesWhile customer experience is being valued across the organisation,

the mindset of business agility has not reach the same level of adoption to match their aspirations.


What worksThe first design hardly ever wins.

Relentless iteration is the pathway to powerful design.


What it fails to deliverImbalance power distribution and approaches towards projects

between customer experience activities and technical implementation processes.


Starting point of transformation journey differs from each organisations.


At the heart of effective organisation transformation is storytelling with evidence.

This is an opportunity of the century for designers today to take the center stage in any businesses.


Too often many projects bring the technical skills, processes and methodologies, but doesn’t bring the

storytelling and narrative.

It is the mastery of storytelling that empowers you to shape perceptions and construct meaningful

conversations.


Learn to adapt and adopt practices for the right context. Business goals, user needs and technical

know-how differs from each organisations.


are we doing it right? organisation-wide

are we able to do it repeatedly? team-level

do we know how to do it? individual-level

Business innovation is always costly, building trusted innovation is probably the best way to manage risks.

5 waves of trust Self-trust

Organisation transformation tends to start with only a few individuals who doesn’t know the answers, but

posses strong resilience in their characters to navigate uncharted waters.


Attempting to change everyone’s perspectives is a futile effort, shifting our own mindset is the catalyst of

meaningful conversations.


If we can’t transform ourselves, how can we expect to transform society, communities

and products & services we aim to create.
