How to make millions from usability testing

If you prefer reading to listening, our article on user testing covers many of the techniques mentioned in this talk.

It’s no exaggeration to say that this article could change the direction of your business.

We have an eccentric approach to user research, and it has led us into some strange situations. For good reason, though; it has helped us to make hundreds of millions for our clients.

Below, you’ll find the slides—and video—from one of our most popular talks, which we’ve given at several conferences.

The talk contains the usability tips and tools that give the most winning insights per minute, based on our experience.

It also includes some robots, a shed and ’90s rap legend Vanilla Ice.

So if there is a problem, yo, we’ll solve it. Check out our hook (slides) while the DJ (Google Slides and YouTube) revolves it (them):
