Are you becoming weary of all the change and upheaval occurring on a global level? It seems that every day brings a new set of challenges that must be accommodated. It is uncomfortable and feels shaky and unstable. As humans, our brains crave safety, security and a feeling of control. All of these have been in short supply for the past few months.
As market researchers, we like data and uncovering insights that can help guide important decisions. This data is also slippery and fickle, changing from day to day and week to week as consumers struggle to adapt. Their attitudes, emotions and behaviors are unpredictable.
It is hard to imagine throwing any more change into the mix, but many experts are saying that’s exactly what should happen. A recent Greenbook webinar covered this reality, indicating that “to keep up with changing behaviors of consumers, having the right technology and implementing tools efficiently is critical.” How can we rely on traditional, broken, slow methods to keep up when new insights are coming in so quickly? The webinar covered three main points; we have zoomed up from those to a bird’s eye view and added our thoughts to each below.
While keeping the status quo in our businesses as everything around us shifts may seem attractive, it isn’t a reasonable approach. We must keep up with what is going on in order to do our jobs, and that means using report automation and other technology solutions. The good news is that you don’t have to upend everything to do so - OfficeReports integrates directly with programs you already know well (Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint) to automate your survey reporting. Find a stable, familiar solution AND keep up with the unsettled and unpredictable consumer insights you need.
