PH1 Research's 2022 Strategic Vision

2022 marks the tenth anniversary of our small, yet mighty consulting firm. From scrappy beginnings taking any UX project we could find, to today working on huge clients today, we've learned to be adaptable. We're now taking on the industry-changing challenges and it requires setting an equally ambitious vision for our business.

Fittingly, our 2022 strategic vision was created in Colombia, where version 2 of the business was defined. It's a place Brittany and I love and one that fuels a desire to triumph against barriers. The strategic vision was the core outcome of our annual team retreat that brought everyone together for fun, work, and exploration.
