Presenting research is more than delivering analyzed data. The value of our work as ethnographers in industry is limited by whether or not clients and stakeholders act on our learnings and recommendations. In order to ensure that we are heard and understood by decision makers, we need to understand them and outcomes they care about so we can frame both how and what we deliver.
In this talk, Alex will help you strategize around how to present research for impact by:
- Knowing your audience
- Framing your intended outcome
- Articulating your key message
