Leading with User Experience
Shashank Deshpande
This, ladies and gentlemen, is sunny weather.
Three years ago, we were ‘drinking the kool-aid’
We believed, how people relate to technology would fundamentally change, as computing innovation became principally user-driven. We believed a software product revolution was imminent. And, we believed user experience would come to govern product success.
It just felt right to be in the business of building software products with exemplary user experiences. But even as optimism-biased entrepreneurs, we didn't think this would happen so fast, and at such a massive scale... Like today, estimates say that a billion smartphones are now active. But it seems this will pale in comparison to what will happen five years hence, because as many smartphones will be sold annually by 2016.
