2.   Communicating needs, wants and ideas

Involving end users in the design process is vital to developing successful products, but getting users to articulate their needs and ideas is not always easy.  This podcast describes and illustrates five ways to help users articulate their ideas.

3.  Communicating with international users

Global products and communication can offer businesses great efficiency benefits. However, these can be lost if the local needs of users with different languages and cultures are not also considered.  This podcast describes and illustrates five important points to help you clearly communicate your global message to local users.
