Workshop: The ‘Memeification’ of Research

Research has a curation problem: How might we curate our research into a “repository” to meet the decision-making needs of the businesses we support.

It’s too easy to imagine that a tool can be the silver bullet to solve the curation needs of a business. The best examples of well curated businesses often use research repositories, but a poorly curated business with the best research repository tools will simply have a tool they won’t use. I’ll talk about teaching and learning theory (pedagogy), knowledge transmission, what underpins the creation of memorable research artefacts, and revisit why User Research is a team sport.

Participants will need their laptop.
