What are User Experience, Customer Experience and Service Design?
UX (User Experience) encompasses any interaction users might have with a product or service. This includes user impressions, measuring a product or service's usability, and assessing how they fit the context within which recipients achieve their goals. CX (Customer Experience) relates various aspects of customer interactions with a brand. Service Design is the process of designing a complex service experience. All of these concepts adopt a holistic approach and address diverse experiences of a product or service’s recipient, placing them at the centre.
Why invest in research in the product or service development process?
Research aids product teams in making informed decisions to meet user expectations and achieve business success. The aim of research in the product or service development process is to gain a deeper understanding of the behaviours and preferences of their recipients. UX, CX, and Service Design research allow for the identification of user and customer needs, improving usability and thereby enhancing the satisfaction of product and service recipients. In other words, through research, we can reduce the risk of a service or product not meeting market expectations.
Which areas of the market do you focus on?
Selkie provides universal research that supports product development processes across various industries. While we have significant experience in the banking sector, our portfolio includes research tailored to a diverse range of industries. Every project undertaken by Selkie begins with an in-depth understanding of a specific product or service within its business environment. It is followed by a selection of proper methods and tools, which enable the fulfilment of research purposes within the context.
Is every research process identical?
Although there are some standard stages shared by every research process, their courses are tailored to meet each project’s requirements. Our research team begins by gathering information on research challenges. Then, it helps formulate research questions. All the stages to follow are adjusted to a project’s purpose and specific requirements of its market area.
When to consider such research?
It is advisable for both business owners and designers to consider employing research whenever they wish to make informed decisions regarding a product, service, function, or user experience. Research on the needs of recipients should initiate any product development cycle. It is possible to proceed with testing concepts from the very first sketches. The sooner ideas are verified against user needs and market realities, the greater savings can be made on the optimization stage.
How do you estimate the cost of a research project?
We usually do it by calculating the time required for the realisation of particular stages of a project. We apply our hourly rate, but our offer will also include overall pricing for a defined scope of work (fixed-price) We analyse every client’s needs individually and can thus always suggest an optimal solution.
