How do you enable everyone who wants to do product discovery to effectively run their own research? 🤔 Allison Hall shared during our External Panel Launch Party that Rally’s email and study templates help unlock research for folks outside the Research org: product managers, designers, product marketing, and more. 🔐 Templates help to streamline and speed up the study building process so that anyone can run their own research while maintaining the consistency that your participants expect.

Leaders, you're failing 1 in 3 product marketers. Our State of Product Marketing 2024 report revealed a leadership disconnect in product marketing. Only 66.3% of product marketers feel supported by their leadership teams. That means over 1/3 of these key strategists don't have the backing they need to drive impact. Product marketers are the lynchpin between product, marketing, and sales - but they're being left behind. It's time for leaders to step up and empower their product marketing teams. Align around shared goals, provide resources, and foster an environment of collaboration. When product marketers thrive, your whole go-to-market strategy levels up. Don't let this crucial function fall through the cracks. 📈 The future is product-led. Is your leadership ready?

UX vs CX: Understanding the Role in Business Strategy In the latest episode of Pulse by Intuji, Julian Wallis and Cory Lebson, Principal of Lebsontech LLC, discuss how UX research integrates into business strategy and the differences between user experience (UX) and customer experience (CX). Cory explains that UX is often product-focused, with a qualitative approach that aims to understand how people interact with a company's products. On the other hand, CX encompasses the full scope of customer interactions, including service design and the overall journey with the brand. "UX is often more focused on the product... whereas CX includes service design and looks at the entirety of the experience," Cory shares. While both are vital, UX research tends to lean more towards qualitative insights, whereas CX can also involve quantitative methods. The episode highlights how businesses can align UX and CX strategies to create cohesive, customer-focused experiences that drive success. 🎧 Want to hear more insights from this episode?

Understanding why users are struggling with your product doesn’t have to be a guessing game. The Evident UX Audit gives you clear, actionable insights. How do you know it's time for an audit? Here's four good places to start... 1. Your digital products have declining user engagement or high drop-off rates. 2. You’re experiencing friction in customer journeys but unsure of the cause. 3. You need to improve conversion rates. 4. You know there’s a competitive edge through better user experiences. Are you making design decisions based on data, or intuition? #evident #ux #audit #digital #design #process #innovation
