HOW IT

WORKS

UX stands for “user experience”. If you’re not familiar with the term you’ve definitely had your own user experiences, some of them great and some of them terrible. With every product or service you encounter, you are the user and how you interact with it is the user experience. It might be a website, a smartphone operating system, a call center, taking a flight or sitting at the wheel of a car. A team of people has worked hard, sometimes using design thinking, to create the best experience possible. They don’t always succeed.

 

At work, if we see ourselves as a product or service that has to deliver something valuable, then the people that interact with us could be described as our users. By taking some of the methods from design thinking we can work on our own user experience so our co-workers, collaborators or clients get exactly what they need from us. By optimizing our strengths, minimizing our weakness and constantly improving ourselves, it is possible to become more valuable as an employee and more attractive in the job marketplace. We all have to sell ourselves no matter if we are looking for a new job, a promotion or sometimes just to keep our job. Why not develop more of a competitive edge?
