The rise of the peer close on the heels of a crowd-based economy is reflective of the new winds that are carrying the industry forward, collaboration. Want to join the movement and shape industry? Volunteer your skills with MRIA and enter to WIN a ticket to the annual conference in Toronto!
If consumers have evolved, how are we preparing to understand their motives and journeys, to predict their patterns and prescribe insights-rich solutions? January’s featured blog takes a leap into the tech of tomorrow using agent-based modelling to innovate for success.
Innovation is great, but what careers and skillsets should the next generation of researchers be looking at, armed with statistical and marketing brilliance or less? If we have managed to train our workforces to have happily married left and right brains, how do we also make sure they are all gainfully employed in an age of constant restructure and moving expectations? The answer will always be education and knowledge sharing! Be sure to check out MRIA’s line up of courses and knowledge exchange events and the highly anticipated summer conference to learn from an unprecedented range of data insights practitioners and leaders.
The past decade was a dress rehearsal, for what is ahead. How do we grow this $80 billion industry in turbulent times, where our neighbours to the south and in other markets appear to be succeeding faster? Abundance today is restricted to the v ery few, and not quite enough to sustain shrinking budgets and bottomlines, as we witnessed the highest rates of insolvency in the past year in Canada since the financial crisis.
We need each other more than ever as we pool endeavours and resources. Drop us a note if you’d like to engage and support the industry and its talents. Perhaps you want to feature a job posting in the Career Bytes section? Get in touch. Together, we win.
Sincerely,
