UX design maturity as a choice for strategic growth - Keen Design

The days when companies viewed UX design simply as cosmetic change are long gone. Today UX design is a vital strategic choice that helps companies grow. Building the right product is now much more valuable than building the product right.

But how can companies make this change? It’s not enough to simply hire a couple of designers. You need to create and embed a culture of design leadership across your organisation. Which can be a challenge. It means introducing truly customer-driven innovation and iterative ways of working.

That’s what design thinking means: taking your customer’s perspective as the starting point for change. And what that will mean for your internal processes.

Change process

For many companies this represents a significant change process. Of course, digital native businesses like Spotify and Amazon always have design and design thinking top of mind. But for more traditional service providers digital transformation is a multi-faceted process, with upsides and downsides.  Developing UX design maturity will be different for each business, depending on their level of maturity and ambitions.
