Establishing a realistic strategy is a creative endeavor based on analysis and results in a practical plan.

Of course, it also can be a frustrating, ambiguous process fueled by pipe dreams and personal opinions. (For too many teams, this is a daily reality.) 

So what characteristics lead to concrete elements that will actually work for your team? 

Find out from Jim Kalbach, principal UX designer at Citrix. He knows how to remove fuzziness from design discussions and inspire consistent action from diverse personalities.

• How to develop guiding principles that overcome the challenges you’re facing
  
• What inspires consistency in behavior, and how strategy relates to analysis and planning

Developing a repeatable framework for decision-making

• Techniques to tie high-level business goals to detailed-level team implementation

Using the UX Strategy Blueprint

Pitching your UX strategy to others
