Data Integrity with Cindy Neumann of the Insights Association

Intellicast

Welcome back to Intellicast! In today’s episode, Brian Lamar and Producer Brian are joined by Cindy Neumann of the Insights Association and EMI’s own Mary Draper. This is a great episode to discuss some of the great things going on in our industry, especially the initiatives being led by the Insights Association.

The interview kicks off with a quick chat about Cindy’s background and what led her to market research. Like many researchers, Cindy kind of fell into the market research industry and has spent the majority of her career on the syndicated data side of things. About a year ago, Cindy had the opportunity to join the Insights Association, where she works now.

In the next segment of the interview, Cindy takes some time to discuss the Insights Association DII Council (Data Integrity Initiative Council), a committee dedicated to improving data quality. She shares how and why the DII was created, who is on the council, and some of their current efforts.

This segues into a conversation surrounding the Data Integrity Toolkit, a resource created by the DII for anyone who is interested in learning more about data quality. Cindy shares some of the areas that the toolkit focuses on, and Mary discusses how she uses the toolkit in her role at EMI. We also get an idea of what will be coming with the next release, what the DII is currently working on, and some of their most important initiatives including a partnership with MRS, ESOMAR, and SampleCon.

If you have a passion for data quality or have been looking for a way to get more involved in the market research industry, this episode is for you!
