Research

Climb the right hills

Get Indi’s help to map out the problem space around you intend to support, and focus on opportunity areas with the most impact.

LET’S GET IN TOUCH

Strategic Impact Research

We can help your teams transform their intent into strategic impact. Here are a few ways in which teams use opportunity maps:

1. Gap Analysis

The difference between approaches and your orgs capabilities

2. Risk mitigation

Verify that solutions are aligned to people

3. Diversification

More closely align design possibilities to the nuances of the different thinking styles

4. Consolidation

Consolidate existing research into one overview

5. Consensus building

Clarify positioning and prioritization

6. Content strategy

Content mapping of a proposed solution

7. Untapped opportunities

Widen knowledge of the possibilities in the problem space

8. Stronger Metrics

Tune your metrics to how well you support a thinking style, per tower in the mental model diagram.

How we build opportunity maps

Each time we conduct a study, it includes 5 participants per behavioral audience segment, focused on a certain purpose. You can start small and aggregate over time. We begin the engagement with a discussion of the scope of research, to make sure we frame it in a non-solution-focused manner. Then we go conduct the research, giving you updates each Monday as work proceeds. We can give you transcripts of the listening sessions about halfway through, and then we deliver the mental model diagram and/or the behavioral audience segments, depending on what you’re after. We conclude with collaborative working sessions where we discuss insights, actions, and next steps with you and your stakeholders.
