Billy Hollis Email & Phone Number

I help tech teams, from Fortune 1000 to small companies, break free and innovate in the apps they build. I’ve helped those companies save or make millions of dollars through design and innovation in their software development.To get those results, I teach teams to do design thinking. That includes UX design essentials, but goes beyond that, starting with how to model what users do and what they need. From that, I teach experimental approaches to finding great, high value designs that users love the moment they set eyes on them. I challenge those teams to conceive and develop quantum leaps that empower users to make better decisions, speed operations, reduce errors, and eliminate most or all the training needed for new hires.This is not about turning developers into designers. I simply want your team to be more successful. I want to help them attack business problems and solve them, quickly and with high-value results. I want you, the person responsible for your company’s application development, to raise your profile by driving innovation into your company. If that sounds good to you, or even too good to be true, call me and let’s discuss how I can help you.To get startedYou can take the first step towards design thinking with a complimentary web session for your whole team. Typically 90 minutes to two hours, Billy does a few of these sessions every month.The session is not a sales pitch, and you will get zero sales pressure. Sessions are tailored to your circumstances and needs. Typical examples:• Got an old app? Are your users getting the most from it? Billy will look at your existing business app, with a first-cut analysis of the user experience and suggestions for improvement• Are you vague about how design, particularly UX design, can generate a return on investment? Together, we can do a collaborative session on potential return on investment (ROI) of good design for your particular circumstances. Find out how much money you’re leaving on the table because of neglect of design and innovation.• “Head turning” session for team inspiration. Includes examples of well-designed business applications and web sites. • Overview of user experience design from a developer-friendly perspective. Billy has done this introductory session for thousands of developers and other non designers, starting over ten years ago.  Request a time slot by emailing (billy –at–nextver.com), or by messaging Billy on LinkedIn or on Twitter (@billyhollis).
