Course overview
You might call generative research discovery, exploratory, behavioral, or early user research. You might call evaluative research usability testing, user testing, or experimentation on a prototype.
Qualitative research can be broken into seven main phases, each with multiple tasks:
* Planning/goals/strategy
* Protocol/script/guide
* Recruiting
* Execution
* Analysis and synthesis
* Insights and actionable suggestions (reporting)
* Additional artifacts.
This course covers the first three. You'll learn how to start collaborating with teammates and stakeholders to learn what we need to learn. 😊 What are the guesses, assumptions, and unknowns?
Next, we'll put our strategy hats on to consider which research method(s) will best answer open questions. How many participants and what types of people will we need? Where will we find them? Will we pay them for their time?
We'll look at good and bad questions and tasks, and how to avoid common research mistakes that can lead to a flawed or invalid study. Which deliverables and artifacts should we create?
We'll also step into a little project management by learning how to estimate and plan your study. You'll also calculate and communicate the study's budget.
Learn how to deal with stakeholders with unreasonable requests, too many research requests, crappy questions they want you to ask, and other "ambiguities."
Each week, you will work on the plan for a sample or real research project. You'll get personal instructor feedback, and hopefully some feedback from others in the cohort as well.
This course is also available as live corporate training, on-site or remote. It can also be customized for your needs and teams. Contact me to learn more https://customercentricity.com/contact

Debbie Levitt, MBA, is the CXO of Delta CX, and since the mid-1990s has been a CX and UX consultant focused on strategy, research, training, and Human-Centered Design/User-Centered Design. She’s a change agent and business design consultant focused on helping companies of all sizes transform towards customer-centricity while using principles of Agile and Lean.
Clients have given her the nickname, “Mary Poppins,” because she flies in, improves everything she can, sings a few songs, and flies away to her next adventure.
Her new book, “Customers Know You Suck,” (2022) is the customer-centricity how-to manual. Start investigating what’s holding you back from improving customer-centricity. Learn how to be value-led: how much value we can frequently create for potential and current customers.
She has worked in various CX and UX leadership and individual contributor roles at companies including Wells Fargo, Macy’s, StepStone, Sony Mobile, and Constant Contact. In the 2010s, San Francisco UX and marketing agencies had Debbie on speed dial. She completed projects for Traction, Fjord, LIFT, Rauxa, ROI·DNA, and Fiddlehead.
Outside of CX work, and sometimes during CX work, Debbie enjoys singing symphonic prog goth metal, opera, and New Wave. You can also catch her on the CX-CC YouTube channel.
