Workshop: Let's explore ResearchOps!


Details
Are you a user researcher? Ethnographer? Design Researcher? Do you coordinate or manage research activities for your organisation? ResearchOps is a new and fast-growing field focused on managing research at scale and reducing operational inefficiencies.
The global ResearchOps Community (https://medium.com/researchops-community) is now 500+ strong and growing. Since its creation, the Slack group (https://researchops.community/) has become a place for people from all walks of research and design life to exchange ideas, know-how, and, yes, frustrations, about the running of user research teams and projects. One of the most popular topics of conversation has centered around exploring what we mean by ‘ResearchOps’: what does it mean to operationalise research?
The ResearchOps Community is running a series of global workshops to:
- share knowledge and stories about how we’re doing research today
- give members an opportunity to express what we need and want from our community
- last but not least, create spaces for us to meet one another in-person!
The workshop is open to people with experience in operationalising user research, and to anyone else who is keen to take part and talk ResearchOps.
*** THIS WORKSHOP IS OPEN TO BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR PEOPLE ***
Some of the questions we’d like to explore are:
- what research operational challenges have you experienced?
- what are your operational successes, if any?
- where do you see opportunities to improve research operations in your organisation?
- what do you think ResearchOps includes?
- what should our Community do for its members?
If there are questions you’d like to explore in addition to these let us know and we’ll make time for them.
