Future of Insights Study Finds Passive Data Deficit

GfK/IIR Industry Study Highlights
Five Research Industry Imperatives
By Marc Dresner, Senior Editor, IIR
Could the last few years
of talk about the Big Data revolution have just been lip service? 
David Krajicek
GfK COO Consumer
Experiences North America David Krajicek stunned the TMRE audience this morning
with the revelation that only about six percent of client-side researchers and
suppliers currently employ passively collected data.
Moreover, 68% said they do not believe they will begin using
passive data collection over the next two years.
But in almost absurdly
stark contrast, one-third of respondents from each respective party said the single most important source of data
for insights creation two years from now will be ‘consumer-specific data
collected passively.’
Krajicek unveiled these
and other key findings from 700 market research clients and suppliers surveyed
for the Future of Insights study by GfK in partnership with IIR (producer of
The Market Research Event) during the opening keynote session of TMRE 2015
today.
The results highlight
significant gaps and disparities in the field of consumer research today that
Krajicek called somewhat worrisome for the future of both the profession and
the industry.

‘While the industry desires
to evolve with the consumer and tap into the scores of behavioral data left
behind by an increasingly plugged-in society, the ability to
implement these new methodologies is still very much lacking.’
‘While the industry is ambitious in its desire to evolve
with the consumer and tap into the scores of behavioral data left behind by an
increasingly plugged-in society, the ability to implement these new
methodologies is still very much lacking, and the industry is still reliant on
the current modes of data collection,’ Krajicek said.
Based on the
findings, Krajicek reported the industry’s future rests with three ‘C’s”Collection,
Curation and Communication’around which he offered five industry imperatives:
1.      
Speed It Up!
‘We need to run‘not walk’and chew gum,’ said Krajicek, pointing to a ‘misalignment’
of priorities between clients and suppliers around speed vs. innovation. ‘Clients
want innovative methodologies, but first they want everything faster,’ he
emphasized. ‘Research providers need to concentrate on speeding up the current
deliverable while they’re developing new tools.’
2.      
Focus on Return on Insights
Research clients are three times more
likely than providers to focus on replacing traditional research approaches and
sources, while suppliers tend to think of innovation in incremental terms.
Krajicek noted that what’s missing from the discussion is why we’re innovating.
 ‘At no other time in history have we had
access to the level of information we have today to understand human behavior. Are
we living up to that potential’? Krajicek said. ‘We, as an industry, need to
have a very honest and transparent conversation about the value we’re bringing
bring to the table.’
3.      
Help Wanted: Insights Architect
The kinds of competencies required to meet the
demands of the near future are less around data science, analytics and methodological
expertise and more about the ability to ‘connect dots and curate an information
and insight ecosystem,’ said Krajicek.
4.      
Passive Data Rising Rapidly
Collectively,
clients and suppliers split almost evenly (about 30% across the board) on what
data source would be most important for insights creation two years from now’passively
collected data or survey data. Krajicek noted that with only 6% of respondents
using the former, we’d be looking at a pretty rapid adoption curve.
5.      
Driving
Action Through Stories
About
30% of respondents chose ‘storytelling’ as the greatest competency gap in
research today. Krajicek observed that ”storytelling’ is code for activation’We
are talking about being impactful in our communications, which suggests that
currently research is not impactful enough.’
Krajicek concluded
with a call to the industry and an invitation to continue the discussion. You
can expect to hear more on this initiative moving forward!

Editor’s note: TMRE attendees received a brief summary of
top line findings during Krajicek’s session. Download a copy
here.

Ps. GfK plans to release an in-depth report soon. Stay
tuned!

GfK’s Market Research Survey Reveals Industry Insights at TMRE 2015

In less than 2 weeks, market research leader GfK will be
revealing the results of its Future of Insights Survey at The Market Research Event (TMRE), November 2-4.
The survey reveals in depth insights into the state of the industry. Register
now to see the unveiling LIVE: http://bit.ly/1M51td4
Here are some
highlights that have come out of GfK’s Future of Insights Survey so far:
??        
Is the market research industry revolutionizing
or just evolving?
It depends on where you sit!
Clients want to revolutionize the way that research is done, while
suppliers are looking to evolve.
??        
Are clients and suppliers aligned on their top
goals for 2016?
When generating actionable insights, difficulty in being timely is a top impact
for clients, while adopting new, innovative methodologies is a leading impact
for suppliers.
??        
Which is more important: innovation or speed?
Turns out research innovation is still
important, but not at the expense of speed! Suppliers are focused on new
methodologies to create insights, but are misaligned with clients on the
importance of delivering impactful insights quickly.
??        
What is the market research industry craving?
The industry is craving leadership!
Clients feel a more imminent change in the
market research industry, while suppliers are pressured to keep pace with a
focus on new, innovative methodologies that can deliver impactful and timely
insights.
This is just a sample of the insights into the state of the
industry that GfK and IIR will be revealing at TMRE 2015 taking place November
2-4 in Orlando, Florida, as we release the results of Future of Insights
Survey. Follow #FOInsights on Twitter and Facebook for more survey results

10 Ways to Drive Survey Engagement

By Melissa Moxley,
Lightspeed GMI

According to a spring 2015 study from Microsoft, the average human
attention span has fallen below that of goldfish — and you can blame it on the
gadgets we use to watch YouTube videos and play “Crossy Road.” The researchers clocked the
average human attention span at just 8 seconds in 2013, falling 4 seconds from
the 12-second average in 2000, and putting humans just 1 second below goldfish.
We made the transition from CATI to online, but now we need
to make the transition from online to mobile. But, how do we keep survey
respondents engaged in a way that captures their attention? Can we carry them
past that eight second threshold?
From a questionnaire design perspective, we need to balance the
marketing research hat with the respondent hat. Yes, we need to ensure our
paired comparison questions are all implemented for proper analysis, but let’s
grab the attention of our respondents with some color and images, bringing life
to our questions. Let’s be their distraction.  
Regardless of whether or not respondents are on-the-go or
planted in their office or home, distractions are all around them. Have you
tried to take a survey while emails are accumulating in your inbox? Your
messenger pings are flashing and your boss is seconds away from walking in for
your 2:00p.m. meeting? How about taking a survey while cooking dinner, briefing
your husband on the day and pacifying the toddler pulling at your leg? While
these are exaggerated situations, reality isn’t too far off. Respondents
nowadays are taking surveys from anywhere and at any time. We need to capture
their attention and retain it.
Be the Distraction

So how do we do it? While we can’t sit next to every
respondent as they enter in their answers, we can take measures to prevent them
from closing their browser and moving on. Your survey should serve as the
distraction; your respondent shouldn’t be distraction from your survey.
Below are the 10 ways to design an appealing survey. Remember,
you only have eight seconds to engage.
1.     Scrolling
= Work = Dropouts
??  No one
wants to work to read an attribute list or find the ‘next’ button in order to
progress. The key here is ease, try
to limit your response lists to 15 points and minimize scrolling as best as you
can.
2.     Be
Concise: The Shorter, The Better
??  I like
to promote the Twitter mentality: 140 characters, short and concise and easy to
digest.
3.     Avoid
Repetition: Didn’t I Already Answer That?
??  Nothing
is worse than being mid-survey and thinking just that. Don’t ask respondents to
rank their top three brands and then turn around and rank their top six. 
4.     Spacing:
Feng Shui Your Survey
??  The
spacing between the question text, response lists and images needs to be optimized
and balanced within the screen so that there is balance and symmetry.
5.     Sizing:
Bigger Isn’t Always Better
??  This
applies to font size throughout the survey (consistency is key) as well as
image sizing. There needs to be a middle ground between squinting in order to
read the question and scrolling in order to see the entire ad or concept being
reviewed. 
6.     Consider
Compatibility: Are respondents going to be taking the survey on a PC? Tablet?
Mobile? All of the above?
??  Test
surveys on all potential devices and don’t allow mobile or tablet usage if the
survey isn’t compatible; it’s not worth jeopardizing the data or the
respondents experience
7.     Question
Types: the right question yields the right answers
??  If you
are asking respondents to ‘select all that apply’ ensure they can do so. In
turn, respondents should be able to visually tell which options they’ve
selected, getting rewarded for their answers
8.     Get
Active! Designing ‘active’ questions = engaged respondents
??  It’s
not just for physical health anymore. Mentally, respondents want something to
do when giving their opinion, they like dragging logos in order to rank them or
sliding the scale to the number ’10′ because they really do ‘strongly agree’
with that statement.
9.     Find
your inner artist: Colors, visuals and design elements go a long way.
??  Using
these features effectively in a survey locks the respondents’ attention and
keeps it from click to click.
10.  Survey
Experience: Taking the time to remove your researcher hat and put on your
respondent hat helps ensure the experience is an enjoyable one
??  Once
you’re positive you’ve got the survey of your dreams in place, take a step back
and look at it from a high level. Are the colors consistent from page to page? Was
that Arial font on question 10 when the rest of the survey was in Times Roman?
When the instructions say ‘roll over image to zoom,’ is it really working?
Still with me? If you’re at the end of this list, you’ve
made it past the eight second mark and are clearly engaged!
