The Value of UX

The Value of UX with Claudia Bruckschwaiger

Claudia Bruckschwaiger emphasizes that the value of UX (User Experience) can be seen from multiple perspectives:

  1. Product Quality and Customer Loyalty: UX improves the quality of products, systems, and services by ensuring they meet real user needs. This leads to greater customer satisfaction and loyalty—not through gimmicks, but through genuinely useful and well-designed offerings.

  2. Employee Experience: UX principles applied internally help streamline processes, reduce stress, and ensure employees and freelancers can work effectively. Human-centered design also means caring for those inside the organization.

  3. Strategic Advantage: At a company-wide level, UX is a strategic tool. It helps businesses define the right products to build, align with real user needs, and reduce the risk of investing in unnecessary or unwanted features. This leads to long-term resilience and success.

Claudia summarizes UX value in one sentence as:

“Whether you are in product design, within your company, or on a strategic level, UX always reduces your risk, reduces your cost, and reduces time to market.”
