UX research leaders are facing a shift in expectations.
Teams are moving faster, AI is accelerating execution, and stakeholders want earlier signals, clearer direction, and stronger proof of impact. At the same time, researchers are navigating how to protect rigor, judgment, and trust in an environment that increasingly rewards speed over depth.
Many organizations still rely on lagging indicators like NPS, CSAT, or churn to understand experience. Research leaders are being asked to go further. They are expected to surface leading signals, connect insights across product and customer touchpoints, and influence decisions before outcomes appear in dashboards.
Join us on February 24 at 11:00 am PT for an invite-only virtual roundtable for senior UX research leaders. Led by Karen Eisenhauer, this session will focus on how research teams are evolving from tactical execution to strategic influence. Together, we will explore how leaders are integrating AI responsibly, enabling partners without losing quality, and positioning research as a true center of impact inside their organizations.
This session is designed for candid peer discussion. Come ready to share what is working, what is challenging, and what you are rethinking as you lead research into 2026.
