In this episode of the UX Research Club, Dr Emmanuelle Savarit introduces her new book, The UX Research Powerhouse: The Foundation of Strategic Leadership. She shares why she wrote this book, who it is designed to support, and how years of experience, patterns, and leadership lessons shaped the tools and frameworks inside it.

Emmanuelle reads a selected excerpt from the author's notes, offering listeners a first look into the themes of strategic influence, business alignment, and the evolution of UX Research beyond usability testing. She also reflects on the shift from practitioner to leader and on how researchers can strengthen their impact across organisations as they navigate digital and AI transformation.

If you’re a researcher, manager, or product leader seeking to elevate the role of UX Research in your organisation, this episode is a perfect starting point.
