With a new decade arriving against a backdrop of global, regional and national uncertainty, the business of insight is facing the most radical set of challenges it has ever seen. Changing buying habits, a febrile economy, digital disruption and geopolitical realignments are having a major effect on how we seek to understand consumers and citizens, and how we organise and perform our valuable work. Impact 2020 will face these challenges head on, setting a new agenda for the research world to do more than just survive, but capitalize, and prove that in an era of uncertainty, evidence still matters.
