“Jim Kalbach is an excellent trainer of experience mapping and alignment diagramming. He shared his knowledge and experience with a complex and multifaceted topic and distilled it down to a manageable and usable set of steps that are just as relevant to many areas of business as they are to UX. The hands-on activities, along with Jim’s coaching, made the experience mapping and alignment diagramming class a valuable experience that will have true impact on my work and my organization’s view of alignment.” – Brian Kuchta, Year Up
