She joins host Louis Granger to discuss the evolving role of design and AI in shaping meaningful customer journeys. With a career rooted in UX leadership, Sharbani brings a strategic, customer-first approach to AI, moving beyond the common “tech-first” mentality that often misses the mark on delivering real business value. Sharbani shares how dotinfinity was founded on the idea that design and research should be central to solving complex customer challenges, not just surface-level enhancements. She highlights the Responsible AI Canvas her team developed, which guides organizations in responsibly adopting AI with a human-centered lens. The conversation covers actionable insights into aligning AI with core business goals, the importance of employee engagement, and why effective AI implementation requires a focus on problem-solving, not just technology. Key themes and ideas: 1. Moving from transactional design to strategic influence Sharbani explains how design and research are often undervalued, perceived as transactional rather than strategic. She advocates for the integration of design as a driver of business outcomes and deeper customer connections. Quote: "It’s not just about making things look good – it’s about creating meaningful experiences that shape customer journeys and drive business results." 2. Responsible AI adoption: human-centric, problem-first AI implementation is more than adopting the latest tech trends; it requires a problem-first approach to identify where AI can genuinely solve challenges and deliver ROI. Sharbani introduces her team's Responsible AI Canvas, a three-step framework that helps organizations assess AI readiness, align technology with KPIs, and execute responsibly. Tip: Align AI initiatives with real organizational goals and assess readiness across people, infrastructure, and governance. 3. Building an AI-empowered workforce AI implementation requires both the right tech and the right people. Sharbani stresses training and workforce alignment, so employees not only support AI initiatives but grow with them. The episode highlights Australian government guidelines that Infinity follows: Responsible AI Training, Data & Governance Training, and Diversity & Fairness Training, each critical to minimizing biases and fostering ethical AI. 4. Effective metrics beyond NPS Sharbani shares her skepticism of Net Promoter Score (NPS) as a metric, noting it often fails to capture real customer satisfaction or journey pain points. Instead, she advocates for metrics that reflect customer engagement, trust, and brand loyalty. Quote: “NPS tells us how likely customers are to recommend a product, but it doesn’t reveal the whole story.” 5. Ecosystem thinking in AI implementation A siloed approach to AI often limits its potential impact. Sharbani advises organizations to adopt ecosystem thinking, which includes partnerships and integration across customer journeys. She shares a compelling example of a Canadian health insurer collaborating with supermarkets to reward healthy customer behaviors through AI. Takeaway: Look for opportunities to integrate AI solutions within a broader ecosystem that aligns with customers’ lives.

You'll make my day. ----------------------- Show Notes In this episode of Insights Unlocked, we sit down with Steve Portigal, a seasoned user researcher, author, and host of the Dollars to Donuts podcast, to discuss how the field of user research has evolved over the past 20 years. Steve shares his unique perspective on the significant changes that have shaped the industry, from the rise of in-house research teams to the impact of remote work on research methodologies. He also delves into the crucial difference between analysis and synthesis in research and offers practical advice for improving research outcomes. Whether you’re a new researcher or a seasoned expert, Steve’s insights will help you navigate the dynamic and sometimes challenging world of UX research. Key Themes and Ideas: The Growth of User Research: Steve reflects on how user research has grown from a niche, obscure practice to a well-established community of professionals. This growth has led to increased knowledge sharing through conferences, books, meetups, and podcasts, creating a stronger foundation for collective learning and debate. The Shift from Agencies to In-House Research Teams: One of the biggest shifts Steve discusses is the transition from research being outsourced to agencies and consultants to now being managed by in-house teams. While this change has brought research closer to the core of business decisions, it has also altered the dynamics of advocacy and how researchers communicate findings within organizations. The Impact of Remote Work and Research: With the rise of remote work, especially during the pandemic, remote research has become the default method. While this has expanded opportunities for inclusion and collaboration, Steve cautions that the loss of in-person interactions may limit researchers' ability to fully understand user behaviors and experiences. The Importance of Synthesis in Research: Steve emphasizes the often-overlooked distinction between analysis and synthesis in research. While analysis involves breaking down information, synthesis requires recombining that data into new insights and frameworks that can drive innovation. Steve provides tips on how researchers can improve their synthesis process by allowing time for deeper exploration and collaboration. Practical Advice for New Researchers: For those new to the field, Steve encourages embracing the growing community of UX researchers. He suggests seeking mentorship, engaging in networking, and experimenting with different ways of participating in the community, whether through writing, podcasts, or small peer groups. Looking Ahead: The Future of Research-Led Companies: Steve offers a thought-provoking idea about the possibility of research-led companies emerging in the future. He imagines a world where research isn’t just a service within organizations but a driving force behind product and service innovation.

    How women’s health app Clue uses jobs to be done for product success

Scroll down past the highlighted review and click on "Write a Review." You'll make my day. ----------------------- Show Notes Podcast Episode: Understanding User Needs with Rhiannon White, Chief Product Officer at Clue In this episode of the Insights Unlocked podcast, host Kerry Johnstone from UserTesting sits down with Rhiannon White, the Chief Product Officer at Clue, a women's health app with over 10 million users globally. Rhiannon shares her journey from political marketing and roles at BBC to leading product development at Clue, offering a unique perspective on how diverse experiences shape great product leadership. Key Themes: Career Journey and Curiosity About People: Rhiannon discusses her eclectic career and the common thread of curiosity about human behavior that has driven her work. Whether in marketing or product management, understanding people’s needs, problems, and desires has been central to her approach to creating successful user experiences. Bringing Insights to Product Leadership: Rhiannon shares a key moment in her career when she realized that shipping products was not enough—she needed to bring deeper insights to the table. By reconnecting with her passion for user research, she now spends time every week directly interviewing customers, a practice she refers to as her “Friday treat,” to stay grounded in the user experience. Jobs to Be Done Framework: One of the focal points of the conversation is how Clue uses the “Jobs to Be Done” framework to guide product decisions. Rhiannon explains how Clue’s users have four core needs: trust, orientation (understanding what's happening to them), empowerment (knowing what actions to take), and comfort (feeling connected and not alone). These “jobs” help the team at Clue prioritize product features that address real user pain points and deliver meaningful value. Understanding Subjective User Needs: An interesting revelation from the framework was the subjectivity around accuracy, where users with highly regular cycles might have different perceptions of accuracy compared to users with irregular cycles. This insight has helped Clue refine its product approach, ensuring that the app remains valuable to a wide range of users. Combining Emotional and Functional Needs: Rhiannon discusses how Clue integrates emotional needs, like trust and comfort, with functional aspects of the product. She gives examples of product features, such as pain tracking, that help users feel validated and connected while also providing actionable insights to improve their health management. User Research as an Ongoing Practice: Instead of thinking of research as project-based, Rhiannon stresses the importance of continuous user research. This iterative approach, including fast unmoderated testing, allows Clue’s team to keep refining and improving their product without slowing down development. The Role of AI and Human Connection: While AI is seen as a useful tool for processing data, Rhiannon emphasizes the irreplaceable value of direct human connection in product development. She advocates for staying close to users and cautions against over-relying on abstracted data or tools that disconnect product teams from real user emotions and experiences.

Key Themes and Ideas Discussed: Content Design Journey: Kelly discusses her path from sports writing to content design, reflecting on how her love for words and human behavior led her into the field of UX writing and content design. The Role of Content Design in User Experiences: Kelly highlights how content design is fundamentally different from other design disciplines, emphasizing that without the right words, a design may lose its effectiveness. She underscores the importance of clarity and using language that speaks to the user intuitively and humanly. Power of Content Testing: One of the core ideas Kelly shares is the importance of testing content before it goes live. She provides examples of how simple wording changes during her time at Eventbrite significantly impacted user engagement, including a 30% increase in click-through rates from a headline change. Balancing Qualitative and Quantitative Data: Kelly discusses the balance between qualitative insights from content testing and quantitative data like click-through rates. She explains how each type of data informs content decisions and drives user-centric design. Designing for User Motivation: A key insight Kelly shares is understanding and addressing user motivations. She explains how focusing on what users are trying to accomplish, rather than just delivering a product, can elevate the overall experience. Consistency and Personalization in Content: The episode covers strategies for maintaining a consistent brand voice while tailoring content to different user scenarios. Kelly introduces the concept of a “tone dial,” where the intensity of the brand’s tone is adjusted based on the user’s interaction. Advice for New Content Designers: Kelly encourages content designers to start testing early, even with time constraints, and to focus on building strong relationships with cross-functional teams like engineers and product managers to drive AB testing and other content experiments.

Ashley, a leading voice in higher education marketing, shares insights from her experience, including strategies for building trust with audiences through authenticity, empathy, and logic—the pillars of her "trust triangle" framework. They also discuss how to optimize email engagement by connecting these principles to measurable outcomes, such as open rates and unsubscribe rates. Key Themes & Takeaways: The Trust Triangle Framework: Ashley introduces the concept of the "trust triangle," composed of authenticity, empathy, and logic. This framework helps marketers craft emails that build and maintain trust with their audience. By applying these principles, marketers can foster stronger relationships and drive higher engagement. Optimizing Email Communication: Emails are a powerful but cluttered communication channel. Ashley emphasizes the importance of creating clear, concise, and authentic messages that resonate with recipients. She explains how being honest about who is sending the email, avoiding exaggerated claims, and keeping content relevant can make all the difference in driving engagement. KPIs and Trust: Ashley ties her trust-building approach to measurable KPIs like open rates and unsubscribes, suggesting that audience trust directly influences these metrics. She shares how tracking these indicators can reveal whether email strategies are resonating or falling short. The Role of AI in Email Marketing: The conversation explores how AI is shaping email marketing by increasing the volume of emails sent and improving productivity. However, Ashley warns that AI-generated content often lacks the nuanced touch needed to build trust and suggests ways marketers can use AI tools without sacrificing quality. Notable Quotes: "The trust triangle—authenticity, empathy, and logic—is essential for building relationships, whether you're talking to a colleague or sending a marketing email." "We're all in a noisy inbox, and people are making split-second decisions about whether they trust you enough to read your email." "With AI, we're going to see more emails, but we'll also need to be more clear and authentic to avoid getting filtered into junk folders."

Connor shares his journey through behavioral science and product strategy, highlighting key themes from his new book, Bridging Intention to Impact: Transform Product Development through Evidence-Based Decision Making.  Key Themes Discussed: Behavioral Science in Product Development: Connor explains how behavioral science principles can help product teams create interventions that lead to lasting behavioral change, not just short-term engagement. The Output vs. Outcome Dilemma: Many companies mistakenly equate product usage with success, but true success comes from creating products that satisfy user outcomes. Connor explains how shifting from tracking outputs (e.g., clicks, retention) to outcomes (e.g., behavior changes) can transform product success. Ethical Product Design: Connor emphasizes the importance of ensuring interventions promote positive, long-term behaviors. He discusses how to create ethical designs that balance business needs with user well-being. AI and Empathy in Product Development: As AI becomes more integrated into tech, Connor explores its potential to enhance empathy and help product teams better understand user perspectives. He also touches on the ethical considerations around using AI in a responsible, human-centered way. Practical Frameworks and Tools: Drawing from his book, Connor introduces the User Outcome Connection and Feature Impact Analysis frameworks, which help product teams validate and measure the behavioral impact of their products. Actionable Insights: Focus on outcomes over outputs. Rather than simply tracking usage, aim to understand and influence the behaviors your users are trying to achieve with your product. Use behavioral science to create small interventions within your product that help users reach their goals. Incorporate ethical considerations into your design process by ensuring that your interventions promote positive, lasting behavior change. Explore the potential of AI to deepen empathy in product design and user experience.
