Actionable Insights
Paul has the ability to see what is hiding in plain sight. He… validated ideas under consideration and provided new, actionable recommendations. The most valuable insight was illustrating how our issues were symptoms of an inefficient UX project team structure.
Unique Talent
Paul used his unique talent to help us pull together a business case… to implement a UX team here at the University of Oxford. During the process, Paul provided insight into the wider UX community and offered his personal recommendations on how best to present the opportunity to our Pro-Vice-Chancellor. This helped us develop a compelling business case and quickly secure funding for a UX team.
Demonstrates his prowess
As we talk, a pronounced pattern in Boag’s patter becomes apparent: he enthuses… about a topic, demonstrates his prowess and then knocks himself down with a swipe of self-deprecation.
Smart & Generous
Paul is one of the smartest, most passionate, most generous people I know… in the web / online industry. He is truly committed to helping organizations become simpler and more customer-centric.
Actionable Insights
Paul has the ability to see what is hiding in plain sight. He… validated ideas under consideration and provided new, actionable recommendations. The most valuable insight was illustrating how our issues were symptoms of an inefficient UX project team structure.
An inspiration
Paul is an inspiration, I only wish I’d worked with him earlier in… my career. His ability to understand and break down problems and offer advice, drawing on his many years of experience is unrivalled. He genuinely wants to get the best out of you and your organisation and you can’t ask for more than that.
Invaluable
Medecins San Frontieres, being a decentralised international association, faces challenges in meeting the… needs of a diverse global audience. Paul and the team at Headscape have been invaluable in helping us see the potential of digital for doing this. They have helped us recognize the changes needed to engage with our connected audiences, bringing clarity and innovation to our digital strategy.
Supportive and Challenging
It’s been a pleasure working with Paul. He manages to be both supportive… and challenging at the same time and has a very accessible approach. It’s been a really inspiring process and I would love the opportunity to work with him again.
Entertainingly Informative
We can count on Paul to be entertainingly informative. When we bring him… to speak at our workshops, people walk out of the session energized and with a better understanding of how a multichannel journey should be assessed and optimized. Thanks Paul!
Best investment
You’re the best investment I’ve made thus far in my business, and that… includes a previous coach, paid mentors and many courses! Your expertise is absolutely invaluable. Thank you!
