HUMAN DATA!
IT’S THE DATA THAT MAKES US UNIQUELY HUMAN…
“The problem is, no customer experience technology
platform, by itself, can provide deep insights into why
customers do what they do. These systems can track an
infinite number of transactions, but they can't identify the key
actions the company must take to gain more fully engaged
customers.”

Quantitative Customer Experience Metrics
Aren't Enough
“Investing in user research is just about the only way to
consistently generate a rich stream of data about
customer needs and behaviors. As a designer, I can’t
live without it. And as data about customers flows
through your team, it informs product managers,
engineers, and just about everyone else. It forms the
foundation of intuitive designs, indispensable products,
and successful companies. So what are you waiting for?
Go listen to your customers!”
A devices company needed a disruptor.

All because of the Babysitter.
An Airline needed operational efficiency.

I’m sure he meets with lots of people, but if — this is kind of a unique situation, so I feel like if I were a salesperson, I would have remembered her two days later. And, when I called in and
said, you know, “My grandmother, Rosemary Woods, was in talking with you for two hours on Tuesday, the day before yesterday” — he didn’t know who I was talking about… I’m sure
everyone gets busy. I mean, I get busy at work. But, you’re checked in at some point or at least pretending to be checked in when you’re dealing with a customer.

How we used design research to launch 

The New York Times en Español
Our field work in Mexico City last year laid the foundation for the
work that followed. The time “in the field” was a chance to learn
directly from news readers and generate insights that would
support our product and editorial strategies. We also followed
our field research with ongoing, iterative quantitative research.
From my perspective as a design researcher, this has been a
remarkable opportunity to incorporate ethnographic research
methods and data science to uncover rich and actionable
insights.
The Case for Talking to Users in the Age of Big Data
“Observing users in person provides you with data that
surveys and behavioral data simply can’t, just as surveys
and behavioral metrics provide you with data and reliability
that qualitative work can’t. You need both— and you need to
do both well”

GREAT DIGITAL EXPERIENCE!
Thanks!You’ve been awesome!
“We scientists love to sit at our computers and use climate
models to make those predictions,” said Laurence C. Smith, head
of the geography department at the University of California, Los
Angeles, and the leader of the team that worked in Greenland
this summer.
“But to really know what’s happening, that kind of understanding
can only come about through empirical measurements in the
field.”

And, when I called in and said, you know, “My grandmother, Rosemary Woods, was in talking with you for two hours on Tuesday, the day before yesterday” — he didn’t know who I was talking about… I’m sure everyone gets busy.

 my financing options Calculating how much house and mortgage payments I can afford Preparing to qualify for a loan and checking credit score Saving money and deciding on a downpayment Casually browsing houses Picking a neighborhood Selecting & working with a real 
 estate agent Searching for a 
 good house to buy Calculating all potential costs — including closing costs, repairs, etc. Researching & selecting best mortgage options Selecting a

 house inspection Lender conducts 
 a home appraisal Getting a home insurance quote Continuing to 
 work with my lender/ underwriter Receiving my 
 final loan approval Signing the 
 loan documents Attending closing and becoming a homeowner Move into my new house Moving for work or family Pays attention to the market but sees it as subjective Buys when it’s convenient for him Feels knowledgable from previous home purchasing and refinancing Casually follows housing market investment news Uses mortgage calculators to confirm what he already knows Has a solid grasp on his budget and target mortgage payment Doesn’t expect to be surprised Knows his credit score is typically excellent Occasionally checks it online for unknown circumstances (parking tickets, Target breach, etc.) Will put down 20% to avoid paying PMI Enjoys browsing houses on his phone during commute Looks at listings when driving around, but tires at the thought of seeing too many houses Looking for ease of commute and lifestyle Delighted by on-site community activities (i.e. golf course in a planned community) Expects agent to provide a competitive advantage Looking for a new home with no renovation needs and little to no yard work Irritated that house hunting is a part-time job Prepared and willing to negotiate the best deal Anxious about exploring financing options even though he is financially stable Looks for easiest option with a decent rate, often his current bank Would consider a different lender if recommended by agent or a trusted friend Goes to current bank to request pre- approval letter Expects to qualify for loan with 20% down Has savings and investments including 20% downpayment on hand Follows his agent’s lead in negotiating and home buying Sleeps on the ideas, then acts decisively Expects his real estate agent to keep him in the loop Researches value of house and works with agent to prepare a counter-offer Prepared to execute Plan B Expects to counter if necessary Makes the decisions but realtor negotiates based on his direction Documents are a bit scattered— at home, at work, on his computer Assumes he will need to interact with lender at a branch Expects lender to be disorganized and make same request more than once Has nothing to hide but feels like the process is subtly accusatory Resigned to delays and calls not returned Expects things to go well in the long run but does not appreciate lack of responsiveness Expects to negotiate based on inspection but also does not want to lose house at this point This to be in the lender’s hands Assumes appraised value will be as expected Dumbfounded when asked for additional paperwork No time to review documents ahead of time Places his trust in the professionals Believes there is a chance he will still be asked for more paperwork Wants to attend closing in person for physicality of getting the key Feels pride in being a homeowner Sees buying a home as a life milestone Needs purchase to coincide with current lease Views the market as good and is encouraged to buy Asks her mortgage broker when she gets stuck Watches popular financial advisors on TV and Googles for home buying info Finds this far more complicated than expected A bit disappointed by the houses she can afford versus the house she wants Does calculations with lender and also uses online calculators Takes between six months and two years to pay off credit cards and save money Budgets and tracks savings with partner Plans for closing costs and any additional expenses Spends time browsing homes she can't afford Stays in this stage while saving and repairing credit Considers school districts and commute time when looking at houses Uses Google Maps to discern safety of neighborhood Some don't call her back because she is not a ‘serious’ candidate Finds agents from banner ads on Zillow Finding perfect house would be the catalyst for enduring the loan process Obsesses over details to ensure accurate numbers Sees this as labor intensive and doesn’t have time to do this Googles info on mortgages until stressed out — then stops Needs to tell personal story to a lender More likely to go with small bank than big bank Would rather the lender deny her quickly An ongoing task Expects the real estate agent to facilitate this Getting organized is a big task She wants to trust lender’s guidance Not hearing from the lender causes panic Afraid to get my hopes up Wishes to be able to be excited at this point Trusts real estate agent with ‘the fine print’ of the home inspection Thinks appraisal is the real estate agent’s job This is a celebration Wants a home to make their own and to stop paying someone else’s mortgage Sees a quickly closing window on a ‘buyers market’ Wants to learn the pertinent, relevant facts and steps at their own pace Would prefer to get accurate numbers on their own because the lender can seem like a used car salesman Does calculations on a basic spreadsheet and wants to know from the lender what the real numbers are Have been preparing/ repairing credit for awhile now and feels financially prepared In high savings and budgeting mode Financially planning for other things, like weddings and kids Browses homes within price range Wants the walkability, parks, etc. of urban areas but school districts and affordability of suburban areas Finds agent like they find anything else: Google and gut instinct Balancing ideal home with solid financial investment Search homes on their own and then contact an agent Works with the realtor and/or lender to understand costs Shops around for loans and programs Doesn’t know what the best fit is or what they qualify for Will use lender suggested by their real estate agent or current bank Wants realistic expectations and honest feedback Finds property first and then calls lender for pre-approval Small credit repairs are made Feels ready to buy Does this methodically Approaches application by making many detailed lists Wants to know what they need to know and that’s all !Wishes this could be on their own schedule and not only accomplished while at work Feels neglected and wants to know where they stand Wants this to be in their hands and for it to happen more quickly Relies on lender to explain home insurance Anxious to know status of loan Sends additional paperwork through lender Wants to

 work with my lender/ underwriter Receiving my 
 final loan approval Signing the 
 loan documents Attending closing and becoming a homeowner Move into my new house Moving for work or family Pays attention to the market but sees it as subjective Buys when it’s convenient for him Feels knowledgable from previous home purchasing and refinancing Casually follows housing market investment news Uses mortgage calculators to confirm what he already knows Has a solid grasp on his budget and target mortgage payment Doesn’t expect to be surprised Knows his credit score is typically excellent Occasionally checks it online for unknown circumstances (parking tickets, Target breach, etc.) Will put down 20% to avoid paying PMI Enjoys browsing houses on his phone during commute Looks at listings when driving around, but tires at the thought of seeing too many houses Looking for ease of commute and lifestyle Delighted by on-site community activities (i.e. golf course in a planned community) Expects agent to provide a competitive advantage Looking for a new home with no renovation needs and little to no yard work Irritated that house hunting is a part-time job Prepared and willing to negotiate the best deal Anxious about exploring financing options even though he is financially stable Looks for easiest option with a decent rate, often his current bank Would consider a different lender if recommended by agent or a trusted friend Goes to current bank to request pre- approval letter Expects to qualify for loan with 20% down Has savings and investments including 20% downpayment on hand Follows his agent’s lead in negotiating and home buying Sleeps on the ideas, then acts decisively Expects his real estate agent to keep him in the loop Researches value of house and works with agent to prepare a counter-offer Prepared to execute Plan B Expects to counter if necessary Makes the decisions but realtor negotiates based on his direction Documents are a bit scattered— at home, at work, on his computer Assumes he will need to interact with lender at a branch Expects lender to be disorganized and make same request more than once Has nothing to hide but feels like the process is subtly accusatory Resigned to delays and calls not returned Expects things to go well in the long run but does not appreciate lack of responsiveness Expects to negotiate based on inspection but also does not want to lose house at this point This to be in the lender’s hands Assumes appraised value will be as expected Dumbfounded when asked for additional paperwork No time to review documents ahead of time Places his trust in the professionals Believes there is a chance he will still be asked for more paperwork Wants to attend closing in person for physicality of getting the key Feels pride in being a homeowner Sees buying a home as a life milestone Needs purchase to coincide with current lease Views the market as good and is encouraged to buy Asks her mortgage broker when she gets stuck Watches popular financial advisors on TV and Googles for home buying info Finds this far more complicated than expected A bit disappointed by the houses she can afford versus the house she wants Does calculations with lender and also uses online calculators Takes between six months and two years to pay off credit cards and save money Budgets and tracks savings with partner Plans for closing costs and any additional expenses Spends time browsing homes she can't afford Stays in this stage while saving and repairing credit Considers school districts and commute time when looking at houses Uses Google Maps to discern safety of neighborhood Some don't call her back because she is not a ‘serious’ candidate Finds agents from banner ads on Zillow Finding perfect house would be the catalyst for enduring the loan process Obsesses over details to ensure accurate numbers Sees this as labor intensive and doesn’t have time to do this Googles info on mortgages until stressed out — then stops Needs to tell personal story to a lender More likely to go with small bank than big bank Would rather the lender deny her quickly An ongoing task Expects the real estate agent to facilitate this Getting organized is a big task She wants to trust lender’s guidance Not hearing from the lender causes panic Afraid to get my hopes up Wishes to be able to be excited at this point Trusts real estate agent with ‘the fine print’ of the home inspection Thinks appraisal is the real estate agent’s job This is a celebration Wants a home to make their own and to stop paying someone else’s mortgage Sees a quickly closing window on a ‘buyers market’ Wants to learn the pertinent, relevant facts and steps at their own pace Would prefer to get accurate numbers on their own because the lender can seem like a used car salesman Does calculations on a basic spreadsheet and wants to know from the lender what the real numbers are Have been preparing/ repairing credit for awhile now and feels financially prepared In high savings and budgeting mode Financially planning for other things, like weddings and kids Browses homes within price range Wants the walkability, parks, etc. of urban areas but school districts and affordability of suburban areas Finds agent like they find anything else: Google and gut instinct Balancing ideal home with solid financial investment Search homes on their own and then contact an agent Works with the realtor and/or lender to understand costs Shops around for loans and programs Doesn’t know what the best fit is or what they qualify for Will use lender suggested by their real estate agent or current bank Wants realistic expectations and honest feedback Finds property first and then calls lender for pre-approval Small credit repairs are made Feels ready to buy Does this methodically Approaches application by making many detailed lists Wants to know what they need to know and that’s all !Wishes this could be on their own schedule and not only accomplished while at work Feels neglected and wants to know where they stand Wants this to be in their hands and for it to happen more quickly Relies on lender to explain home insurance Anxious to know status of loan Sends additional paperwork through lender Wants to hear about loan approval from a person Such relief and joy This is a memorable finish line moment Sees real estate as good investment in an unsteady job economy Pays close attention to the market — as

 The New York Times en Español Our field work in Mexico City last year laid the foundation for the work that followed. The time “in the field” was a chance to learn directly from news readers and generate insights that would support our product and editorial strategies. We also followed our field research with ongoing, iterative quantitative research. From my perspective as a design researcher, this has been a remarkable opportunity to incorporate ethnographic research methods and data science to uncover rich and actionable insights.
