Presentation given as part of the IIeX APAC conference in Sydney, Dec 2014. Instead of attempting to upskill market researchers or integrate data science into MR operations, what if we could translate big data into what researchers know and love -- raw data?
Synopsis: In the ocean of data that surrounds and floods commercial organisations it’s time to question, what is ‘rich’ data? How can we better enable businesses to make sense of it & build strategies that drive growth. Technology has already enabled us to generate more data, this session discusses how it can be leveraged to help us to find deeper insights by connecting data with greater efficiency. Ultimately providing a framework to convert what has become a constant stream of consumer consciousness into useful, reliable and actionable outcomes for our clients.
5. Big data is like teenage sex:
everyone talks about it,
nobody really knows how to
do it, everyone thinks
everyone else is doing it, so
everyone claims they are
doing it...
Dan Ariely
Behavioural Economist
7. We are working in an increasingly competitive, fragmented
and risky environment
The road ahead has never been less clear
THE CONTEXT
8. Never has there been as
much ‘data’ available to us
• Primary research
• Business intel
• Transactional
• Customer
THE CHALLENGE
• Loyalty
• Ratings
• Web analytics
• Social listening
9. THE INSIGHT
Ultimately we need to ‘connect the dots’ in an efficient and
most importantly, meaningful way
That means applying validated thinking frameworks to explain
the complexity of human behaviour…Quickly
10. Embrace the power of innovation when it comes to data
collection, but more importantly collide thinking with
technology
Quickly discover the story, based on an iterative and
customised view of the consumer
