Description

Being a better researcher means knowing when you’re being lied to — and how to get to the truth.

In this 60-minute masterclass, you’ll learn how to sharpen your research instincts, design smarter studies, and uncover what users really think, feel, and do — even when they don’t tell you directly.

Whether you’re running interviews, usability tests or focus groups, users will lie to you — not out of malice, but for many subtle, very human reasons. And if you don’t recognise the signs or ask the right kinds of questions, those lies can compromise your insights and design decisions.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A better understanding of why people lie in research settings — and how to spot it
  • Practical tools and techniques to encourage more truthful, behaviour-based responses
  • Tips on designing research setups that build trust and reduce bias
  • A fresh perspective on your role as a researcher — part friend, part social worker, part human lie detector
  • A real-world case study that reveals how small lies (and smart research) shaped the design of a government digital survey

This session will help you cut through the noise and get to the truth — because good design depends on good research, and good research depends on honest insight.
