Program Themes

Theme One

Research as a Transformational Force

Change can only be achieved when we raise up the voices of all—in and outside our walls. During Day One of Advancing Research, we’ll examine new ideas and practices from researchers like you who’ve made research more ethical and inclusive. And we’ll challenge ourselves to take a good, hard look in the mirror and see what we—as individual researchers and as a community—need to do to continue pushing for equitable change.

Theme Two

Researchers as Organizational Changemakers

Insight has immense potential to galvanize, transform, and act as a force for change within a business. At Day Two, we’ll dig deeply into compelling stories and case studies from insight teams that have successfully elevated their voices and created meaningful change at an organizational level.

Theme Three

Transforming Our Craft

As a practice, insight is early in its journey to maturation. During Day Three, we’ll learn from research practitioners who are advancing our craft— in terms of methods and communication skills—and by pushing our work beyond conventional research and toward true insight.
