Panelists:

Charlene Adamah, Schlesinger Group
Tron Smith, Suzy
Rene Huey-Lipton, The DAME Collective

As demographics shift in the United States, the Insights industry needs to bring greater diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging to research practices and methods.  The Insights Association's IDEA Council is collaborating with research organizations to develop best practices for asking sensitive demographic questions in inclusive ways and to understand how updated demographic questions impact sample design.  The first phase of the IDEA Council research focused on Race and Ethnicity and identified three demographic questions that will improve the respondent experience in meaningful and inclusive ways. 

The next IDEA Council research phase will focus on how to ask the Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation in respectful and inclusive ways.  We know that gender identity is shifting and becoming more fluid in the United States, making the traditional binary gender demographic question often used in sample design less relevant to the populations we serve, particularly younger generations.  Researching how to ask demographic questions about sexual orientation is also important, as there is no consistent approach in the industry today.

During this IDEA Forum session, we will quickly review key takeaways from the phase one research on Race and Ethnicity and introduce the upcoming IDEA Council research on Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation.  You will learn more about past challenges of asking Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation in research, the methods and approaches we will use in the upcoming IDEA Council research, some hypotheses we have about the research results, and when recommendations will be available to the industry.

Speakers:

Lilah Raynor, Logica Research

Bianca Pryor, BET


Carlos Garcia, Garcia Research

DEI in research has traditionally meant looking at market research through the lens of "multicultural".  However, this lens presents problems in research because it fails to take into account that all multiculturals do not have the same needs when it comes to identifying and creating insights.  We have found that Black consumers, in particular, are often outliers in the way we should be designing questions and interpret data.  Their needs are more likely to be misrepresented, underrepresented, white-washed or even brown-washed and this can lead to perceptions of pandering.
We decided to start with Black consumers, who typically are the toughest group to win over, in order to understand what it takes to uncover insights that lead to better authentic connections for brands.  The result is a framework that works not only for Black consumers, but any consumer group.  This talk will share this framework and is a testimony of what happens when you lead with those who typically lie in the fringes.  It can inspire results for the masses that are more inspiring and actionable.

Key Takeaways:
- What do brands who show up authentically to Black consumers have in common?
- What are the 3 lenses you should be using to develop insights that will create long term authentic relationships?
- What happens when businesses fail to look through all 3 lenses and how this could be impacting you or your client's overall business?
- What are the steps needed to build insights that generate more authentic relationships?

Speakers:

Tiffany Davis - The Clorox Company
Tiffany is responsible for bringing multicultural consumer-first strategies to market for top Clorox brands including Pine Sol, Clorox Bleach, Burt’s Bees, Hidden Valley, and more.

Smucker Company, and Meta. In her spare time, she moonlights as a guest lecturer for different universities such as Southern Methodist University and the University of Madison.

Join us for an informative and inspiring case study of the Minnesota Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities and how qualitative and quantitative studies have helped achieve the ultimate goal of improving IPSII (independence, productivity, self-determination, integration and inclusion) for people with developmental disabilities across the state.

Speaker:

Tom Pearson - MarketResponse International

Tom founded MarketResponse International in 1992. At a time when U.S. research focused on traditional models and the prototypical “American”, Pearson imported methods from Europe that responded to the account planning and cross-cultural branding needs of global marketers. His firm flourishes from its distinction as the most experienced firm in the field of motivational research. Pearson has designed, moderated, analyzed and advised clients on qualitative and quantitative research studies in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asian Pacific regions. Tom has served clients in consumer products, banking, healthcare, telecommunications and automotive industries. He earned his MBA from Drake University and an undergraduate degree in Economics from Iowa State University.

While brands and researchers alike have stepped forward to share their strong support for diversity and inclusion, it takes much more to transform research practices and outcomes. With help from GfK, Microsoft has set in motion an ambitious and challenging program to make surveys and other market research more representative and more accessible. While this journey is still very much in progress, important strides have been made in key areas – such as mobile-centric survey design, greater Hispanic representation, and accessibility in survey programming and formatting.

Takeaways
• Essential respondent groups are often excluded from research because they are harder to reach, require special accessibility considerations, and/or have limited access to key technologies.
• The industry has no standard solutions for these inclusion issues – a challenge that marketers and researchers needs to face collectively and with consistent focus
• Microsoft has already seen promising results in taking on some nagging inclusion issues – but there is much more to take on and solve

The topic of equity and inequity creates new challenges and exciting opportunities for researchers, as we support client DEI, Business & HR leads in answering this key question:  

“How well are we doing in our journey towards equity, what vital signs of inequity exist within our organization and what must we prioritize to move forward with pace and impact?"

Answering this question can be complex, as it is a potent and highly personal topic that is rooted in self-identity, lived experiences and indeed one’s own biases. This creates challenges for researchers, for in order to generate authentic insights, the market research experience must be seen (by respondents) as an inclusive, psychologically safe space, where courageous conversations can be had, where all voices are equally heard – and where there is representation of all identities.

We believe that this calls for new and pioneering methodologies and we’ll be exploring the experience of the Pfizer team who have recently implemented a new and innovative DEI research methodology to gain deep insights that answer this critical question. The session will be a showcase of the Pfizer DEI research experience, providing an overview of the methodology used, and most importantly, hearing from Debbie Botwick (Pfizer) about the client experience, the feedback from respondents and the impact of the learnings and implications for action.   

We’d love you to join us for this enlightening session.

Speakers:

Debbie Botwick, Senior Director, Pfizer Learning Academy, Learning Trends & Strategy Architect

When Debbie was in elementary school, she used to go to sleep to the sound of an old-fashioned Smith-Corona electric typewriter.  Her mother had gone back to school to get a bachelor’s degree.  Debbie took away a significant life lesson about the importance and value of education. After many years in marketing at Pfizer, Debbie had a minor crisis of purpose.  And bringing forward that life lesson, Debbie leaned into finding a role that would align with her core values and discovered the Learning and Development discipline.  She has spent the last 7 years at Pfizer focused on supporting global colleagues to do their jobs better by providing learning resources and platforms. Debbie is also an active ally, volunteering at Pfizer to support DEI initiatives and outside of Pfizer, giving back as a board director for Working for Women (W4W), a not for profit organization focused on effecting social change for underserved women in the workforce and staying engaged with young people as mom of a college student and as a Board Member for the Cornell Fencing Association.
