It may seem to us now that voice user interfaces (VUIs) aren’t learning quickly enough, but they’re actually evolving at a pretty good pace. Primary platforms are making substantial strides to define the process and practice of crafting a VUI, for example, so that third-party UX designers can bring us new and hopefully better experiences. But UX designers also need time to adapt. Yes, they can follow many of the fundamental guidelines they’re used to applying to visual interfaces, but they also need to operate with new tools and new rules. What makes VUI most difficult is the absence of a visible interface — there are no confines of a screen to keep users boxed in. In this space, we have to design for every possible situation without that visible safety net.

Digital transformation remains a hot topic in the C-suite. However, transformation efforts are meeting with mixed results. Over 60 percent of companies Lopez Research surveyed strongly agreeing with the statement "Our digital transformation efforts are moving slower than expected." Successful digital transformation efforts require a company to operate its business effectively while simultaneously navigating people, process and technology changes. The delicate balance of execution and evolution requires a company to lean on its strategic vendors for assistance.
Companies like SAP are at the core of businesses operations for a diverse range of companies such as Bosch, Nestle and Royal Dutch Shell. To learn more about how various industries are approaching digital transformation, I attended SAP's SAPPHIRE and ASUG conference. The conference provides ample opportunity to discuss the challenges and opportunities of digital transformation initiatives with various business leaders and SAP executives. There were at least seven key takeaways that every business leader should consider as they build transformation strategies.

User experience is often overlooked in website and app design and, indeed, the design of many things. How many times have you felt compelled to push a door only to find you need to pull it instead? While fire codes might dictate such design, it’s an example of user experience at work.
While taking a moment to figure out whether a door is push or pull sounds like a small thing, those types of irritants can add up online -- and cost your business customers.

For decades technology has been focused on the user experience. After all, if the average user can’t understand how to interact with the features of a device or an app, that device or app is destined to be an abject failure. Yet, in recent years, the UX community has undergone a revolutionary shift: Instead of focusing on users, most UX professionals focus on customers.
The difference between user experience (UX) and customer experience (CX) is a subtle one, but it is one that is incredibly important to the field of design. For those interested in pursuing user experience design degrees, this is the history of the transition from UX to CX and what means for the future of design.
