Victoria Sakal's Hot Take - You're Either Paying the Research Tax or the Stupid Tax (with Victoria Sakal, Growth, Strategy, & Research Leader)

Victoria Sakal is a growth and go-to-market expert who loves to turn customer, market and competitor insight in product, brand and business growth strategies.

Her hot take? That companies are either paying the "research tax" - spending too much time and money on research and never making a move - or the "stupid tax" - making decisions based purely on gut feel and no evidence. Both of these taxes can get your organisation in trouble, and the best path is to strike the right balance of speed and quality.
