ESOMAR and GRBN publish global guidance for organisations and professionals for processing secondary data for research.

Guidance clarifies key responsibilities when collecting and using personal data Guidance clarifies key responsibilities when working with secondary data. 

ESOMAR and the Global Research Business Network (GRBN) announce the release of a new guideline to support researchers applying new approaches in assembling and analysing large data bases to uncover patterns and deliver new insights.

We are experiencing a digital revolution with more data available than ever before coming from secondary data resources such as transactional databases, social media networks, sensors, scanners and data aggregations constructed from a range of sources.
The research and insight function is rapidly extending from collecting and processing primary data to managing, synthesising and analysing secondary data, using a wide variety of analytic concepts and techniques. In taking advantage of these exciting opportunities, researchers must uphold their ethical, legal and professional requirements to meet the needs of data subjects, clients and data owners.

Drafted by research and privacy experts, this new Guideline includes an overview of the challenges that researchers must solve when using second- and third-party data. It also gives guidance on how to ensure that any personal data contained in secondary data is used with a legal basis and that there are adequate privacy safeguards in place to protect the data. In addition, the new Guideline highlights how to ensure that researchers provide the right level of transparency regarding data provenance and quality with respect to how the data is assembled and analysed so clients can make informed judgements about the validity of findings.

Pravin Shekar, Director General of ESOMAR said:
“Working with a wider range of data offers researchers and insights professionals exciting new opportunities. We must ensure that we recognise our duty of care to those whose personal data we use in our projects. Researchers and analysts need to be transparent to clients about the specifics of the data processing and analysis so they can assess its quality. This Guideline provides clear guidance on what they need to do to meet their responsibilities.”

Andrew Cannon, Executive Director at GRBN comments:
“There is an ever-growing amount of secondary data available to researchers creating fantastic opportunities to generate new insights and inform business decisions. This ESOMAR GRBN Guideline is an invaluable resource for researchers empowering them to take advantage of the opportunities whilst working ethically and responsibly with secondary data.” 

It is vital that the high professional standards of ESOMAR and GRBN members are maintained throughout the course of any research project, underscoring the expertise within the sector, ensuring its long-term growth, and fostering trust from clients and the general public alike.

Along with the Primary Data Collection and Duty of Care guidance previously published by ESOMAR and GRBN, this new Guideline ensures that researchers have a trusted source of support during all stages of any research project.

ESOMAR and GRBN publish global guidance for organisations and professionals on fair use of data.

Guidance clarifies key responsibilities when collecting and using personal data

ESOMAR and the Global Research Business Network (GRBN) are pleased to announce today the release of two new complementary guidelines that further strengthen ethical standard framework to be used by their respective memberships; Primary Data Collection and Duty of Care.

These practical documents provide essential support to research, insight and data analytics practitioners and the organisations that work with them to best navigate important issues they encounter in their daily lives. The new guidance aims to better future proof ethical and professional practice at a time when the collection and use of data continues to accelerate, facilitated by new technologies. The guidance reinforces the importance of maintaining trust with participants and support practitioners to comply with existing and emerging legislation.

The Primary Data Collection guideline guides practitioners and organisations when they collect data directly from or about a data subject for the purpose of their data, research and insights projects. The Duty of Care guidance reminds practitioners and organisations of their responsibilities to the privacy and well-being of their data subjects and outlines the key expectations taking into account established ethical and legal requirements.

Finn Raben, Director General of ESOMAR said:
“It is high time to refresh our commitments and ensure our standards keep up with an ecosystem where data science is mainstreaming and leading to a dramatic increase in the volume of personal data, much of it behavioural, being collected. The recognition of the potential value to societies and economies is only possible when responsible and ethical use of personal data occurs. In this context, these two documents are vital to industry progress in recognising our clear duty of care to those whose personal data we use in our projects.”

Andrew Cannon, Executive Director at GRBN comments:
“Trust is a fundamental to the future of our industry; trust by the general public, by clients and by regulators. Researchers’ ethical behaviour, especially with regard to privacy and the use of personal data, is central to maintaining and building this trust, and these two guidelines provide researchers with the essential guidance they need.”

Three wishes for 2020

My first wish would have to be for everyone’s health and wellbeing. I don’t know about you but I’m getting a bit over ‘unprecedented’ as a word to describe what’s happening but this pandemic is certainly a doozy and has impacted everyone to some degree. Health and wellbeing has to be our first priority right now and  it’s fantastic to see how well our Members and Company and Client Partners here in Australia have responded to the crisis and adapted their processes and ways of working to take care of themselves and their people.

The Research Society represents the research sector with 2000 individual Members and over 80 leading research Company and Client Partners who employ over 12,000 permanent and casual employees. Our Members and Company Partners conduct research for the majority of Federal and State Government Departments, Local Governments and ASX top 200 companies. Our Client Partners commission research and include ASX top 200 companies as well as government departments and agencies. The Australian research and insights industry generates over $1 billion of economic activity annually, with all levels of Government representing a significant portion of this. So, my second wish is that both the private and public sector continue to recognise and support a) the significant economic contribution our sector makes to the Australian economy and b)  the invaluable contribution we can continue to make to fact based decision making through this immediate crisis and then in navigating through a likely recession. Every decision across government, business and not for profit sectors affecting Australians in every aspect of their lives is informed by high quality research conducted by our members and that’s never been more important than right now when high quality up to the minute information and insight is critical.

Thirdly I hope that our sector and many outside of it allied to what we do, continue to engage in greater numbers with The Research Society. After months of behind-the-scenes work, we are relaunching the Australian Market & Social Research Society as The Research Society.  In our 65^th year the rebrand  brings not only a fresh, up-to-date look and feel but offers members and partners a range of exciting new opportunities to get involved and contribute to Australia’s most trusted research Society. The rebrand moves the organisation to a more contemporary community association for the research, insights and data industry that provides benefits and services to research professionals throughout their career.  Market and social researchers continue to be at the heart of our membership but we want to embrace and cater for their changing interests as well as a broader sector of professionals who also operate in research including: CX, UX, Design and Service Research Professionals; Data Analysts and Insight Professionals; Evaluators; Operational and Panel Experts; Academics and Students.  Our new offers  and opportunities will ensure we are able to best support our Members, in whichever areas they work,  to drive their careers through training, networking, standards, accreditation and online resources.

Top challenges facing sector in next 3 years/ Biggest opportunities facing our sector in the next 3 years?

 I tried to answer these questions separately but often challenges and opportunities are just the same thing framed differently so I’m choosing to take the positive route. It’s probably worth saying too that I think our key opportunities are not really new ones brought on by the current crisis but are opportunities we have been working on for a while that perhaps have been in some cases brought into sharper focus with all that is going on.

Firstly  I think our role as sense-makers and bringers of meaning to data has never been more important. Data is becoming available from increasing sources in increasing volumes but few are as well placed as us to help navigate that data. Few have the professional skills and experience to explore and interrogate that data, to synthesise, contextualise and draw meaning and direction from it. The opportunity to continue to promote our contribution in this area continues to be our greatest opportunity as research professionals and as an industry.

Coronavirus has undoubtedly driven a faster shift to more digital and remote ways of working. They were happening before but suddenly it’s happening for us all and many have also had to adapt their methodologies and research approaches to this new environment. We have a tremendous opportunity now to really embrace this shift, look further into the opportunities that technology can offer us. Many of our members and partners were already embracing technology but the current crisis has given us an opportunity to really supercharge some of that change which can provide greater agility, efficiency and flexibility for ourselves, our clients and our people.

An ongoing opportunity remains that of continuing to attract young talent to our industry. Those of us who have been  around forever remember when research was more or less being a qual or quant researcher or the classic  ‘all rounder’ and methodologies could be counted on one hand. An exaggeration perhaps but you know what I mean if you’ve been around for a while. In 2020 this profession is dynamic. We offer an incredibly diverse range of career opportunities and areas to specialise in, opportunities to innovate particularly around technology and more ways to network and work with people across different professions and specialities. This is a great time to get into the research profession and we have to continue to work hard to get that message out through our work, our promotional activity and our relationships with the tertiary education sector.

Little known / fun facts about Tiina?

 So this turned out to be the hardest question to answer! I’m an extrovert so lots of people already know lots about me whether they like it or not! But here goes… I love rugby, watching not playing, so I’m really missing my teams hitting the paddock this time of year; Eastwood, the Waratahs and of course the Wallabies. I’m Finnish by birth so the second ‘I’ in Tiina is legitimate and not a typo or based on the recommendation of a numerologist. I speak Finnish but it’s a bit rough, not much call on it in Australia! I’m married with 2 adults sons with whom I have completely failed to promote our profession. They hate the thought of sitting at a laptop, are both carpenter/builders and to this day can’t really explain what I do. I hope all you have more luck!

Melanie Courtright

CEO, the Insights Association

Three wishes for 2020?

 As you may have guessed, I have needed to revise my wishes during the past several weeks.

Top of mind for me now is the health and well-being of all of us. As it pertains to our industry – for our country and the entire world, really – is that our economies bounce back quickly. Insights will take on an important role in our recovery. We have been quick to advocate for the need to continue collecting data during this crisis. Only by consistent measurement can we track the shifting sentiments of consumers and identify key turning points.

Another wish is that IA will continue to be a trusted source of information, connection and reassurance for our members. We have been proud to deliver timely information to our members and offer them a place to connect with peers when they’ve needed it the most. We quickly launched a survey that provided visibility into project pipelines and client-side plans, and we have hosted several Virtual Town Halls in which members received expert advice on contracts/cancellation policies, contingency planning, macro-economic impact, and shifting consumer sentiment. These forums have also enabled them to hear directly from business owners and other leaders about how they are managing through this crisis.

We’ll also deliver additional webinars and bring the content planned for our NEXT conference to a virtual platform, June 1-3. Just like our members, we will need to be agile – how can we facilitate networking and engagement among attendees during an online event? We’re excited to try some things and learn what works.

I’m also hopeful that we will welcome many new members this year. We’re already off to a very strong start. I’m having wonderful conversations with providers of insights services as well as heads of corporate departments. They are enthusiastic about what IA is doing and how we can help them achieve their goals. With the participation and involvement of these new organizations, many on the leading edge of work in data analytics, it will bring fresh and innovative perspectives that will help inform and energize our entire membership.

Top challenges facing our sector in the next 3 years?

The current health crisis has made it a challenge for many companies – particularly startups and small- and mid-sized firms – to simply remain open and viable. I’m hopeful that many will be able to tap into the loans and other resources made available through the U.S. government so they can ride this out. And we will continue to push for additional federal resources for the insights and data analytics industry.

Companies across the industry also must learn from this crisis. It has become abundantly clear that every company must have established contingency plans, an agile mindset, and the systems, structure and workforce to match. Those able to quickly pivot from in-person qual to online qual platforms, for example, were able to mitigate some of the initial impact to their businesses.

Looking ahead, companies must assess the potential long-term impact of this crisis. Will it change the way we do research? Will it change the priorities of brands? Will it change how we engage participants in research? We must not simply follow along the new paths that may emerge; we must predict what those paths are, inform the industry as things evolve, and help our clients optimize these new opportunities. We must lead from the front.

Companies operating in our space need to remain keenly aware of new data streams. This is an issue in terms of data privacy, but also how businesses evolve to lead in a new era.

In terms of data privacy, here in the U.S. we currently operate under a patchwork of state legislation, which is difficult for research companies to stay on top of and manage. IA is a founding member of Privacy for America, a leading consortium that is working at the highest levels to develop a national data privacy law. By having a seat at the table as this legislation is crafted, we are working to ensure that it is as friendly as possible to those working in our industry.

So, we are hopeful that a national data privacy law will be enacted and that this will bring needed clarity and consistency. Advances in technology and new ways to collect data from individuals will continue and at a more rapid pace. As an industry, we need to be proactive by setting clear guardrails and staying true to our commitment to integrity and a strong ethical compass. This way, no matter how the insights practice evolves, we know we’re doing all we can to ensure that we remain a largely self-regulated industry.

As data streams continue to emerge and evolve, market research must prove its value. Analytics alone won’t provide the insights and strategic action that businesses need. Making sense of the data, connecting the right dots, leveraging our consumer behavior expertise to craft the most effective, impactful messaging and campaigns. As some corporations phase out the traditional position of CMO and others merge UX and MR, and still others perform data analytics across companies in various silos, we need to know where we fit. We need to quantify and pronounce where we add value – now and as these organizational structures shift and analytics functions broaden and strengthen.

Staffing and skills development also will be a challenge. The competition for data scientists is fierce and companies in our space are competing for talent against many other industries. There’s also a demand to infuse soft skills into the mix. We feel IA can help in these areas through our education programs and conferences.

 Biggest opportunities facing our sector in the next 3 years?

Data will continue to drive business decisions, but not raw data alone. This is where the expertise and skills applied by those in insights can really shine and prove instrumental. Our knowledge of data sources, our knowledge of marketing and the entire corporate structure, and perhaps most importantly, our knowledge of the consumer and how individuals interact with the world around them. But to secure a place at the forefront, it’s crucial for insights teams to maintain that curiosity and thirst for learning. To remain important partners within corporations, insights must continue to prioritize and invest in the study of human behavior, neuroscience, and technologies of all kinds.

Another opportunity we have is to excite and engage a new generation. Our industry has so much going for it, and it’s up to all of us to showcase it to those about to enter the workforce. We need to highlight that we’re on the front lines of important decisions, illustrate the wide variety of roles which exist across the field – for introverts and extroverts, for those who love the social sciences or statistics or technology or innovation. It’s also proven to be an excellent pathway into the highest roles in marketing and the C-suite. And there’s a vibrant entrepreneurial spirit here as well. IA has strong ties to many colleges and universities across the U.S. and we’re looking to leverage that to help our industry.

Little known / fun facts about Melanie?

I grew up in a small town in Florida, and we grew up very modest, but happy. My father worked on a dredge boat, the boats that dredge up sand and other materials to make channels deeper for boats, and to build beaches and bridges. After high school, I went to college as a voice major and languages minor, and then joined the US Army as a linguist. I actually found my way to research after the Army and five years at Texas Instruments by doing translation work for a Dallas-based full-service research firm.  And I still sing actively in my personal life as a first soprano in choirs. I have three children and four grandchildren.

As the leading voice, resource and network of the market research and data analytics community in the United States, the Insights Association helps its members create competitive advantage. A founding member of GRBN and ARIA, IA has accomplished much during the past several months and many new initiatives are underway. Here are just a few brief highlights of recent work, all guided by the four pillars of its mission: Protect, Connect, Inform and Promote.

• Helped secure dozens of amendments to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), improving the chances our industry will be able to comply with this wide-sweeping law, which came into effect on January 1, 2020; assisted in procuring a $1 billion funding increase for the 2020 U.S. Census and defeated a proposed citizenship question that would have diminished the accuracy of the U.S. industry’s most vital data backbone.
• Bringing to all conferences renewed excitement, objective education, and opportunities to connect with peers. This begins with a reinvention of the NEXT conference, June 1-2 in New York, which will provide much-needed unbiased education on many emerging market research skills as well as such coveted “soft” skills as problem solving, influential storytelling, team building and leadership, and much more.
• As a founding member of the Privacy for America Coalition, IA is working with leaders in Washington, DC, to forge a U.S. federal data privacy law that will not impede our work, and critically, that will eliminate the impossibly complex requirement of complying with dozens of individual U.S. state laws.
• Revised in 2019 with 130+ updates and improvements, IA’s Code of Standards and Ethics for Marketing Research and Data Analytics presents the fundamental, overarching principles of ethics and professionalism for the industry and helps ensure vital protection for data subjects while establishing a needed platform for self-regulation.
• Recently announced was a revision and expansion of the association’s individual certification program previously known as PRC. To be rolled out in 2020, the Insights Professional Certification (IPC) program reflects new methodologies, techniques and technology. There will be multiple pathways towards certification at different levels and specialties – accomplished with unprecedented coordination and support of the industry’s leading education providers.
• IA subsidiary CIRQ (the Certification Institute for Research Quality) is leading the way in providing International Standards Organization (ISO) audit and certification services to the all-new 20252 market research and data analytics standard and ISO 27001, one of the most widely recognized and internationally accepted information security standards.

With a new CEO, six new Board members, a growing membership, and an expanded events calendar, 2020 will be a landmark year for the Insights Association.

GRBN Launches Global Speakers Database

WASHINGTON  – December 16, 2019 – The Global Research Business Network (GRBN) today announces the launch of the GRBN Global Speakers Database.

The database is designed to become an invaluable resource for the global market research and insights sector and serves two key purposes:

Firstly, the GRBN Global Speakers Database is a resource for event organizers in our sector, who seek experts to speak at their events, and secondly it is an opportunity for experts desiring to speak at industry events across the globe to market themselves to event organizers.

Bernd Wachter, EFAMRO President, states: “EFAMRO supports the creation of the GRBN global speaker database to help national associations source suitable speakers for their conferences and events.  We welcome any resources which help associations to be more efficient and effective in delivering their services, and hope for a database of speakers covering a broad range of languages.”

Elissa Molloy, AMSRS CEO, notes: “Having a centralised database to share industry speakers from around the globe is a great initiative. This tool would be beneficial and efficient in the review and selection of speakers for our annual conference and our professional development program in Australia. A list of respected and renowned speakers along with their presentation topics is a great way for us to ensure that we can meet the interest and professional development needs of our members.”

Urpi Torrado, ARIA Co-chair adds: “The Speakers Database is an invaluable tool that will contribute to the development and strengthening of our industry. Associations will benefit with the complete information and experience from speakers worldwide. This will facilitate contacting experts in any topic needed for local and international events. This is also a way to promote talent in the market research industry and to connect all players in this field.”

The GRBN Global Speakers Database can be accessed via this link: https://grbn.org/speakers. We recommend that event organizers bookmark this page since new speakers will be regularly added to the database.

GRBN would like to thank the experts, who agreed to be the first speakers to be added to the database, and we look forward to welcoming many more experts to the database as we move into 2020.

For more information on the GRBN Global Speakers Database please contact Andrew Cannon, GRBN’s Executive Director, at info@grbn.org.
