In September of 2020 and again in March of this year, ESOMAR joined forces with around two dozen associations worldwide to conduct a global survey of client-side researchers. Its purpose was to improve our understanding of changes in the way brands purchase and use research. The webinar discusses the key findings of this survey. In this session, Michelle Gansle, VP of Global Strategic Insights at McDonald?s, moderate a discussion of these and other issues being faced by clients with two client-side researchers: Barry Jennings, Director, Cloud + Commercial Business Planning Insights at Microsoft, and Nicole Umana, Global Lead, Agile Innovation at Mars Wrigley.

While AI models and data analytics create a world of new possibilities for identifying business insights, they have also created numerous new privacy implications and ethical responsibilities for insights professionals. With International Data Privacy on January 28, 2021, the Canadian Research Insights Council (CRIC) AI & Data Analytics Thought Leadership Council and ESOMAR have organized an online panel of leading data privacy professionals to explore key questions related to privacy in the era of AI and data analytics. The panel will explore the implications of Canada's proposed Digital Charter Implementation Act (Bill C-11), that intends to establish a new privacy law for the private sector and new powers for the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, the role of standards in data governance, transparency of algorithms and decision systems, and ethical implications of data collection and insights generation. The panel will also describe a new guideline being developed by ESOMAR and GRBN for researchers and clients when processing secondary data for research. The panel will be moderated by Briana Brownell, CEO of Pure Strategy AI, and member of CRIC's AI & Data Analytics Thought Leadership Council.
For some time now, market researchers have realized that the volume of behavioral and attitudinal data now being generated, literally on an hourly basis, has the potential to fundamentally change how we help our clients better understand their customers and the markets in which they compete. The technologies and tools required to access, combine, and analyze these data already exist, and marketers and advertisers are using them on a broad scale. But within the market research sector, the promise of so-called 'big data' remains unfulfilled.This webinar will explore these and related issues. We will look at some of the ways in which marketers are taking advantage of the data tsunami to create powerful new insights about consumers. We also will consider the ways in which two values that comprise the foundation of market research -validity and respect for the privacy of those whose data we process- need to be rethought in this new context. Attendees will come away with a renewed sense of what is possible when working with these data, and a clearer perspective on the challenges market researchers face as they transition their work to these new ways of developing insights.
Latest updates and a tool-kit of pragmatic pandemic recommendations.
ESOMAR has joined with our education partner, the Market Research Institute International at the University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education, to deliver a series of education-oriented webinars on some of the most popular topics in the Market Research Core Body of Knowledge.In this first session, we will focus on storytelling in which you will learn about the best story structures for reporting on research, how to determine the story structure that fits your data and your audience, and how to craft a story that inspires change and action. Jeffrey Henning, Executive Director of the MRII, long-time industry blogger, and entrepreneur gave a version of this presentation to a packed room at the Quirk's Event in Brooklyn last month. This webinar is your opportunity to hear an expanded version of Jeffrey's talk and gain practical advice for communicating research results that you can immediately apply in your work.
This paper reviews the key ethical, legal, technical and data quality challenges researchers face when working with these new data sources. Its goal is to start a conversation among researchers aimed at clarifying their responsibilities to those whose data we use in research, the clients we serve and the general public. It uses the term secondary data to mean data collected for another purpose and subsequently used in research. It expands on the traditional definition of secondary data to account for new types and sources of data made possible by new technologies and the Internet. It is used here in place of the popular but often vague term, big data, and is meant to include data from various sources, such as transactions generated when people interact with a business or government agency; postings to social media networks and the Internet of Things (IOT). It is distinct from primary data, meaning data collected by a researcher from or about an individual for the purpose of research.
After almost two decades of continued growth, the debate still continues on which key factors impact online sample quality. Here are some key steps that researchers and their clients can take to improve sampling quality when developing sampling processes ranging from online panels to routers to exchanges.
The drumbeat of "change" in market research is everywhere. Wherever you look, whatever conference you attend and whatever you read, the message is the same: Change is here; change is real; and it is going to affect you and your businessâ. Often, this leads to the question "What does this mean for talent?", which is frequently misinterpreted to mean "What type of new talent do we need and how do we train them?". But what if it's not about us searching for new talent, but new talent ?nding us? And what if it's not about us training them, but them training us? Ask yourself this: why did over 200 new entrepreneurs enter the research and analytics space in 2012 alone? Here we explore the research talent of the future and what that implies for research itself.
