What do I mean by title styleClick to edit Master “research?” • Ethnography • Ethnographic interviews • Video ethnography • In-depth interviews • Contextual research • Home visits • Site visits • Experience modeling • Design research • User research • User-centered design • One-on-ones • Camera studies • User safaris • GroupsInsight Inspired Innovation ‹#› Portigal

Beyond our Master title styleClick to edit terminology, what are we doing? • Examine people in their own context • What are they doing? • What does it mean? • Infer (interpret/synthesize/etc.) • Find the connections • The researcher is the “apparatus” • Apply to business or design problems • Use products, services, packaging, design to tell the right story • More possible types of solutions than we started out withInsight Inspired Innovation ‹#› Portigal

Ask people Master title styleClick to edit how they would solve a problemParticipatory design Engage people in the non-literal –Doesn’t mean we implement the through games and role-playing requested solution literally Uncover underlying principles and –“I wish it had a handle” explore areas of opportunity that don’t –Many ways to solve the underlying yet exist need (“I need to move it around”) –Designers work with this data to generate alternativesInsight Inspired Innovation ‹#› Portigal

Show people a solutionClick to edit Master title style• Consider the difference between testing and exploring –Avoid “Do you like this?” –Don’t show your best guess at a solution; instead identify provocative examples to surface hidden desires and expectations• Make sure you are asking the right Image from Roberto and Worth1000.com questions –What does this solution enable? What problems does it solve? –Especially for new products, needed before getting into specifics of your implementationInsight Inspired Innovation ‹#› Portigal
