Great summary
It is a great summary of tech trends and usage, with the right ammount of depth – not too superficial and not so technical – in an objective manner.
Fantastic overview of the research technology landscape & tons of inspiration
Provides great insight into the key drivers of the rapid change in our industry. Lots of examples, concrete ideas, food for thought & inspiration. Highly recommended for research technology providers (for understanding competitive space, target groups & inspiration) and for research agencies trying to navigate the changing CI space. And anyone passionate about innovation and/or the future of CI
I wish I had learnt some of this a few years ago 🙂
If you want to understand or feel overwhelmed with the modern Research technology market landscape this is the course you should do. A good deep dive into the explosion of options. Nicely succinct implications for each topic area provided lots of great insight to both the broadening of reach for research and the blurring of boundaries between the emerging sub-categories.
Succinct Synthesis
Really neat summary of the trends within tech and how they present themselves for the research industry. I have pages of notes and ideas that will serve me well in the future. Dead helpful stuff.
Bite sized, succinct with lots of recent relevant examples
I wasn;t sure what to expect but delighted that each module is 4-5 mins and you can work your way through when you have the time. logical, simple to understand and engaging
