CX and UX Researchers bring a combination of empathy and problem solving skills to the task of understanding customer and user needs. Some use surveys, interviews, focus groups and business ethnographies to learn how best to improve a product or service. Others use more specialized techniques to improve the apps, the websites and the technological devices that we use every day.
The faculty in this program will help you to become a unicorn in this exciting industry by training you to observe customers and users systematically and use the necessary technology to enable an organization to respond to what you’ve learned. That’s what we see as the best recipe for a customer driven approach.
