This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Alex Genov, Head of Marketing Insights and Customer Research at Zappos. We discussed the tension between academic research and its application in organizations, and how the human aspects of research found in qualitative studies get overlooked. As Alex suggests, the key is fine-tuning the balance between the two, taking the time to understand where your limits and your customer's needs meet. That's where you'll find the practical, scalable solutions, instead of taking a cold average of human experience.
