Each year, the GRIT Report tracks the interest of insights and analytics professionals in a variety of emerging methodologies. It is critically important to understand which of these less established methodologies industry professionals believe can help them survive and thrive moving forward. With the rapid shift to digital in the past year during COVID-19, we see mobile data-collection methods and data analytics rising to the top.

As always, the GRIT Report evolves to reflect changes in the industry. For this iteration, the response choices were modified to allow a more nuanced exploration of the topic and to increase compatibility with other survey sections.

Without further ado, here are the top 5 emerging methods being adopted by researchers.
