Look into Adaptive Path's (www.adaptivepath.com) mental model technique. We
have found it very useful in not only planning the IA (structure) of a site
- but in matching user needs/tasks/goals with functionality - i.e. "what do
users need and what should we give them, rather than what do our
business/marketing folks think they need".

I am fortunate enough to be working on a project that has the
appropriate time and budget for necessary research before building a
large-scale website. The research plan includes online surveys, mail
surveys, phone interviews, contextual inquiry, competitive analysis,
internal proprietary data and usability testing.
Now that I have all of this raw research data, I am having trouble
translating research findings into functional requirements. Can anyone
suggest resources, charts/graphs, documents or other means of outlining
this to the company and client?
Any help is greatly appreciated -
