When it comes to securing funding and support for your research efforts, one of the most practical strategies is simple but powerful: follow the money. Kate Towsey put it perfectly—look at where your organization is already investing. Just like personal priorities can be revealed by spending habits, organizational priorities are reflected in budgets. Here are some tips to align with those priorities and secure buy-in: ?? Identify where the company is allocating resources. Whether it's product development, customer success, or sales, investments reveal what leadership values most. ?? Helping revenue-generating teams achieve their goals—whether through customer insights, persona development, or market research—can be an easy "yes" for funding and support. ?? Once you’ve secured funding for aligned initiatives, you can advocate for more exploratory research efforts as "added value." ?? Speak the language of the business. Frame your research needs in terms of outcomes that matter to leadership. Ultimately, by showing how research directly supports what the business values most, you position it as indispensable.

At UXDX EMEA 2024, we explored a powerful idea: applying UX principles to developer workflows can transform productivity—for engineers, but also across UX research, design, and product management, helping these functions work together seamlessly to drive better outcomes. Our Head of Growth, Harri Thomas and ThoughtWorks' Head of Engineering Platforms, Max Griffiths discussed how data can unlock significant efficiencies across the organization. There’s likely untapped data already available to help identify friction points, reduce rework, and align team efforts. Start by leveraging the data that’s already at your fingertips. Look at how your team collaborates, where value is created (or lost), and how that information can be shared to optimize cross-functional collaboration. Check out the full conversation at the link below to dive deeper into the remaining UX principles, and how they can be applied to the world of engineering.
