Eliminating Bias in User Personas
Description
Communicating with a variety of supporters and stakeholders can be a difficult task. Digital is vast: Stop making assumptions about where you need to show up and craft an audience-informed communications strategy built on specific needs and behaviors. Learn how to gather, analyze, and build significant insights on qualitative conversations and translate them into meaningful action points alongside a more structured quantitative approach. We’ll discuss how to plan, conduct, and analyze simple user research, and pinpoint user behaviors that will anchor your digital strategy and online presence. This will inform your site’s core content, segmentation and communication across digital properties, and even lead to developing a flagship digital product for your organization. This is the power in building something informed by your constituents-your biggest champions-rather than building on assumptions.
