The Backstory #

In many companies, designers are perceived as disruptors, rather than enablers. Designers challenge established ways of working. They ask a lot of questions — much needed ones but also uncomfortable ones. They focus “too much” on user needs, pushing revenue projections back, often with long-winded commitment to testing and research and planning and scoping.

Almost every department in almost every company has their own clearly defined objectives, metrics and KPIs. In fact, most departments — from finance to marketing to HR to sales — are remarkably good at visualizing their impact and making it visible throughout the entire organization.

But as designers, we rarely have a set of established Design KPIs that we regularly report to senior management. We don’t have a clear definition of design success. And we rarely measure the impact of our work once it’s launched. So it’s not surprising that moste parts of the business barely know what we actually do all day long.

Business wants results. It also wants to do more of what has worked in the past. But it doesn’t want to be disrupted — it wants to disrupt. It wants to reduce time to market and minimize expenses; increase revenue and existing business, find new markets. This requires fast delivery and good execution.

And that’s what we are often supposed to be — good “executors”. Or to put differently, “pixel pushers”.

Over years, I’ve been searching for a way to change that. This brought me to Design KPIs and UX scorecards, and a workflow to translate business goals into actionable and measurable design initiatives. I had to find a way to explain, visualize and track that incredible impact that designers have on all parts of business — from revenue to loyalty to support to delivery.

The results of that journey are now public in our new video course: “How To Measure UX and Design Impact” — a practical guide for designers, researchers and UX leads to measure and visualize UX impact on business.

About The Course #

The course dives deep into establishing team-specific design KPIs, how to track them effectively, how to set up ownership and integrate metrics in design process. You’ll discover how to translate ambiguous objectives into practical design goals, and how to measure design systems and UX research.

Also, we’ll make sense of OKRs, Top Task Analysis, SUS, UMUX-Lite, UEQ, TPI, KPI trees, feedback scoring, gap analysis, and Kano model — and what UX research methods to choose to get better results. Jump to the table of contents or get your early-bird.
