Wine & Design Thinking - User Experience Research Panel - The DOs & DONTs of UX!

Big companies and sleek startups are hiring designers and developers like crazy to make sure their creations are both usable and innovative. But doing Design Thinking and getting innovation involves a variety of talent, and increasingly organizations are realizing they must also have researchers to get there.

But how do you work with researchers? How does anthropology, psychology, and ethnography fit into product design, development cycles, lean startups, and just business?!?!
