Products as hairy as Sasquatch happen when decisions aren’t driven by the voice of your users. As a CX leader in the home of Bigfoot—the State of Washington—Hannah Burn has walked a path through tactical digital product decisions toward organizational transformation, even amid severe cost constraints.

Hannah will share how she applied a scrappy approach to product feedback, used Qualtrics UX throughout the product development cycle, and changed the way WaTech operates—leading her organization toward human-centered norms. Hear what’s next and how she’s bringing this transformation statewide.


In this webinar, you’ll learn how to

  • Apply Qualtrics tools to bring user experience design into the digital product lifecycle

  • Mitigate product deployment risk with UX and CX methods

  • Overcome organizational resistance to new ways of working in technology design

  • Build a coalition of support for enterprise customer experience from the ground up

  • Mature from pockets of UX to an enterprise-wide CX strategy in government
