In this episode, we’re joined by Tyler King, Senior UX Researcher at SAP, with over 10 years of expertise in human-centered design, product strategy, and driving UX maturity in enterprises. Tyler discusses her journey of transforming customer insights into successful digital products, the complexities of designing for large-scale systems, and why storytelling is a vital skill for UX professionals. Discussion Points - ~ How does it feel to be a design leader, and what has your journey been like in spreading ideas at the enterprise level, especially in complex industries? 1:47 ~ When you're dealing with a large product-based company with multiple product managers and owners, how do you prioritize tasks? 8:06 ~ How do you quantify data from diverse users, especially when they aren't software professionals? 10:31 ~ Rapid fire round 12:31 ~ Do you miss working in the B2C market? 16:50 ~ Is there any technology that you are really excited about, specifically regarding AI or quantum computing? 21:25 ~ Do you have any upcoming conferences you're attending? 22:57 ~ What advice do you have for people who want to follow your footsteps in UX, especially for junior UX professionals? 24:02
Show notes - ~B2B has really, really complex systems. And it's a really interesting space if you're into problem-solving. ~ Enterprise UX is often the most neglected side of design because people think that users are getting paid to use the software, so functionality takes priority over experience. ~ Being in the enterprise space, it's less obvious, but the challenges are always complex, and solving them is immensely rewarding. ~ I think the most important skill for junior UX designers is storytelling. It's what gets your stakeholders on board and helps them understand your work. ~ In enterprise, the interfaces may not be as sexy as Netflix, but if you're excited by solving complex problems, you'll never be bored. ~ When you're working on mission-critical applications, the impact is significant—it's not just about making something look good; it’s about making sure it works for the people who rely on it.
