Ep18. How UX drives digital transformation at the IPO with Gill Richardson- Transcript

Lucy Collins

Welcome to the Web Usability podcast, where we explore what it takes to make the web a more accessible and enjoyable place for everyone. Whether you're a website owner, developer, or just a curious mind, we're here to share insights, tips, and stories that can help you improve the user experience of your digital world. I'm Lucy Collins, Director of Web Usability and your guide on this journey to better usability. If you need a transcript of this podcast, just visit our website at www.webusability.co.uk.

Now, let's dive in!

Today on the Web Usability podcast, am thrilled to be joined by Gill Richardson, Head of Customer Research at the Intellectual Property Office. We have had the very great pleasure of working with Jill and the team now for many years on both user research and accessibility projects. And she's very kindly agreed to join me today to share a little of her wisdom. The IPO is currently undergoing a fairly radical modernisation of what they do and how they do it. A complete re-imagining of their digital systems, you might like to say. This is known as the One IPO Transformation Program and it's I believe it's a five-year project, although Gill might correct me when we get into things, that aims to deliver fast, flexible and high quality digital services and remove any barriers to innovation. So fairly noble aims that they have there at the IPO. It's a big job. And Jill has the perhaps unenviable task of ensuring that these new systems are built with users at the center of what they're doing. So in today's episode, I hope to find out a bit more about how Gill is doing this in the big organization, how she tackles such a monumental task and the role that user and customer research has played throughout this process. But Gill, hello. How are you? Welcome to the podcast.

Gill Richardson

I'm fine. Thanks. Thank you for having me. Yeah.

Lucy Collins

What a treat. So let's start. I'd love to know how you've got to where you are today. Briefly talk me through your career and how you've ended up in this mighty role at the IPO. Mighty role.

Gill Richardson

here that I think probably in:

Lucy Collins

And I think I've acquired a lot of hard work as well by the sounds of things. Let's give yourself some credit where credit is due here. I don't think you get to a role like that without putting in the hours and, to have grown your team from three to 15 in six years is quite phenomenal actually. And at a time as well when a lot of other UX budgets have been quite squeezed and UX roles have been dwindling in some places. So it feels that you have very much gone against the curve in that respect at the IPO to invest in this.

Gill Richardson

Have either been super annoying or super persuasive. It's probably two sides of the same coin, isn't it? To a certain extent. The organisation particularly in the last five years, has kind of shifted culturally to thinking very much more customer first. There are many other initiatives that you probably were speaking our customers language, which we've won awards for, think, the world. We are right on the coattails of that glory. I was nothing to do with it. But speaking our customers language, kind of the opposite side, so the service design, business analysis side of the user-centered design function has grown exponentially as well.

When we knew, we were going to launch into the transformation program, it was a massive advocate for bringing in more user researchers that we could grow, to grow our own, so from the ground up. we have within the organisation, I've introduced a progression framework. So we bring people in at that grassroots level and teach them the IPO way of user research. And then the opportunity to work with strategic delivery partners who have that breadth of experience, both across government and private sector projects and doing that kind of knowledge transfer from them just seemed like a massive opportunity to boost the capacity, capability, maturity of the team. And a lot of the time, even though we're a government department and we abide by all of the governance, requesting more people to do more for customers has felt very much like pushing it an open door.

So, I'm very lucky that I've got people around me that appreciate the importance of making sure that our services are based in user need.

Lucy Collins

did with the IPO was back in:

Gill Richardson

That's very much how I describe our team, well, my team and our function is to be the backbone of the project because we should never move into that, even into the discovery phase of the, of the projects without having some kind of focus on, on users. The golden thread of user research runs right the way through and then trying to embed that in as we start to go live and, know, we're in private beta, public beta, all of those different phases that you go through as a project, but making sure that that is continually brought to the forefront and refreshed. I'm not going to sit here and say it's always easy because it isn't. And, you know, the pressures of delivery do sometimes overtake the goodwill and the good intention and then doing the right thing. But I think.

The culture in the IPO is very much, even if we go down that rabbit hole of perhaps not putting the user first in some decisions, we always pull back from that and people are always happy to hold their hands up and put the work in to put it right. So yeah, over a five-year program, you're going to have times where it's not always going to be peachy. And I think we've had our share of that over the last two years, but anybody that tells you that a project runs smoothly 100 % of the time is either flipping or Or is it a little bit ostrich? Yes.

Lucy Collins

Yeah. And I'd love to get into talking about this particular project, the big transformation project in a moment, but you touched on it a little bit there, sort of how you approach user research today, the fact that it is embedded, you are the backbone kind of all the way through. Would you mind kind of going into that in a bit more detail? So how do you work with other teams within the organisation? How do you ensure that your research actually is used in a way that's going to inform decisions?

Gill Richardson

It is going to be actionable because I think that's often one of the key challenges that we have in the research space and particularly working internally you must work with so many different teams. It be interesting to know how do you actually create action off the back of all this fantastic stuff that you're doing. We're quite unique in the IPO and certainly being part of that cross-government user research community, hear how other user research functions are set up.

And we're quite unique in so much as that we don't sit in the digital data design and technology function. We sit in customer experience unit, which is a dedicated unit for we handle quality complaints, internal audit, feedback, satisfaction, research, ad hoc research requests. So all of that sits within customer experience unit that lends itself really well. We don't get caught up in, all of the digital governance that goes on.

We have an air of separation from our design colleagues and our business analysis colleagues, whilst having really close links. So we've tried many different ways in the past of trying to collaborate across those boundaries, I guess you could call them. Joint communicative practices, setting up different ways of working, having really close working relationship with the head of business analysis, head of service design. So we're always talking, always collaborating.

On that fundamental working level, all of the user researchers are embedded in the multidisciplinary teams across all of the work streams of the transformation project, alongside their design counterparts and their analysis counterparts. So we have that presence all the way through. We've matured and developed our ways of working under the guidance of our delivery partner, but also in the time that we haven't had a delivery partner on, really learn.

trying to spread our wings a little bit and think outside of the box. the research is now, we have a blueprint for user research in the IPO and we have a very clearly defined way of how we want to do things. And that starts with user research is a team sport. There's a cliche there. You've heard it all before, but actually, you know, everybody on that project team, everybody in that product space needs to get involved. just talking generally, the user researchers will start off with a kick-off session to ideate and kind of brainstorm some of those, the critical questions, the hypotheses that the product team are working towards, looking at previous research. And everybody is involved in that. There's equal stakeholders, equal partners in trying to determine the way forward for whether that be at a sprint level, an epic level, or just at the whole phase, so a disco alpha beta phase. And then at the beginning of each sprint

that collaboration continues right the way through kind of co-design sessions with developing prototypes with the designers, having those discussions, really trying to hold the design community to account in terms of questioning the guys are empowered to question how does this design decision meet a user need. That dialogue happens all the time and they're getting much, much braver at pushing back where they need to. So we can not just for the purposes of a service assessment, but

so that we can sit back and say that user needs are met and whether or not we've got an audit trail and they're on a backlog or there's a plan to meet them. So, there is that accountability all the way through and it's a shared ownership, I think, and that's perhaps emphasized by that not sitting in the digital space. I don't know, it's a difficult one to try and articulate properly, Lucy, to really get across where that separation really helps us, but we're all part of that UCB community, but with a little bit of independence from it.

Lucy Collins

Which I think is so important because you almost act like an agency within the big organisation, don't you? You're kind of doing the role that we would often play, which is to come in with very fresh eyes and, okay, yes, you're close to the designs. You've been seeing them all the way through, but you're almost being the user angel that sits on the designer's shoulders and says, hey, but what about the user in this? And it's amazing to hear of a culture where there is such empowerment to be able to do that because often we hear stories where people will try and do that, but no, the designer is always right. The designer knows what they're doing or, but this is just one person's opinion. Why do we need to be listening to this? was like, well, no, this is your users collectively opinion. It's not like we're here listening to the CEO telling us what we need to do. This is us listening to our customers and us feeding this back into you. think it's brave is a really nice word to describe that. I mean, it shouldn't take bravery to challenge

things and try and do things from a user perspective. But I often think it does because it can be the moment where, we've invested all this time into creating this certain direction of travel with a prototype. And then suddenly actually we're realizing that isn't working because of the user evidence. And I think there's often a, not often, but there can at times be a feeling of, well, does it really matter? Let's just carry on with it anyway. mean, I speak from experience. We've a little while ago did a project where we were brought in to do a user test.

And it was very much a box tick to say, we've involved users in this, but they didn't take anything from the insights. They didn't actually want to make any changes. And it was a really frustrating project. So even though we'd bought them along for the ride, like you were just describing, you're embedded with your stakeholders all the way through. It felt like they were bought into the methodology. It felt like they were bought into the people you were testing with. But even so it still didn't cause any action because they actually were just doing it to tick the box. And that was just the culture of that organisation. And it's, it's very frustrating So it's lovely to hear of an alternative example.

Gill Richardson

And we balance that with that we'll, you know, it's not always all, Yeah, whatever they're saying is peaches and roses. I don't know, two nice things. It's not always smiles and, and we don't always get our way. that horrible phrase MVP comes in, a lot into discussions in terms of should we, could we, must we, won't we do things.

It sends it a chill through me when people go, is this really MVP? I think we have to remind ourselves quite a lot that we want to get things out for customers quickly. The whole point of this transformation is to make things better and make things quicker, slicker, faster, better. And we can't gold plate things. And that's the whole agile mindset. So that goes back to that being the flea in the ear of the project team. If we can't get something in as MVP, it goes on the backlog and we don't lose sight of it.

through the user needs, through all of the artifacts that we put out there. And actually the biggest pain point for us is communicating that back to users. The end users is that actually what you're seeing as an MVP might not meet all of your needs 100 % at this point, but there is absolutely a commitment in the intellectual property office to make sure that as we iterate and go through continuous improvement, those needs will be met. And I think it's striking that right balance to maintain the motivation because user research is the ones in the front line hearing the stories and understanding the needs and really empathising with the pain points that people are describing and balancing that in a pragmatic way with the project to be able to deliver something that will work and meet a selection of primary needs with the acceptance that will move on and do something a bit more detailed and a bit sexier.

So there's always a little bit of attention.

And like I say, that closing the loop with the end user is a difficult one to do, I think, in managing expectations. But the commitment feels like the important thing here. Because I think with that MVP point, this is something that I saw Jakob Nielsen from the Nielsen Norman Group talking about was this idea that when something goes out, it is almost a one step forward, two steps back from a user research perspective. Because to a certain extent, you do need to get something out there. You do need to get a product over the line. as you say, it's unlikely to meet, well, something can never really meet 100 % of the needs of all that it's users anyway, but it's unlikely to meet as much of the need as you perhaps would like it to. But knowing that and then being willing and including the time in your processes to iterate and to have the time to do some user testing.

I think it often will get squeezed, doesn't it? Because as you say, project deadlines and we need to get something out the door. although we've got five years for this big transformation project, actually that's not a lot of time in the grand scheme of things. So I think it's that balance. And it always is when you talk about user needs and business needs, like the two things are not mutually exclusive. They need to balance with one another. But it's interesting to hear the process from your side of things, which is, yes, we're going to perhaps put something out the door, but being fully aware and fully cognizant of the fact that this isn't as good as it could be. And we make a commitment to our users to continuously improve.

Gill Richardson

Yeah, definitely. And again, it's a of the culture and the mindset of the organization and the program that I genuinely believe that there is a commitment to do that. We're not just going to leave the MVP floating around for years. Come back to me in two years time and have that conversation again.

Lucy Collins

We'll do a Gill Richardson revisited episode in two years and see how you're getting on. So I feel we've alluded to this big project a few times now. Do you want to talk me through what is going on at the IPO and yeah, what is so special about it, I guess?

Gill Richardson

So the intellectual property office are the keepers of the keys of the register and journal of everything, patents, trademarks and designs. So, if you have an innovation or an idea and you want to

years. When I first joined in:

And so we then need to make sure that those online services have a similar experience for both of those types of people, a professional user who doesn't need a lot of wraparound instructional support, and a novice or private applicant user that might need a little bit more support, wraparound guidance, or in-journey guidance. So trying to meet, again, all of those needs as part of this transformation program is a huge deal because you only need to go onto the IPO website on gov.uk and start to look at some of the guidance and some of the legislation and all the different forms. How to then transfer that into a digital experience that isn't just digitising paper is a huge undertaking. Yeah.

Lucy Collins

But here we are, we're doing it. You are. And you're quite far into it at this point, aren't you?

Gill Richardson

I'm not long finished, I guess, phase one, which was patents. So patents is the most legally complex and that's one of the reasons why that went first. It's absolutely no reflection on how much we value our trademarks designs customers. It's just that patents is the most complex and longest journey. in phase two is all about trademarks and designs. And that's just what we're starting to dip our toe into now is thinking about that pre-discovery phase for phase two. Really exciting times.

Lucy Collins

Indeed. so, talk me through the role that user research has played I mean, it sounds like it's been involved a lot. So, it'd be interesting to understand how, what you've done and the role it has played throughout.

Gill Richardson

I always started before we even started, The best place to start, before the beginning. I love it. It really did. In a pre-project phase called mobilization, that was like locked, people locked in rooms, like just trying to think differently because, you know, as I think I've tried to describe we're dealing with an awful lot of information. We wanted to completely change the way people think about intellectual property in the UK and how they interact with us. And let's not shy away from the truth. There's a lot of people that have built their businesses around how we did things. And so, you know, we wanted to make sure that we were taking that into account too. So, lots and lots of thought, putting information from all areas of the business, but specifically all of that rich previous research that we'd had from customer satisfaction surveys, from previous research projects, from ad hoc research that either we've done ourselves or we've commissioned people like yourselves to do. And really trying to dig into what that was telling us people needed from us. And we've been hearing for a long time, digital self-serve, digital self-serve. Now what that means in reality might not be what the end user actually envisaged.

But that's what we talked about earlier in terms of iteration and continuous improvement and how we act on that feedback. So that was mobilization, doing that really deep thinking, reflecting on what we already knew, the unknown unknowns, you know. And then we started small. So we started with all of our managed services first in a discovery phase. I give my user researchers a shout out here, Jack Hale, Sean Nelson, for the very first user researchers to get into transformation and be on the manage IP, manage intellectual property work stream. It was a scary time. None of us, because we were such a small team when we first started, we were really green and we were doing this through COVID as well. So not only were we like trying to start a new project, then COVID hit and we completely had to change all of our methodology and the way we would train in people in undertaking research from in-person to virtual. So when you kind of wrap all of that different context around it, was right to start small. And we did that Manage Intellectual Property discovery, and that was really successful. And then we moved on to introduce Secure Intellectual Property, which is all of their application process parts that came online for their discovery as Manage were going into their alpha. And then research came on research is all about the search services, the register in the journal that came on as secure finished their discovery.

Lucy Collins

So you can see that phase one was very much a staged approach to make sure that we were doing the right thing at the right time in the right order. did you end up with a bit of a blueprint because you did it in this slightly, it's not waterfall, but you know what I mean? In that you kind of like was starting on one project and then you moved on to the next. Did that help you develop a blueprint? Did you end up doing similar things across the different work streams?

Gill Richardson

Very much so, yeah. Lots of rinse and repeat. Really wanted, particularly working with a strategic delivery partner that we had at the time, we actually really wanted to make sure that in all of our knowledge transfer and in building all of our practices that we built those repeatable patterns so that the researchers don't become one trick pony. So, I mentioned Jack and Shauna in Manage IP, don't want Jack and Shauna to be forever associated with Manage IP is boring for a researcher to be in the same space the whole time.

So, by building that kind of repeatable patterns, people can move around and we can build them a breadth of knowledge across the team, across all of the different work streams.

Lucy Collins

You'd lose the fresh perspective as well that we discussed as well. You'd suddenly be down in the weeds with everybody else and not being able to do that, flee in the air as you described it, which I liked.

Gill Richardson

And I think we've tipped into that a couple of times, know, when we've gone around the same round of research 13 times in a row and you think actually what value is this adding? When is it right to say no, enough is enough. We cannot bring any more out of this. We're not going to get any fresh insights. Let's move on to the next thing and then wait until it's live and see what feedback we can get.

Lucy Collins

How do you call that? Because I think that is a really important point, as you say, like you go round and round and round. And when do you say, okay, enough, we've got enough, let's move on?

Gill Richardson

I trust the researchers to do that. And with that particular example, we literally did 13 rounds of research on the same set of screens consecutively. And I was hearing it from them and they were just fed up. We're not getting anything. Not only are the researchers fed up, the customers are fed up. They're seeing the same thing time and time again. You're introducing design bias, research bias, all sorts of stuff into that. So that was probably one of the only times that we've had to do kind of some intervention and say, let's move on now with the product managers and say, and the design community and just say, okay, enough is enough. I talked about our niche user base. It's really difficult to engage people with research at the best of times when you're going out and using exhausting the panel of people, the pool of people that we build with the same thing. We need to be sensible about what value that adds. again.

open challenge, honest communication that worked really well. And then we did it and they, you know, we moved on and we haven't touched on everything that's wooden, been in that position again since.

Lucy Collins

Okay. And one of the things I wanted to bring in, maybe I don't know if now is an appropriate moment, is just the top of accessibility as well, which is obviously what we've been working with you most closely on. for me, and I think for a lot of people, user research for me is user research, user testing and accessibility are one of the same. They're just sort of, you know, on a sliding spectrum. But I think a lot of people still think of things as, all right, we're going to do user research and we're going to do accessibility testing. And they feel like they're two separate things. What's your approach at IPO? I know that's something that's been of increasing importance. Yeah. What's your approach and what drives it?

Gill Richardson

We strive for every round of research. We include people that have accessibility needs or additional requirements. I talked earlier about our user base being a little bit shy then we don't have masses of people on our panel that are real users that we can talk to each round of research. So, we draw a lot on our internal staff networks, talked about culture at the IPO. is a brilliant place to work for. We have a number of different staff networks where people with additional needs can get that support from those communities, and they have been super supportive. ICANN and I think is the neurodivergent network. ICANN is the disability network. And they've been super supportive in terms of helping us by proxy in testing stuff and working with us to really understand where we're getting things right and where we're not getting things right in our designs. We also work with people for research. I don't know if I'm allowed to shout that name out. We work with an external provider who we source accessibility participants through as well.

But nothing beats the real-life user. we're always trying to find different ways of trying to engage people that might have undeclared needs that would be happy to work with us and test our services. Accessibility is super high on our agenda, not just because it's a tick box exercise, not just because it says so in the service manual, not just because we have to adhere to WCAG. It's something that we are as a profession dedicated to making sure we get right.

I've worked with yourself, Lucy, over the last 12 months, 18 months to try and increase the tempo of how often we're really highlighting some of these things. We're reflecting that internally as well. So not just applying those standards to our external systems because of the service manual but also looking at internally how accessible our systems are, how we can make that better, how we can engage people right from the off and really understand that all of the diverse needs that we have in the organization. Yeah. So it's tricky. It is really tricky because not people are shy. People don't want to, they don't want to declare. They don't want to tell us that they've got additional needs. And that's absolutely their choice. It's not something that we mandate, but it's really helpful if we know.

Lucy Collins

absolutely. And I think it's great. You've got support of internal networks because I know that there is also sometimes the concern of burdening internal staff with this additional requirement on top of the day-to-day jobs. So, it's getting the balance, isn't it? It's getting their support, the fact that you're also engaging with people with that lived experience externally. But you said already that the pool of people, the professionals in particular that you work with are challenging to reach at the best of times. If you're then throwing an additional accessibility requirement in there as well, then it does make it even more challenging, particularly if there isn't the feeling that you can disclose will hopefully change, you know, but I think that there is still understandably concern about disclosing a disability and it being perceived in a particular way. So, people don't, particularly given what's going on over in the United States at the moment, the less said about that, the better, frankly. mean,

Gill Richardson

I know it's a problem across government, other government departments, you know, malign the fact that they're in the same boat and, you know, that let's get some perspective on it. For a government service, predominantly our customers are not necessarily the most vulnerable customers in the country, Where I've come from before in DWP, very much more important to understand that those elements of demographic for those people to make sure that those services and that they can access the services and that the services are right for them. The world of intellectual property is slightly different. It's equally as important, I would argue. Maybe I have to argue. mean, you're perhaps a bias, but yes. Yeah. And what we want to do is try and create that safe space where people are comfortable to declare. Yeah. Yeah. There's a narrative around it that I don't like and it's unpleasant and it leaves an unpleasant aftertaste in your mouth. And I don't, there's no quick fix to getting away from that is there. Otherwise we'd have done it.

Lucy Collins

Yeah. Okay. Well, to wrap up, I'd love to get your advice. So being a few years into this,

huge, I mean, more than a few years, five years into this digital transformation project. What advice would you have for other organizations approaching and undergoing such a complex transformation in their own space?

Gill Richardson

Don't put a time limit on it. Yeah, don't say we'll have done this in five years. Yeah, it's difficult to say anything without sounding cliche, but don't be afraid to take risks. I think the government agencies, government departments can be so risk averse. I think it's right that we've got governance around things, but don't be afraid to take risks. think let's be honest and all government services should be designed with the user at the heart of what they do. Don't be afraid to be the flea in the ear of your product teams. If it's not working that way, remember that user research is a team sport. Get your designers, your business analysts, your product managers in the room, listening to people firsthand and probably. Don't forget to take your annual leave. Work well balance. It's talked about a lot, but it's so easy in there with the pace of some of these programs to get burnt out. Particularly if you're working, we found with delivery partners that are able to roll on off on off. We're the ones that are here 24 seven and we're the ones that are going to be delivering the systems. So if something doesn't feel right, speak up, but look after yourselves predominantly. Yeah, it's a long old slog and calling the experts like web usability. mean, some of this stuff we couldn't have done without you. So don't be afraid to say when you need help.

Lucy Collins

I think that is a perfect moment to end on. Gill, thank you so much for your time today. What a fascinating chat. Steering a public sector ship as large as the IPO is clearly no easy task. What you've described in the way of old legacy systems, processes that you've had to contend with some entrenched internal views, although it's lovely to hear of an organisation that does have such an open door policy for quite radical change. And then you've got the millions of users that depend on you to be able to process their IP requirements. And what is clear from what you've described is that really involving those users right from the very beginning, even before the transformation project began, keeping them involved all the way through the process is really key to the success of this enormous project. It's allowing you to build a service that they want, the user experience is effective.

And then you've also got the evidence that you need to change minds and challenge the status quo and the way that your team is embedded throughout the organization gives them the power to be able to do that. I'll be sharing a link to the One IPO project in the show notes if anyone does want to learn more about the great work that the IPO are up to.
