You Don’t Need a Grand Strategy to Achieve Organizational Change buff.ly/2Q3NEYr
Design your products around mindsets, not just user personas buff.ly/2rAJJcU
How the psychology of co-creation hooks customers - The Startup - Medium buff.ly/38Fr7Id
Slack and the Decline of Bots - OneZero buff.ly/2WadOdS
And the persona rant continues. This article does a great job of discussing the real world impact of using #personas as an excuse to not talk to your users. buff.ly/2Styhs4 #ux
Now here's something you don't see every day. The USA "Business Roundtable" has changed their view on "the purpose of a corporation" from providing value to shareholders to benefitting many stakeholders, including customers, employees and communities. buff.ly/2Z87gMQ
I also love the idea of persona spectrums, that acknowledge that the average person does not exist. Combined with Jared Spool's scenario-based personas, this could really revolutionise how we go about designing for real people. buff.ly/2OBWtVQ

This is a really useful, quick read on helping executives draw the link between business metrics and customer behaviour outcomes. It includes a great workshop that helps contextualise the relevance of outcomes to overall business performance. buff.ly/2LRIq0y
Replying to @SlackHQ
@SlackHQ rolls out a newer, faster app, but loses one of its empathetic micro-interactions. :th used to bring up the thumbs up emoji first, because Slack liked to believe our response to most things was positive. Pity to see it (probably unintentionally) gone
Really enjoying the #cxsummit2019 - looking forward to sharing @pixelfusionnz and @Auckartgal’s chatbot story this afternoon
