Executive Summary

Spending for personas continues to increase, but companies don't use them regularly. Our research uncovered three drivers of persona success: a design process that explicitly incorporates personas, an appropriately developed persona, and organizational buy-in to the use of those personas. But not all companies can immediately master these items. We found that companies advance their persona practice through five levels of maturity: isolated, connected, integrated, absorbed, and immersed. Companies interested in taking their persona efforts to the next level should begin by identifying projects that should use personas, creating a solid research plan, and integrating them into concrete deliverables.
