One of the key topics that is buzzing around the world of market research and insights is automation. Everybody is aware that automation is happening, that it will make things faster and cheaper, but people are unsure what the impact will be on them personally and on quality.
To try and answer that question Ray Poynter and I, with the generous sponsorship of ZappiStore, have prepared a report on Automation & AI in the market research industry today and what we expect to see in the future.
We developed this report by drawing on industry and published resources, some new research, and the crowdsourced thinking of industry gurus such as: Stan Sthanunathan (Executive Vice President – Consumer & Market Insights at Unilever), Sue York (Author), Pravin Shekar (Krea), Joan Lewis (former Global Officer & SVP Consumer & Market Knowledge at P&G), John Puleston (LightSpeed GMI), Fiona Blades (MESH Experience), and Stan Knoops (Global Head of Insight at IFF).
The report contains facts, information, and predictions – in fact something for everybody. The report does include some concerns, for example about the impact on employment and the challenges that suppliers and buyers will have in maintaining and enhancing quality, but overall the report is positive about Automation and its close associate Artificial Intelligence.
To give you a sense of how we see Automation, here are the thoughts we share at the end of the report:
Automation is happening. It will continue to happen, and it will change the way you work. Market research automation and AI have the opportunity to expand the role of evidence-based decision making – faster/cheaper research facilitates new ways of working, moving away from the ‘big project’ approach to an agile, learning approach.
In the past, automation has mostly impacted manual or junior staff. In the future it will affect senior and creative staff too. There will be winners and losers – but you want to be one of the winners.
The best place to be is in creating, implanting, or using automation. The worst is in doing the same thing you were doing five years ago.
If you want a one-stop-shop approach to being briefed on Automation then this report, sponsored by ZappiStore, is just what you have been looking for.
