Research interviews produce A LOT of findings, many of which mean different things to different people.

This activity helps you organise your findings (and your thinking) by framing and reframing what you've learned as a group.

What’s it for

Processing research findings and organising them in a meaningful and consequential way.

What you’ll get

A shared understanding of what was learned through the interviews, and the different directions those learnings could take you in.

When to do it

After completing each round of research interviews.
