Design better products with greater confidence and clarity
Get aligned
Watching someone struggle to use your product is both humbling and illuminating. Doing it with other people in your organisation breaks down silos and gets you on the same page. It gives you a better chance of creating a great user experience.
Reduce risk
What does it cost to design, build and support a product that has poor UX? We think it’s better (and smarter) not to find out. Reduce the risk of creating something that’s costly to support and negatively impacts satisfaction, by involving users early and often.
Remove friction
Friction kills customer satisfaction and that costs; whether it’s lost revenue, bad reviews or overworked support. It can be uncomfortable watching your users become confused and frustrated with your product, but what you learn more than pays for itself.
Discover insights
Analytics are helpful for spotting problems and seeing trends. Market research is useful for sizing opportunities and nailing your positioning. But neither will give you any depth of insight into your users mental models and how well your product is meeting their needs.
Increase momentum
Don’t waste time wrangling space, fiddling with technology, or finding the right people for your study. Our lab has everything already setup and ready to go (yes, including loads of sticky notes and sharpies). A world-class environment for shaping future experiences.
Measure impact
We get it - some people have trouble believing in human-centred design. All they see are sticky notes, when what they really want are numbers. We can help you to quantify the performance of your user experience in a reliable and evidence-based way.
The Space InBetween make our digital customer experiences real. Getting our people out of the office and into the lab - with actual customers - has been transformative. It’s building belief in human centred design. It’s a powerful way of developing understanding of our design capabilities, and it’s helping us to make better business decisions.
