Discovery: Building the Right Thing

"Discovery was a whole new thing to me, I learned a lot today."

Ingrid Pigueron, Freelance, Paris, France

"Discovery is foundational to good design! As a content strategist, I'd done discoveries before, but this class gave me new tools, tips, and things to think about. I can't wait to put this to use at work and add more rigor to our content design org."

Sarah Mohs, Intuit, Minneapolis, MN

"Maria is very knowledgeable and the course structure was perfect for my needs: a mix of teaching, individual and team activities, as well as real life examples. It gave me insights about how to structure my future discovery sessions and most important, what to do/don't do to make them work. I will certainly be able to apply these learnings on my day to day job. Thanks!"

Constantina, Musgrave, Dublin

"Maria made the course easy to follow highlighting what a Discovery should and shouldn't contain, with case studies to illustrate different areas. It was very helpful that Maria answered our various questions so that we could relate the knowledge to our own situations. Thank you very much."

Erika Street, UK

"Extremely valuable knowledge. Everything here was without doubt use to me and improve the way I work."

Ian Merry, esure Insurance, Surrey, UK

"The course was incredible. Despite having made discoveries in practice, I learned a lot in the course and cleared up my doubts."

Roberta de Medeiros Fernandes, SERPRO, Recife

"Even if you have loads of Discovery Experience, this will help you frame it all in a nice measured and marketable package. It is always great to see how others are working and the interaction with other students was hugely useful."

Martin Kerr, Scottish Enterprise, Glasgow, Scotland

"A very insightful course about the discovery process, especially if you're just starting out in this field or if your company just started doing them. Anybody working on a product needs to better understand their industry and users. Maria delivered the material superbly and answered all the questions we had. Would highly recommend it!"

Primoz Kos, Cleanshelf, Ljubljana, Slovenia

"If you want to solve the root problem rather than designing for the symptoms, then this class is for you. This class is all about solving the right problem."

Elyse Girard, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, USA

"I have a fair amount of experience in participating in Discovery work (though I'm Content Strategist and not a UX Researcher) and still learned a good bit from this course. The presenter was excellent, I really enjoyed my breakout session team and the online logistics were seamless. Well done!"

Susan Janes-Johnson, Regions Bank, Birmingham, U.S.

"Great course for getting a good overview of what goes into doing a discovery, with excellent breakout sessions where you get to tackle a problem together in a group."

Annika Madejska, Nitor, Finland

"Really loved the organisation of this course and the incorporated activities. Maria was an excellent teacher and the materials were well presented with further readings, references and resources provided at every stage. I am new to this area, so I gained an awful lot of new knowledge. Thank you so much! Course ran super smoothly and Rachel worked in such perfectly timed sync with Maria, that all of the related links, polls break-outs were added with pin-point accuracy. Brilliant teamwork."

Lani Raukawa Field, Signify Ltd, Wellington, Aotearoa, New Zealand

Tan Sei Yee, Government Technology Agency, Singapore

"Makes you realise how important it is to understand and define the problem statement and the different ways to arrive at it."

Deb Ghosh, UK

"Great primer on how to get started on projects to identify and uncover what you don't know, and align stakeholders on what you are hoping to achieve."

Lynne Venart, US Holocaust Memorial Museum

"This course filled my back pockets with a lot of tactical strategies to frame problems, and scale the discovery process upon, as opposed to rolling the ball with business requirements that are built based on assumptions about what the right solution is, oftentimes with full of biases. As a solo-person-team, I've also learned that the discovery phase will be much more effective in a collective effort, and not in isolation."

Constanza Schmidt, GoPro, San Mateo, California

"This course is worth taking to know the ins and outs of discoveries, and how everything comes together with stakeholders, user research and delivery."

Tia Escobar, UXC, Web.com Group, Jacksonville, FL

"This course filled in some gaps in my knowledge about the Discovery phase, and offered concrete tools I can use moving forward. It was well-paced and covered about as much information as i could absorb in a day. Maria and Kim managed the online format incredibly well, further cementing my preference over in-person conferences."

Turi Henderson-Palmer, Zone, London, UK

"I can see how I will start to tackle problems with a more open-minded approach, rather than getting lost in solutions and details too quickly."

Jamie, Idean, London

"Any designer/researcher who is working on a new project should take this class."

Dawn, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Orlando

"Maria was outstanding. Despite the virtual setting, she still found a way to create a personal connection with the attendees while simultaneously teaching and sharing her expertise. I have immediate action items I can take back to work tomorrow."

Basil Frye, Authentic, Richmond, VA, US

"This course is a great way to stretch your brain while learning how to become a better problem solver."

Allison Luetschwager, Delta Dental of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, WI

"This course went really well. I've attended in person in the past and I found that I didn't miss the in-person aspect as much as I thought I would. For example, the group exercises went really well, I met new people and I felt like part of a team. Overall there was a really good balance between group exercises and the lecture component."

Sara Bergquist, Government of Yukon, Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada

"I never know how valuable a true discovery phase is until I took this course. This should be a requirement for all UX and business professionals."

 

"If you have run discovery studies, if you are interested in them in any way, shape, or form, take this course! It is a great resource in navigating different aspects of discoveries and showing the value of the investment it takes to run them. This was an extremely thorough and helpful course overall!"

Irem Alatas, Argo AI

"If you're fresh to UX or a barrel-aged alum, Maria delivers a top-notch course on Discovery for anyone in the UX world."

Allie, AWS, Seattle, United States

"It was extremely interactive which is difficult to achieve with the current virtual status. Both the speaker and moderator did a wonderful job facilitating the session and I was able to come out with a higher understand of the upfront research process and I can take these skills/insights back to my team."

 

"This is a great course. It changed my view on discovery with a framework, information on activities, on schedule and on artifacts. I feel more confident next time I start a UX project!"

Hernani Alves, Talkdesk, Portugal

"It is a good course to take if you're on the Research side of UX learning, which I am and I found it beneficial. What I liked about the course is the importance of doing a discovery early on in the project to uncover your findings and report it along with an How Might We statements."

Trinise Luster, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Atlanta

"Recommended for everyone. It targets the importance of the discovery phase, problem framing, mapping to improve the chances of business implementing product/services successfully."

Georges Klopotowski, Escient, Melbourne, Australia

"I benefited from the course since the instructor was full of experience and knowledge and clearly delivered important points. I would recommend this to other people since it's a great chance to learn more outside of daily work and to think about how I can improve my current work process."

Jiyeong Lee, Fincite GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany

"Maria is an amazing instructor, the course is very well structured, informative, enjoyable and fun!"

Mohammed Alanazi, HUED, Riyadh/Saudi Arabia

"I would tell people to take lots of notes, to be ready to go over various topics, to be fully engaged. This course requires a good amount of attention! I feel as though I really benefited from going over how to do a discovery stage as well as going over how to "sell" the phase as something that's useful. Too many people jump right into the building phase, but after taking this course, I have a better understanding of how to prove the importance of the discovery phase."

Ghezal, Global Affairs Canada

"I found the case studies and given examples directly applicable to my role as a user researcher working to define a discovery phase at my company; the mix of group work and lessons gave me an opportunity to flex new learnings in an applied setting, which was perfect for cementing learnings."

Elle Gover, Detroit Labs

"Essential course for those who want to make a product that really matters. You'll learn how to frame your problem, research it and come up with user issues that need to be addressed, not a pack of features to be built."

Rafael Bacchetti, Samsung, São Paulo, Brazil

"I learned how to employ, run, and, convice my team and stakeholders to embrace discovery before we move into solutioning ideas."

Derik Schneider, Nutrien Ag Solutions, Albany

"I would definitely refer anyone to this course; new and old to the UX research process. This course provided me with a lot of resources and information I could use to take back to my team and organization to provide better products to our clients."

Chris Calderon, Appddiction Studio, San Antonio

Patrick Diaz, Genentech, South San Francisco

"Very well structured content, group work and over all detail and experience. Thank you very much Maria, Kate and the NN Group team for an awesome online course. I know this is the first time for the online format and it can be quite hard to have the same experience as the conference. But being an attendee of a previous conference, I can say this format achieved the same level of excellence. On the other hand, the practice of UX is gaining momentum in Latin America and in countries such as Peru. The online format enables more practicioners to learn from you guys and continue to build the practice in the region. Once again, thank you very much, will continue to enjoy your courses in the following weeks."

Alejandro Nadal, Seek, Lima, Peru

"This course helped me understand how to make discoveries less messy by having defined planning and strategy. I think the frameworks shown will be very important to achieve a structured methodology."

"Take it! I like that this course covered the entire discovery phase, from start to end. I walked away with strategies that I can incorporate in my work immediately and came away with concepts to share with teammates and stakeholders who are involved in our research processes. Not only were the topics a mixture of good refreshers and new approaches, but they were shared in an applicable manner."

 

"It is a great course which cover all the important aspects and importance of incorporating Discoveries in the project model to learn the real problem the users are having, rather than simply building solution based out of assumptions and not facts."

Divine Lakshmi, Austin, TX, USA

"Great course! Learned a lot and enjoyed the team sessions. The material given is going to be really beneficial to bring back to my team."

Nicole Kina, Ford Motor Company, Dearborn MI, USA

Samuel Bergström, tretton37, Lund, Sweden

"I highly recommend this course for anyone that has interaction with project that have discoveries."

Leon Rose, Office for National Statistics, Newport, Wales

"It's always a difficult challenge to not only deliver good discovery artefacts but to know and articulate what they are and why the business needs them. This course really helps clarify this."

Sean McSharry, UX Sanctuary, London, UK

"The class was awesome! Even though I have been through the discovery stage before but this makes me realise some of the things that I have been doing wrongly. The activities were great too! :D"

Joan, Singapore

"As someone who is new to UX and hasn't had any experience in being a part of a discovery process, I now have a good understanding of what it entails and what some of the best practices are. This well-thought-out framework has alleviated much of the uncertainty and anxiety I felt around putting these concepts into practice."

Nicole Ho, Singapore

"As a designer, this course helped me learn ways to avoid getting trapped into designing poorly thought out solutions that don't address real problems."

Gio Ledda, Ledda Studio, Cochrane

"I will recommend this course to anyone who has never done a discovery session with their teams or even done a poor man's budget discovery phase (like myself). This course has come at a great time for me in terms of my work situation and as a result I now have much clarity on how I might run a discovery session at work- what to ask or even push back with confidence because I have all the great material, templates and examples to back me up. Anna was great with answering questions. The example case studies and example workbooks are worth their weight in gold. So thanks!"

Suhasini Vempati, amaysim, Sydney, Australia

"Thanks to the content of this course and Anna's amazing delivery I am certain I will be rocking my next discovery projects!! It brings a whole different perspective on problems vs solutions. Thank you Anna and Nichole!"

Sarah Larkin, Independence Blue Cross, Philadelphia, PA

"I enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone wanted to get an overview of the discovery process. Anna was great at presenting the content and it was all very interesting. Felt like it moved at a good pace and there was a good balance of theory and practical parts. The practical exercises were short on time, but I felt that was fine as it was just good to practise it, and then come back to the group and see what Anna's versions of the same exercise was."

Tom Jay, HandsHQ, London - UK

"Great course which provides a solid overview of the discovery phase of a project. Anna Kaley keeps things real and tells you like it is."

Bill Levy, Alpha Solutions, Portland, United States

"It's how every important project should start! This is a class not just for designers."

Jessica Kerbo, Abt Associates, Washington, DC

"This course is also for Product Managers. I'm a PM but I only know from this course because of my UX colleague. But as I am the facilitator of discovery, it is very valuable if me as a PM knows about those activities and how to tie them together."

Maximilian Kohl, Celonis, Munich, Germany

"I would say that this course is very everything and you learn a lot. All the concepts are simply explained."

Edwina Fautrai, Paris, France

"It's a really in-depth look at discoveries with all the explanations and myth-busting you need to feel confident about doing one yourself."

James Steel, Nationwide Building Society, London, UK

Maria's experience and feedback were of great value, allowing me to identify behaviors and tools to assess and improve my practice."

Livier Ortiz Anaya, PwC Luxembourg, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg

"The course is about a holistic approach to the discovery phase. Team activities are about crucial steps which might be ambiguous when doing for the first time. You learn how to make them right. In the end, you're leaving with a clear framework on how to structure this important and complex part of the design/production process. I gained a lot of knowledge and validated some of my assumptions, and improved on things I was doing wrong in the past."

Blaženko Davidović, Raiffeisen Bank International, Zagreb, Croatia

""Go ahead!!" I gained an understanding of what a problem is and why it is important to focus on the problem space, along with methods and best practices (tailored to each project's needs). I absolutely loved the instructor, Maria Rosala - amazing communication skills! I also appreciated the quality of the data presented, the exercises and collaborating with other practitioners. And of course thumbs up for the smooth experience in overall (really appreciated all the notifications prior to the course and the info provided)."

Amalia Tsichla, Orfium, Athens, Greece

"This course really focuses on how to get the most value out of discovery by framing the problems and findings in a way that will facilitate better solutions (rather than jumping straight to solutions, which we often do). It was so helpful to me, as the person charged with running discoveries for all of our web projects. (And the course applies to more than web projects and even UX projects.)"

Christina Huntington, Memphis, USA

"Worth taking this class, you will get a ton of great material from it. Take plenty of notes because they will certainly come in handy!"

Shoog Saad, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

"Try to push as many people from your team to take it. It's hard to go back and convince the rest if they haven't heard of this from an expert. There is no way a team should be allowed to build a product without taking this course before."

Luis Kentzler, Celonis, Munich, Germany

"I benefitted from this course in numerous ways. I was able to meet other people, apply what I learned in real-time, and found the content to be clear and informative."

Liv Zabka, Lockheed Martin

"Great course to get you thinking critically about how to properly consider the issues you may actually need to address."

Michael Ryan, Frazer Computing, Canton, NY USA

Noah Suppin, Deloitte, Austin, TX

"Really worthwhile. Was good to sit and soak it all in in one session as it gave more time to reflect on how to put it into practice."

Abygail Guerrero, USAA, San Antonio, USAA

"Mayya was knowledgeable and engaging, and materials are diverse and cover a wide range of exercises with rich resources which I am glad to have access to. This course will put you on the right track to do a successful discovery phase and will help you persuade other team members with doing discovery and not only by telling but by showing results. I'm glad I didn't miss it."

Mona Farag, IBM, Giza, Egypt

"Mayya is a skilled lecturer and presents information well. She is extremely patient with Q+A and detailed in her responses. Activities are informative, fun and engaging."

"It is a must-have course since everyone in the UX Field will be in that discovery phase sometimes."

Peter, Phoenix Contact, Bielefeld, Germany

"This course includes the theory and the practice at the same time and that is why I think it is successful. The use of time is well balanced."

Edline Nicolakis, OutSystems, Lisbon, Portugal

"I learned a lot and consolidated my previous knowledge. Redefined my mentality in problem-solving."

Yasser Lotfy, Arab African International Bank, Cairo, Egypt

"I really enjoyed this class! I am very new to the entire UX world and this course taught me how valuable Discoveries are and what they actually are. I am definitely going to bring what I learned from this course back to my org and implement it! If you are in doubt about taking this course, just do it, it is amazing!"

Hannah Green, doTERRA, Utah, United States

"This course was fantastic. It helped me feel more comfortable with the prospect of running discoveries. Before, I always felt that discovery work can feel vast, overwhelming, and intimidating. Now I feel armed with a set of tools, methods, and a deeper level of understanding of a process that I can follow to ensure I'm moving my team in the right direction."

Emma Walsh, Tyler Technologies, Freeport, Maine, USA

"I really enjoyed this course, super insightful and with practical cases."

Dias Clara, Swapfiets, Rotterdam Netherlands

"Highly beneficial and would strongly recommend. This course walks you through all the ways organizations make mistakes by either: 1) solving a problem that doesn't exist or 2) doing work that's based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what the problem actually is."

Alana Schroeder, TaskRabbit, San Francisco, USA

"I enjoyed the course, in my current role as a researcher in my company I don't run discoveries but we've been seeing an opportunity to help so this course helped me feel prepared. Love the small group exercises as well."

Heather Leffler, Kroger, Cincinnati, USA

"For somebody who has a good theoretical knowledge of Discoveries but minimal practical experience of having conducted them, this course was absolutely amazing. Fear of failure due to lack of adequate experience held me back over the years from reaching out to decision-makers to initiate conversations on and persuade them for conducting discoveries. This course has given me the much-needed confidence to not just persuade them but also to help conduct them with the team (including the stakeholders) in the true spirit and the right manner. Thanks a ton, Maria."

Praveen Bandaru, Cognizant, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK
