Insights Nexus: Where Human-Centric Innovation Meets Sustainable Transformation

Join us at the Insights Nexus event, where pioneering minds converge to explore the dynamic intersection of human-centric innovation and sustainable transformation. Embrace the power of AI-driven consumer insights and discover the essential skills that will revolutionize insights teams in the ever-changing consumer landscape. Challenge the conventional notion of “actionable insights” in the realm of human-centric research as we redefine the art of making research truly impactful and action oriented. 

At the heart of the event lies the quest to make sustainability irresistible through a unique desirability formula. Unearth the underlying triggers that captivate consumers and drive sustainability initiatives across industries. Witness live demonstrations of this formula in action, inspiring your organization to reimagine narratives, craft authentic products, and resonate with conscious consumers. 

Afternoon Theme

Building Resiliency From the Supply Chain to the Consumer

Businesses today face an unparalleled era of uncertainty, from geopolitical conflict to extreme weather events and from scarcity of critical materials to shifting consumer attitudes — and of course sustainability is still a growing imperative. How can strategy and innovation leaders future-proof their companies in affected industries like consumer goods and industrial manufacturing? Innovation is needed to develop the technologies, consumer insight tools, and business models that build resiliency and uncover new sustainable growth opportunities.  

This Lux Forum brings together the latest research from Lux Research analysts along with insights from top executives to explore this and other critical questions.
