Managing Unique and Emerging Themes as a Research Team

Introducing Delve’s Code Pages

When analyzing qualitative research, synthesizing as a team drives alignment and buy-in. Collaborative analysis can help you find insights that you may miss on your own. Furthermore, as a team you can divide and conquer, enabling you to get research done faster.

Managing unique and emerging themes collaboratively is difficult.

The logistics alone can make it prohibitively complicated. I personally love Affinity Mapping with Post-It notes but it requires finding a time and place for all team members to meet. And it’s awful for remote workers. Other digital tools for qualitative analysis are not well suited for collaboration. Word and Excel were not built with qualitative analysis in mind. And emailing and merging antiquated CAQDAS (Computer Assisted/Aided Qualitative Data Analysis Software) files waste time.

We’re launching Code Pages to make it even easier for teams to collaboratively manage emerging themes.

We created Delve to help researchers drive impact by fostering team alignment around research. With Delve, whenever a team member finds a new theme, they can tag the corresponding quotes with a new code and include their initial thoughts. That code will in real-time sync to your browser. You can open the code page to see your team members code definition, along with all the corresponding quotes. This allows you to quickly understand what that code means, and start using it yourself.

Collaboratively iterating on your analysis will align your team around your research findings.

You can tie all your synthesis quickly to the raw data. And when you present to your stakeholder, you can standby your insights.
