From MMR to Manager in the Middle of an AI Explosion | Signal & Noise Ep 40 - Signal and Noise | Lyssna här

Brian and Andrew sit down with Angela Chavez, Insights Manager at Dig Insights and UGA MMR graduate, ahead of her first-ever conference presentation at the Future of Insights Summit in Athens this August.

Angela's talk is called "Learning Research in a Rapidly Changing World," and this episode is a preview of exactly that. She walks through what it has actually been like to enter the industry as AI was exploding, going from hesitant early adopter to someone who opens ChatGPT as a reflex, all while growing from analyst to manager.

The conversation also gets into Dig Insights' tech-forward approach and what Angela's early career experience reveals for senior leaders trying to figure out how to onboard, train, and develop the next generation of researchers right now.

Key Takeaways:

What it is actually like to learn research and AI at the same time, in real time
How Angela balances keeping up with new tools while still doing the work
Where the gap between academic foundation and real-world practice still shows up
Why early career researchers have a perspective that senior leaders should be paying attention to
