In this webcast from Human Factors recorded in November 2007, Phil Goddard and Susan Weinschenk explain how HFI's evolving set of user experience metrics can help you:

• quantify best practices in design at a site, sub-site or page level
• prioritize your usability resources across a range of projects
• get valuable feedback quickly, in "design time"
• track and benchmark user experience over time
• learn how you score against your competitors
• synthesize your various user data streams into an integrated UX dashboard

This is a webcast from Human Factors recorded on December 7, 2007 featuring Jerome More, Chief Experience Officer at HFI.  You can also visit the website where you can download the podcast and the companion guide (which require registration). 

The summary of the webcast is below:

The Internet has created a "self-service" mindset. Employees (inside) and consumers (outside) expect to find information and complete tasks on their own. User-centered design makes it easy for them to do so.

Yet just because someone can do something, it doesn't mean that they will.

So how can you create designs that are usable AND encourage conversion, contribution, uptake, and usage? Good user experience design makes this possible.

Co-hosts Jerome Nadel and Jay More present a strategic roadmap for user experience design. Combining usability with the science of persuasive design, learn how you can:

• impact online decision-making and user motivation
• create a dashboard-based framework to measure and track user experience
• integrate your customer channels and internal-facing systems
• help executives appreciate and understand the value of user-centered thinking and design
