UX work

We create outcomes, not artifacts

In the tech world, it's easy to get hung up on the "what" - outputs, apps, screens, artifacts, etc. We'd rather focus on the "why" - the impact we create for our users, customers and clients.

Featured projects

UX designers make a considerable contribution to a variety of projects. Here are some of them.

How we like to work

We create products, optimize customer journeys and redesign processes, we conduct projects, consult, enable, run training courses and much, much more.

Human-centered design

We believe great offerings solve important user problems. Thus, many UXers at Bosch are embedded directly in product teams to deliver long-term user-driven insights, and ensure offerings keeping their end-users at heart.

Insights on-demand

Researchers help stakeholders uncover deep insights about users, customers, markets, emerging technologies, and more. Working in both short-term sprints and long-term engagements, UX researchers are an important tool for both quantitative and qualitative data collection.

Learning and growing together

Digital transformation

The tools in our toolbox

At Bosch, we use a mix of well recognized UX methods and design standards, as well as in-house UX and design tools tailored to Bosch. Here are some examples.

Double diamond design method

The Double Diamond is the baseline foundation for the way we structure our UX projects and activities. With dedicated processes for both the divergent and convergent phases, our robust design processes produce repeatable, reliable results.

Don’t just think outside the box. Break it.

Human-centered design is at the heart of how we do what we do. We aren't married to any particular tool or technology, because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter.

What problem are we solving? How do we uncover deep, user-centric insights? And how can we take what we've learned to build rich, immersive, sustainable products that are truly Invented for Life?

The Bosch Innovation Framework

The Bosch Innovation Framework enables everyone at Bosch to create innovation and achieve the extraordinary. It provides guidance on how to transform an idea into a successful product in the market and helps to generate holistic business models based on the 3 innovation pillars desirability, viability and feasibility.

UX in the driver’s seat: The Bosch UX model

Using an internally developed methodology, Bosch is committed to achieving excellent user and customer-centricity within all of our business entities. Here are some of the hallmarks of our UX model:

True north

User and customer-centricity is not just a part of the way we develop new products, services & digital ecosystems, but the key reason for it. Offerings should exists because of a need within the user, not the other way around.

User & customer

Our user-first approach does not only come to live via systematic orchestration & measurement of customer journeys but is also the core for the improvement of the product and service portfolio.

Processes & operations

User-centric teams deeply incorporate UX processes not just into the "how" of their activities, but the "why" as well. The user is always at the heart of our efforts, and is never an afterthought.

Excellence & learning

The human-centric approach does not only apply externally but also to our employees. Continuous competence development, the provision of the best possible working experience and culture development are the basis to delight our users and customers.
