Meaningful, actionable customer research is within reach.
What is the HCD Discovery Guide?
The Discovery Guide shows you how to gather irrefutable evidence for problems everyone knows exist but can't prove - like scheduling quotas that alienate patients, or intake processes that create more work than they solve.
It gives you the exact language and frameworks to translate what you see every day into terms your leadership can't ignore.
How is the Discovery Guide better than other processes?
The HCD Discovery methodology was built over 15 years working in actual businesses and federal agencies.
From Vogue to VA, this system works. And unlike academic or consultant-led design thinking workshops that end when the sticky notes come down, this is a systematic process you can repeat, defend, and pass along to colleagues.
Why is the Discovery Guide critical to my success?
You already know what's broken and you want to start fixing it, but without evidence that speaks your organization's language and is tied to your goals, your runway is limited for this work.
With the HCD Discovery methodology you’ll gather the evidence and get the data backing to turn your expertise into organizational change that actually sticks.
How is the Discovery Guide organized?
The HCD Discovery Guide is written and organized in modular, interchangeable sections. That means your teams don’t need to read straight through or follow this Guide step-by-step, like a recipe.
Instead, the professionals in your organization use the parts of the Guide they need, while applying their own experience and SOPs to sail through the parts that are familiar.
You deserve great CX and DX research.
HCD Discovery is systematic customer research.
The HCD Discovery Guide provides comprehensive customer experience research methodology for c-suite professionals leading internal and external teams.
