#833: Qualtrics’ Ali Henriques on accelerating the speed to insights with synthetic research
We are in Seattle at the Qualtrics X4 Summit, and today,we’re going to talk about how to overcome the speed to insights bottleneck. We’ll explore a fundamental shift in market research, moving away from slow, traditional cycles and toward a world where synthetic data and AI can give us near-instantaneous insights, allowing us to simulate customer behavior and de-risk major decisions before they even launch. To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome back to the show, Ali Henriques, Executive Director of Market Research at Qualtrics.
From the creators of The Agile Brand with Greg Kihlström® podcast, and the internationally best-selling The Agile Brand Guide® series of books on marketing technology topics, we're here to give marketers information and insights to make better decisions.
