Intellicast S5E3 – A CRIC Update with Arundati Dandapani

Welcome back to Intellicast!  We have another great guest joining us this week.  Arundati Dandapani, the CIO of the Canadian Research Insight Council (CRIC), joins us to talk about how successful 2021 was and what CRIC as an organization has planned for 2022.

The episode kicks off with Arundati giving the guys a recap and perspective around how successful 2021 was for CRIC, in terms of events and growth as an organization. This leads to a discussion about the level of speaker CRIC was able to get in 2021, and how it was an all-star crew.

Arundati then gives Brian and Producer Brian a preview of what is upcoming in 2022. The plans include hosting more events, but a bit more spaced out, as well as rolling out new items to help member growth for CRIC.  Arundati also talks about a career fair that CRIC is putting on that is planned for Friday, January 28.  You can get more details on the Virtual Co-Op and Career Fair here: https://www.canadianresearchinsightscouncil.ca/registration-industry-virtual-co-op-and-careers-fair/

The talk of the upcoming career fair leads to a quick discussion about the current job market in Canada, and specifically in the insight industry.

In the last part of the interview, Arundati talks about CAIP, the Certified Analytics and Insights Professionals of Canada, and highlights the eligibility of people to get CAIP certified.

Here are the two articles she talks about:
