Interviews and expert opinion
Qualitative Inputs
Qualitative research can provide valuable insights into CEO strategies and views, as well as useful context for quantitative analysis. Our team has long experience in gathering qualitative prospectives through advisory boards and expert panels.
Advisory boards
Our senior team is skilled at giving presentations and leading discussions. By leveraging our executive contacts and the ThoughtLab reputation, we are able to organize meetings of key decision-makers from business, government, and academia.
Expert panels
In addition to our internal intellectual firepower, we manage an active network of over 100 global economists, industry specialists, and subject matter experts who contribute to research and participate in meetings. We also draw on research partnerships with top economic consultancies, global research firms, academic institutions, and think tanks.
Senior executive interviews
One of our key strengths is conducting interviews with top decision-makers from business and government to obtain their perspectives on critical issues. Thanks to the seniority of our staff, and their years of experience, ThoughtLab has the ability to reach executives at the highest management levels.
"We are always thrilled to work with ThoughtLab, who has been an insightful and responsive partner when it comes to delivering research, data and analysis that we can then turn into actionable content for our clients."
Andrew Borys, Senior Manager, Marketing, Publicis Sapient
Webinars and events
ThoughtLab develops, organizes, and enriches webinars and events built around our thought leadership research. Lou Celi and his senior analysts moderate and speak at events covering a range of management topics, industry trends, and digital technologies and solutions. Recent topics have included how ESG is transforming wealth management, building a future-ready city, and cybersecurity solutions for a riskier world, and the future of mobility and transportation. ThoughtLab’s marketing team and partners, which include CityAge, SmartCitiesWorld, and FinTech B2B Marketing, also organize events, including programming, promoting, and managing the web conference logistics.
Our events integrate three key ingredients:
Direct access to decision makers seeking strategic, actionable insights uncovered by our thought leadership research. The events, which are typically invitation-only, are targeted to a high-level executive audience, including corporate and government decision makers.
Timely, evidence-based analysis and forecasts that draws a senior audience by providing valuable insights into the current and future practices, plans, and performance results of private- and public-sector organizations, as well as the changing needs and behaviors of citizens, consumers, and investors.
Valuable peer interchange. Rather than tedious presentations, our events encourage active peer interchange among senior executives and top experts and economists. Our analysis not only provides a valuable foundation for thought-provoking discussion, but also enables the use of benchmarking tools and pulse surveys to make that discussion more immersive.
