How the Role of the Consumer Researcher Is Evolving
As the researcher function continues to evolve, there are number of organizational models to source, mine, and activate insights. Identifying and defining consumer, shopper and customer insights functions in your organization will help focus the research, ensure improved operational efficiency and lead to synthesizing key insights and translating into omni-channel activations.
One of the biggest opportunities for shopper strategists today involves identifying future opportunities that exist in drawing correlations which happens when connecting the dots.
This means really working to identify the right problem to solve and turning to both big data AND small data as we look to predict the future by genuinely understanding the past.
When you think about how much has evolved even in the last 5 years - technology, methodologies, shopper behavior, redefined skill sets and capabilities - it makes you wonder what the shopper researchers role will look like by 2020.
