Challenge the thinking. Shape what happens next.
Insight leaders are being asked to shape increasingly important decisions while AI, new methods and changing expectations transform the function.
The Decision Room brings peers together to compare experiences, challenge their thinking and learn from one another, with STRAT7 bringing relevant expertise and perspectives into the conversation.
Intimate dinners and interactive roundtables for Insight, Marketing and Strategy Leaders
Roundtables in 12 months, across five cities
Over the past year, we have brought senior insight leaders together in London, Leeds, Boston, New York and San Francisco for candid discussions on the issues shaping their teams and organisations.
The Decision Room builds on those conversations, bringing peer exchange and STRAT7 expertise together. No presentations – just new perspectives.

Coming up
Seeing around corners: Where foresight sits and how it shapes decisions today
London - 5th November
STRAT7 invites the right people to the room and brings expertise where it adds value, while leaving space for the conversation to be led by those taking part.
Small groups and the right mix of people
Focused on issues that matter now
Participation, not presentation
“The roundtable was honestly excellent; I found it so helpful to hear what everyone else had to say. It was really well structured, and the moderation was expertly done; it helped conversation to flow and to keep us on topic.“
Rachel Congdon, Consumer Insights Lead – NSPCC
Topics and live themes which are top of mind and currently on our agenda include:
01
Making insight compound:
How do we make what we already know work harder? How can research, data and accumulated knowledge build on each other, so every new question benefits from what has already been learned?
02
How should insight teams evolve as the work changes?
Shifting team structures and ecosystems - How are we redefining what success looks like? Roles, workflows and the balance between AI, automation and human judgement.
03
We’re all futurists now
How can insight teams anticipate change, risk and opportunity rather than simply explain what has already happened?
04
Can you trust the answer?
How do we embrace new tools and technology in the right way? Data quality, provenance, and knowing what is safe to act on. The role of AI, confidence & ethics, data fusion and real-time insights.
Places at dinners and roundtables are limited and invitation-led. Tell us which formats and topics interest you, and we’ll contact you when a relevant session is coming up.
The programme is designed primarily for Heads and Directors of Insight, Marketing and Strategy. Selected sessions also welcome rising insight leaders and senior leaders in related functions.
STRAT7 Academy is a capability building offering, delivering training and workshops built around the skills, challenges and priorities of your insight team.
