The GRIT report is a comprehensive and exploratory map of the insights industry, covering the most up-to-date topics crucial in the progress of insight research and discovery. From data collected in the first two quarters of 2018, the latest edition produced by GreenBook tackles market research sampling, drivers of spending, automation, GDPR readiness, and the industry perception on blockchain.
As an innovative provider of global marketing research services, Civicom continues to be at the forefront of recognizing and developing the potential of technology to enhance market research process. In 2017, Civicom participated alongside a panel of industry experts in a discussion on market research trends and game changers. One of the major takeaways from the 2017 survey conducted by GreenBook is the transformative role of technology and how it has become a significant know-how for insight professionals.
In Civicom’s commentary in the latest edition of the GRIT report, Rebecca West, Global Vice President of Marketing Research Services, re-emphasizes the importance of adapting digital transformation in enhancing the market research process: “Researchers have no choice but to embrace technology if their businesses are to remain relevant,” she writes, but reminds researchers that innovative tech solutions “does not negate the research process.” Civicom also stresses that “It is important to see technology as tools, not as insights.” At the end of the day, the researcher’s skill set involving sound methodology, solid recruiting, and analytics remain invaluable elements in a successful study.
