Session Description

I’ll share the journey of how and why I stood up a research program that gets designers, engineers, product, and managers of all kinds to collaborate and ultimately lead (you read that right, lead) research. Call it what you will- Self-serve. Speed dating. Rapid research. Round robins. Lighting research. DIY. This program increased access to customer feedback for teams who don’t have a dedicated researcher or whose project questions are small in scale but high in impact. It lets us get *enough* feedback on multiple projects, at less cost, all in the same day. You'll learn how to build a sustainable program via these steps.

I’ll share the process step by step:

  1. Get the word out. Creatively.
  2. Empower teams & Set clear roles
  3. Select the *right* projects
  4. Create templates
  5. Train your people
  6. Recruit 
  7. Lights, Camera, Gong
  8. Sharing the learnings
