Do we actually need UX?: A Senior Perspective
Identifying the right time for UX oversight.
UX isn't just about how a service looks; it’s about how it functions under pressure. If your team is spending more time explaining how a system works than actually using it, or if complex workarounds have become the norm, it’s a sign that the fundamentals of logic and structure need attention.
Making the case for clarity
Where it applies, what it costs to ignore, and what improves as a result.
Where this usually applies
This is most relevant when digital services are the main way people interact with your organisation.
Public websites and applications
Service portals and portals
Internal systems used by staff
Forms or processes people rely on to get something done
As these services grow and change over time, clarity can slowly erode. What made sense when things were first set up becomes harder to follow for someone coming to it fresh.

So, do you actually need UX?
If your digital services are critical to your organisation but feel harder to use than they should, you don’t need a total redesign. You need to understand where people are getting stuck.
