Raising the Bar for Online Focus Groups

Online video focus groups have been around for about 20 years. As an early adopter, I have been conducting them for over 15 years. But in the last year almost all focus groups have had to move to online services. So let’s talk about what services are available and best practices of holding discussions online to help make the experience feel and look more alive (like how you can do a product sort or show participants what items look like on a mobile screen while broadcasting on a separate device). It’s time to break out of the square boxes!

An Immersive Ethnography Technique for deep understanding

Over my long career, I have been lucky enough to work with really creative researchers who have taught me to be fearless and creative. On a project for a US based restaurant chain, I worked with my videographer to record interviews without the knowledge of those around us, focused on the research participants who are in the know, and my own brand of sneaky ethnography was born. After Covid, I’ll take this approach back out on the road to explore all sorts of restaurants, hotels, retail establishment, auto dealerships and so much more. If you can go do it, I can study it! And have fun too.

Bob Qureshi, founder and co-owner of award-winning UK viewing facility i-view, will share (in discussion with Ray Poynter) his perception of how face-to-face qual will look and function in 2021 and the near future.
The pandemic has had a particularly chilling impact on face-to-face qual, and as the owner of two facilities (in London and Leeds), Bob is in the frontline of helping researchers navigate what comes next – dealing with what he terms the coronacoaster.
