For the week of International Women's Day, we're putting a spotlight on research related to gender equality and social inclusion in the WASH workforce (water, sanitation and hygiene services). Our guest is Avni Kumar who is a Senior Research Consultant in the Institute for Sustainable Futures at UTS with a background in development economics. The discussion extends to themes that are relevant for women in the wider workforce, the importance of including men in gender inclusion efforts, and Avni's own experience of returning to work from maternity leave.
Um erfolgreich am Markt zu bestehen, ist es wichtig, Marketingentscheidungen auf zuverlässigen Daten zu gründen. Marktforschung ist entscheidend bei der Analyse des eigenen Absatzmarktes und der Konkurrenz. Sie ermöglicht es, Entscheidungen nicht nur auf persönlichen Erfahrungen zu basieren, sondern auch die Bedürfnisse des gesamten Absatzmarktes zu berücksichtigen. Wie Unternehmen deshalb Marktforschung im Marketing erfolgreich einsetzen können, erklärt in dieser Folge Bettina Kriegl, Senior Research Consultant bei der Vogel Communications Group GmbH und Dozentin an der Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt. Gemeinsam mit marconomy Content Managerin Alicia Weigel geht sie der Frage nach, wie Unternehmen sich durch eine zielorientierte Marktforschung besser auf dem eigenen Absatzmarkt positionieren können. Jetzt reinhören, viel Spaß! Das erwartet Sie in dieser Folge: Ab Minute 03:10: Bereiche der Marktforschung Ab Minute 03:56: Unternehmensbereiche in denen Marktforschung genutzt werden kann Ab Minute 06:09: Vorteile der Marktforschung Ab Minute 09:15: Neue Absatzmärkte durch Marktforschung Ab Minute 10:29: Bekanntheit messbar machen durch Marktforschung Ab Minute 11:55: Wettbewerbsanalyse Ab Minute 15:31: Methoden der Wettbewerbsanalyse Ab Minute 19:28: Marktforschung selber durchführen Ab Minute 21:18: Qualität der Daten Ab Minute 23:06: Warum einen Dienstleister beauftragen Ab Minute 25:13: Herausforderungen in der Marktforschung Ab Minute 27:35: Tipps zur Marktforschung für Marketer
In der Marktforschung Mehrwert generieren – das macht Bettina Kriegl, die als Senior Research Consultant bei der Vogel Communications Group und nebenberuflich als Dozentin arbeitet. Jonas Rashedi, der Host von MY DATA IS BETTER THAN YOURS, fragt sie in der neuen Episode darüber aus, wie sie mit Daten in der Marktforschung arbeitet. Ihr coolster Forschungsansatz? Ihre Doktorarbeit, bei der ihr Ziel war, ihre Methodenkompetenz auszubauen, die sie auch jetzt in ihrem Team forciert. Doch Bettina wollte die Forschungsergebnisse auch anwenden und wechselte deswegen in die Praxis. Denn dort sieht man direkt, wie Unternehmen mit den erhobenen Daten umgehen – das findet Bettina sinnstiftend. Sie erzählt das lebhaft an einem Beispiel aus der Praxis, an dem jemand Marktanteile an Wettbewerber verloren hat – Bettina's Ziel war dann, die schwer greifbare Zielgruppe von Berufsschullehrer:innen zu erreichen und nach ihrer Meinung zu fragen. Welche Fragen muss man dann stellen? Wann muss man eine Zweit-Erhebung für die Validierung machen? Am Ende kommen Jonas und Bettina auf die Idee, eine Marktforschung für den Podcast zu machen und besprechen anhand dieses Beispiels, wie man eine Umfrage vorbereitet und was man mit diesen Erkenntnissen tun kann. MY DATA IS BETTER THAN YOURS ist ein Projekt von BETTER THAN YOURS, der Marke für richtig gute Podcasts.

With the ever presenting threat of climate change looming, and the increasing severity of natural disasters it will bring, concerns on the reliability of Australia's regional power grid during times of crisis. Due to Australia's low population density particularly in rural and regional communities, electricity travel great distances from power stations to these communities. This makes them particularly vulnerable to failure during natural disasters, cutting off residents' access to basic necessities and hindering rescue efforts. Research into microgrids shows promising results that the implementation of small, local electricity grids powered using renewables can provide a stable source of electricity when mainlines fail during times of crisis.

Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. Record heatwaves, floods and storms. The headlines bear witness to a world facing greater weather extremes threatening people and nature. A major report from the UN's top climate science body last month underscored the growing risks. As the world gets hotter, climate change impacts are intensifying, affecting ecosystems, people, settlements, and infrastructure. In its report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, said there was clear evidence of increases in the frequency and intensity of climate and weather extremes, including hot extremes on land and in the ocean, plus heavy rainfall events, drought and fire weather. Climate change has caused substantial damage, and increasingly irreversible losses, to the natural world, including coral reefs and some forests. Climate change is also driving increased food insecurity and contributing to humanitarian crises. And unless greenhouse emissions are quickly reined in, the impacts will only accelerate, placing more people and nature at greater risk. With such a worrying outlook, the IPCC report outlines the importance of adapting to climate impacts but finds such efforts are patchy and in need of greater funding and coordination. In this episode, ST environment correspondent Audrey Tan and climate change editor David Fogarty discuss the findings of the report with one of its lead authors, Dr Chandni Singh, Senior Research Consultant at the Indian Institute for Human Settlements in Bangalore. She tells us more about the vital need to boost adaptation efforts but also the limits. Highlights (click/tap above): 01:18 Dr Chandni on big findings about Asia from the report 04:21 How is climate change affecting human societies? 07:13 How are natural ecosystems going to be affected by climate change? 09:50 Which segments of society are more vulnerable to climate impacts? 16:10 What are soft and hard limits to adaptation?

Rebecca Bryant, Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Utrecht University, and Mete Hatay, the Senior Research Consultant at the Peace Research Institute Oslo, co-authored Sovereignty Suspended: Building the So-Called State (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2020). The monograph is based on more than two decades of ethnographic and archival research in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus – an entity that looks like a state and acts like a state but that much of the world says does not or should not exist. Sovereignty Suspended traces the process by which the north portion of the Mediterranean island of Cyprus began to emerge as a separate but unrecognized state-like space following the violent partition of the mid-1970s. The authors excavate the contradictions and paradoxes of life in a “de facto” state, arguing that it is only by rethinking the concept of de facto statehood as a realm of social and cultural practice that we will come to understand the longevity of such states and what it means to live in them.

It is an unusual and difficult situation to be young in a country that has been divided politically for more than 55 years, and physically for more than 45 years. Ever since the referendum regarding the “Annan Plan” and the contrasting voting behaviour of the Cypriot youth on both sides of the divide, the perception of the Cypriot youth moved to the centre of research interest. On the basis of the report by Cihan Dizdaroğlu, assistant professor at the Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations at Coventry University, Hubert Faustmann, director of the FES Office in Cyprus, Mete Hatay, Senior Research Consultant at the PRIO Cyprus Centre and the author having a lively exchange concerning this issue.
Welcome to 7th episode of the Talent Intelligence Collective Podcast! Unfortunately for this one, Toby wasn't able to join us so it was just myself (Alan Walker), Alison Ettridge and Nick Brooks welcoming the wonderful Lesley Rood, Senior Research Consultant for Talent Analytics at Allstate. Albeit one man down, we powered through with our usual format starting off with some news, views, and worldly insights. Starting off with a discussion from the Talent Intelligence Collective Facebook Group (join the group). Or in particular a comment from a member: “One major issue is the credibility of those producing the research. For example, are they even senior enough for the executive audiences to view them as peers and reasons to believe, rely upon, or otherwise trust them?“. To which our podcast guest Lesley, rightfully pointed out: “I think, if you are a subject matter expert, you can certainly build up your credibility. As long as you start with confidence and business perspective. Because the biggest thing an executive is looking for is: Can you help me picture the future with this knowledge that you are bringing in?” Which then led us onto a whole bigger conversation about ‘The language of the business'. Understanding what problems your business is facing and thinking about how to solve them. Rather than simply presenting data reports. “It's really about critical thinking. Thinking about the business challenges you are trying to solve. Being able to understand and identify those issues. And presenting yourself with clarity and confidence. It's less about the seniority and more about your ability to apply context” - Nick Brooks A quote from the CEO of ThoughtSpot, around future data skills, led us to discuss - Are companies going to expect candidates to be able to both understand and speak data? Lesley believed that the simple knowledge and understanding of data, wouldn't be enough. Since it's the skill of critical thinking that enables individuals to consult, lead and drive conclusions through data. “Data is not the be-all and end-all. It's the ability to overlay insight and data that adds real value.” - Alison Ettridge Believed that to be enough news and insights - as informative as it was - Alison was eager to start questioning to our guest Lesley. With questions like: “Both our previous podcast guests, Vibhu Ganesan and Lyndon Llanes, mentioned that their companies are building a taxonomy. Is this something that Allstate are considering?” “We've focused more on defining and classifying the market information that we bring in. For example: if you asked about retention would know exactly what points to be pulling in and how to apply them to internal data. So I guess you could say we've come up with a data dictionary of external data.” As always we hope you enjoy the episode. Please do leave a review and a rating for the podcast (if you liked it). Your support really does mean the world to us and it is all we need to ensure this podcast continues to grow.
