Human-centered design for market research
Dive into the world of human-centered design (HCD) in market research with Forsta

At Forsta, we’re evangelists for gripping data visualization techniques and smooth, collaborative iteration – that delivers impactful results for inspired action.
In the realm of market research, data reigns supreme. Yet, amidst the sea of numbers and statistics, it’s easy to forget the human element—the real people behind the data points. Principles, theories, and data are valuable tools, but they are merely means to an end. At Forsta, we firmly believe that data is only as good as the actions and change it drives. That’s where human-centered design (HCD) comes in.
Consumer expectations have never been higher and today, every touchpoint is part of the customer experience. Understanding the intricacies of human behavior and preferences is crucial.
Human-centered design is more than just a methodology—it’s a mindset. It’s a problem-solving technique that places real people at the heart of the development process. By prioritizing users’ wants, pain points, and preferences at every stage, HCD enables us to create products and services that resonate and are tailored to their needs. For example, approaching research participants with empathy, using story telling best practices to influence decisions made on insights, and so on.
Throughout this ebook, we’ll explore how to apply HCD to market research to drive actionable insights and enhance the overall research process. Join us as we delve into the world of human-centered design and discover how it can revolutionize your approach to market research and unlock the true potential of your customer data and insights.
Let’s get started.
