BIG Talent Debate: the Changing Skills of the MR Professional

Are new methodologies and innovations changing our skill needs?

Overview: Mobile and social media research, big data and other innovations and technologies are changing how we define research. Some say it is forcing us to reinvent what we do. But which are most important for us to master, and are the core skills of the researcher the same as ever?

MrWeb’s Nick Thomas presents conclusions from analysis of the site’s first 100,000 job ads, spanning 14 years, and a panel of four specialists will debate and take your questions. We’ll combine coverage of MR in general with specifics of B2B. The panel will include agency and clientside HR managers, plus recruitment consultants Damon Thomas of Hasson Associates and Clive Warren from CSA Recruitment.

This is an informative and practical BIG Forum session that researchers will gain directly from. Q&A from the floor will help drive discussion to lead to some hard conclusions by the time the session is finished!

Time: 18.30 (Please note, this event will be preceded by the BIG AGM at 18.00)
