The secrets of developing user-centric apps

As low-code development quickly becomes mainstream for accelerating application delivery, design thinking is emerging as a key methodology for success in achieving digital transformation.
 
Every established organisation that is digitising its products, operations and customer experiences must focus anew on user experience. This transformation, and the inherent challenges of delivering solutions that meet both user and business needs, has led to surging interest in a concept known as design thinking. In fact, CIO Magazine recently called design thinking nothing less than the secret to digital success. If you haven’t yet embraced this iterative, user-centric approach to application development, you may be asking what it is and how to get started.
 
Digital Transformation

How do you really make the best of design thinking in your business operations? How can you use it to improve user adoption, achieve a competitive edge, or even to create new revenue models? The approach calls for a deep understanding of users, a test-and-learn approach to new ideas and constant iteration toward optimal outcomes.

Beyond the obvious merits of innovation, there is value in applying design thinking methods across your entire portfolio of application development initiatives. Draw on the success stories of our customers and register for the Mendix on Tour event.

 

Join us on Tuesday, 13th of March at CodeNode in London to learn about best practices for developing user-centric apps at speed and scale.

The application of design thinking methods is tightly linked to innovation.
