Course overview

Explore how AI fits into research to create meaningful, actionable insights

What if your research could unlock empathy and actionable insights... instantly?


Let’s start here: “I don’t have the time or resources for proper research.”


In fast-moving industries, where leaders juggle competing priorities, research often takes a back seat. Yet, without it, we’re left guessing; missing the real needs of our customers, users, and stakeholders.


What if research wasn’t a burden but a strategic advantage? What if it didn’t just provide data but created clarity, inspired innovation, and drove smarter decisions?


This course is for business leaders and innovators in any industry, who want to elevate their decision-making with human-centered research—not as an extra step, but as a seamless, integrated part of their work.


And, to do this efficiently, we’ll explore how AI can become your partner in research, amplifying your ability to uncover patterns, synthesize data, and generate actionable insights.



Why does this matter?


Customer insights aren’t a “nice-to-have.” They are critical to creating meaningful experiences, solving complex challenges, and driving growth.


Without structured research, businesses risk making assumptions instead of uncovering opportunities. They risk designing for themselves instead of their customers.


But here’s the exciting part: with today’s AI tools, research is no longer slow, expensive, or exclusive.


What will you get from this course?



This course is a hands-on journey through the essentials of human-centered research, focusing on interviews and synthesis while integrating AI at every step. You’ll learn to conduct compelling interviews, build research walls to uncover patterns, and use AI to turn raw data into strategic actions.


Each session is carefully crafted to provide immediate takeaways you can apply on day two. This isn’t just about learning the theory—it’s about building practical skills that transform the way you lead, create, and innovate.
