Exploring a post COVID-19 future; a vision of the ‘new normal’ from a cultural and consumer view
Presented by: David Cousino | Anheuser-Busch InBev, Global Brand Insight Director & Jonathan Williams | Discover.ai, Founder

The reality in which we now live is changing daily. But understanding the impact of COVID-19 today is not enough, we need to understand the longer term impact of these changes and anticipate what the ‘new normal’ will be as fundamental shifts in attitudes and behaviours will likely expose brands to unforeseen future threats and new opportunities.

AB InBev partnered with Discover.ai to explore this future, with a particular focus on the impact of COVID-19 and social distancing on our mindset and mental wellbeing and how brands will need to engage with people in the future.

Discover.ai’s machine learning platform, augmented with human expertise and creativity, was the perfect methodology to explore this question, giving a depth of insight normally associated with large strategic research programme in just a few days.

The results of this study gave a unique insight into self-reliance, personal identity, sense of community and need for meaning in a post pandemic world, and how people may seek a very different relationship with their brands post COVID-19.

These results, alongside other sources of COVID research, have shaped AB InBev’s longer term post-COVID growth strategies…

“Discover.ai were able to give us insights into the impact of COVID-19 and social distancing on the human mindset that it would have been impossible to find any other way, fast.”

How King, the makers of Candy Crush, are developing a consumer-centric research strategy
Presented by: Ritu Bhushan | King.com, Associate Director, Player Insights

Now, more than ever, businesses are being challenged to adapt from being product-centric to being customer-centric. Consumer expectations are higher than they ever were before and brands need a way to listen to their needs and react to them quickly.

Traditional qualitative research doesn’t always allow for being agile and reactive to consumer needs. In this session, we’ll address some agile approaches to obtaining rich qualitative insight to truly understand the “why” behind consumer data, offering a full 360-degree view of consumers, at the speed of business.

If you want to step up your ability to story-tell with data thereby enabling teams to make everyday consumer-centric decisions, then this session is for you!

Five Tactics to Triple CX Impact with Artificial Intelligence
Presented by: Rajul Jain | Microsoft, Senior Manager & Frank Buckler | Success Drivers, CEO

It is not enough to simply claim to be customer obsessed. In a climate where a moment of inconvenience could be enough to push customers to switch to your competitor, brands must deliver what customers want. To do this effectively and accurately, brands need to consistently plug themselves into various sources of customer feedback.

And yet, the reality is a majority of customer feedback is not fully leveraged today, with many businesses overwhelmed by the task of processing the high volumes of data and the soaring costs when deployed at scale.

This presentation featuring a case study from Microsoft is a step-by-step guide on what it takes to drive value from unstructured CX feedback, providing insights on the approach needed for text analytics to drive business action. Attendees of this presentation will learn practical insights to apply in their business about:
• Transforming business actions leveraging unstructured customer feedback. Microsoft explains their former challenges and how they overcome those with their new text analytics solution.
• Codifying messy text data with human-like precision and great granularity using Augmented AI
• Getting better feedback with an AI-powered probing-bot-plugin in CX surveys
• Developing key hidden drivers of CX using AI-powered key driver analysis
• Making it easy, seamless, and valuable for business stakeholders to consume insights and integrate them in their CX strategy
• Predicting results of actions and gain trust when prediction hit reality.

Presented by: Taryn Prince | VSP, Senior Research Strategist &
Kristi Zuhlke | KnowledgeHound, CEO and Co-Founder

Three challenges that insights teams face when leveraging survey data is that their data is not easily accessible, analytics on that data requires a great deal of technical ability, and all of the disparate customer data sources (including qual video data) are not unified in one place. This presentation will cover how Taryn Prince and her team at VSP tackled each of these barriers so that they were no longer drowning in data and, instead, swimming in an accessible, unified, and intuitive data warehouse.
