What
are the benefits of a user-centred approach?
User
Centered Design is an approach adopted by customer focused
companies who differentiate through providing a great product or service
experience.
Companies like Apple,
Amazon and Virgin use UCD to understand the changing needs, attitudes
and behaviours of their end users, helping them innovate and giving
them a distinct advantage over their competitors.
