— learn

One course. How to justify design decisions in any exec review.

UX Metrics & Strategy is the self-paced version of the workshop I run inside client engagements. It teaches the measurement frame I use to keep design work funded — KPI trees, instrumentation, and the exec-review walkthrough that turns a redesign into a defensible financial argument.

UX Metrics & Strategy

The measurement frame behind every audit, engagement, and advisory retainer in the consulting practice — packaged so a working designer can run it without me in the room.

— what you’ll leave with

  • Build a defensible KPI tree for any product surface, in under a day.
  • Translate UX work into the language of revenue, retention, and cost-to-serve.
  • Walk into an exec review with the receipts, not the case for design.
  • Carry the same framework across employers, clients, and product categories.

— curriculum

Six modules. Each ends with a working artefact you can take into Monday’s standup.

  • module 01

    Why most UX work cannot survive the CFO conversation

    The structural reasons design loses budget reviews — and the framing shift that fixes it before the slide deck is opened.

  • module 02

    KPI trees from first principles

    Building a measurement tree that ladders from a single product surface to a board-level metric, with the seams labelled.

  • module 03

    Mapping UX moves to the right node

    How to attach a redesign, an IA change, or a content move to the KPI node where finance can see it move.

  • module 04

    Instrumentation that survives the rewrite

    Picking the events, properties, and dashboards that keep working after the next product pivot.

  • module 05

    The exec-review walkthrough

    A working script for the 20-minute review — what to show, what to cut, and how to handle the two questions every CFO asks.

  • module 06

    Pricing your own measurement work

    Turning the framework into a billable engagement: scope shapes, deliverables, and what to refuse.

— prefer the bespoke version

The course is the self-paced cut. The advisory retainer is the same framework, run live against your roadmap.
