Challenge:
Making qualitative research more fun, structured and easier to follow along.
Method:
Visualize and discuss intuitively with word clouds and polls during a focus group.
Number of participants:
Small groups of less than 10 participants.
FerroExplore regularly deploys QANDR in both online and offline research into such topics as core messages of government departments or corporate stories. With the help of QANDR FerroExplore examines how individuals respond to hearing or reading the message or story.
Respondents may be asked to submit a number of key words in a closed, unbiased word cloud that reflect their first response to a particular message. As the word cloud is initially closed, peer influence and socially desirable responses are prevented. At a certain point FerroExplore reveals the word cloud, rendering all words visible to all participants, as well as the client on whose behalf FerroExplore is conducting the research. Subsequently, the thoughts/intentions that underly the submitted key words can be discussed further in the group.
The use of QANDR makes giving first reactions more fun, structured and easier to follow for the clients!
