Designing for Need (Hardcover)

Hardcover. Most CX advice assumes your job is to make customers feel something.But in the world of banking, the goal is very different: help customers finish something.Designing for Need introduces a sharp framework for modern financial services: separate WANT-to-do experiences from NEED-to-do ones-and stop borrowing playbooks from entertainment brands to solve task-based problems.With an engineer's eye for friction and a strategist's sense for prioritization, author and financial CX expert Derek Corcoran connects behavior, process, and digital design into a single practical mandate: reduce effort, accelerate completion, and build trust through clarity.Here, you'll learn a language leaders can align on, a way to diagnose where "delight" is backfiring, and principles that translate directly into simpler journeys-without relying on gimmicks, jargon, or performative CX.If you want a CX strategy your organization can actually execute-one that turns complexity into clarity and helps customers get in, get done, and get on with life-start here. Stop chasing empty delight and start prioritizing utility. This guide challenges financial leaders to ditch entertainment-style gimmicks in favor of streamlined, task-driven experiences that help users finish what they started.
