- With all the focus on big data and analytics, we know that decision makers need qualitative now more than ever to find meaning within their metrics. But qualitative is increasingly challenged in a research world dominated by large data sets and continuing DIY trends. In this presentation, cultural anthropologist Paitra Russell, UX researcher Mary Sorber, and design strategist Joeffrey Trimmingham explore approaches that qualitative researchers can use to speak to the issue of quality. This includes effective strategies for communicating trustworthiness and generating output that you and your clients can defend. We will also cover ways to address quality from the beginning to the end of the engagement. We will draw on our own experiences and primary research with quallies and clients to deliver a view of what it takes to get qualitative to the point where trustworthiness is not questioned.

- I find many qualitative firms do not do qualitative research on themselves. Specifically, in marketing they take the shotgun approach and do a little of this, a little of that. Rarely do they start their own efforts with qualitative work to inform their marketing strategy and scale up revenue.

- 50 users. 75 hours of recorded interviews. 1250 pages of transcripts. Sometimes a post note analysis just doesn’t cut it. When shifting through tons of interviews and focus group data, using a playbook or codebook can be a helpful tool to systematically organize user data into data-driven insights. In this talk, Rachel will introduce you to a powerful analytical method for documenting research data and decisions in a way that is transparent, reflexive, and rigorous for you and your team.

- The Emeritus SIG is thrilled to propose a panel presentation and discussion for the Virtual track of the annual QRCA Conference. Our diverse panel of five is comprised of long-standing legacy members of QRCA and perhaps lesser-known qualitative experts. Panelists are: Jim Bryson, Ellen Good, JR Harris, Judy Langer, and Bonnie Perry. They embody a range of exciting and diverse paths: wilderness trekker/ author/speaker, health and life insurance broker/educator, an adjunct professor at Wharton, a docent with the Holocaust Museum Houston, the Executive Director of the Center for Learning and Living, the Tennessee Deputy Commissioner of the Bureau of Parks & Conservation. Each panelist has a unique story to tell of how they used skills cultivated during their career as a QRC, their personal vision and fortitude to create satisfying new endeavors with or without remuneration. Their journeys have not been seamless; there have been challenges, learning and re-directs along the way.

- Qualitative researchers are a powerhouse of knowledge and perspectives. Imagine what we could accomplish if we put our heads together to face the next move forward in the social justice movement! How might we better pitch inclusive research? How might we pull from our collective knowledge and wisdom to elevate the conversation and activate change? In this highly interactive, facilitated session we will tap into the diversity of our collective thought to ideate on ways qualitative researchers can continue to act. We will introduce the virtual “room” to trusted facilitation tools (micro structures) that allow all stories to emerge in a respectful, open, conversational way, using human centered design principles applied in design thinking and education to gather new ideas and data.

- In research, we can feel caught in the tension between achieving research objectives we have been tasked with, while also staying present with respondents and listening in the moment. We are charged with taking in what those we are interviewing have to say, without jumping ahead to premature conclusions or assumptions. It can become a balance of driving to an objective or conclusion, while also allowing the information to come to us authentically. Taking time to discover new ways of thinking about how we can best prepare for this important role of listening and receiving data from a neutral mindset can lead to more clarity in our analysis.

- Let's figure this out. Let's finally make sure that we are using the right language when thinking about how to design user experience and market research. These two disciplines have become siloed from one another. Janet Standen and Michele Ronsen want to lead a discussion about how we can encourage them to come together by better understanding each other's language and acronyms.

- What if we turned the tables on traditional research? What if we let the respondents in on the fact that we are doing research while keeping that fact from everyone else participating in a real life experience? It’s a bit like having the subject of a picture in fine resolutions and the background being very faded out. But we are studying the impact of the background on the foreground. So we don’t wash out the background, we are focusing on it at the same time. I’ve used these techniques for years and they are particularly entertaining for me. And valuable for my clients. I’ll share examples from a study in the restaurant industry and in retail.
