From training, and book reviews to short free webinars that are 15-20 minutes in duration with industry pioneers and thinkers, including the likes of:

  • Mark Earls, (author of “Herd” and “I’ll have what she’s Having”)

We’re a big fan of Wendy Gordon  (Founding Partner of Acacia Avenue) talk about the origins of qualitative research as we know it, and how this has influenced what the world of qualitative research looks like today. Here she also reflects a little on what the future may hold and tells us why she’s optimistic.
