Seeing the Big Picture: The Development of an Experience Scorecard
When working at improving the user experience it is easy to get stuck focusing on design details or usability performance on a few key tasks. While this is no doubt critical, it makes it more difficult to see the big picture of the overall experience. We will be introducing a new approach to measure the overall experience. Collecting usability, emotional experience, design, and brand experience data together provides an opportunity to get a clearer picture of the
overall experience.
We will be introducing a new scorecard taking into account four critical aspects of an experience: usability, emotional experience, design, and brand.
Furthermore, the experience score will be tailored to what matters most to each individual. The result is an experienced scorecard that is both comprehensive and personalized, with data collected in a lean, budget-friendly way. We will demonstrate how this experience scorecard can be used to answer important questions that many organizations struggle to have clarity on:
1) What is the overall experience like for our customers?
2) What matters most about the experience to our customers?
3) What aspects do we need to improve?
4) How do we compare to our competition?
Key Takeaways
1
Audience members will gain an appreciation for the value of an overall
experience scorecard within their organization. An experience scorecard is a
powerful visualization in the form of a dashboard that executives can use to
monitor and track the user experience of their products and services relative to
their competitors.
2
Audience members will learn about different dimensions of the user
experience, including usability, emotional engagement, brand, design, and
content. They will see the value of each of these aspects, and how they
contribute to the overall experience.
3
Audience members will learn about the process for developing an experience
scorecard within their organization, including setting up a technical platform that
is easy to use and budget friendly. They will also learn about the importance of
measuring the user experience based on what tasks are most relevant and what
aspects of the experience people care the most about.
