Leading Insight into the future

Learn how to transform the commercial impact of your Insight team with Insight Management Academy's James Wycherley.

The corporate Insight sector is at an inflection point. On one hand, the corporate appetite for insight has never been higher, and new AI tools and platforms provide endless opportunities.

On the other hand, demand for ad hoc, "can you just?" requests has stopped many teams from becoming real strategic drivers.

In this lively webinar for client-side researchers, IMA Chief Executive James Wycherley and Rival Group CMO Paula Catoira will discuss the current state of corporate insights and what it takes to step forward and lead Insight into the future.
