Zeux Innovation: Disrupting the Indian Ux Ecosystem Through Outcome Driven Design
Most UX design companies face primarily three ground challenges - lack of understanding amongst clients on what it takes to create and sustain exceptional user experiences; difficulty in identifying and recruiting the right UX talent with the right skill-set; and scaling up. Headquartered in Mumbai, ZEUX Innovation is a UX design & innovation firm that employs an “outcome-oriented” focus & approach to taking on the typical challenges in designing digital experiences. ZEUX has been on a rapid growth trajectory since its inception and has successfully delivered to several large corporations. ZEUX’s core USP is their extensive experience and expertise in using the art and science of outcome driven design to craft exceptional digital experiences. “The ultimate benefit of a UX intervention must be demonstrated in terms of business outcomes rather than merely on aesthetics”, says Hemal Gathani, Co founder, ZEUX Innovation. The UX domain has traditionally struggled to connect design deliverables to tangible improvement in business metrics. ZEUX’s ‘outcome oriented UX’ focus & approach has not only helped the firm deliver measurable success to its clients but has also helped it gain a strong competitive advantage. Not surprisingly, the most important and often the most challenging part of a UX design & innovation process is ‘problem definition’. ZEUX, when handling a project starts off with defining the key business metrics that need to be improved, which are translated into corresponding user goals & UX objectives. Over the course of the project, at key intervals, the team does governance checks to ensure the program is on track to achieving the key metrics defined. Apart from the bouquet of core UX assessment, research and design services, ZEUX also offers a unique service called UX lifecycle management. This offering was crafted as a result of the realization that though clients have started setting up their own UX teams, there is a real need and desire from the senior executives to get the outside-in perspective. As part of the UX lifecycle management offering, ZEUX assists clients in giving this perspective by providing an embedded UX leadership team for sustained guidance and advisory. An example of one such collaboration would be ZEUX’s role as the exclusive UX advisor and strategic partner to India’s largest securities and trading firm.
