Welcome to the UDS Research Repository!

Built for designers, researchers, service designers, and business teams - so you can find, reuse, and build on research instead of starting from scratch.



When and why to use a Repository?


• Kick off - start a project with context and evidence
• Ideation - understand problems before you design
• When you’re stuck, find an inspiration
• When you need relevant evidence to back your arguments

‍

How do I find what I need?



Go to the UDS research widget, where you can use 


Search bar

‍Enter a keyword like “onboarding” or “payments”.

‍

Filters  

Narrow by type of insights.

‍

User testing: 


• all of our tests with real persons and real products

Secondary data 


• insights from empirical studies, case studies, industry practices, blogs, etc.

Tip - you can search for stages of design process - discovery and iteration

‍

What can I see?


Each entry follows the same structure, so you know what to expect:


• Tags - make it findable
• Summary - the big picture
• Key takeaways - actionable insights for designers
• Scope and goal - why we did it
• Method - how we did it
• Results
• CTA: See full results - there is always more data and insights for you in FigJam files. Keep exploring.
• Sources - where we got our facts from

‍

And if I don’t find what I need?


• You can request research from our business architects to raise a new topic
• Or, if you’re unsure, contact UDS researchers - we’ll point you in the right direction
