Challenge Summary
Welcome to the RUX - Business Health Assessment Tool Responsive Design Concepts Challenge.
In this challenge, we are looking for your help to create initial Design Concepts for our Business Health Assessment Tool Application. We are looking for you to create storyboard designs that will help provide concepts and new ideas for solving our design problem.
What is a RUX Challenge?
The RUX (Rapid User Experience) challenge uses the same format as our famous LUX Challenge except it is not "Live" at an event. The RUX Challenge Series provides you with an opportunity to show digital leaders from some of the largest companies in the world just how good your concepting and user experience (UI/UX) design skills are.
RUX (Rapid User Experience) challenges are fast, fun, and have more chances for you to capture prize money!
Note: You do not need to have RUX challenge experience to join this challenge - Just jump in and give it a try! Make sure to follow the challenge details, the challenge forum and ask questions
As part of our client initiative to increase their customer centricity, our client has developed a new Business Assessment Tool that uses its knowledge and heritage of industry best practices to assess their customers on critical dimensions.
This Health assessment tool has been positively received by both sales teams and clients who are using the report to build the business case at board meetings. We are now looking to digitize the tool to deliver a professional and scalable experience across markets and sales teams. The current need is to ensure that there exists the right definition of the framework, questions, maturity levels and scales.
