What Makes You Valuable in Insights: Skills & Gaps Today

Think your skills are keeping up with what employers want? The insights landscape is changing fast—AI, business impact, and ROI are raising the bar. But candidates and promotion-seekers vs. hiring managers often aren’t aligned. This panel cuts through the noise to reveal what actually makes someone valuable today—and where many are falling short.
Key Takeaways:
1. Hear from our panel representing platforms, agencies, independent consultants, and recruiters
2. Learn where candidates and employers are most often misaligned—and why
3. Hear perspectives for what has genuinely changed in the past 12–18 months (and what hasn’t)
