Creativity And Consumer Empowerment Through Experimentation
We are in a moment of unprecedented experimentation. Forrester data shows that today, 53% of US consumers admit they are always open to trying out new brands, products, and experiences — a decade ago, only 39% of US online adults agreed. The growing appetite for novelty is changing the dynamics of whom consumers trust and how they buy. Rapid consumer experimentation has opened the playing field for spunky upstarts to boast new business models, lure customers into low-risk trials, and peel away at incumbents’ market share. But willingness to experiment can also morph into a state of mindless distraction where messages don’t register with consumers and the barrier for creating powerful emotional memories rises. Recorded at our recent Technology & Innovation North America event, in this session, learn about how brands that spin radically creative stories and pilot new methods of customer engagement are the beginning of what’s to come.
Speakers:
Anjali Lai, Senior Analyst, Forrester
Stop Burning Out Your Best People
Burned out people don’t have resources to be creative, but burnout is difficult to detect and correct. Our new research shows that burnout at work is not always the opposite of engagement. Some of your most engaged employees are also burning out, and you won’t know until it’s too late. Recorded at our recent Technology & Innovation North America event, we’ll show you how to identify different types of burnout and how to support employees who want to be their creative best at work.
Start Today: A Practical Framework For Using Instant Feedback To Power Real-Time CX
Lag time in customer feedback won’t cut it. Market conditions and customer sentiments move too fast for an outdated customer feedback system that takes weeks or months to go from collection to insights. Recorded at our recent CX event, join Steve Peltzman, Forrester’s chief business technology officer and head of FeedbackNow, as he offers a practical, actionable framework for implementing real-time CX operations at your organization. Plus, get an overview of some of the technologies that can help you revolutionize your customer experiences.

Get Ready For The Future European Workplace in 2022 and Beyond
This panel focuses on the future of work in a European context. Forrester sees several factors that are influencing the future of work in a European context. Some of them include the ongoing economic uncertainty in several European regions and countries, the rapid technological changes across all industries, and supply-chain challenges affecting both demand and supply of European consumers and vendors. All of these issues are disrupting and shaping work environments.
Most of the trends we see today have been around for a while – but have been accelerated and boosted by the pandemic. There will be many challenges like job eliminations, ongoing skills shortages, and challenging employment conditions in several European regions for many years to come. But there are many positive indications for the European job market overall – above all that it will become more dynamic. Employees are demanding greater flexibility at work, employee experience initiatives are growing in importance, and technologies are supporting more dynamic work conditions. This panel discusses the main dynamics shaping the future of work in Europe. It aims to help policymakers and technology and business leaders to shape and develop their talent and workforce strategies for 2022 and beyond.
