53. Transforming your organization Learning organizations: Learning organizations always have their ear(s) to the ground. They are open minded, and their doors are open to new thinking, new trends, and new ideas. They intentionally seek out “newness” and find ways to democratize what is new, make it understood and acceptable, and make it available. The people they seek to connect with are their icons. People on their terms
55. Marketing Research Creed Understand the business. Create value from insights by getting to the “now what” and be accountable for the business result Be a thought leader. You must shape thinking not just validate. Tell the marketing team something they didn’t know. Prove your point and show the way. You must be a courageous risk-taker. Bring the human into all marketing decision-making. Be the voice that connects the brand and consumer. Be charismatic. Infuse with theatre to be heard and to become unforgettable Be future focused. If you prove your foresight, research will be viewed as an investment rather than an expense which is critical. Stay grounded. Our professional standards, principles, and processes for generating grounded insights set us apart Become an agent of change. Embrace new marketing ideas, new research tools, and become an effective activist for cultural change in the organization. 26
