The research industry is facing unprecedented levels of disruption. The industry finds itself at the cusp of a new era, one where the traditional boundaries of speed, intelligence, and depth are being shattered by next-generation tools and platforms, and where long-held norms are being redefined.
We believe the next generation of research will be pivoted around three key themes: Faster, Smarter, and Deeper.
Faster: Agility Is the New Normal
Decision makers can no longer wait weeks for answers. Decision cycles demand real-time intelligence:
- According to the Greenbook Research Industry Trends Report (GRIT) 2023, 62% of insights buyers prioritize speed of delivery as a critical factor when choosing a market research provider.
- GenAI and automation have slashed project timelines, allowing leading brands to launch, iterate, and act within days—not months.
- Agentic AI is now going to execute end-to-end project design and delivery.
Speed is no longer a luxury; it’s the baseline.
Smarter: Intelligence, Not Just Information
The shift isn’t just about moving fast, it’s about going smart. The research platforms of tomorrow are powered by:
- AI-driven analytics for actionable recommendations and automated reporting.
- Dynamic questioning and survey flows that increase quality while reducing survey fatigue.
- Real-time sentiment analysis, pattern discovery, and behavioral analysis delivering answers that go beyond trends.
Smarter tools are empowering researchers to focus on strategy, not setup.
Deeper: Insight Beyond the Obvious
With smarter, faster capabilities comes the ability to dig deeper into what truly drives customer and employee experience:
- Advanced analytics reveal not just “what”, but the underlying “why”.
- More nuanced understanding of customer and employee behavior.
- Integrated multi-method research for a complete understanding of the most important drivers.
Depth is about transforming data into decisions.
The question is, can any single organization solve all these and other emerging challenges?
The answer is No.
