Story First: Crafting Products That Engage
While many of us seek out the newest and shiniest tools, methods, and processes to design products and services, we often overlook one of the oldest, leanest, most effective tools out there: the structurally sound story. Whether we are consciously aware of it in the moment or not, we humans experience everything as if it was a story – the better the story, the more engaging, memorable, and repeatable the end-experience. In this talk, you will learn how taking a story-first approach to design and development can help you engineer products and services that better engage your customers, just like a TV show or movie. You'll see how using story as a tool will help you not just talk about products and services, but build them plot point, by plot point, ultimately setting the foundation for your product's success. -- About Donna Lichaw Donna is the author of The User’s Journey: Storymapping Products That People Love.
