Truly Informed UX Using Actionable Insight
summary
A global study of 1,000 research buyers and practitioners across nine markets finds only 15% actionable insights overall and 12% for experience teams, with 75% of research run at large scale and only 4% doing regular small‑scale research. Recommendations: split discovery into micro insights, reserve budget for later validation, run short recurring sessions or WhatsApp panels, use behavior data first, and apply AI to automate transcription and coding so humans focus on analysis and decision‑ready recommendations.
