<div>In today’s competitive world the quality of the user experience offered to customers is increasingly a key differentiator in the marketplace. Customers are complicated and businesses are built upon stereotypes of ordinary people and their everyday lives and ambitions. A limited understanding of the experience that customers desire when interacting with products or services can lead to market failure or poor growth through lack of cohesion and direction at a strategic level. </div><div><br></div><div>The aim of this toolkit is to help entrepreneurs and businesses to understand how to create a sustainable User Experience Vision that captures the desired experience of end users and enables the formation of a User Experience Roadmap towards future business development.</div><div><br></div><div>This toolkit is based on design tools developed within the LEEDR (Low Effort Energy Demand Reduction) project and has been further developed within the Hothouse project.
