How do you ensure the research you’re doing is truly impactful? When stakeholders approach you with research requests, or when you’re prioritizing your research efforts, Brad Orego, Head of Research at Webflow, recommends asking these 4 key questions: 👉 Why are we doing this? / What’s the context? 👉 What are we hoping to learn? 👉 What are our research objectives and goals? 👉 What decisions will be made based on this research? The last question helps ensure your research will lead to meaningful actions like: 💡 Informing product development 💡 Driving key business metrics (KPIs) 💡 Guiding strategic decisions If you can’t get clear answers to these questions, Brad says: “Don’t do the research – you have other important things to focus on.” 🔥 Get more tips and insights into how to build a high-impact research practice at the link in the comments. #research #researchops #userresearch #uxr #uxresearch #ux #researcher #reops #researchoperations #operations #ops
