The world is shifting. New technologies, changing user expectations, and rapidly evolving markets are reshaping how we design and build products. At the heart of it all is one constant: understanding the people we create for.
In this edition of Built to Last, we dive into user research in a changing world. How do we capture real insights when behavior, needs, and contexts are in constant flux? What new methods, tools, and mindsets are needed to truly understand and anticipate the needs of tomorrow?
Great research is never done alone, you are only as strong as your team. From cross-disciplinary collaboration to shared ownership of insights, working together is key to turning data into direction and uncertainty into clarity.
Through talks and discussions with experienced practitioners, we’ll explore how to adapt research practices to an uncertain future, and how strong user insights, built and shared in teams, can continue to be the foundation for products that endure.
Join us for a Tuesday morning of inspiration, reflection, and connection with the product development community.

Linn-Tove Vindsnes
Luminari
Linn-Tove Vindsnes has worked with data and digital products for over 10 years, from hands-on to strategic, as a web/product analyst, manager and insight director.
She has learned that it is not about how much data we have, but about what questions we ask - and what we do with the answers.
Creating learning that actually makes a difference requires more than analysis. It requires that we dare to work differently tomorrow than we do today, to create the change we want.
With experience from DNB, Finn, Statens Vegvesen and now founding her own advisory company within data and insights, she has a lot to share about how we should approach research and data when working with digital product development.
Join us for an inspiring session with field experts and the BTL community!
We look forward to seeing you there – make sure to reserve your seat in time.
