Hi: UX trends and future expectations: (lots of guess work here)
* Less outsourcing of strategic projects (keeping core business in house) * More effort upfront to define focus, create designs/prototypes to test a business case and iterate without blowing big budgets first and wasting effort * Changes in the ways teams are structured both on paper and physically (breaking down functional silos) and getting different disciplines to sit next to each other and talk * Mobile design having positive impacts on simplifying desktop applications and enterprise * More emphasis on customer support/call center UX (reducing the "cost center" thinking) * Focus - reducing, simplifying, rethinking technology investments (being smarter in those investments as technology integrates further and further into business) * Business copying consumer UX on their internal systems e.g. "I want it to be like Google" "I want it to look and feel like Facebook" (and the pluses/minuses it brings) * Increased demand for Designers who can help Management articulate strategy and communicate that vision across the business. * Better understanding of the social strategy both in and outside of business and how that can help you better work together to creating better stuff :) Add you own ... rgds, Dan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
