Establishing a research program & product design process with Ontada. 

CASE STUDY

The Question 

How do we implement a scalable framework for effective user research to meet customer needs and drive great experiences?

The Process 

We served as a catalyst for Ontada’s research efforts by partnering with their product team, engineers and designers. This work ran parallel with a new product launch, the Health Administration Portal, that needed data-informed design. 

What began with research evolved into a custom framework for a product design process with a focus on alignment. 

Through formal and informal education including teaching demos, delivering presentations, participating in design critiques and team meetings, and providing continuous feedback about processes, we established a sustainable research process.
