Let's Play Sesame Street

Embrace the power of asking questions — a session on strategic questioning in design research, and why the right question does more for understanding users than another round of answers.

Venue
UX Cologne meetup (#UXCGN8, Imperia)
Year
2014

Context

Design research defaults to gathering more answers — another interview, another data point — when the actual bottleneck is often the quality of the questions being asked in the first place.

The argument

Strategic questioning as its own skill: knowing what to ask, of whom, and when, to understand the environment a product actually has to work in — before reaching for another research method. Given at UX Cologne's meetup (#UXCGN8), Imperia, 2014.
