1 Define your goals and scope

Before you start your design research, you need to have a clear and shared understanding of what you want to achieve, why, and how. You need to align your goals and scope with your team members and stakeholders, and make sure everyone is on the same page. You can use tools like project briefs, research questions, or problem statements to define your objectives, scope, and constraints. You can also use frameworks like SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) or OKR (Objectives and Key Results) to set and track your goals.

2 Choose your methods and tools

Depending on your goals and scope, you need to select the most appropriate methods and tools for your design research. You can use a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, such as interviews, surveys, observations, experiments, or usability tests, to collect data from your users. You can also use tools like personas, journey maps, empathy maps, or affinity diagrams, to organize and visualize your data. You need to consider the advantages and disadvantages of each method and tool, and how they fit your context, budget, and timeline. You also need to plan how you will recruit, engage, and reward your participants, and how you will document and store your data.

3 Involve your team and stakeholders

Design research is not a solo activity. You need to involve your team members and stakeholders in every stage of your design research, from planning to execution to analysis. You need to communicate your goals, methods, and tools clearly and frequently, and solicit feedback and input from them. You also need to create opportunities for collaboration and co-creation, such as workshops, brainstorming sessions, or prototyping sessions, where you can share your data, insights, and ideas with them. You need to foster a culture of empathy, curiosity, and openness, where everyone can contribute and learn from each other.

In my experience, customer research is as powerful as the team collectively allows it to become. Contrary to what it might seem to many, research is a team sport. It requires skill and experience to be well led, but also a very clear and relatable articulation of intent. And it might benefit enormously from collaborative observations of behaviours, consideration of perspectives, and iterative co-creation of meaningful insights. Design thinking - and design research for that matter - is not a designer's job, but it is for everyone. The more we create space for the diverse members in a team to get involved with customer insight, the better the team's ability to keep customer needs and expectations at the centre of the design decisions.

4 Analyze and synthesize your data

After you collect your data, you need to analyze and synthesize it to identify user needs and pain points. You need to look for patterns, themes, gaps, and contradictions in your data, and use them to generate insights and opportunities. You can use techniques like coding, sorting, clustering, or mapping to organize and interpret your data. You can also use tools like how might we questions, problem statements, or opportunity areas to frame your insights and opportunities. You need to validate your assumptions and hypotheses with your data, and avoid bias and generalization.

5 Communicate your findings and recommendations

The final step of your design research is to communicate your findings and recommendations to your team members, stakeholders, and users. You need to create a compelling and concise report or presentation that summarizes your goals, methods, data, insights, and opportunities, and provides clear and actionable recommendations for your next steps. You can use tools like stories, scenarios, sketches, or prototypes to illustrate your findings and recommendations. You also need to use data visualization, such as charts, graphs, or images, to support your arguments and evidence. You need to tailor your communication style and format to your audience, and invite feedback and questions from them.

When possible, it is great to show your findings is to write articles and publish them in platforms like this one or medium for example. Other people in the topic will for sure reach out, and can create further opportunities.
