--Detailed Description

For well over a decade the term 'User Experience (UX)' has been synonymous with 'Web Design' and 'Usability' has been applied largely to websites. But User Experience principles have so much to offer to a variety of industries and professions - it shouldn't be bound by a single industry or walled off in a separate department. At its core, UX is simply a way of solving business problems. Join Ben Woods as he provides a series of case studies and examples of UX making contributions in new frontiers.
