Designing for Disruptive Innovation

Sometimes we get so focused on winning small victories of the present – like sign-off on UX or design support – that we’re blindsided by larger issues from the overall business context. This case study tells the story of a team who experienced this first-hand and learned some lasting lessons as a result.

Like any good tale, the story features heroes, villains, and dramatic twists. Hear how product management and user experience joined forces to tackle a serious business problem. Learn how their field research with potential customers busted some big assumptions and uncovered an incredible opportunity. Then find out what happened when they presented that opportunity to an executive team wrestling with disruptive innovation.

This case study will illustrate:

  • The value of involving skeptics instead of avoiding them.
  • The basics of conducting field research and analyzing findings.
  • What designers need to know about disruptive innovation.
  • How destroying assumptions may be UX’s most important contribution.
  • Why not to trust a focus group, ever.
