Session Description

Research isn’t just about methods and if you do just keep it about methods you are missing an opportunity to make a strategic impact. Hear how the newly formed research team at Totally Money used coaching and influence to get a seat at the strategic table.

During this session you'll hear from the team at Totally Money that started the formal research program, the old habits they had to break and how they leverage coaching and influence more than method selection to illustrate the impact of research at a FinTech on a mission to improve the UK's credit score and help people move on up to a better future.
