helping you master customer insight leadership
Back from holiday, I spent a very enjoyable & informative day at CIM Wales Analytics Masterclass. This event was held at Glamorgan County Cricket Ground (SWALEC Stadium) in Cardiff. A great venue for food & facilities. It was a well organised day, benefitting from the enthusiasm and professionalism of CIM team and Sameer Rahman (organiser & Chairman of CIM Wales). Gavin Davies (Vice Chair of CIM Wales) was master of.. Read More
Continuing our month focussed on book recommendations, let me share one about how the Customer Wins. These topics are not disconnected from last month’s GDPR topic. As we’ve shared before GDPR should be a positive customer benefit. As well as being a business benefit, when approached in the right way, GDPR is at root about empowering people/customers. But, more widely, all is still not well in the CX garden. Despite.. Read More
How does GDPR impact your use of a research panel provider? Last month, we shared various posts related to market research. Balancing our content focussed on data & analytics, with tips & resources for research leaders. This month, with May 25th deadline looming, we have focussed on GDPR.

Either way, there appears to be a real mixture in.. Read More
Listening to a Digital UX Design leader this week, I was struck by how much Insight teams can learn from Design teams. I had the privilege of speaking at a Marcus Evans conference on West India Quay in London. “Optimise User Experience and Digital Design to Increase Customer Centricity for Financial Institutions“. That must be the (crazily) longest event name I’ve ever attended! Anyway, before I shared on softer skills,.. Read More
On this blog we’ve recommended books for analysts, so here are 7 books for market researchers. This eclectic selection is once more contributed by Netquest, thanks to guest blogger Carlos Ochoa. When I first read his post, I couldn’t resist the multi-disciplinary nature of this recommended reading list. On this blog, we regularly advise that insight requires data, analytics & research. So, as well as extolling a broader definition of.. Read More
I didn’t realise consumer research is like fashion, but a webinar helped me see it & value “old staples“. Given topical concerns, about gender balances in work, it was interesting to experience a female bias. Joining a useful webinar, hosted by Quirks and with speakers from 2020 Research, I began to feel out-of-place. Our hosts were women (I’d say younger, but most people are beginning to feel younger to me).. Read More
