Findings from an exploratory user research study highlighting the unique insights and practical UX recommendations shared by participants with cognitive disabilities. In the summer of 2024, I became co-chair of a working group of expert researchers who came together to determine how best to perform accessibility testing with people with cognitive disabilities. This was work…
“We are deliberately putting more focus on loyalty and less on acquisition volume for its own sake,” Coralie Vrancken, CEO of the Le Soir Division within Belgium’s Groupe Rossel, told participants at our World News Media Congress in Marseille.

When a business changes hands, a patent gets licensed, or an investment portfolio gets stress-tested, one question surfaces almost immediately: what is this actually worth?
