The State of Insights – February 2024 – An Automated Summary

The third wave of the NewMR study looking at the state of insights has just closed its data collection and we have the views of 330 insight and research professionals from around the world. A few days ago, I shared a word cloud based on one part of the data. As the next step in looking at the data, I used ResearchWiseAI to produce an automated summary.
