Last week, we wrapped Season 3 of our Awkward Silences podcast. Here are 3 themes we observed across our episodes: 1️⃣ Researchers are working to connect their work to the wider business: --> Strengthening and clarifying stakeholder relationships --> Upleveling business know-how, such as financials --> Investigating their org structures to uncover decision hierarchies 2️⃣ The "non-researcher" continues growing their research skills: --> PMs and designers are prioritizing foundational UXR knowledge --> The goal is "customer intuition" to help make better decisions --> Some insights beats none every time, especially for small teams 3️⃣ UXRs are adapting their toolkits for new technology: --> More are asking "How might I use..." in relation to AI --> Many are using freed time to sharpen core skills, like synthesis --> New tech is unlocking space to grow insight socialization, stickiness Our thanks to all of Season 3's guests for their time and insight: Caroline Morchio, Jonathan Widawski, Auzita I., Judd Antin, Dave Hora, Christiana Lackner, Tyler Wanlass, Claudia Natasia, Nadyne Richmond, Julian Della Mattia, Victoria Sakal 🏴, Lauren Stern, George Whitfield, Ruby Pryor, Jim Morris, and Bryan Dosono, PhD.

Ben Wiedmaier did a heckuva job going through all of our 🔥 episodes from this past season to extract the trends defining research today. (The second finding about non-researchers is an especially good read for all of my #design #product #marketing friends here)

📚 Resource Roundup: Participant/Customer Panels 👥 According to the 2024 State of User Research Report (see below), only 10% of #UX professionals surveyed report using an internal database when they need to recruit their own customers for research or feedback. That seems low, especially for a community known for creative solutions to ongoing bottlenecks or pain points. (I mean think of all the DIY templates!) Composing emails, contacting Success or Customer teams for names, and all that follow up and scheduling seems like it would force folks to find solutions. So I wanted to share some resources to get started thinking about building panels. #ReOps folks love panels. They're perfect not just for research, but things like insights communities and customer advisory boards. When it's easier to connect with users and customers, more learning happens and—as any UXR knows—decisions get better. The product improves. If you have time blocked for learning and are curious what it takes to build one of these panels (which saves time, helps scale insights, and offers control), check out the following articles. Hopefully they'll increase that 10%! What is a panel and how to build one ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/gBbCZTty How opt-in forms power panels ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/gNtn95qU How panels smooth research logistics ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/gcVDbt4r Why if you have brand fans, you have a panel-in-waiting ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/gBGQmBx3
