UX Maturity Model

Let's imagine we're in a job interview, applying for the position of UX Leader, and we want to learn more about the company where we might work. What's the best question to quickly assess the level of maturity of our potential future employer? Or let's imagine we are a customer experience or digital transformation consultant and we want to quickly find out what practices our client has adopted and what they still need to build in their organization to provide memorable experiences for end-users. This book proposes a model to understand the stages in which a team or organization can find itself in relation to UX practice, ranging from "We don't know what UX is" to "UX is part of our culture." It describes diagnostic techniques, develops methods to understand at what stage each company is, from quick surveys to multi-week consulting initiatives. It addresses how UX practice is first incorporated into an organization, how UX professionals mature the practice, and how to move from early stages with an incipient and theoretical practice to more mature and robust stages. It outlines the most powerful tools that will help them move from one stage to another. This book tackles all these questions and many others through a pragmatic approach, with exercises and techniques proven by the authors' experience applying this model in very diverse contexts for organizations, teams, and UX professionals in Latin America. "UX MATURITY MODEL: How to Mature User Experience (UX) practice in a Team or Organization" is a permanent reference piece in the toolbox for digital transformation and customer-centric companies.
