What do IKEA instructions and Grandma’s favorite muffin recipe have to do with design research? Well, a lot! Design research is best implemented following a set of guidelines and rules. Now, this is where Grandma’s muffins and IKEA instructions differ from design research. It doesn’t have to be prescriptive! It can and should be altered to fit your business. But please, don’t mess with the IKEA instructions. Those are to be followed. See how the 5E Framework can help your business. https://hubs.ly/Q02jH1Zg0 #conifer #designresearch #qualitative #efficiency #successdriven #chicago

Anyone who is seriously interested in innovation and change knows that ignoring complexity is the fastest route to failure. We’ve spent over 20 years pioneering new ways to generate long-term value from ethnographic research, and in that time, we’ve become very close with complexity. In fact, we’re having complexity over for coffee later today! Learn more about what we do: https://hubs.ly/Q01Q5W3V0 #conifer #successdriven #innovation #qualitativeresearch

Not all who wander are lost, but as researchers, if we don’t understand what all the wandering is about, it’s tough to build a strategy around it. Getting to the heart of the consumer experience is key to moving a brand forward. Understand your customer’s wandering by breaking down the entire user experience: https://hubs.ly/Q02nBJtm0 #conifer #mrx #innovation #userexperience #collaboration

There was once a time when Chicago was the fastest-growing city in the world. …But with more people comes more 💩 The solution for this stinky situation? Turn the river right around. That’s right! The Chicago River originally flowed into Lake Michigan, taking the city’s waste with it and causing quite a smelly pileup. To save the city and get the waste flowing out of town, the river’s flow was corrected to flow toward the Mississippi River, where it still flows today. How stinkin’ cool! #coniferresearch #conifer #chicago #illinois #windycity

No Allen wrench required. https://hubs.ly/Q02dfWWw0 #conifer #designresearch #qualitative #quantitative #successdriven #chicago
