Themes from our community interviews 💚

We’ve now completed our 10 qualitative community interviews, which gave generally positive reviews of the product and provided great feedback to take forwards.

🌱 Key themes emerging from our qualitative interviews:

1. Community members shared an appreciation for the product in being able to see personalised content, the opportunity to be heard, and having an engaging and efficient way of keeping up to date

2. There was overarching agreement that this product would improve brand perception

3. The top 4 features for community users were: community portal, timeline, impact dashboards, & 3D visualisations

4. There are some open questions that were raised that we will take into design considerations, e.g. remaining unbiased, accessibility, and access rights

We will also set up stations across the offices to showcase trends, demos, case studies and new immersive technologies
