Process

Process

As a Product Lead working to improve the user experience for the University of Cambridge Judge Business School, the design process began with a comprehensive review of the competition to identify best practices and areas for improvement. Competitor reviews were conducted for INSEAD, Harvard, and London Business School, with a focus on their digital platforms and user feedback.


The review of these competitors identified several best practices, including personalized content recommendations, streamlined user interfaces, and easily accessible resources. These best practices were then considered for implementation in the design process for the University of Cambridge Judge Business School's digital platform.


To ensure the design process was aligned with the needs of the key audience, three distinct groups were identified: Masters prospects, Executive Education prospects, and Fundraising prospects (both existing and potential). Each of these groups had specific needs and requirements from the digital platform, which were considered in the design process.


In addition, the end constituents of research outputs, including audiences for the research centers, were identified as an important group for the digital platform. This group required access to the latest research findings, as well as opportunities to engage with the researchers and provide feedback on their work.


The design process involved close collaboration with stakeholders, including students, faculty, staff, and external partners, to identify pain points and prioritize areas for improvement. I utilized design methodologies that placed the user at the center of the process, prioritizing research, testing, and iterative development. By incorporating data-driven insights from Google Analytics and refining the user journey, I aimed to create a user experience that was intuitive, personalized, and cohesive.
