SUMMARY:Using reporting innovations to come out of Covid stronger and with greater profit margins
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is generously sponsored by Perspective Research Services \nWith thanks to E-Tabs for running this webinar. \n \nThere is an increasing demand for interactive access to survey results\, and many clients are asking for secure and instant visualization of their data online to complement or even replace static reports of their survey results.

SUMMARY:ICG Webinar (Pre-Recorded): TSAPI - Your Questions Needed!
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

SUMMARY:Making The Most Of Interpreters In International Research
DESCRIPTION:All too often in the market research industry\, interpreting is an underused  and undervalued tool in the market research tool box\, being seen as just a bridge to cover the language gap. The  process of finding and briefing an interpreters is also often patchy. \nIt can – and should be –  a whole lot more than this. Using the right interpreters in the right way can add significantly to your project. \nIn this webinar\, ICG member Iris Griffiths\, a qualitative market research consultant\, experienced conference interpreter and translator and a teacher of  interpreting and translation modules for universities and courses\, will take us through; \n\nhow to improve and optimise the quality of the interpreting in international research projects  when working with interpreters in-person\, remotely or in hybrid situation.\nThe best way of briefing an interpreter to make sure you make the most of the interpreter as a tool to get more insights for your market research project.\nInterpreting from the interpreter’s point of view: what impacts on the quality of the interpreter’s output.\n\nShe will also talk about  Simultaneous Interpreting (RSI)  and the changes in the interpreting industry which can be a benefit or a threat for market research projects. What are the advantages/disadvantages  of having an interpreter “live” at a viewing facility  vs. working remotely? There are many RSI platforms in the market that will enable researchers to get a bit more control of how they work with interpreters in the project. \nREGISTER FOR THIS WEBINAR HERE

SUMMARY:ICG Webinar: Accelerating your storytelling skills: How to transform research summaries into a captivating narrative
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is generously sponsored by Taurho Transcribes \nThis webinar  conducted by Insight Narrator\, a specialist in helping insight professionals create evidence-based stories. \n \nThe difference between insight and recommendations that stick and spread throughout the client organisation and just another interesting research report that sits on the client server has rarely anything to do with the quality of the work itself\, but the quality of how that work is communicated. That is why Insight Narrator are supporting the ICG community by providing this webinar on how to accelerate your storytelling skills. \nStorytelling regularly features on the must-have list of skills for research professionals and client wish-lists from their partners. Whilst great visualisation and use of multimedia in your project outputs can add interest and variety to keep your stakeholders engaged\, in reality it can be very time consuming to produce – time that we don’t often have if we want to meet our deadlines. \nIf you want to showcase the brilliance of your insight and grab stakeholder attention immediately\, as well as producing the story quickly\, you need to put your best story efforts into your executive summary.   In this 60 minute webinar Caroline Florence\, Founder and Director at Insight Narrator will share her secrets to creating a compelling narrative in your executive summary\, provide the anatomy of a great insight story\, and share a framework to help you to convert the narrative into engaging copy. \n \nREGISTER FOR THIS FREE WEBINAR HERE

SUMMARY:Upskill: Future-proof your market research career using semiotics
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is generously sponsored by Talkback Studios\, Nottingham – Celebrating 20 years of supporting the qualitative research industry. \nWe are delighted to have Dr Rachel Lawes presenting this important webinar. \nMarketing is changing. Market research is changing with it: this was true even before the pandemic. Clients think they can do their own research in-house. They are by-passing the traditional interviewer. They are no longer impressed with long market research reports\, they want quick answers. If you are a market researcher\, especially if you are an independent without the security of a large organisation behind you\, this can be very scary. How will you stay relevant and stay in business? \nThere are some bright aspects to this landscape. The marketing industry has become quite good at collecting ‘things’ (attitude statements\, videos of people’s homes\, photos of their possessions) direct from consumers using digital tech. But the question arises of what to do with them. Most brand owners don’t have a clue what to do with qualitative data\, especially visual materials. What’s more\, the ability to have new ideas about marketing strategy is never going to go out of style. Here is where you can solve a problem for the people who used to buy market research and are now doing it themselves. \nBut wait – where are you going to get this near-magical ability to find original insights in qualitative data that other market researchers can’t see? And how are we suddenly going to become experts on marketing strategy when the entire MR industry has traditionally been focused on discussing consumers rather than businesses? The answer is found in semiotics. It is not just a research method but a quite large set of tools for thinking and generating new ideas. Now\, for the first time\, there’s a book on semiotics written especially for marketers\, which takes you through the entire business cycle of semiotic research\, from conception to commercial application. It’s a self-contained course that anyone with a basic grasp of marketing can use to teach themselves and set themselves apart with robust skills. Best of all\, there’s no requirement to physically go out and spread coronavirus among consumers. \nAre you ready? The book “Using Semiotics in Marketing” will boost and future-proof your career in market research and this webinar\, developed exclusively for the ICG\, is where your journey begins. \nREGISTER TODAY\nAbout Rachel \n \nDr Rachel Lawes is a social psychologist specializing in the interface between individuals and consumer culture. She has supplied brand strategy and consumer insight\, using social psychology\, semiotics and discourse analysis\, to brands in 20 countries\, mainly via Lawes Consulting Ltd (established in 2002). Her academic career started with a PhD from Loughborough University’s internationally renowned Discourse and Rhetoric Group and recent academic positions include that of Principal Lecturer in Marketing at Regent’s University London. For more than 10 years she has convened the Advanced Qualitative Methods Masterclass for the Market Research Society in the UK. Her extensive publishing history includes over 40 conference papers at the annual conferences of the Market Research Society\, ESOMAR\, IIEX\, Qual360\, the Social Research Association\, QRCA (USA)\, AQR (UK)\, ASMRS (Australia)\, Social Intelligence World and many more. Her writing spans marketing industry trade journals\, academic publishing in psychology and market research\, and journalism. She is the author of some of the most well-known methods papers and case studies in semiotics\, including ‘Demystifying semiotics’ (2002)\, ‘Futurology through semiotics’ (2009) and ‘Rebranding Charmin’ (2011). She is recognized as one of the original founders of British commercial semiotics and is known for her engaging style and ability to make difficult concepts and theory accessible to non-academic audiences. Rachel is a Certified Member of the Market Research Society. \nRachel’s new book\, ‘Using Semiotics in Marketing’ (2020) is the first book to set out a step-by-step course in semiotics for marketers. It is available worldwide from Amazon and Kogan Page. \n  \n

SUMMARY:ICG 'Speed Dating' 4
DESCRIPTION:Following on from the success of our first three ‘speed dating’ events\, we are thrilled to be running a fourth one. \nOpen to the first 30 ICG members who register\, this event has two key purposes; \n\nGet to know other ICG members in virtual ‘rooms’ for 10 minutes at a time. A great opportunity to say hi\, put a face to a name\, and learn more about each others’ businesses\, personalities\, likes/dislikes….whatever!\nExperience first-hand the online research platform\, HT Face\, thanks to the generosity of ICG member Arthur Fletcher who co-owns it and is loaning this to us for this event. Note that HT Face offers ICG member a discount when hiring it.\n\nDon’t delay in registering. We usually have a waiting list. First 30 registrants only. \nA full set of instructions about how to use the software and how to navigate your way around will be sent to you a couple of days before the event . We will also be sending your room schedule around this time. Have this to hand during the session. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:The ICG P.I.T.A Meet Ups - Sorting Your Business Problems
DESCRIPTION:THERE ARE TWO P.I.T.A MEET-UPS PLANNED FOR NOW 1) THURS 7TH MAY\, NOON-1PM AND 2) MON 11TH MAY\, 7-8PM. CLICK BELOW ON THE REGISTRATION LINK FOR THE SESSION YOU’D LIKE TO ATTEND. WE WILL TAKE 10 MEMBERS AT EACH SESSION. \n  \nGot any niggly\, annoying\, would-rather-not-have business\, Pain In The Arse (PITA) problems? Those things that you’d rather have someone take away\, or at least show you an easy way of sorting them\, but as a solo business owner\, you have to deal with yourself? \nThen the ICG is here to help! Introducing you to our PITA meet-ups.\nJoin us for these virtual get-togethers with a small number of other ICG members and together we’ll brainstorm or share ideas for how to solve those PITA issues.   \nPITA meet-ups are an 8-10 person informal zoom-style get together designed to problem solve… \nWhat’s required? You need to have a Pain In The Arse problem that the other attendees can help you with.  Might be you think your powerpoint slides are a bit old-school\, might be you are rubbish at doing your accounts and expenses and want advice\, could be a tech problem\, or a GDPR thing… \nEveryone will bring their problem to the table\, and together we’ll help each other solve that problem! \nSESSION ONE THURSDAY 7TH MAY 12-1PM: Register here \nSESSION TWO MONDAY 11TH MAY 7-8PM: Register here \nFirst come\, first served. You bring the wine\, we’ll bring the snacks. \n  \nWith special thanks to ICG member Tom Woodnutt for suggesting we run these events.
