I don't think there was anything she missed! Wow, super impressed. Highly recommend. Thank you so much."

More Participant Comments
"This course opened my eyes to just how much ResearchOps can bring to an organisation and in how many areas ReOps roles can support and help researchers be better at their jobs. I also realised that currently I am taking on many of the responsibilities myself as a researcher (which means I can do less strategic research than I'd like/ need to) and that I might be able to delegate some of these tasks to a dedicated person, if we hired for it. I now have some tools and ideas how to assess our needs and get buy-in from leadership to expand the team in these areas."
Marion Kammerer, EstimateOne, Melbourne, Australia
"This course provides so many helpful resources, discussions, and insights into improving the research practices at your organization. I have so much to bring back to my team - I am excited to get started and work on improving out research processes."
Andrew Wismer, HP Inc, Spring, TX USA
"What would happen if everyone in your UXR team leave? Will the UXR team have the capacity to keep existing or it's all connected with the people which are part of? This is why you should register for this course. As a high-level professional, you should be connected to create or get your team more well structured and processes-based. And also join the course if you want to impact more the company you're working in, gathering the best market practices to not have the same failures again."
Pedro Vargas, Florianópolis, SC, Brazil
