Effective notifications using fogg’s behaviour model

  • Behavioral Science, Customer Experience, Design, Usability, UX Education, UX Magazine

Working with notification systems across different platforms is quite an interesting challenge. In this article there are both the process and key takeaways on how you can build an effective notification system.

Article by Paulo Olim
IDEAS IN BRIEF
Effective notifications using fogg’s behaviour model
  • The process of building a notification system across different platforms and making notifications effective and engaging takes a hell lot of thought and discipline.
  • Fogg’s Behaviour Model says that there are three elements that must converge at the same moment for a behavior to occur:
    1. Motivation – it can be either physical like a sensation, emotional like anticipating something in hope or fear that it leads to something, or it can be social when people feel a sense of belonging
    2. Ability – ability as the name suggests is the means or skill to do something and it can be related to different things such as time constraints, routines, physical effort, cognitive overload or even going beyond societal norms
    3. Prompt – without prompt, someone can be very motivated and have the ability to perform the behavior, but there’s simply no call to action
  • Fogg’s Behaviour Model helps you steer in the right direction but the decision of which you notify users may depend on a number of variants and tools, whether that’s analytics or user research.

  • Customer Experience, Design, Design Theory, Usability, UX Education, UX Magazine

The divide between UX/UI Designers and CX Designers has started and it will deepen and widen before settling into a very new normal. Learn what future holds for CX/UX professions.

Article by Debbie Levitt
IDEAS IN BRIEF
2-Year Prediction for CX/UX Professions
  • Debbie Levitt gives 2-Year Prediction for CX/UX Professions where there are and will be 2 groups:
    • UX/UI Designers, UI/UX Designers, UX Designers, and Product Designers are often (but not always) visual designers who make wireframes
    • CX Researchers, CX Architects, CX Visual Designers, CX Content Strategists, and CX Data Scientists
  • UX/UI Designers are often visual designers who make wireframes and rarely have extensive knowledge of cognitive psychology, human behavior, and the true foundations of User Experience.
  • The CX Visual Designers believe in User-Centered Design, Human-Centered Design, in complete customer-centricity and put it into practice in every phase and every step of every task.
  • In the course of the next 2 years the world will keep fighting and trying to explain “the value of design” and “reasons to be customer-centric” in order to “save” CX and UX.
