Breadth is the edge

Research is now table stakes in B2B thought leadership, according to the Thought Leadership in Practice 2026 report. Strategic organizations use more research types (2.6) than ad hoc ones (2.0), and more types means more measurable outcomes.

In this live masterclass hosted by iResearch Services, you’ll see how to build a research and ideation process broad enough to uncover genuine whitespace instead of ground your competitors have already claimed.

Separating strong thought leadership from the weak

98%

do research, but only 26% have a strategic program

29%

use horizon scanning to spot what’s next

57%

use AI at ideation, and 81% are satisfied with it

Doing research isn’t the hard part anymore.

The average thought leadership function operates with roughly 15 people, and team size scales with company size, but headcount hasn’t solved the differentiation problem.

iResearch Services shows what it takes to build an ideation process that surfaces original ideas instead of obvious ones.

Key takeaways

Pinpoint where your research has gone stale

Find out whether you're still relying on a single research lens long after it stopped being enough.

Put your idea pipeline to the test

Find out whether your team is surfacing genuine whitespace or circling the same three angles.

Fix your approach with our whitespace guide

Take home something practical enough for this week and useful enough to still be reaching for six months from now.

Settle the research-breadth question for good

Get a clear read on how many research types your program needs, and why more isn't always better.

What you will learn

Explore how to combine quantitative, qualitative, and horizon-scanning inputs from the start, rather than defaulting to a single annual survey.
See the data behind why organizations using three or more research types report stronger business growth, and how to evaluate your own research mix against outcomes.
See why teams trust AI most during ideation and learn how to extend that same confidence further into the process without losing quality.
Take away a practical way to close the two most common blockers practitioners report: a lack of internal capability and time.

Your whitespace is out there.
