Unite user logic and product logic

Your brand stands for quality and ease of use. But sometimes, despite best intentions, product teams forget what this means for them in terms of information architecture. They lose sight of the logic of their users and/or of the core information to be presented to users in the product – with a high bounce rate, a low customer satisfaction, or even a high churn as a result.

Relatively quick and cheap

To help product teams get up to speed, consider an information architecture review. This is a thorough yet relatively quick and cheap way to have (a part of) your product(s) evaluated.

Characteristics
User research is incidental and ad hoc.
Fragmented and outdated user journey maps.

Insights are not findable or accessible for every team.

No set of fixed methods.
Initiating fixed working methods.

Systematic.

The user journey becomes the starting point for the workflow.

Central storage of insights. Rights and access are managed.

Continuous user research, testing and implementation of improvements.
The same, interchangeable methods for collecting user data throughout the organization.

It is clear who can (and must) make the decisions.

Every product team - in all relevant chapters and departments - has the same way of working.
What we do
We start with a short audit.

We help you realize your first successes.

We give you the tools to work based on user data. We collect input from your target group.

Depending on where you are, Hike One can take responsibility while we take care of the implementation together.
We help with creating structure, defining roles and selecting the right tools.

We help to coach your (new) experts in-house.

We ensure that you can deliver consistently high quality with less effort.

Together we continuously map and manage the user journey, with responsibility increasingly shifting to your own team members.
We help you get the entire organization working based on user journeys.

We spread the gospel across all silos and we help coach the coaches.

If necessary, we help develop the business case and present it at C-level.
Hike One brought a range of approaches that helped us get from nothing to exciting very quickly. Their creative explorations pushed us into really innovative territory, and their collaborative spirit helped our work gain traction across the company. I would recommend Hike One to anyone with a product at a similar life stage.
