How to Transform Research Interviews Into Compelling Stakeholder Presentations That Drive Action

Convert interview recordings into powerful research presentations with video highlights, insights, and recommendations that persuade stakeholders and secure product investment

Why 76% of Research Teams Struggle to Get Stakeholder Buy-In for User Insights

Here's the frustrating reality: UX researchers conduct thorough user interviews but struggle to communicate findings in ways that resonate with stakeholders—leaving valuable insights ignored while decisions get made without user evidence.

"The impact of user research isn't determined by the quality of insights—it's determined by how effectively those insights are communicated to decision-makers in language they understand and value."

The influence opportunity? Most research teams present findings as academic reports instead of recognizing presentation as the critical bridge between user insights and business action that drives product investment.

"Stakeholders don't resist user research—they resist unclear, overwhelming, or irrelevant presentations that fail to connect user insights to business outcomes and strategic decisions."
