About this Session
All too often UX projects are scaled back, defunded or ignored because their true value isn't understood. At Skyscanner, the CX (UX) team turned that around by articulating their impact more clearly. Drawing on their experience, this keynote will explain how to translate great design, content, and user experiences into measurable outcomes like improved conversion rates, customer retention, and revenue growth. Learn actionable strategies to define relevant UX metrics and align those with performance metrics the business cares about to craft compelling narratives that resonate with non-design stakeholders, ensuring your work secures the recognition and funding it deserves and you get a seat at the business table.
