The document discusses the role of a UX designer as a protagonist in developing an experience strategy. It outlines establishing the need for change by researching current experiences and problems. The UX designer then works to set a vision for transforming experiences by defining experience principles and scenarios. Finally, the strategy is validated through testing and iteration to demonstrate requirements before further experience design work.

Editor's Notes
Why did I want to talk about this? I believe that better design can improve the world we live in. I think we can do that through becoming protagonists in product and service development I wanted to share 3 Critical success factors Iโve learned so far in my career as an experience designer - Getting in at the right time (early, before requirements are set) Communicating simply and evangelising what we do is really important to do that Giving structure to the design process helps to simplify, communicate, teach and evangelise experience design Today I want to share some thoughts around those three things.
We all want to be understood. We all want to influence people
