Usability Quote of the Day

November 21, 2008

In the information age, as computers invade our lives and more and more products contain a chip of silicon, we find that what lies between us humans and our devices is cognitive friction, which is something new and something that we are ill-prepared to deal with. Our engineering skills are highly refined, but when we apply them to a cognitive friction problem, they fail to solve it. -- Alan Cooper, The Inmates are Running the Asylum, p. 92.   (via interaction-design.org)

Customer Experience Management vs. User Experence (Part III)

The distinction between Customer Experience Management and User Experience ...

"Continuing the posts on defining Customer Experience Management (CEM)… A number of consultancies and agencies equate CEM with User Experience. In our previous article, we outlined the five disciplines of CEM.

User Experience, or “Usability” is focused on the interface discipline of CEM. It is used primarily in reference to the analysis, design and/or development of human-to-technology interfaces. Some examples of this include:

- Visual, navigation & informational web design
- Interactive apps. w/ decision trees (e.g. register, search)
- Easy-to-use interfaces for complex technical systems
- Product designs for devices (wireless, PDA, IPOD)
- Information & visual design within devices (game, DVR, computer)

User Experience is an importantpart of CEM, but like Experiential Marketing, it’s a part of a much larger whole. User Experience architects center their focus creating functional, intuitive interfaces (online or systems applications and technological devices) that enable customer interaction and transaction. CEM practitioners focus on the comprehensive interaction of customers in both online and offline channels."   continued ...   (Via Live Path)
