SUMMARY:ICG Webinar: Your small business meets sustainability
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is generously sponsored by Glow\, powering fast\, affordable and robust consumer research through it’s on-demand insights platform. Whether you need to understand a new category\, get under the skin of a target audience or conduct ongoing tracking\, Glow can provide quality responses\, quickly. Glow’s easy to use platform and real-time data visualisation give you the power to get research right\, and the confidence to act on those insights\, quickly.   \n \n  \nAs business owners\, we constantly seek out ways to run a better business: being more efficient\, avoiding waste\, being a good employer\, making a difference in our communities\, wanting to be recognised as a good brand\, and laying the path to a successful future. Much of this is common sense\, and yet it’s common to find mismatches between our personal values and the work we do. \nAfter realising there was such a mismatch in his own business\, Jon Gibbins has spent nearly 3 years integrating more sustainable and ethical practices into his small digital company. He continues to find more ways to improve his business based on a triple bottom line approach: people\, planet and profit. Pairing his training experience with his passion for addressing the climate emergency\, he now supports other small business owners to do the same. \nThis webinar will discuss the themes of sustainability\, ethical finance and green technology\, and include toolkit suggestions\, helpful advice and achievable changes you can start using today. \nAbout Jon Gibbins \n \n\n  \nJon  is a digital accessibility consultant who helps organisations make digital products more accessible to Disabled people. He’s known for his practical approach and deep technical understanding\, built on two decades of experience. \nConcerned about climate change\, our planet and its people\, he integrates ethical and sustainable practices into his work and supports other small business owners to do the same. \nREGISTER FOR THIS FREE WEBINAR HERE\n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:From breakdown to breakthrough: a lived experience of stress-induced burnout and what SMEs can learn from this
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nThis webinar is generously sponsored by Respondi \n \nWe invite you to join James Pickles in conversation with the ICG; how he got there\, why he burned out\, where he is now\, and what this all means for SMEs today. \nThis webinar will help us recognise and embrace ways of addressing our mental wellness – at work and beyond. \nJames is a personal and performance life coach and mental health advocate who talks very powerfully about his own experience of stress\, burnout and breakdown when he was in a successful and growing company. He is here to share with us some of the valuable\, and sometime painful\, lessons he has learned – and continues to learn – about how admitting that he wasn’t fine\, speaking out and then seeking help\, enabled him to survive\, rebuild and breakthrough to another career as an independent. \nAs he is also now a fellow independent consultant\, running his own small business\, he has a particular perspective to offer the ICG and hopes that\, by telling his story and through this discussion\, you will be encouraged to reflect on your own experiences and ask plenty of questions. Questions that can lead to dialogue\, a recognition and acknowledgement of issues  and a realisation that you don’t have to cope alone. \n \nHe’ll share his full experience of the effects of stress-induced anxiety and offer some insights into what he’s learned\, what he wishes he’d  known\, what advice he would give his old self and how employers and employees and can take ownership of their well-being at work and at home. \nSee here an interview upon which the talk is based: \nhttps://www.significantinsightsmedia.com/how-did-you-get-there-james-pickles/ \nYou’ll have the opportunity to login anonymously if you wish to\, and ask questions via Slido if you wish to remain anonymous. \nREGISTER FOR THIS EVENT HERE  \n  \nThis event is proudly partnered with the MRBA. \n \nThe MRBA exists to provide financial support and advice to individual colleagues experiencing real hardship\, who work or have worked in any aspect of market research\, and who are based in the UK.  This can also include the financial support for those that require mental health services\, that might be too slow or too costly to access as standard.

SUMMARY:Using video insight to empower small agencies and freelancers. Tools\, tips and tricks for effective and commercial research
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is generously sponsored by Web Creator Suite \n   \n  \nUsing video in the market research world comes in many forms\, and with skills in video varying across researchers and agencies\, Dan and Roseann of The Word Is Out (also ICG members) want to share their knowledge in delivering effective and commercial insight with video. \nThis webinar will answer the following; \n\nWhat does best practice for video in research look like? \nHow can I get a client to invest in a video project? \nWhat tools are available to researchers besides online communities? \nHow do we make video insight commercial? \nHow can I be more innovative with video? \n\nWith a rise in remote ethnography in 20/21\, more and more respondents are available to complete online video calls and diary tasks. However\, getting clients and participants engaged and receptive to both remote and in-person video projects can bring its own challenges. \nThe Word Is Out think that there is even more scope to be innovative and creative in our work as researchers. We’re only just scratching the surface on what we can achieve using video. They want to arm fellow freelancers and small agencies with a variety of tips and best practice from their experience in the video industry to put into practice when producing their own creative insight stories. \nAbout The Word Is Out \n \nSpecialists in video-driven\, qualitative insight\, at The Word is Out we fuse our experience in market research and the video industry to deliver engaging and innovative outputs to our clients. We also work with brands and fellow researchers to offer a specialist expansion of videography to their existing team. \n \nREGISTER FOR THIS FREE WEBINAR HERE\n  \nONCE REGISTERED\, LOGIN FOR THE WEBINAR IS: \nICG Webinars \nPlease join my meeting from your computer\, tablet or smartphone.\nhttps://global.gotomeeting.com/join/145863309 \nYou can also dial in using your phone.\nUnited Kingdom: +44 20 3713 5011 \nAccess Code: 145-863-309

SUMMARY:IR35 : Concerned about your status? 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

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
