AI as Partner and Processor: Transforming Consumer-Centric Innovation
In the ever-evolving landscape of AI, dualities emerge as fundamental aspects of its application in consumer insight and ethnographic research. At Lux Research, we’ve pioneered the integration of AI to serve a twofold purpose: as a robust automation tool and as an insightful assistant. This webinar delves into the intricate dance between these roles, examining how AI’s capability to autonomously analyze vast cultural data intersects with its role in enhancing consumer-centric innovation and strategic applications.
AI as an automation tool represents a shift in ethnographic practice, allowing for the handling of complex data analyses that traditionally required extensive human effort. This transformative approach enables a more profound exploration of cultural insights, offering a broader understanding of consumer behaviors and societal trends.
Transitioning to AI as an assistant, we unveil how our technology acts as a collaborative partner that augments the intellectual capacity of researchers and strategists. This AI assists in contextualizing insights within business frameworks, thus fostering a creative and interactive brainstorming process that propels strategic decision-making.
During this session, we:
- Discuss the operational efficiencies and depth of analyses afforded by AI in automating the initial stages of ethnographic research.
- Explore the dynamic role of AI as an interactive assistant, guiding the application of cultural insights to actionable business strategies.
- Present case studies demonstrating the transformative impact of AI on our ethnographic research methodologies and consumer-centric outcomes.
Join us to explore how the dualities of AI can be harnessed to achieve unprecedented levels of insight and applications in the realm of predictive anthropology and consumer-driven innovation.
Évaluer les possibilités d'élimination des déchets dans le secteur des produits de grande consommation
The ongoing success of consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies is called into question as input costs rise, regulations and labeling requirements proliferate, and global supply chains weaken or break down. Geopolitics, climate change, and shifting consumer behavior drive ongoing stress into the industry. However, companies can still create growth by focusing on opportunities with waste streams. Food and agriculture wastes have significant value as feedstocks used to create an increasingly diverse set of products, including lipids, minerals, antioxidants, fiber, and other industrial products and intermediates. But commercializing circular opportunities is difficult, with numerous challenges, including resource availability, business model, consumer demand, and regulations. This webinar provides a framework to help you identify opportunities based on waste attributes, available technology, and emerging markets.

Building Flexibility from Product Development to Production
Traditional reliance on economies of scale in manufacturing makes it difficult to quickly change products and production processes. Consequently, many companies haven’t been able to readily adapt to disruptions in supply chains or shifting market dynamics. Yet, to meet business and sustainability goals in this increasingly unpredictable world, flexibility is more critical than ever before — and fortunately, thanks
to innovation and new technologies, it’s also more achievable. This presentation highlights innovations for achieving greater flexibility within your organization, including tools that can equip innovation and research teams.
Décarbonisation de l'industrie : Cartographie des progrès sur le Lux Carbon Canvas
Les industries lourdes telles que l'acier, le ciment et l'aluminium sont cruciales pour la société, mais elles sont aussi d'importants émetteurs de gaz à effet de serre. Les entreprises de ce secteur sont toutes soumises à une forte pression pour décarboniser leurs activités, mais progressent-elles suffisamment ?
Ce webinaire utilise le Lux Carbon Canvas pour cartographier les entreprises industrielles, évaluer leurs efforts de décarbonisation et élaborer des stratégies futures pour la décarbonisation industrielle.
Les facteurs déterminant l'avenir du carbone
Renewable sources of carbon can include recycling, biomass, and CO₂ from direct air capture or biogenic point sources. However, these sources each have different qualities, different availabilities, and different technologies needed. In short, each carbon source implies an entirely different value chain. Where do these value chains and technologies fit in the current and future landscapes? Will there be one winner or a mix, and how will the carbon economy evolve moving forward? Lux Research discusses the drivers for the carbon economy and how to make sense of a growing landscape. We highlight key case studies across the many options available and showcase which technologies can give a decisive advantage.

Comment rester centré sur l'humain dans la révolution de l'IA ?
The words human insight get thrown out a lot these days. Yet when we ask organizations what the term really means, we often get disparate responses. The reality is that leaders within organizations themselves haven’t come to a clear agreement on what defines a truly human insight and how it can be effectively operationalized within the research and innovation work stream. In the midst of the AI revolution, it has become increasingly crucial to prioritize human-centricity to prevent it from being overshadowed by the AI madness. Join us for this webinar as we delve into the power of anthropology in fostering human-centricity and ensuring that generative AI is aligned with human needs.
How to Translate Consumer Perspectives into a Consumer Health Tech Assessment Roadmap
The consumer health industry continues to face significant challenges going into 2024 in the current market downturn. For one, aggressive growth strategies of the past were positioned for higher demand for consumer health services. While the pandemic is technically still ongoing, most people have moved on and learned to live with the new reality, while higher interest rates have made the industry approach growth more conservatively. Second, a lot of these growth strategies were hoping to entice consumers with fancy new products and services without first understanding consumer behaviors and attitudes toward addressing their health condition. That lack of understanding doomed these strategies.
In this session, we’ll explore the value of connecting anthropological insights to technology assessments for the creation of innovation strategies that truly address the health conditions consumers care about, and then we’ll highlight how companies can build a tech assessment roadmap from there. Whether you represent the chemicals, materials, consumer packaged goods, or another industry, or if your organization is involved in any part of the value chain in a consumer health product, this session will leave you with a fresh approach toward technology assessment for a good product-market fit.
Identifying Where Algae's Latest Bloom Will Decarbonize Sustainable Alternatives

Unlocking the Future of Healthy Aging in APAC Through a Consumer-Centric Lens
Foresight isn’t about predicting the future; it’s about systematically examining patterns of language and systems of meaning that exist just outside the contextual boundary of a trend. By measuring the rate of change and likelihood of a topic becoming relevant, we can gain a deeper understanding of the future and how we can assess whether a technology is keeping pace with emerging consumer needs. Rapidly aging societies are upon us, especially in developed economies like Japan and Singapore. But what does the future of healthy aging look like? Historically, aging has been seen in the context of healthcare needs, but there are a lot of other aspects to aging as well, such as lifestyle, mobility, social support, and nutrition. In addition, not everyone in their senior years needs serious medical attention; many continue to lead healthy, active lifestyles, albeit taking into consideration their altered energy and physical condition. All these factors present a market opportunity. But what are consumers and their loved ones in this category really looking for? Where do we see the biggest gaps and opportunities?

Pourquoi les connaissances culturelles sont-elles importantes pour l'innovation ?
Now more than ever before, there is a recognition that shifts in culture have a direct impact; not just on the current lines of business but also on the future trajectory of an organization. Whether it relates to large social issues or the development of new norms and language codes, every shift could leave an organization feeling irrelevant rather quickly (if the right measures aren’t taken), which is why we put this session together. While there’s a recognition of the importance of understanding culture and its impact on a business, there is still a long way to go in an organization’s ability to understand culture and bring it into the inner workings of its operations.
Vous, moi, GPT : Analyse de l'impact de l'IA générative sur l'innovation
L'IA générative a été la tendance d'innovation la plus brûlante de 2023 : Elle a défini l'ascension, la chute et la résurrection spectaculaires du PDG d'OpenAI, Sam Altman, a créé la frénésie spéculative autour de Nvidia et a suscité une action majeure de la part des instances dirigeantes des États-Unis et de l'UE. Les partisans de l'IA pensent qu'elle marquera le début d'une nouvelle ère de développement humain, tandis que ceux qui se décrivent comme des pessimistes sont convaincus qu'elle mettra fin à la civilisation. Qu'est-ce qui est vrai ? Qu'est-ce qui relève du battage médiatique ? Qu'est-ce qui relève de la pure fantaisie scientifique ? Faire le tri dans ces questions sera essentiel pour les responsables de l'innovation, qui sont sous pression pour mettre en œuvre l'IA dans leurs propres entreprises et processus.
This webinar digs into what generative AI is, what it isn’t, and explores the impacts and implications of generative AI on innovation.
