font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; color: #363839;">AI isn’t taking the jobs of qualitative researchers—it’s transforming them. Rather than replacing the human skills of empathy, context, and storytelling, AI is enhancing how researchers synthesize insights, accelerate analysis, and scale their influence. The evolving role now includes curating AI-generated outputs, designing smarter research flows, and applying judgment to sift signal from noise. Qual researchers are no longer just investigators—they’re becoming orchestrators of insight in an AI-augmented ecosystem.</span></p><hr /><h1>SPEAKER</h1><div class="col-md-2 col-sm-2 col-xs-4 speakerImages" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-right: 15px; padding-left: 15px; float: left; width: 188.32px; background-color: #ffffff;"><div class="thumbnail" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 4px; margin-bottom: 20px; line-height: 1.42857; border: 1px solid #dddddd; border-radius: 4px; transition: border 0.2s ease-in-out; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.075) 0px 1px 2px;"><img src="https://cdn.ce21.com/images/Iz8W_HZJi0Gx-HoDFO5WAg-200.jpg" alt="Yogesh Chavda's Profile" style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; vertical-align: middle; display: block; max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;" /></div></div><div class="col-md-10 col-sm-10 col-xs-12" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-right: 15px; padding-left: 15px; float: left; width: 941.66px; background-color: #ffffff;"><h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px; color: #eebd5e; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a title="Yogesh Chavda's detail page" aria-label="Redirect to Yogesh Chavda's detail page" href="https://qualology.qrca.org/speaker/yogesh-chavda-1580153" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent;">Yogesh Chavda</a><a title="Other seminars and products from Yogesh Chavda" class="pull-right lnkSpeakerRelated" href="https://qualology.qrca.org/speaker/yogesh-chavda-1580153" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent;">Related Seminars and Products</a></h3><h4 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.1; color: inherit; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">Y2S Consulting</h4><hr style="box-sizing: content-box; height: 0px; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-image: initial; border-top-style: solid; border-top-color: #eeeeee;" /></div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: #363839; line-height: 20px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: #363839; line-height: 20px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: #363839; line-height: 20px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: #363839; line-height: 20px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: #363839; line-height: 20px;">Yogesh Chavda’s 25+ years as a marketing executive are highlighted by pivotal roles and impactful initiatives at organizations that dominate their field and have left a cultural impact.

We’ll share best practices for working with AI-generated persona agents, and walk through a detailed case study from a project that shows how one MedTech company built and used an AI-generated physician persona.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #363839; background-color: #ffffff;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #363839; background-color: #ffffff;" /><span style="color: #363839; background-color: #ffffff;">You'll learn:</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #363839; background-color: #ffffff;" /><span style="color: #363839; background-color: #ffffff;">- What AI Persona Agents are</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #363839; background-color: #ffffff;" /><span style="color: #363839; background-color: #ffffff;">- Why and how you should be using them</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #363839; background-color: #ffffff;" /><span style="color: #363839; background-color: #ffffff;">- How they add to – not replace! – human-based research&nbsp;</span></p><hr /><h1>SPEAKER</h1><div class="row" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-right: -15px; margin-left: -15px; background-color: #ffffff;"><div class="col-md-2 col-sm-2 col-xs-4 speakerImages" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-right: 15px; padding-left: 15px; float: left; width: 188.32px;"><div class="thumbnail" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding: 4px; margin-bottom: 20px; line-height: 1.42857; border: 1px solid #dddddd; border-radius: 4px; transition: border 0.2s ease-in-out; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.075) 0px 1px 2px;"><img src="https://cdn.ce21.com/images/DjjxUFWU60-HlJnpKAQdvw-200.jpg" alt="Jason Kramer, BA's Profile" style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; vertical-align: middle; display: block; max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;" /></div></div><div class="col-md-10 col-sm-10 col-xs-12" style="box-sizing: border-box; padding-right: 15px; padding-left: 15px; float: left; width: 941.66px;"><h3 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; line-height: 24px; color: #eebd5e; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a title="Jason Kramer, BA's detail page" aria-label="Redirect to Jason Kramer, BA's detail page" href="https://qualology.qrca.org/speaker/jason-kramer-698601" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent;">Jason Kramer, BA</a><a title="Other seminars and products from Jason Kramer, BA" class="pull-right lnkSpeakerRelated" href="https://qualology.qrca.org/speaker/jason-kramer-698601" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent;">Related Seminars and Products</a></h3><h4 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.1; color: inherit; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 17px;">Managing Director</h4><h4 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.1; color: inherit; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">Vital Findings</h4><hr style="box-sizing: content-box; height: 0px; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-image: initial; border-top-style: solid; border-top-color: #eeeeee;" /></div></div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: #363839; line-height: 20px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: #363839; line-height: 20px;">Jason leads Vital Findings' R&amp;D efforts, developing new methods for using visual questions to improve data accuracy, new approaches to segmentation and customer lifecycle research, and new methods for evangelizing research results through information design.

They named their firm “The Candor Company” to emphasize the importance of authenticity in all of their work - whether it be their approach or the environment in which they conduct their work.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />Jonathan started the path toward qualitative research after graduating from the University of Virginia by working in the advertising industry. He saw his first focus group and thought he would be a natural at it. He was right but it took him some time to get there with stops at Emory University for business school and a job in GE’s marketing research department along the way.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />His affinity for video dates back to childhood, when he would spend hours creating home movies and watching television. That same passion now fuels his approach to qualitative storytelling, blending curiosity, empathy, and craft to create research that’s as insightful as it is entertaining.&nbsp;</p><div style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 10px;"><div class="social_icons pull-right" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box; float: right; margin-right: 5px;"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanschneidercandorist/" target="_blank" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent;"><img src="https://cdn.ce21.com/assets/img/SocialMedia/32x32/linkedin.png" aria-label="Connect with Jonathan Schneider through LinkedIn" alt="LinkedIn" style="box-sizing: border-box; border-width: 0px; border-style: initial; vertical-align: middle;" /></a></div><div>&nbsp;</div></div></div>]]></description>

But what does neutral mean?&nbsp; How do we maneuver around our very human traits of having a point of view about the findings or what we wish the outcome would be on behalf of our clients?&nbsp; What do we do when we have opinions on topics or when it is emotionally triggering? This webinar will answer those questions.&nbsp;</p><hr /></div>
