Is there a deep, thorough knowledge — across your organization — of what users need?

Is user research the first thing cut from a project because it’s seen as a luxury and not strategically important?

Guide your organization to make smart choices

UX leaders often talk about the importance of “having a seat at the table.” However, what’s more important is what we bring to the table.

Right now, your organization faces some critical decisions. Decisions that will determine if the future is easy or extremely difficult. Decisions that will choose the best way to focus limited resources. If made right, decisions will delight your users and customers, or, if made wrong, will completely frustrate those customers and cost the organization money and reputation.

When important decisions have to be made, do we have the data and insights to guide the decision-makers to the best choices? This is the product of great user research. It’s the superpower that UX leaders just like you can bring to the table.

Spend the week of September 13th discovering what your UX research efforts truly need. Put together a plan that makes your UX team strategic, influential, and innovative.

This is hard work. Making big changes happen is never easy. Are you up for the challenge?

Don’t worry. You won’t do the work in a vacuum. We’ll support you.

Bring your work to each of our Implementation and Inspiration Sessions. Discuss your choices with Jared and get insights on your path to success.

Wednesday, Sept 15

Advanced UX Research is a team sport. Bring your team.

This Intensive is, well, intense. It’s dense with new information and ways of thinking about UX Research.

You could try to relay the information back to your team, but why play the middle-person?

Instead, bring your entire team (and your management) and get exposed to all these great ideas at the same time. Work on the assignments together. Plan the critical changes you’ll need as a team.

We guarantee that every session will spur great discussions. You’ll be itching to make immediate changes, even before the Intensive ends.
