Start a UX Movement at Your Company

Strategies and tactics for starting and fueling a user-centered
movement inside your company.


ProQuest, Ann Arbor

Selling user experience for internal corporate systems–where overall
user experience standards are often lower than external-facing
systems– can be an incredibly difficult challenge. Brian will showcase
strategies and tactics to help start and keep a user-centered movement
inside your company. Brian spent several years developing Web-based
applications and then employing user experience methods with internal
systems while successfully evangelizing user experience at Pfizer,
Inc.

Brian Phelps has been designing and researching systems for more than
10 years, with over 8 years of experience in user-centered design
techniques, including usability testing, heuristic evaluation, user
interface design and development, field usability studies, and
contextual inquiry. Among the products and services Brian has
evaluated as a consultant at Tec-Ed are consumer-oriented wireless
phone websites, an in-home wireless hardware product, Web-based
educational systems, a volunteer organization’s website, e-commerce
workflow, virtual desktops, a test authoring system, and alternative
Web-based survey designs. His clients include Campbell-Ewald, McAfee,
ETR Associates, VMware, Nextivity, McGraw-Hill, Seagate, Chrysler,
IEEE, RightNow Technologies, The American Academy of Ophthalmology,
and Monarch Teaching Technologies. Prior to joining Tec-Ed, Brian was
a user experience researcher, designer, and evangelist at Pfizer, Inc.
where he designed Web-based applications and acted as the user
experience lead for more than 15 projects.
