SUMMARY:Exploring Conjoint Analysis
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is generously sponsored by MIS Group \n \nConjoint Analysis: What is it? How does it work? What does it tell you? \nThis is a hands on session run by ICG member Saul Dobney on how conjoint analysis uses attributes and levels to define virtual products and services\, how these are tested in choice-tasks with consumers\, and how the these choices drive calculations of utility scores and customer value which can be combined into market models for forecasting and product optimisation. \nIf you’ve heard of conjoint analysis but don’t know what it is\, or you’ve used conjoint analysis and want some hints and tips on how to do conjoint analysis better\, then this is the webinar for you. \nSaul Dobney \n \nSaul Dobney is the founder of dobney.com marketing insight and has been running conjoint and trade-off projects for more than 20 years\, developing the Cxoice Survey Software Suite along the way to solve challenges like using conjoint analysis by phone (WATI)\, and to make conjoint analysis more realistic\, developing several new question types along the way. \nREGISTER FOR THIS FREE WEBINAR HERE \ndobney.com marketing insight – https://dobney.com \nConjoint Explorer: https://dobney.com/conjoint-explorer–k130 \nCxoice Software: https://cxoice.com \n

SUMMARY:Using Anthropology in Market Research
DESCRIPTION:Using Anthropology in Market Research with Dr Jonathan Newman\, Deep Research – Thurs 25 Aug \nGenerously sponsored by Indiefield  \n \nAnthropology helps understand how different people know the world in different ways and how they make meaning and act in accordance with their visions of where they are.

SUMMARY:Applications of Behavioural Science to Quantitative Market Research
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is generously sponsored by MIS Group  \n  \nOver the past decade or more\, many market research agencies and their clients have been influenced by findings from behavioural science. In particular\, some agencies have incorporated insights and approaches from behavioural science into their qualitative research offer. \nHowever\, while some have also had similar success in quantitative research\, there remains significant untapped potential here. A huge opportunity exists for clients to improve their ability to understand\, predict\, and influence key stakeholder behaviour – through application of behavioural science insights and approaches to quantitative research. \nThis webinar will provide you with both the theory and tools to rectify this. We’ll first examine behaviour change models in detail. Next\, we’ll look at behavioural economic approaches. Finally\, we’ll cover personality trait insights. \nThis webinar will provide both the rationale for why\, but crucially also the “how to”. Importantly\, everything described will complement existing quantitative research techniques and data collection methods. Therefore\, no significant initial investment is required to put any of these approaches into practice. \nThe webinar will also summarise the highlights from a detailed\, upcoming 35-page guide: Applications of Behavioural Science to Quantitative Market Research. A free copy can be pre-ordered here: https://www.activate-research.com/quantitative-research-guide \nChris Harvey \n \nChris Harvey is the Founder of Activate Research\, which inspires change and drives growth through enabling a deeper understanding of how people think and why they behave as they do. Drawing on an MSc Behavioural Science and 15 years research industry experience\, Activate Research adds complementary insights and approaches from behavioural science – and psychology more broadly – to agencies’ research offer. This enables end clients to better understand\, predict\, and influence target audience behaviour. \n \nREGISTER FOR THIS FREE WEBINAR HERE

SUMMARY:Get Off the Feast & Famine Rollercoaster!
DESCRIPTION:How often do you find yourself riding the feast and famine rollercoaster? \nWorking and busy one month\, but with no work to keep you busy the next month. Time to do more marketing when you’re not busy – and then no time to keep in touch with prospects when you’re busy with clients. \nSound familiar? Time to get off this rollercoaster? \nThen come along to this ICG Webinar at 11am on 27 October 2022. We’ll be joined by Chantal Cornelius\, who has been running Appletree Marketing for over 22 years. She’s run a number of very popular webinars for us in the last few years and she’ll be sharing more of her invaluable knowledge with us. \nChantal does marketing very differently to many other people in her industry. In this webinar she’ll show you a simple way to plan your marketing for 2023\, that will keep you off the feast and famine rollercoaster for next year and beyond. \nHere’s what one of Chantal’s Marketing Research clients said: \n“HUGE thanks again for everything you’ve done over the years\, Chantal. Research Insight is stronger\, more customer-focused and more successful as a result of your advice/input (and cheerful cajoling!) and the excellent work of your team.” \nFormer ICG Member Martin Holliss\, Managing Director\, Research Insight \nChantal Cornelius \n \nChantal set up Appletree Marketing in 2000 and since then has helped hundreds of consultants and trainers to grow their businesses. She provides simple\, practical and down to earth advice to help small businesses to grow. \nShe has written and published two books on marketing and business survival and is regularly asked to speak to groups of businesses on these subjects. Chantal successfully uses her planning techniques to make sure that her business\, and those of all her clients\, stay off the dreaded feast and famine rollercoaster. She can do the same for you too. \nwww.Appletreeuk.com \nREGISTER FOR THIS FREE WEBINAR HERE – OPEN TO ICG MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS

SUMMARY:Emotional Resilience: What Is It And How To Develop It
DESCRIPTION:This webinar has been generously sponsored by Feedback Market Research \n \nIn this webinar\, Keith Mayers\, a Chartered Coaching Psychologist and Organizational Psychologist\, registered with British Psychological Society\, will take us through how we can build our emotional resilience; something which is particularly relevant to micro-business owners\, particularly in today’s economic climate. \nIt has been shown that professionals who work independently may be susceptible to a variety of wellbeing related issues. These can include social isolation\, stress\, anxiety\, life balance\, security\, and self-esteem.  It’s these areas which Keith can help navigate and formulate coping abilities. \nWhat the webinar will cover \n\nWhat it really means to be an Independent Consultant\nSome psychological principles\nApplying these principles to foster resiliency and wellbeing\n1-2 realistic new steps to implement the above\nHow to increase your self-awareness.\n\nAbout Keith \n \nKeith’s journey with this started 11 years ago when he almost lost my life to a very rare auto immune condition\, which put him on the verge of multiple organ failure. After a very long recovery and re-educating himself to become a psychologist\, he made it his purpose to use his education and personal experience to help others with their wellbeing and resiliency. \nKeith is guided by the core belief that even if we lose what we once had physically\, we can still grow intellectually\, mentally\, and emotionally. A challenging life is not necessarily a catastrophic one. We may not live as fully as once did\, but our lives can still have value\, meaning and purpose. We might just have to be more creative in how we find it. \nHe has vast experience in coaching one to one\, group coaching\, workshops\, and presentations-including the Clinical Education Programmes for the NHS. \n \nRegister for this webinar here \nFurther links \nwww.illnesscoach.com \nhttps://www.youtube.com/@IllnessCoach/videos \nkmayers73@aol.com
