Book Club: "Fluke" by Brian Klaas
2025-01-15 12:00 - 12:45
Feeling stuck or overwhelmed?
‘Fluke’ by Brian Klaas might just be the read you need. It challenges the idea that success follows a set formula and reminds us that life’s chaos brings endless opportunities.
ICG member Steph Holland will lead a discussion about this book.
What really hit home for Steph from the book was: You matter. What you do matters. And only you can do it. Every small action counts, and this book is a powerful reminder that you have the ability to shape your own path. Join us for a discussion on how Fluke inspires action and optimism in uncertain times.

Futuresight: Rob Waddington:
Exploring experiences of communications services amongst consumers, citizens and microbusinesses in the UK.

Futuresight documented the experiences of these audiences in 3 ethnographic short films – from inner city estates to the wilds of the Shetland isles. The films helped the Communications Consumer Panel (CCP) connect the individuals and communities they represent more directly with industry, civil society and government, resulting in the CCP having to do less to initiate policy change.

The Word Is Out: Dan Parker-Smith:
Customer Closeness Videos

Dan started working with Futures Housing Group (FHG) on a four-month customer closeness project, bringing to life existing segments of customers living in FHG properties. The project evolved into a near 20 month deep dive into peoples’ lives delivering our insight using a selection of short-films. The outcome was transformative for FHG, as the films got the emotion of living in social housing across, leading to positive change for their customers.

The power of closeness-led insight to build influence in businesses

Wren use interactive experiences, events and customer story films to create big shifts in customer EQ, giving Insight teams wider reach and greater influence to create change.
