Overview
When digital services aren’t intuitive, costs rise quickly. Confusing user journeys push people towards costlier assisted channels, inflate support demand, and delay the benefits of digital transformation. Globally, poor user experience is estimated to cost organisations over US$1.4 trillion each year through rework, inefficiency, and lost trust (Adobe Cost of Missteps report, 2024). Every unclear step, missed interaction, or frustrating process has a measurable financial impact — from higher contact-centre spend to reduced digital uptake.
The UX Master Class is an intensive one-day program designed to help professionals understand how UX and Service Design directly influence organisational performance. You’ll learn to connect design quality to real business outcomes, measure cost impacts, and build the case for investment in citizen-centred design. Through practical exercises, you’ll tackle real service pain points and leave with the skills to influence change across teams and stakeholders.
Transform your approach to service delivery. Join the UX Master Class and discover how better design lowers costs, strengthens trust, and delivers better outcomes for your organisation and the people you serve.
