There are a couple of videos out there produced by Human Factors International and TruScribe (the videos you see of people creating large dioramas on a whiteboard). They are very well produced, commonly being drawn to a talk at a conference. One specifically that I like to show is "The ROI of User Experience with Dr. Susan Weinschenk". It is good for the manager types and for people who spit out "fast moving space" -- giving a good illustration of how Return on Investment (ROI) work in the user experience space. The video can be found here: [this video] "Bad Requirements" is one of the reasons called out in the video as to why products fail. =) There are several other videos on the subject of Hum

The basic tennet you are selling is ROI - Return on Investment. UX is not fast and it is not cheap. "So what's in it for me?" (says the CEO) One organization that has done a good job of putting together material that explains the importance of UX is Human Factors International [LINK] . They don't say anything that isn't said in plenty of other places, but they have a tendency to wrap it in a more management/CEO centric framework.

Anyway here is what I would focus on: Find out who are the key stakeholders in the company who are interested in user experience : This is really important as you would need the support of at least someone in senior management when you start pitching UX design processes and UX methodologies to a team who perhaps hasn't had exposure to them. Also understanding the key stakeholders helps you determine the weight your words will have and whom you need to influence to bring about potential change Understand the business process of the company a
