- Afternoon everyone. I’d like to open by telling you a quick story about Swedish drivers. Swedish learners have to undergo a rigorous driving test, which is taken in three parts in the following order: First, a slippery road test – 4hrs of theory and practical driving exercises in slippery or hazardous road conditions Second, a theory test of 65 questions requiring a pass rate of 80%. This can only be scheduled after you have taken 14 pre-tests. Finally, a 45 minute driving test , which includes three additional mini tests relating to your car – an engine check, an inside car check and a light check. This driving test can only be taken after you have driven at least once with an instructor and demonstrated that you are ready to take the test. So is it any wonder that Swedish drivers think that they are pretty good drivers? In actual fact, Swedish drivers are so confident, that when surveyed, 50% of them believe themselves to be in the best 10% of drivers in the country. It’s perfectly understandable that they should feel this way, but quite obviously an impossibility. And I’m similar stories could be told about how good we think we are as lovers. The truth is that we humans are self-deceit machines . We are very poor witnesses to our own behaviour and to our own motivations. But central to most of our market research tools is the belief that the best way to elicit the truth is to observe or ask individuals for their own opinions, motivations and predicted behaviour. At the same time, the latest social science and evolutionary psychology is showing the degree to which humans are a ‘we’ species with an incredibly well developed ability to observe others, quickly assess people and a situation and predict people’s future behaviour . As Scottish Poet, Robert Burns put it, ‘Oh, that God the gift would give us, to see ourselves as others see us’. So here is the thought. Why don’t we set out to see people as they are seen by others? Why do we insist on asking people for their own motivations, to predict their own reactions and behaviours? Would it not be a fairer depiction of life – attitudes and behaviours – if we were to frame our research to obtain a more accurate picture of reality, untarnished by our own distorted view of ourselves? Imagine a philosophy that moved us from asking respondents for opinions about themselves, to one where we valued the individual for their judgement, powers of observation and their view of the world. In essence, we would be moving from ‘Me Research’ to ‘We Research’ – a more inclusive view of our respondents as participants. In 'We' research we never ask people about themselves, only what they've noticed, think or predict about others. This philosophy might underpin many areas of research. Mass prediction would require the broadest and most diverse possible sample, as outlined by James Surowiecki in his book ‘the Wisdom of Crowds’. The theory of The Wisdom of Crowds has already been shown to work and to have validity as a predictor of new product success in market. Mass Ethnography would harness people’s natural observational abilities to turn respondents into an army of effective ethnographic researchers. We might use online ‘listening and observing’ training techniques to encourage people’s natural talent and we might be able to show how large numbers of people can be identified, trained, deputized and deployed to assess the dynamics and behaviour of consumers in any given category, providing companies with fresh and commercially valuable insights. Mass semiotics would take mass ethnography one stage further by identifying naturally gifted semioticians – all those who can go beyond insightful observation to join the dots of what it all means and provide provocative platforms for creating brand growth. Our challenge here would be to develop a method of identifying naturally gifted semioticians and to find simple frameworks and ways of training them to deliver commercial quality insights. Finally ‘Co-creation’. Our work over the last few years in this area has shown that creativity is an aptitude like any other and that only a very small proportion of the population are naturally gifted creatives with a real talent for coming up with new ideas. Perhaps we can forge a new type of research with a new type of respondent, and move beyond the me towards the we.

The truth is that we humans are self-deceit machines . We are very poor witnesses to our own behaviour and to our own motivations. But central to most of our market research tools is the belief that the best way to elicit the truth is to observe or ask individuals for their own opinions, motivations and predicted behaviour. At the same time, the latest social science and evolutionary psychology is showing the degree to which humans are a ‘we’ species with an incredibly well developed ability to observe others, quickly assess people and a situation and predict people’s future behaviour . As Scottish Poet, Robert Burns put it, ‘Oh, that God the gift would give us, to see ourselves as others see us’. So here is the thought. Why don’t we set out to see people as they are seen by others? Why do we insist on asking people for their own motivations, to predict their own reactions and behaviours? Would it not be a fairer depiction of life – attitudes and behaviours – if we were to frame our research to obtain a more accurate picture of reality, untarnished by our own distorted view of ourselves? Imagine a philosophy that moved us from asking respondents for opinions about themselves, to one where we valued the individual for their judgement, powers of observation and their view of the world. In essence, we would be moving from ‘Me Research’ to ‘We Research’ – a more inclusive view of our respondents as participants. In 'We' research we never ask people about themselves, only what they've noticed, think or predict about others. This philosophy might underpin many areas of research. Mass prediction would require the broadest and most diverse possible sample, as outlined by James Surowiecki in his book ‘the Wisdom of Crowds’. The theory of The Wisdom of Crowds has already been shown to work and to have validity as a predictor of new product success in market. Mass Ethnography would harness people’s natural observational abilities to turn respondents into an army of effective ethnographic researchers. We might use online ‘listening and observing’ training techniques to encourage people’s natural talent and we might be able to show how large numbers of people can be identified, trained, deputized and deployed to assess the dynamics and behaviour of consumers in any given category, providing companies with fresh and commercially valuable insights. Mass semiotics would take mass ethnography one stage further by identifying naturally gifted semioticians – all those who can go beyond insightful observation to join the dots of what it all means and provide provocative platforms for creating brand growth. Our challenge here would be to develop a method of identifying naturally gifted semioticians and to find simple frameworks and ways of training them to deliver commercial quality insights. Finally ‘Co-creation’. Our work over the last few years in this area has shown that creativity is an aptitude like any other and that only a very small proportion of the population are naturally gifted creatives with a real talent for coming up with new ideas. Perhaps we can forge a new type of research with a new type of respondent, and move beyond the me towards the we.
- Afternoon everyone. I’d like to open by telling you a quick story about Swedish drivers. Swedish learners have to undergo a rigorous driving test, which is taken in three parts in the following order: First, a slippery road test – 4hrs of theory and practical driving exercises in slippery or hazardous road conditions Second, a theory test of 65 questions requiring a pass rate of 80%. This can only be scheduled after you have taken 14 pre-tests. Finally, a 45 minute driving test , which includes three additional mini tests relating to your car – an engine check, an inside car check and a light check. This driving test can only be taken after you have driven at least once with an instructor and demonstrated that you are ready to take the test. So is it any wonder that Swedish drivers think that they are pretty good drivers? In actual fact, Swedish drivers are so confident, that when surveyed, 50% of them believe themselves to be in the best 10% of drivers in the country. It’s perfectly understandable that they should feel this way, but quite obviously an impossibility. And I’m similar stories could be told about how good we think we are as lovers.
