CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT  THROUGH COLLABORATION 

 

By encouraging participant engagement and creativity, and marrying it with a long-form research that runs for days or weeks, Qualzy provides a highly productive environment to perfect concepts with the help of a wider community of people.

 

Concept Development

Qualzy Essentials is the perfect foundation for any research project - and concept development is no different. They require high levels of participation, a mixture of engaging activities, and powerful data analysis tools to ensure you get the deep insights you need.

Essentials line 4-2

Qualzy enables you to mix highly structured activities such as ideation, creative activities like the personal canvas, and open-ended activities like social posts, so you can create research projects that balance leading participants in a particular direction while also letting them take you in new directions.

IDEATION MADE  SIMPLE 

Ideation is the creative process of generating, developing, and communicating new ideas. Bringing this process online can be frustrating and difficult unless you have the right tools for the job. This is why we designed a specific “Idea” activity to manage the entire ideation process - from idea creation through to determining which ideas are best.

Stage 1: Idea Collection

The first step in the ideation process is the creation of the ideas themselves. These ideas are usually created by participants but there is an option for client ideas to be added as well. This allows clients to mix their ideas in with participants’ ideas, or in some cases provide all of the ideas they want to test with no participant creation.

Example: A nationwide grocery chain wants to create a new rewards card that appeals to younger buyers. A community of young people are asked to create a rewards card that would have benefits that appeal to them. 

Stage 2: Idea Finalist Selection

This is the point in the process where the moderator and client can sift through the raw ideas provided by participants. Some ideas can usually be picked without modification for inclusion in the finalist list. Other ideas may have potential but need to be edited into a “polished” form ready to become a finalist. If the client has some specific ideas they wish to test of their own, they would be added at this point.

Example: Participants come up with various ideas for the rewards card for the national grocery chain, with a percentage discount on all purchases being one of the most common suggestions. The moderator edits and merges these similar ideas into a single rewards card idea that provides a 5% discount for all purchases when the rewards card is used. This process is repeated for other good ideas.

Stage 3: Voting on Ideas

Each participant is given a certain number of total “upvotes” that they can place against their preferred ideas. Multiple upvotes can be given – so more votes can be given to ideas they really like, with fewer votes to ideas that are just “ok”. An explanation of why they have voted for an idea is included with their vote. Once all votes have been used, their response is complete.

Example: Participants are given a total of 10 upvotes for them to choose their favourite reward card ideas. Up to 5 upvotes may be given to a single idea, so if they love something, they can give to idea half of their total votes. An optional single down-vote is added to allow people to indicate if they particularly dislike a certain idea.

 ACTIVITIES  FOR CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

Social Post500 px

Form500 px

Diary Entry500 px

SOCIAL POST

Great for open-ended posts from participants. Entering a response is similar to posting on social media, with a mixture of text, photos, audio, files and videos able to be included.

FORM

This activity is useful for situations in which a structured response, consisting of multiple questions, is required. Text, numeric, single/multiple choice, ranking questions and media may be included.

DIARY ENTRY

A diary entry activity is similar to a form, but it can be completed and posted multiple times over the course of a project, not just once, making it ideal for longer-term tracking of behaviour. 

Information500 px

Pin Task500 px

INFORMATION

Information pages will provide participants with detailed information before moving on to other activities. An optional button can be added that must be pressed before continuing.

PIN TASK

Often called “heat maps,” pin tasks allow participants to place “pins” on an image and add comments. It helps participants to point out exactly what they are referring to on an image.

PERSONAL CANVAS

Participants receive a virtual piece of paper that they can use to create collages, mood boards, and to place items (brands, etc.) on a matrix. This is the platform’s most creative activity! 

Card Sort500 px

Card Score500 px

Image Upload500 px

CARD SORT 

A card sort is a great visual way to organise items (e.g. products, brands, etc.) into categories (e.g. ones you know, like, use, etc.). Each item is a card with text and/or an image.

CARD SCORE

Cards are also used in this activity, but they are arranged on scales (e.g. quality, cleanliness, taste) rather than sorted into groups. An overall “score” for a particular card can then be determined.

IMAGE UPLOAD

Collect images which can be taken in the moment, uploaded from gallery or searched online. Our integration with Pixabay and Unsplash makes searching for images a breeze.

Video Upload500 px

Audio Upload500 px

File Upload500 px

VIDEO UPLOAD

Capture the participant’s perspective for ethnography studies or flip to selfie to capture personal, candid responses. Videos can be transcribed and further analysed for sentiment and themes.    

AUDIO UPLOAD

Features a custom audio recorder that works natively on all devices. Audio collection is less intrusive and smaller than video, but with many of the benefits, including transcription.

FILE UPLOAD

Great for collecting files that isn’t media (e.g. spreadsheets, signed documents, etc). You can control which files are allowed to minimize incorrect uploads.

Video Player500 px

Watch & Answer500 px

Screen Recording500 px

MEDIA PLAYER

Show participants a video and track how much they have watched. You can make completing the video mandatory before continuing to the next activity.

MEDIA REVIEW

Similar to the media player activity, however once the video is watched a form appears below the player. Great for asking questions about a video as soon as it's been watched.

SCREEN RECORDING

Great for watching what a person does on their screen, with optional narration as they use their device. Supports mobile screen recording through an integrated video upload.  

Chat500 px

External Survey500 px

Multiple Post Generator500 px

CHAT

Works exactly like a group chat in a messaging app. All participants can see what others are saying and reply to them, and posts to the chat can include images and emojis.

 

EXTERNAL SURVEY

Go mixed-mode and hook into an external quantitative survey. Participants complete an external survey and are redirected back to Qualzy for a seamless experience.

MULTI-POST

For situations where Social Posts work well, however there are multiple questions in a single activity that you want to have answered and split into multiple posts.
