SUMMARY:Why Cultural Insight Is Important For Research
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis webinar is generously sponsored by MIS Group \n \n  \nThis webinar will be presented by ICG member Felicia Schwartz\, China Insight. \nIt will explore the crossover between two areas Felicia is active in – cultural insights and market research. Although we often use market research to uncover cultural insight it is interesting to explore whether we shouldn’t integrate culture into the design of research from inception on. Felicia  routinely come across briefs that make assumptions or ask questions that are not culturally right for my region (greater China) or that miss cultural nuance when pulling together the analysis. \nAlthough her examples will all be taken from China\, she hopes others will share other cultural examples so that everyone can think together about integrating cultural nuance into our research projects and about how to make clients more alive to this topic. \nEMAIL HERE TO REGISTER FOR THIS FREE WEBINAR  \n  \nUPDATED LOGIN FOR THE WEBINAR \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/89623746113?pwd=NUwvRlE3bWZET05hV3V0UjhGVHhhdz09 \nMeeting ID: 896 2374 6113 \nPasscode: 563055 \n  \nAbout Felicia \n \nFelicia has pursued an international career in branding working for global communication agencies Ogilvy and Dentsu. Her work took her from France to China\, where she spent close to 14 years and specialized in strategic planning and consumer insights. \nCurrently based in between Beijing and London\, Felicia is the founder of Chinainsight.co.uk an insight consultancy that helps brands and companies understand the Chinese consumer through cultural insight research and maximize their product positioning\, product innovation and communication for the Chinese market. She has experience across a number of sectors such as automobile\, beauty fast moving consumer goods\, luxury and retail. \nFelicia is a graduate with Dean’s list merits\, from Duke University in North Carolina\, USA.  She obtained her Master’s degree from Sciences Po\, the prestigious Institute of Political Science in Paris\, France. \nShe speaks fluent German\, English\, French and Mandarin Chinese. \n  \nRecent Published articles:  \nBEAUTY TRENDS AMONGST CHINA’S GENZ\nPublication date : MAY 2021  published by : Canvas8 \nChina’s GenZ are the cohort leading trends in beauty post Covid.

DESCRIPTION:This webinar is generously sponsored by Qualzy (formerly Web Creator Suite)\, a platform which supports all your asynchronous project needs including diary tasks\, UX research\, video blogging\, international projects\, long term communities and much much more. \n \n  \nWe live in an ever-changing world and most of us fear change\, so how do we survive? \nWe are faced with Covid\, Brexit\, climate change and a re-emergence of ABBA (wait\, is that relevant?)\, and somehow\nwe try make sense of it all. \nIn this session  Greg Arthur\, Transformation Coach\, Lifeology\, provides you with practical tips and guides that will not only help your business navigate change\, but\, more importantly\, it will give you tools to be more change resilient. \n \nAbout Greg \n \nGreg started adult life out of integrity with himself and in a career he had no interest in\, and so has seen the value in striving for authenticity in all that we are and do. \nThis quest to guide people towards their truth\, whatever it may be\, has led him to be a coach\, mentor and change agent. He works in companies and with individuals to help improve self-esteem and productivity and to neutralise\nstigma\, both internally and externally\, as well as navigating them through change. \nHis path has been varied\, providing him with business and project management experience\, as well many years in Corporate Social Responsibility\, where he discovered the joy and skill involved in marrying the needs of communities and projects with corporate donors. \nHe has learnt that compassion and empathy are key to understanding the stories and needs of those you wish to assist. He now offers his  time to peer mentor people living with HIV. \nOriginally from South Africa\, he is now based in London and runs his own business\, Lifeology\, with his best friend.\nHe is a keen runner and swimmer (these help him to clear his mind)\, a casual yogi and love a good book. You will also catch him often out of London as he feeds his curiosity about culture and the world through travel. \n  \n  \nREGISTER FOR THIS FREE WEBINAR HERE – OPEN TO ICG MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS\n  \nJoining link for webinar is https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/145863309

SUMMARY:How can LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® be used in qualitative market research?
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is generously sponsored by iPoint Market Research.  \n  \nJoin us to hear from Per Kristiansen\, a Master Trainer and co-founder of LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and ICG member Giulia Fabrizi\, a certified practitioner of this method. \nPer will explain the scientific foundations of the method and Giulia will take you through some interesting applications of the method for qualitative market research (business and consumer). \n \nMore specifically\, this webinar will take you through; \n\nThe neuroscientific foundation of LSP. The foundations of the method are inspired by several theories including Piaget’s constructivism\, Papert’s constructionism and neuroscience. In extreme synthesis\, when you build with your own hands\, you activate connections between hand and mind that can awaken knowledge; this knowledge allows you to see a situation from a different point of view and offers new elements to face and manage it\, drawing on the enormous wealth of skills and competences that are not always used\, following the patterns of experience.\nLSP as a business and consumer tool.  LSP can help teams t analyze the brand vision and the brand/company DNA. LSP can also help consumers uncover the values they associate with the brand/company. It can be also applied to so many other requirements\, e.g. customer or patient journeys\,  support in NPD or service development\, or store layout development.\n\nPer Kristiansen \nPer Kristiansen is currently a partner in Trivium\, a Copenhagen based consultancy. He joined Trivium in 2006. Per focuses on LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and delivers facilitator training programs and works directly with his own clients. He works all over the world. Together with Robert Rasmussen\, he is the author of the book “Building a Better Business with the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method”\, published in July 2014. For information on the LSP courses\, visit: https://seriousplay.training/ \nGiulia Fabrizi \nGiulia Fabrizi is a qualitative market researcher and ICG member\, working in this field since more than 20 years. She loves to connect various disciplines and explore new fields in which qualitative research can be blended and infused. \nMORE ABOUT LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® \nREGISTER FOR THIS FREE WEBINAR HERE – OPEN TO ICG MEMBERS AND NON MEMBERS  \n  \nLogin on the day is https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/145863309 \n\n
