Let’s team up and define your UXR goals for 2024

Team+ · Ilse Blom, Kathleen Asjes and Karin den Bouwmeester

We all talk about “impact” and are eager to show how valuable researchers are as strategic business partners. But in reality, it can be difficult to break free from the daily grind and carve out time to think about how to set ourselves up for success. Doing this by yourself can make it even more challenging. 

Being intentional about your goals is the first step to achieving impact.

But how? 🤔

👉 Join us and work with UXR peers to maximize your impact in 2024

  • Gain insights from the lessons learned from our experienced guest speaker Ilse Blom,
  • collaborate with UXR professionals from around the world,
  • through two group sessions & individual assignments,
  • and provide each other with support and feedback.

📈 Afterwards, you..

  • defined your UX research goals for next year,
  • feel ready to successfully transform your research practice to have more impact, 
  • and gained peer support.

How does this work?

We gather online for two sessions of 90 minutes. During these sessions you will learn more about setting strategic goals, be inspired by our guest speaker and work together with your peers to define your goals for 2024. Between sessions, you will have the opportunity to connect with your peers through our community platform and work together on completing the assignments.

Session 2 - November 30 

  • We all share our goals and give feedback to each other. 
  • Time for reflection: are your goals for 2024 ambitious, inspiring and/or actionable? 
  • What do you need to do to get buy-in from your colleagues and stakeholders to make this happen? 
  • How will you keep track of progress and stay on track during 2024? 
  • Define your next steps: how will you go from idea to action?

Ilse started her career as a UI/UX designer at a health insurance company and then later moved to funda. When a UX Research position opened up, it was through her participation in the hiring interviews and passionately telling those candidates about the role that she discovered her secret crush on research. Eventually, it was Ilse who got the role and the opportunity to build the in-house research practice; later the research team from scratch.

In the past couple of years she continued to enhance her strategic and coaching capabilities as UX Research manager at Backbase. Currently she is exploring new realms as a freelancer in the role of Service Designer for Jumbo Supermarkten.
