Customer and user research, focussing on #plainlanguage and the older market.

Well-briefed Execs on 6 figure salaries want #focusgroup respondents on $100 to be innovative on the spot? Don't make me laugh. The role of a focus group is to provide a place where people can talk about *your* topic in *their* own words. #newmr #amsrs #mrx
#MarketResearch has lots of shiny new techniques (implicit, neuro, etc.) but the #focusgroup is still relevant. A great moderator can do wonders to unearth new & compelling insights. #mrx #newmr cc @lennyism @LoveStats vox.com/the-goods/2019/1/22/…

Our latest bellbird newsletter - how has the pandemic affected retirement expectations and experiences: tinyurl.com/yywppxun
Completely agree. No need for ice-breakers when there is no ice
"The discussion starter therefore could and should be related to the contents that are taught or talked about." I very much agree. This is my approach in focus group discussions. Each participant introduces themselves by way of talking about some facet of a research question.
Risk minimisation when interviewing via online video software - researchnewslive.com.au/2020…
Listening to the recording of a conference presentation, the speaker (I won't name) said the true test of an insight is 'does your mum get it?'If not, you made it too complicated apparently. I am a mum, perfectly capable of understanding complex things, soon to be ex-customer.

Oh yes @Edward04. Happy to be the keyboard 🎤🎹. Looking forward to it!
Am honoured to be a rear-guard part of this gig, @herdmeister fronting up on lead vocals. Maybe @SueBellResearch is keyboard and @SiamackSalari on bass? Leaves drums for me ;)

I will be speaking about how we can use our experiences of a confusing and difficult event (you know the one I mean) to change how we interview. It is based on #sensemaking
We are excited to announce a brand new workshop: "The Future of Qualitative"! Join us on May 28 from 9am – Noon CT hear from prominent voices in #qualitative who will bring insight and perspective to move us through the challenges of 2020 and beyond. qrca.org/event/global-worksh…
It's interesting to examine how #rituals change and evolve as we navigate isolation for extended periods of time. This article was written by our assistant Heather, detailing how everyday rituals are helping her in these very abnormal times. ow.ly/M6KA50zkUao #mrx

My latest blogpost has just been posted. I argue that we just have to confront our obsessions with privacy when dealing with Covid-19 if we are going to move forward at this time and decide what really matters to us right now. blogs.ucl.ac.uk/assa/2020/04…
