00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:05.200
As a business leader,

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:07.975
the fundamental challenge
you face independent of the

00:00:07.975 --> 00:00:08.695
industry you're in,

00:00:08.695 --> 00:00:10.615
whether you're in
pharmaceuticals or finance or

00:00:10.615 --> 00:00:13.655
software development: what
do your customers want?

00:00:13.655 --> 00:00:14.645
It's about ultimately

00:00:15.610 --> 00:00:19.050
being out there and understanding
again, and again, and again,

00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:21.930
how your solution improves
the lives of your customers.

00:00:21.930 --> 00:00:24.845
And that's a
very knowledge-intense challenge.

00:00:24.845 --> 00:00:29.005
This specific human knowledge,
this domain expertise sits in

00:00:29.005 --> 00:00:32.920
the minds of people
scattered around the world; customers,

00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:34.840
distributors,
former executives,

00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.840
people who have accumulated
expertise in a specific area,

00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.945
but they're disconnected from
the need for that expertise,

00:00:41.945 --> 00:00:43.225
could be halfway
around the world -

00:00:43.225 --> 00:00:45.405
an investor / decision
maker somewhere else.

00:00:51.440 --> 00:00:52.400
Our industry,

00:00:52.400 --> 00:00:55.680
the knowledge on demand
industry sits at the center of

00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:59.075
the emerging and rising knowledge
economy because we are about very,

00:00:59.075 --> 00:01:02.675
very quickly connecting
knowledge from one place to

00:01:02.675 --> 00:01:05.315
people seeking that knowledge
in another place around the

00:01:05.315 --> 00:01:07.250
world, across industries,
across borders.

00:01:07.250 --> 00:01:10.690
And when you think about
the ability to leverage that huge

00:01:10.690 --> 00:01:13.935
source of knowledge that is
now underutilized because it's

00:01:13.935 --> 00:01:16.895
scattered and locked up in
millions of minds around the world,

00:01:16.895 --> 00:01:19.215
and we bring this together
and make it available to our

00:01:19.215 --> 00:01:23.190
clients within hours of them
asking us specific questions or

00:01:23.190 --> 00:01:25.350
expressing to us whom
they seek to speak with -

00:01:25.350 --> 00:01:26.970
that is accelerating progress.

00:01:27.965 --> 00:01:30.685
Our product and technology
teams are continuously evolving

00:01:30.685 --> 00:01:34.525
our data model and our
client platform to provide experts

00:01:34.525 --> 00:01:38.870
that are ever more targeted
in greater numbers and speed.

00:01:38.870 --> 00:01:41.670
And that's what our
clients increasingly expect from us.

00:01:41.670 --> 00:01:43.750
We have a structured
knowledge graph,

00:01:43.750 --> 00:01:45.505
which sits at the heart
of our data model.

00:01:45.505 --> 00:01:47.505
That's a map of the
world's knowledge,

00:01:47.505 --> 00:01:50.225
which experts know exactly
about which companies and which

00:01:50.225 --> 00:01:54.720
topics. We fuel that with
tens of thousands of human validated

00:01:54.720 --> 00:01:56.640
data points that
we're collecting every day,

00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.540
and that's what enables us
to serve our clients instantaneously.

00:02:00.160 --> 00:02:03.695
That essentially helps them
power their own businesses and

00:02:03.695 --> 00:02:05.715
in doing so also helps
the broader economy.

00:02:07.775 --> 00:02:09.855
One of our investment
management clients was in the

00:02:09.855 --> 00:02:13.300
final stage of making an
investment in a consumer facing

00:02:13.300 --> 00:02:15.320
AI chatbot. And unexpectedly

00:02:16.020 --> 00:02:19.220
an open source AI app was
released to the public and our

00:02:19.220 --> 00:02:22.965
client needed to rapidly
reassess the potential risks of

00:02:22.965 --> 00:02:25.605
their investment. They were
working on a very tight

00:02:25.605 --> 00:02:28.165
timeline - they had just
48 hours to make this decision.

00:02:28.165 --> 00:02:30.940
So within minutes, of receiving
that brief from our client,

00:02:30.940 --> 00:02:33.820
we were able to deliver
transcripts of expert calls

00:02:33.820 --> 00:02:36.540
that their peers across
the broader investment community

00:02:36.540 --> 00:02:39.125
had completed in just
a few days prior.

00:02:39.125 --> 00:02:41.925
We were also able to conduct
a broader survey across a

00:02:41.925 --> 00:02:44.485
relevant array of experts to
allow them to validate their

00:02:44.485 --> 00:02:46.220
thesis further. Ultimately,

00:02:46.220 --> 00:02:48.780
a partnership between the
client and AlphaSights in this

00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:52.460
instance allowed our client
to access uncodified knowledge in

00:02:52.460 --> 00:02:55.635
a very rapid timeline and
allowed them to better

00:02:55.635 --> 00:02:58.995
understand the risks of open
source generative AI on the

00:02:58.995 --> 00:03:00.863
potential investment that
they were considering.

00:03:00.863 --> 00:03:04.040
If you think
about the automotive industry,

00:03:04.040 --> 00:03:06.680
the biggest trend is the
electrification of automobiles,

00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.960
and every automaker is thinking
about how they can successfully

00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:11.585
enter that space.

00:03:11.585 --> 00:03:15.505
There's so much information out
there about the EV market and

00:03:15.505 --> 00:03:18.305
data that you can kind of look
up and and rely on to try to

00:03:18.305 --> 00:03:19.580
help make decisions.

00:03:19.580 --> 00:03:22.460
But if you put yourself in
the shoes of one of our clients,

00:03:22.460 --> 00:03:24.460
a traditional luxury automaker,

00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:27.100
they have very specific
questions that they need to

00:03:27.100 --> 00:03:28.080
answer for themselves.

00:03:28.725 --> 00:03:32.245
How do we project manage
such a huge transformation across our

00:03:32.245 --> 00:03:34.725
company? How do we
prioritize innovation?

00:03:34.725 --> 00:03:37.685
What peripheral roles should we be
hiring for that are going to

00:03:37.685 --> 00:03:40.970
help us hit challenges head
on and move fast through them.

00:03:40.970 --> 00:03:41.950
There are engineers,

00:03:42.730 --> 00:03:44.250
scientists, lawyers,

00:03:44.250 --> 00:03:47.050
executives who have built
some of the most successful EV

00:03:47.050 --> 00:03:50.235
operations and plants in the
world and being able to connect

00:03:50.235 --> 00:03:53.435
those people to our client in
a really short amount of time

00:03:53.435 --> 00:03:55.915
allows them to really
capitalize on the opportunity

00:03:55.915 --> 00:03:58.470
they have in front of by
learning from how these folks

00:03:58.470 --> 00:03:59.690
have done it in the past.

00:04:02.310 --> 00:04:05.525
It's a very inspiring mission we
believe we're on which is to

00:04:05.525 --> 00:04:08.645
make this knowledge that is
locked up in people's minds,

00:04:08.645 --> 00:04:12.210
make that available and leverage
it to drive progress and innovation,

00:04:12.210 --> 00:04:15.269
and ultimately create a path
towards a better future.
