Contact SalesAs part of ING’s ongoing commitment to leading the way in being customer-centric, they needed to establish an end-to-end testing flow from exploration to validation across all their teams.
The challenge? Incorporating end-to-end testing into an agile workflow where customer journey experts (CJEs), ING’s business-oriented profiles representing the customer, in the teams far outnumbered researchers.
They knew that giving each team autonomy to lead their research with customers would be crucial, but that they also had to ensure the quality of research was up to their high standards.
Javier Sierra Merino, User Research Expert Lead at ING Spain & Portugal, developed a plan to turn CJEs into researchers.
They created an international program covering four countries that explained the basics of UserZoom, including guides to research methodologies, study templates, best practices, and a shared research calendar.
The training and templates allowed the research team to organize better and monitor all the studies conducted by the CJEs across the key design phases.
Through UserZoom’s unlimited seats for customers and their custom-built training program, Javier’s team was able to turn more than 100 CJEs into researchers who could conduct tactical user research autonomously.
The CJEs participated in 289 tests and collected feedback from more than 23,000 customers.
The next aim is to extend this framework to the rest of the organization.
