Summary

UX professionals have seen the demand for research rise in the last year, but demonstrating the business value of UX remains a challenge because organizations aren't using the right success metrics. In this session, we'll reveal how the mindset around measuring UX has evolved, how innovative UX teams solve the challenge, and what you can do to evolve your own measurement strategy.

Key Insights

  • •

    The top challenge for UX teams in 2022 is identifying the right success metrics aligned to business KPIs.

  • •

    UX budgets have remained largely unchanged despite a 70% increase in demand over the past year.

  • •

    Design hiring is outpacing UX research hiring, creating risks in measured UX impact.

  • •

    Remote UX research techniques have become permanent post-2020, forcing new methodologies.

  • •

    High-performing organizations continually test with larger samples, iterate, and measure performance comprehensively.

  • •

    UserZoom’s QX score combines behavioral (task success) and attitudinal (ease of use, loyalty) data into a single UX metric.

  • •

    Tying UX metrics directly to business KPIs like revenue growth and operational cost reduction is essential to prove ROI.

  • •

    A global bank case study showed UX improvements led to a 22% increase in online applications and a 35% reduction in call center calls.

  • •

    Benchmarking digital experiences is rapidly increasing across industries, notably healthcare, nearly doubling since 2019.

  • •

    Translating UX findings into measurable business outcomes is a team sport requiring consensus and cross-organizational collaboration.
