Unless we have a reason to update this? Or make it useful somewhat? xintianzhang https://padlet.com/madhavanprithika/k5ef9x68x7w81p97/wish/1054643116 2021-01-05 06:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/madhavanprithika/k5ef9x68x7w81p97/wish/1054643116 OKR's for Goal Setting: The system works.

I.e. language/ methodology/ communication with stakeholders etc. E.g. the China native project, I joined because of my language skills, and I contributed and learnt a lot E.g. I know JH has expertise in agile research and knows how to show impact, which I find useful. Then next time I can consult him for this, or even collaborate a project xintianzhang https://padlet.com/madhavanprithika/k5ef9x68x7w81p97/wish/1054646117 2021-01-05 06:39:13 UTC https://padlet.com/madhavanprithika/k5ef9x68x7w81p97/wish/1054646117 weekly updates on what we are working on, what's the blocker and if the previous work has been completed https://padlet.com/madhavanprithika/k5ef9x68x7w81p97/wish/1054647008 2021-01-05 06:39:42 UTC https://padlet.com/madhavanprithika/k5ef9x68x7w81p97/wish/1054647008 No researcher should work alone and in silo.

less about communicating about updates; more about raising challenges and getting input from others to help problem solve

Also 1x a year try to participate in UX community events (do a course, run a talk at a conference, attend a webinar) to keep yourself relevant and have a good network.

Researchers can be attached to one business unit and have more flexibility. (sometimes certain business unit may not have sufficient research needs, or do not get sufficient support/capability). 

How might we make best use of the hours and capabilities of researchers, and create the biggest impact from each individual as well as the whole team?]]> 2021-01-05 07:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/madhavanprithika/k5ef9x68x7w81p97/wish/1054691524 So far, Any projects involve more than one business unit? - that is a sign for two researchers working together https://padlet.com/madhavanprithika/k5ef9x68x7w81p97/wish/1054715834 2021-01-05 07:18:01 UTC https://padlet.com/madhavanprithika/k5ef9x68x7w81p97/wish/1054715834
