Bios of Presenters
Mike Harmon, Director of Development, Conifer Research
Corporate researchers routinely use qualitative measures to help understand attitudes, behaviors and motivations of their customers. Ethnography - a specialized qualitative approach rooted in anthropology - is well-regarded for its ability to produce insights that inform corporate strategy, product development and messaging. In this presentation we'll cover ethnographic approaches and how the qualitative data is managed through some proprietary web-based tools that Conifer has developed.
Conifer Research, a 15 year-old consultancy that specializes in ethnographic research. Mike's first exposure to ethnography came as part of a user experience team at a global consumer electronics manufacturer. Today he works with research and user experience teams of large corporations to develop research programs that help them better understand their consumers.
