Podcast
We recently had a fantastic chat with Krutika Subramanian, a seasoned leader in the UX research world. Her insights made us think, “We can definitely do better!” When she talked about cross-functional collaboration, we couldn’t help but nod along, thinking, “This is exactly what we need!”

Collaboration is where the magic happens – it’s the key to transforming our research and enhancing our products. Instead of having researchers work in isolation, let’s invite everyone to the table – engineers, designers, product managers – so we can all share ideas and build something great together.
It sounds simple, but you’d be surprised how often it gets overlooked.

Krutika highlighted how important it is to actually show up in team meetings. These gatherings can easily turn into snooze fests where only a few folks talk while everyone else mentally checks out. But it doesn’t have to be that way!
By sharing these quick insights, you’re not just dropping knowledge; you’re getting the team fired up about the value of research in their work. The more involved everyone is, the more invested they’ll be in the outcomes!
Next up, let’s tackle how we figure out if our research is actually making a difference. As Krutika correctly pointed out, simply asking for feedback isn’t enough. Sure, some people might be too polite to tell you the research wasn’t helpful. Instead, we should dive into the data to see if our research is creating a real impact.
This not only shows that research is relevant but also highlights its real-world value. When teams see these direct benefits, they’re more likely to embrace research in future projects.
Now, let’s chat about the magic of continuous improvement based on feedback. Krutika believes we should celebrate our successes but also dig deep into what didn’t work. If something flopped, we need to learn from it and make it better next time.
This collaborative approach doesn’t just generate fresh ideas; it creates a sense of ownership within the team. When everyone feels they’re part of the solution, it strengthens bonds and enhances the product!
Let’s tackle the truth: challenges are a part of the journey. Krutika believes that facing struggles is vital for growth. Instead of only celebrating wins, we should focus on the bumps along the way.
Krutika reminds us that hurdles can lead to great insights. When we understand the challenges we face, we’re better equipped to tackle them head-on, ensuring we’re ready for whatever comes next.
