Editor's Notes
- One dimension of being connected is the connection between marketers and consumers. The Meet the Joneses results reveal that while most marketers think they are pretty connected to consumers, they perform relatively bad on the test. All results of the Meet the Joneses test can be downloaded here: include link to Slideshare presentation on Meet the Joneses . This slide deals with everything we do within the business unit “Exploration and insight generation”, with a strong focus on observational research (ethnography, social media netnography, ...). Next to that, we have a very good understanding of how generation Y thinks and acts via all knowledge we have available on them and included in Joeri’s book. Also the TalktoChange research community allows us to be connected to consumers in more than 35 countries across the globe.
- Now, information has become one of the key productivity factors in business. Organizations depend heavily on knowledge and information, which have become part of their assets. Information is made widely accessible and available through for example, the arrival of the internet. Though information is available, it is harder to retrieve the right kind of information. In organizations, knowledge workers experience this troublesome paradox every day. On the one hand, knowledge workers are dealing with an information overload while on the other hand they experience a lack of information to support him/her with the task at hand. For this reason, structure is needed to deal with information flows in and between organizations, better known as Information Logistics (IL)

- And for sure as with every revolution there will be opponents and drivers of these trends. I leave it up to you which side to chose, but if I would run the MR industry I would focus on the new seedlings that are growing … Creative destruction hurts and means the end for some but a new start for others. The important thing is to actually make it happen not just talk about it … Analyzing all presentations of the latest WARC Online Research conference via text analytics we still notice a lot of traditional topics are still on the agenda! Clearly, many are talking about it, but who is putting the deed to the word?
