Change is constant. Information is your compass.
Attendees will walk away with:

- A breakdown of the five highest-ROI research types and how to apply them to your firm’s goals.
- A practical framework to craft the right research questions that lead to meaningful strategic action.
- Hands-on examples of using research to inform pursuits, validate new services, and uncover market opportunities.
- An understanding of the growth matrix—a tool that connects strategy, innovation, and research.
