The direction research, research teams, and researchers should take in the AI era
As AI takes on more and more of the research process, everyone involved in research stands before the same question: “So what should I do?”
Research must change from a heavy event done once or twice a year into an everyday tool for business decisions. By the time a project that takes months finally ends, the market has already moved on. When you can get the insight you need at the moment you need it, research actually gets used more.
Research teams must change too. They need to move beyond being an internal outsourcing function that takes requests, executes them, and hands over deliverables, and establish themselves as business partners who define the consumer problems the business units must solve, solve them with data, and stay alongside through execution.
Researchers are not disappearing. Their role is changing. AI produces good results on top of well-designed guidance and well-managed data. Researchers must evolve into a role that designs how AI handles insight and manages reusable data assets.
This webinar discusses concretely, from three perspectives, how the role of research must change: what an organization must change to weave research into everyday business, what role structure a research team needs to become a true partner rather than internal outsourcing, and what expertise researchers must protect and what new capabilities they must build in an era where AI takes on the research process. The teams and practitioners who read this change correctly now can keep research trustworthy while gaining greater influence.
