Measuring the success of research efforts is a critical capability in maturing our discipline and increasing our influence. The next Advancing Research call will be an opportunity to hear about “learning velocity,” how it’s being applied at Fidelity Investments, and what that could mean for you. Fidelity’s Jen Cardello, head of UX Research & Insights, and Jen Otto, head of Research Operations, will share how learning velocity has become a significant outcome that drives both ResearchOps initiatives (e.g., democratization) and the way they conduct and measure the effectiveness of research at Fidelity. Jen and Jen will outline what learning velocity is and how it fits into Fidelity’s outcomes-based approach to research strategy. Join us Thursday, September 16th, 4-5pm ET, and bring your questions about how to improve the speed at which your organization learns.
