Laura Klein reflects on the lessons learned from over 20 years of working in and consulting to Silicon Valley tech startups, including…

⭐️ Why do organisations resist UX research? ⭐️ What needs to be in place to maximise the value of UX? ⭐️ How did Eric Ries (author of The Lean Startup) shape her thinking? ⭐️ Do teams have to be happy to be effective in making great products? ⭐️ What do user researchers need to understand about product managers?
