Summary
At our September Enterprise Experience Community call, we host a double-header of topics — “UX metrics that matter” and “The future of our conference”. First, we have Jack Moffett, well-known design leader currently at Boeing, in a conversation about identifying and advocating for measurable user experience for enterprise apps and services.
