Description
Whether you're starting from scratch or rebuilding after a reset, establishing a UX research practice is a different challenge than doing the research itself. In this session, we’ll explore what actually worked — and what didn’t.
 
We’ll focus on questions practitioners are navigating right now:
 
  • What’s the single most important thing you did first?
  • How do you keep momentum and excitement alive when research is new and still proving itself?
  • Participant recruiting is a persistent challenge. How have you made it work with little to no incentive?
     
Bring your war stories. This session is built as a real conversation.

After the session is over, we’ll continue the conversation on our #ux Slack channel. All members are welcome to join the Digital Collegium Slack Workspace.
