This method is for you if….

  • You have people in your Organisation/Team who have little experience/doubts about the value of research 
  • You don’t have the resource for research internally in your Organisation/Team at the moment
  • You want to maximise the value of research around a specific topic/product/user group quickly

If you fall into any of the above categories, then this method is for you! 

Example business/strategic questions we have used this method on…

We work with you to shape and break these big juicy questions down into sub-research topics that we can learn and share about iteratively during each round of research.

Here is an example of this method in action:

Industry: Ecommerce, Womenswear

Client’s question:

How do we get our customers shopping with us for clothes more regularly?

What we did:

  • We shaped the above into a user centred question and then broke it down into a 5 month programme of work; which meant conducting 1 hour interviews with 10 people every month. 
  • We delivered bi-weekly reports of our findings and produced a MASTER USER JOURNEY MAP OF THE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE (ON AND OFFLINE)
  • Our research during this time covered the following topics:
    • UNDERSTAND; user needs, behaviours, problems
    • EXPLORE OPPORTUNITIES; centred around problem areas
    • IDEATE AND CREATE; developing and testing ideas as low fidelity prototypes
    • ASSESS AND DEVELOP; Validating ideas and building upon these based on users perceptions and feedback

Outcome:

  • This project became the bedrock for a brand new strategy for the business. It was the first time a strategy had been written in this way.
  • One of the ideas from this project was developed into an award winning app for the business.
  • Several new work streams were created off the back of this project, all of them were in response to unmet user needs which were highlighted in the master user journey map.
