 In this episode, we discuss tips that will enable you to work effectively with your (User Centered Design) UCD consultants. Medical device companies believe that UCD consultants - Human Factors Engineering, UX/UI Design, Industrial Design - offer significant value for their projects.

We dive into aspects of building a schedule that supports iterative design, fostering a collaborative relationship with your UCD consultants, how to be strategy focused and scaling project work. Follow us @SunriseLabsInc, LinkedIn, YouTubeEmail Us: [email protected] for listening!
