- 17. What will happen to quality? The median project will be of HIGHER quality Innovative, non-standard or complex problems will still be handled by specialists The weakest link is going to be the sample – which is also true of agencies
- 18. What will happen to MR agencies? Continue to grow in absolute terms But lose share to internal And lose share to non- MR companies The HX pie will grow much faster than the MR part will grow
- 19. What will happen to client insight teams? 1. Some will shrink, following democratisation 2. Some will become assistants to others 3. Some will transform insights to be coaches, arbiters of value, and strategy consultants
- 20. What will happen to trade associations? Live in a world without clear boundaries – Advocacy – Standard setting – Education – Networking – Business opportunities
- 21. What will happen to MR ethics? For commercial research, anonymity is going to be much less common – Informed consent is going to be the new norm – Selling and marketing to participants will be the norm – Social research will need to separate itself from MR
- 22. What should a new market researcher do? 1. Able to understand business questions and needs in the context of human behaviours and beliefs 2. Able to choose and implement a solution from a range of possible option solutions 3. Able to turn the findings from the research into recommendations 4. Able to persuade organisations to implement the recommendations * Focus on using machines when machines can do the job, develop skills in the area where machines can’t do the job
- 23. What is the future of MR? i. The need to understand people will grow ii. The use of tools and approaches to understand people will grow iii. There will be more semioticians, ethnographers, data analysists, strategists, cultural specialists etc iv. But there will be fewer market researchers, doing less ‘market research’
