We tend to get clients immersed in personas in three ways - 1. they are based on customer types they can easily recognise 2. the basic identity is mapped out, but we get them to identify further elements themselves (a bit like your pain/gain) - such as hopes and fears, or expectations, needs and moods. 3. we actively use them in further exercises around ideal design, done persona by persona before looking at overall strategy.

We tend to get clients immersed in personas in three ways –

1. they are based on customer types they can easily recognise

2. the basic identity is mapped out, but we get them to identify further elements themselves (a bit like your pain/gain) – such as hopes and fears, or expectations, needs and moods.

3. we actively use them in further exercises around ideal design, done persona by persona before looking at overall strategy.

]]> Comment on lightningUX II by boon http://leemcivor.co.uk/2011/04/07/hello-world/#comment-8 boon Sat, 21 May 2011 21:01:14 +0000 http://leemcivor.co.uk/?p=1#comment-8 From a viewer's perspective, I think the evening was much like the first lightning UX - quick soundbites, tons of insight, practitioner focused, and time to mingle and chat with the audience and speakers. I think since it did feel a bit formal (and the room felt a bit smallish), a lot of people left after the event but maybe it was for personal reasons as well. I can understand too if the crowds disperse with the lack of beerage. You pulled off a great event (twice running now) that's getting a lot of attention and attendance, so I don't think it would hurt to ask for some support where needed.
