    Episode 18: Rohan Irvine Part 2: ReOps is Culture Change

    A gem from the second half of this episode where Rohan really gets into some discussion on changing organizations by making folks uncomfortable, "they always start off as research processes and every time I roll one of these out, you realize it is cultural change within the organization, it is connection, transparency, clarity, all of the things that are necessary for any company to be able to reach whatever the next level is that they've decided is the next level." Rohan really dives into how his methods show the effects that ResearchOps has in every piece of an organization and how positive change can revolutionize a team ready to grow or challenge a status quo afraid of the next stage.    Transcript available here

    Episode 16: Jacob Burghardt: Activating Insights to Overcome Common Barriers to Impact

    Join Brigette as she speaks with Jacob Burghardt about his experiences taking prior research and utilizing it to enact measurable and meaningful change on products and organizations. As research teams aggregate and synthesize research within research repositories, they eventually confront the reality that just because insights are more available, they are not guaranteed to have an impact on product. Some product people will become repository lead users – logging in from remote offices to stay connected to info about the people they are striving to serve. However, many decision-makers in evolving product organizations will become ‘distant’ from past research studies, and they will require new touch points with ‘old’ insights in order to shift their thinking and their roadmaps. Jacob will be speaking on this topic and ways to take your own previous work to new levels by showing its value across and outside of its original studies.    Read the transcript here.

    Episode 12: Carolyn Morgan: ResearchOps Toolbox

    A ResearchOps Toolbox: Today we have Dr Carolyn Morgan in an episode akin to 'Comedians in cars getting coffee'. Carolyn will be speaking at ReOpsConf2022 alongside Andy Garber-Browne about the ResearchOps Community's project on tools. Selecting the right research tool is hard. We wanted to make the tool evaluation and selection process easier and save hundreds of hours for researchers, ReOps specialists, and those who support research, by creating a database of tools according to what types of teams and industries use them. Learn all about the project, and what the team will deliver at the conference.
