The Full Loop Analytics Framework

  • Behavioral Science, Business UX Leaders, Business Value and ROI, Data visualization, Design

A framework to take organizations from output to outcome focused product metrics.

IDEAS IN BRIEF
The Full Loop Analytics Framework

A few months ago, while creating a metrics dashboard for a client I had an epiphany: “if a product is only viable when User, Product and Business are equally present (thinking of the product triad), how come most of the existing frameworks focus on isolated parts of the trilogy?”

I created a framework for considering all 3 parts of the equation:

  1. Key Experience Indicators measure the relationship between User and Product, understanding product performance as a result of user satisfaction.
  2. Key Performance Indicators measure the impact of product performance on business results. In other words, KPIs look at product metrics in terms of business results.
  3. Key Business Indicators measure how user experience impacts business results.

This way fo measuring performance:

  • provides a holistic view of product performance,
  • makes sure that improvements in one area don’t have a negative impact on others,
  • and ensures that everybody is thinking in outcomes (company-wide results) rather than outputs (individual metrics)

Read the full article below for information on each triad, how I created the framework, and ways of applying it to your organization.

  • Business UX Leaders, Content Strategy, Design Theory, Internal Company Dynamics

If you do a Google search on “UX pyramid”, you get lots and lots of UX pyramids – but they don’t all look the same

IDEAS IN BRIEF
What is at the top of the UX pyramid?

Idea in Brief If you do a Google search on “UX pyramid”, you get lots and lots of UX pyramids. If you take a closer look, you’ll see that most people agree about the bottom of the pyramid, but the top differs. What belongs at the top? At the top of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, we find self-actualization: the desire to become the most that one can be. What is the most UX design can be?

  • UX aligned to strategy – Focussing on the things that are bigger than the application is strategy.
  • UX shaping strategy – Most strategists get strategy, but getting digital is a different game and UX designers with a feeling for strategy can help shape engaging strategies.
  • Game changing UX – UX design can help change the game. That is the top of the UX pyramid for this author. UX design is about uncovering the deepest needs of people and creating solutions that solve these fundamental needs that they didn’t even know they had in an engaging way.
