Rapid user research discovery (Lean Discovery)

Our rapid, user-centred research discovery shows you how to progress your new or existing digital service in just weeks. 

Prioritising user needs

Designed for service owners who value evidence-driven approaches, but aren’t subject to stringent Service Standard assessments. 

We’ve distilled our processes, tools, and templates from 10+ years of discoveries into this cost-effective solution.

“Lagom really added value. They not only facilitated user engagement, they were able to provide an alternative view and challenged us when needed, using their expertise and product knowledge.” 

– Education Development Lead, Genomics Education Programme

Why Lagom?

We draw on our experience of working with 40+ teams to deliver discovery phases over the last 10 years, so we know what it takes to run an effective discovery phase (and the pitfalls to avoid) to gather the evidence you need.

We are independently owned, technology-agnostic, and don’t build things: so you can trust our recommendations are truly objective, best value, and above all, user-centred.

We pick the best user-centred methods to gather the evidence needed, quickly and to a budget.”
