NOVEMBER 2023CIOAPPLICATIONSEUROPE.COM6EditorialDigital Transformation 2023-CIOApplications EuropeEuropean organisations are placing a paramount emphasis on User Experience (UX) and Human-Centered Design (HCD) as pivotal elements in their digital transformation endeavours. Their central goal is the creation of digital solutions that are intuitive, accessible and highly efficient. This strategy represents a natural progression of the legacy that has developed in the digital age, with both businesses and institutions now acknowledging the role of design in shaping superior user experiences.
