About the presentation:

Join us as we share findings from interviews with 9 industry leaders on exactly where AI delivers value in research workflows and where it falls short. The findings are based on our AI in UXR Revisit Report .

You’ll learn:

• Where UX experts use AI in 2025 and where they avoid it
• Practical boundaries top researchers use to stay efficient without compromising quality

In this session, Sara Ulius-Sabel (Sr. Staff UX Researcher at ServiceNow) explores how Lean Thinking — a systematic approach originating from Toyota’s manufacturing practices — can transform how we approach UX research operations.

Research teams are under increasing pressure to deliver more value with constrained resources. But what if the real problem isn’t doing more with less, but rather eliminating what doesn’t add value in the first place? Sara will share how Lean Thinking helped her identify and eliminate waste throughout her career, from UX design and user research at Whirlpool to UX research at ServiceNow.

We’ll explore the seven types of waste in research operations (waiting, defects, over-processing, inventory, motion, overproduction, and transportation) and how to systematically identify and eliminate them. We’ll also discuss a timely new dimension: How does AI fit into Lean Thinking? As AI becomes both a producer of research artifacts and a consumer of our inputs, how can we use this shift as a catalyst to fundamentally rethink value and waste?

Attendees will gain:

• A framework for identifying the seven types of waste in their research operations
• Practical strategies to minimize waste and maximize value for stakeholders
• Understanding of how to apply Lean principles to AI integration in research
• Actionable steps to audit and improve their research workflows

This session is ideal for UX researchers, research ops professionals, and research leaders seeking to operate more efficiently and deliver greater impact.

Speaker and topic:

Topic: How Research Leaders Pressure-Test AI Insights

Speaker: LaKeisha Lovett, User Experience Manager at The Home Depot with 20+ years of experience

Moderator: Petra Rajkov, User Researcher @UXtweak

About the presentation:

AI can synthesize insights faster than ever. But synthesis isn’t the hard part, judgment is.

In this session, we’ll skip the tool demos and go straight to where leadership actually lives: what happens after AI generates an output.

• How do you pressure-test AI-driven narratives before presenting to executives?
• How do you separate signal from noise when the patterns look convincing?
• And where does human expertise become non-negotiable, even when AI can do it faster?

Drawing from real discovery work deconstructing how professionals stay irreplaceable in AI-accelerated environments, this talk is for professionals ready to lead at the orchestration layer.

Registration:

​As research operations continue to mature, leaders are increasingly challenged to show clear, measurable impact, not just in what gets done, but in how it shapes decision-making, culture, and business outcomes. In this session, Pedro Vargas explores how to elevate ResearchOps from a support function to a strategic force within the organization.

​Pedro will unpack:

• 
  

  ​Defining and demonstrating ResearchOps impact – focusing on outcomes over activities to show how research drives decisions, shapes culture, and fuels growth.

  
  
• 
  

  ​Using metrics to tell a compelling story – identifying what to measure, how to interpret data meaningfully, and when to go beyond numbers to capture the full value of research.

  
  
• 
  

  ​Building trust and influence with leadership – communicating impact clearly when navigating high-stakes contexts.

  
  

​You’ll walk away with actionable strategies for quantifying and communicating impact, strengthening relationships with leadership, and embedding ResearchOps as a trusted, influential partner across your organization.

Research isn’t the outcome, it’s the output. And it’s really only impactful when paired with skills like effective ideation, collaboration, and communication.

The future of UX research lies in adopting a more strategic mindset. One that ensures research influences priorities, shapes product direction, and actually gets used.

In this session, Sahar Chung, Director of Product Strategy at Multiplayer, will reveal why advancing in user research and being promoted to senior roles isn’t about mastering more methodologies. It’s about developing the storytelling and stakeholder management skills that give research a real seat at the table.

​It’s been 8 years since the original 8 Pillars of User Research helped shape the foundation of ResearchOps. Now, with the rise of AI, evolving team structures, and the growing pressure to democratize research, the field is shifting rapidly — and so are the people and environments that shape it.

​In the kickoff of our 5-part series, 8 Pillars, 8 Years Later, join ReOps OGs and community leaders Emma Boulton and Holly Cole as we explore how the “People” and “Environment” pillars have evolved:

• ​How have the roles, responsibilities, and career paths of research practitioners evolved?
• ​How are research environments evolving in response to AI?
• ​Can ResearchOps practitioners stay ahead while avoiding burnout?
• ​And how do we make space for both structure and experimentation in modern research orgs?

​This conversation is all about people, purpose, and possibility.

​Featuring

• ​Emma Boulton, Design & UX Leader, and the founding voice of the original 8 Pillars
• ​Holly Cole, Executive Director of the ResearchOps Community

​Hosted by: The ReOps Community & Great Question
