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  URL:https://theicg.co.uk/event/how-can-lego-serious-play-be-used-in-qualitative-market-research-3/ ORGANIZER;CN="Sally Alsop":MAILTO:webinars@theicg.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20211028T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20211028T120000 DTSTAMP:20260419T004753 CREATED:20211028T100000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211028T100000Z UID:30252-1635418800-1635422400@theicg.co.uk SUMMARY:How To Make Networking Work For You (On and Offline) DESCRIPTION:This webinar is generously sponsored by Perspective Research Services  \n \nIn this interactive webinar\, ICG member Deanne Gold\, iPoint Market Research\, who successfully networks herself and has presented several talks on the subject\, will talk us through what it means to network\, what to do/avoid\, how to successfully mesh on and offline interactions\, and specifically\, how to apply this to the market research industry. \nWe encourage attendees to share their stories and thoughts during this session. \n  \nAbout Deanne/ iPoint  \nDeanne\, together with her husband and business partner Marc\, run iPoint and are both ICG members. iPoint Market Research is a dedicated team of fieldwork recruiters and project managers with a passion for excellence. \n  \nREGISTER FOR THIS FREE INTERACTIVE WEBINAR HERE – OPEN TO ICG MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS \n  \nOnce you’ve registered\, login for this webinar is https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/145863309 \n  URL:https://theicg.co.uk/event/how-to-make-networking-work-for-you-3/ LOCATION:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: ORGANIZER;CN="Sally Alsop":MAILTO:webinars@theicg.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20211014T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20211014T120000 DTSTAMP:20260419T004753 CREATED:20211014T100000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211014T100000Z UID:30251-1634209200-1634212800@theicg.co.uk SUMMARY:This Too Shall Pass: Navigating Change with a Sense of Humour 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.

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.

What are the solutions? RECORDING DESCRIPTION:This webinar is generously sponsored by Talkback Studio\, Nottingham \nFollowing on from the success of her last webinar to us\, Liz Norman of Elizabeth Norman International (ENI)\, will take us through the latest developments in IR35 regulation and outline what this means for us as small businesses. \nAbout IR35 \nIR35 legislation already exists within the public sector.  The government intended it to include the private sector from April 2020 but postponed it because of the pandemic; it’s now scheduled for April the 6th 2021. \nLiz Norman ENI\, and Tina Holt JT HR Solutions\, will talk about what the legislation covers\, the changes to the contract market that will result and possible solutions for individual contractors. \nAs the legislation still isn’t statute there is a very small possibility of further delay\, however most think it’s inevitable.  The cost to the government of delaying is £1.9 billion a year.  So now is the time to think what this means for you and the best way to approach working as a contractor moving forward. \nWATCH THE WEBINAR HERE  \n  \nLiz Norman – ENI \n \nLiz had a short career as a ‘market researcher’\, in truth more of a market analyst – there was confusion with job titles even then!  Working first for IBM\, part of a small market research team\, looking at whether IBM should go into the PC market and then for Media Audits (then a competitor of Ebiquity) conducting campaign analysis. \nLiz then joined a small marketing recruitment firm\, setting up their market research division\, before setting up ENI specialising in recruitment across the insight industry in 1989. \nWorking across a wide variety of clients\, including large manufacturers\, advertising and media agencies and a variety of research agencies\, ENI eventually branched out into international markets with offices in Asia and Australia. \nToday ENI’s recruitment is 80% permanent\, but the 20% contract and temp market is growing steadily with our longest established contractor working for us continuously now for five years.  ENI’s continues to work across a range of clients and countries.  We currently have contractors working for Samsung\, PepsiCo\, Kantar\, Relish\, Hall and Partners\, and 2cv. \nA member of APSCO the professional body representing the recruitment industry\, Liz has taken their legal advice as well as the advice of individual lawyers on IR35 and its implications. \nTina Holt – JT HR Solutions \n \nTina Holt of JT HR Solutions Limited is an HR Expert who for 20+ years worked within two major global oil and gas/technical engineering recruitment businesses as a Global HR Director.  In 2018 Tina established JT HR Solutions to bring the HR knowledge and expertise gained in a global recruitment business into the SME market.  JT HR Solutions work predominantly within the recruitment sector\, supporting SME’s who require HR support and guidance with their people strategy as well as their people related issues. \n  URL:https://theicg.co.uk/event/whats-the-latest-with-ir35-regulation-and-how-will-it-affect-you-3/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:ICG Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: ORGANIZER;CN="Sally Alsop":MAILTO:webinars@theicg.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201217T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201217T120000 DTSTAMP:20260419T004753 CREATED:20210225T102426Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210225T102426Z UID:30209-1608202800-1608206400@theicg.co.uk SUMMARY:ICG Training: Comfort and Delusion in Perpetuating Racism DESCRIPTION:This session was kindly sponsored by Web Creator Suite and Teneo Translations \nTHIS SESSION TOOK PLACE IN DECEMBER 2020. A SHORT SUMMARY OF IT IS HERE.  \nIF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE THE FULL RECORDING OF THE SESSION (£10)\, CONTACT LUCIE ON MANAGER@THEICG.CO.UK \n  \nChris Arning of Creative Semiotics Ltd  and Asif Noorani of Epiphany Productions\, will take ICG members through a session to encourage better awareness and empathy when dealing with issues around racism in their work and lives. Chris and Asif are communication professionals who come with a unique background – effectively they are both inside and outside of mainstream white British culture which means that they won’t duck the issues but will come at it with a nuance and sensitivity that transcends the unhelpfully polarised nature of mainstream media discourse. \nMore tangibly\, the uniqueness of the session will the fact they will weave together and share their own experiences\, and then ground these in a specialist knowledge of Semiotics and Behavioural Economics\, finally opening up the discussion for participants’ own experiences and thoughts. \nThe session will not just be educational but should lead to commercial benefits that include: \n\nBetter\, less biased overall decision making by overcoming Comfort and Delusion\nEncourage awareness across all aspects of business (clients\, colleagues\, respondents)\nHigher value derived from more collaborative\, diverse projects and organisations.\nEnsure more inclusive communication that caters to and attracts more diversity\nCan lead to the ICG publishing a diversity policy that shows its commitment to this.\n\nOur speakers will be setting out two hypotheses about how racist thinking becomes perpetuated in well-meaning people\, each rooted in an area of expertise. The Comfort Hypothesis\, rooted in behavioural economics and The Delusion Hypothesis rooted in semiotics.   What you’re getting in this session is the distillation of combined 40 years work in each of these areas. The speakers also bring their background and lived experience not only as British People of Colour\, but as private school educated insight professionals\, and self-employed consultants. Their methodology and approach will be challenging while constructive (not accusatory)\, conceptual but personal\, and above all human\, since no panaceas exist for this. \nThis will be more than just a webinar to raise awareness\, awareness is higher than it has ever been. Though there are no easy fixes though we will learn about immediate steps we can take to identify\, acknowledge and overcome the empathy gap\, address it and start to nudge behaviours. \nAbove all our speakers look forward to sharing knowledge but also learning from your experiences in and around this still taboo societal issue. \nChris Arning  \n \nChris the son of a Caribbean born mother and Anglo-Irish-German father born in Manchester. Chris is Brit-ish and grew up in London politically black but was raised culturally white\, which was confusing and which if he’d been born in another country might have led to the Presidency. In the UK he has had to settle for being a ‘poor man’s Richard Ayoade! Chris writes poetry\, does stand-up comedy\, runs Creative Semiotics\, teaches Contextual Studies and is a member of #HipHopEd. He has conducted semiotic studies on cultural identity for the BBC including for 1Xtra. He recently reviewed #BlackOutTuesday responses for trends house Canvas 8 and has been writing and blogging on race and representation since the #BlackLivesMatter movement. \nAsif Noorani \n \nAsif Noorani is the son of immigrant Pakistani Muslim parents.  Growing up in Manchester\, he managed to disappoint everyone by not becoming a doctor.  His lived experience of the  second-generation culture clash\, fed an appetite to embrace the unknown\, find patterns of meaning and share stories through film.  Asif heads up Epiphany Productions where as a behavioural economist and storyteller he has worked with organisations including NHS\, BBC\, Home Office\, Arts Council\, and the Digital Democracy Commission to explore and tackle diversity and inclusion challenges. The burning question in all his work right now is whether after the pandemic and George Floyd’s killing\, we will make good on our good intentions? \n  URL:https://theicg.co.uk/event/icg-comfort-delusion-racism-3/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:ICG Event ORGANIZER;CN="Sally Alsop":MAILTO:webinars@theicg.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201210T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201210T120000 DTSTAMP:20260419T004753 CREATED:20201028T121136Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201028T121136Z UID:30211-1607598000-1607601600@theicg.co.uk SUMMARY:Cyber Security For Your Small Business DESCRIPTION:We are grateful to Marsworth Computing for running this webinar for us\, designed to highlight what you need to do to remain 100% cyber secure.

DESCRIPTION:Calling all ICG members to send questions (however challenging) to Matt Gibbs directly\, or ICG Manager Lucie (if you prefer to be anonymous to Matt)\, in order to shape the content of this pre-recorded webinar. Final deadline for questions – Friday 4th Sept. Webinar will be available to view on Monday 14th Sept. \nThe ICG recently helped launch a new initiative to create an API standard for Transferring Survey data – TSAPI.  Since launch ICG members have asked several interesting questions and generally wanted more information about the initiative.  The launch video can be viewed here. \nThe TSAPI initiative is currently in its first consultation period\, and Matt Gibbs (ICG member and core TSAPI team) is very keen to include independents and micro businesses in that discussion.  Matt will answer any questions ICG members have about TSAPI in an upcoming webinar.  Webinar content will be defined by ICG member questions\, so please send any queries and ideas you have to Matt or Lucie (if you prefer to stay anonymous to Matt) by Friday 4th September.  No matter how general or specific\, Matt will consult with the TSAPI team and answer as best he can. \nA webinar for everyone – not just for quantitative researchers \nThis session is not just for quant techies\, but should be of interest to everyone.  It’s an opportunity for us all understand more about the non-profit initiative\, to share our ideas\, and discuss how it might influence the future of market researching practice.  As Matt says\, from coders to clients TSAPI needs your ideas and support.  Everybody’s welcome! \nThe TSAPI initiative was launched globally on the 5th of August\, via the Australian National MR Conference\, in the UK via the Association for Survey Computing (ASC)\, the Market Research Society (MRS)\, Independent Consultants Group (ICG)\, and Research Live.  Then on US time via Quirk’s Media and publicised by MRweb. \nAbout Matt Gibbs \n \nMatt is Managing Director and Founder of Bayes Price – offering data connection\, analysis\, visualisation and insight to the market research and business intelligence communities. \nHe is keen to promote innovation and collaboration throughout the industry\, not least by participating in\, and helping to organise national and international conferences.  He’s an ICG member\, part of the core TSAPI development team\, a full member of the Market Research Society\, an active member of The Australian Research Society\, and sits as Vice Chair on the committee for the Association for Survey Computing (ASC). \nMatt combines a Masters in Sociological Research Methods with over 15 years’ experience in professional Market Research.  He enjoys merging established theory with contemporary technique\, finding solutions which offer more for less\, and is very keen to add to the conversation at any industry event with a good bar.  Should that conversation move beyond data and into the realms of music and/or cricket\, more’s the pleasure. \n Presentation slides/webinar recording will be available here by Monday 14th Sept \n  URL:https://theicg.co.uk/event/icg-webinar-pre-recorded-tsapi-your-questions-needed-3/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:ICG Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
