The Insight industry is changing - dramatically and fast! When I left employment last year to return to self employment I pitched myself to established agencies needing short-term, highly experienced/senior strategic insight resource. It didnt work! Maybe there's not a lot of contract work about - or maybe its me 🤷♀️! I have, however, been working (almost) continuously direct-for-client... which is brilliant - but sometimes lonely - and scary when there's no one to share dilemmas with. I absolutely believe Insight Professionals are better working in 2s, 3s or as part of a team. What if that team were all highly experienced strategic thinkers - from mixed backgrounds: qual, quant, planning/comms, innovation, ethno, offline/online?... And what if they all had extensive yet differentiated category - and country - experience: alcohol, fmcg, B2B, luxury, tech, healthcare/ pharma, UK/International...? What if they didn't have to answer to corporate owners and equity partners demanding ever-higher revenue and profit? Where instead the focus is entirely on delivering the best quality work to clients who know they're in the safest of hands? Meet Insight Leaders. A collective I'm thrilled to announce I've been invited to join. Seven times more brainpower. Seven times more energy and an exciting announcement in the pipeline which could only come about through genuine collaboration and the wisdom of (small) crowds...

🌎 With talks of an Omnicom & Interpublic Group (IPG) mega-merger, the growing consolidation of creative & media services, pharma’s push to bring HCP & patient media closer together, and tech driving efficiency up while agency rates go down, the balance between global and local realities has never been more urgent. 🌍 Consolidation promises scale, efficiency, and integration - but at what cost? Having sat in global and local agency leadership roles, I’ve seen firsthand how these dynamics play out. The pressure on local teams is real - tighter margins, fewer resources, and rising client demands. And with every new wave of consolidation, these challenges potentially deepen. 👉 Read my latest piece for solli on how global wins shouldn’t come at a local cost. -> https://lnkd.in/eecF2Pp6 I’d love to hear your thoughts...

After 20+ years in Life Sciences and Commercial Ops, December still gets my adrenaline going. One big lesson keeps hitting home: our success rides entirely on our partners getting their breakthrough moments. Here's my take on what to prioritize: 1. Our Partners’ Success: they are the fuel to our growth. The data's clear - 5% better retention drives up to 95% more profit (The CMO https://lnkd.in/eNsjTfpj). One missed delivery can mean months of lost research. Check every schedule commitment you’ve made. 2. Our Team's Growth: they are the engine to our growth. Did you know that companies with sophisticated recognition programs are 12x more likely to see strong business outcomes (Bersin & Deloitte https://lnkd.in/ePyVdjnG). In any industry not just in Life Sciences, this starts with recognizing excellence. 3. Our Strategy and understanding of our Sales Pipeline. Truth: Sure, we need "predictable revenue" (GitLab https://lnkd.in/eGGPwVeW). But first, we need to nail every single step in the process, from first contact to partner satisfaction. Revenue follows excellence. If you think I’m forgetting something let’s get together over a coffee. My treat. I’d like to learn more. #Partners #Employees #YearEndAdvice #Leadership #Innovation Illustration EMxID
