When stakeholders push for quick results, I persuade them to prioritize research by focusing on measurable outcomes: Highlight the Risk of Failure: I explain that 70% of projects fail due to inadequate user understanding, making research a safeguard against costly mistakes. Emphasize ROI: I demonstrate how user research improves usability by up to 50%, leading to higher user retention and satisfaction, directly impacting business success. Propose Lean Research: I suggest fast, low-cost methods like 5-user testing or targeted surveys Draw on Examples Frame Research as an Accelerator: I position research as a tool that prevents future delays, ensuring we "design it right the first time."

Il est écrit dans Proverbe (Un livre de la Bible) chapitre 16, le verset 20 ceci : « Celui qui réfléchit sur les choses trouve le bonheur; et celui qui se confie en L’ÉTERNEL est heureux. » Pour dire que tout projet a une vie propre à lui et SON TEMPS de manifestation (Ecclésiaste 3:11) propre à lui qui s’impose naturellement de lui-même quand tout ce qui devait être fait AVANT l’a été. Il ne faut pas non plus craindre de dire aux autres de signer noir sur blanc qu’ils prennent sur eux les conséquences de tout désastre suivant le lancement précoce du projet et ils réfléchiront à deux fois avant de parler encore. La crainte de froisser l’autre N’EST PAS un atout de management, ni dans les relations humaines. 22/12/2024 : 12’57

I'd make a clear business case by highlighting how research saves money and time in the long run. For example, investing in research early helps avoid costly redesigns and feature failures. I'd present real scenarios where lack of research led to product failures versus success stories where research guided profitable decisions.

Position Research as Risk Mitigation: Highlight how comprehensive research minimizes uncertainty and reduces the likelihood of wasted resources. Stakeholders are often more receptive when they see it as a safeguard for their investments.
