Title: Ask Better Questions - Perfecting Qualitative Inquiry for Deeper Understanding and Enhanced Design Outcomes
In-depth user understanding is central to tackling a design task, and while User Empathy can also be achieved within the design research process, much can learnt from the world of Marketing Research/Consumer Insights as well to add another dimension of understanding, especially from a commercial perspective that looks as "users" as "consumers".
In this session, students will be brought through the principles of Qualitative Research, key aspects of what make up a great interview guide when talking to consumers ("respondents" in a study), and try their hand at drafting a guide to immerse themselves in the process and apply what they have learnt.
At the end of the session, students will understand how to incorporate Market Research methodologies within  their Design practice, and have another tool to understand users in a more holistic manner.
