SUMMARY:Knowledge Share: Shopper Research
DESCRIPTION:This Knowledge Share session has been generously sponsored by E-Tabs\, bringing cutting edge automated charting for your projects in PowerPoint & Google Slides \nThis session is designed to give a flavour of what shopper research is all about for those fairly new to the topic\, who may be asked to consider this approach by their clients.  There are always new things to learn\, changes in consumer behaviour\, and a myriad of products on offer\, so more experienced researchers are welcome to join\, but it will be kept at a fairly introductory level given the short amount of time.  It will briefly cover different approaches and their merits\, eye-tracking and a few practical hints and tips that may be helpful in field.  It would be lovely to pass on some insights that may save another poor soul from freezing in the chiller aisle or getting footsore as they run back and forth in a massive Tesco!  So do join this session if it sounds like you may find it useful. \nNanda Marchant \n \nNanda is a qualitative consultant with a long track record.  Beginning her research career at a full service London agency\, she went on to head up customer satisfaction studies at Barclaycard and then marketing roles at Barclays\, before taking the plunge as a freelancer 20 years ago.  Though specialising in finance early on\, as many consultants will testify\, they can apply their expertise to many different topics.  So\, in recent years she has also built a wealth of knowledge in shopper research\, having haunted many a biscuit aisle and bustling bread counter to bring brands an insight into how their customers think\, browse and purchase. \nwww.addedinsight.co.uk \n \n  \nREGISTER FOR THIS SESSION HERE

SUMMARY:Introduction to AMSR - a free resource for storytelling and bringing context to research and insights
DESCRIPTION:Please join ICG member Judith Staig for this webinar. \n \nTim Harford advises that\, when we see a number\, we should ask ‘is that a big number?’ One of the ways we can answer that question is to look at recent history. For example\, is the interest rate high? Only when compared with the last few years – back in November 1979\, it was 17%. \nThis webinar will introduce you to the AMSR – a fantastic free resource for researchers. The AMSR curates post-war market research projects\, papers\, and publications and is full of nuggets of gold that will help you put context around today’s markets\, find data to spin stories around and bring your insights to life. \nThe webinar uses the three recent AMSR publications to showcase stories about key issues of our time such as women at work\, sustainability\, diversity and inclusion\, inflation and referendums\, as well as to report on the changes and developments we have seen in our industry. Link to publications here \nWhat will I learn? You will know how to use the AMSR for your own research and also what you can do to become involved with what is one of the foremost and most valuable charitable endeavours in our industry. \nJudith Staig \n \nJudith is a writer and content strategist working in the research and insights sector. She helps AMSR with marcomms as a volunteer. \nREGISTER FOR THIS WEBINAR HERE \nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/judith-staig-993153/ \n \nAMSR home

SUMMARY:Knowledge Share: Making Introversion Work
DESCRIPTION:This Knowledge Share has been generously sponsored by Opinion Hub \nThis Knowledge Share will be presented by Carol Raithatha\, Carol Raithatha Ltd.  \nIntroverts as compared to be extroverts can be defined as people who are more reflective\, prefer calm and quiet environments\, and get their energy from spending time alone. They may also be shy or reserved. This is at odds with our business environment which focuses on action\, speed\, networking\, and self-promotion. Being an introvert and a consultant can be difficult. But introverts have much to offer. \nThis Knowledge Share session will discuss a few typical ‘troubling’ type situations for introverts and suggest tips for working through those\, both from the point of view of an introverted person and from someone who is collaborating with introverts. We will finish off the session with a brief look at how tailored coaching can help introverts flourish at work. \nCarol Raithatha  \n \nCarol is the Director of Carol Raithatha Limited\, a consultancy specialising in food and drink research\, sensory evaluation\, qualitative and desk research\, and B2B approaches. In addition\, Carol Raithatha Limited offers coaching to research and related professionals. Carol is a strategic thinker with a pragmatic mindset.
