Summary

In our remote world, we as researchers need new ways to help our stakeholders cut through the noise to engage and digest our insights more meaningfully through thoughtful and intentional self-directed learning techniques. In this short session, we will discuss 4 key self-directed learning techniques to help you increase engagement around your insights during our debriefing sessions with your stakeholders.

Key Insights

  • Self-directed learning is key for making insights actionable for stakeholders.

  • Design contexts tailored to individual strengths and interests to enhance insight reception.

  • Embrace asynchronous collaboration to hear diverse voices and encourage engagement.

  • Prioritize emotional literacy to gauge audience sentiment before sharing insights.

  • Focus on the most influential stakeholders to maximize impact of insights shared.

  • Utilize frameworks that differentiate between awareness and action modalities in insight sharing.

  • Check in on participants' feelings to foster a caring and productive environment.

  • Encourage pre-session engagement with insights to facilitate more productive discussions.

  • Create clarity around next steps to prevent confusion post-insight sharing.

  • Use comments and collaborative tools to allow for a richer discussion around insights.
