Disruption Index Research Associate (Contract)
Disruption Index Analyst (Contract)
At AlixPartners, we solve the most complex and critical challenges by moving quickly from analysis to action when it really matters; creating value that has a lasting impact on companies, their people, and the communities they serve. We prize diversity and inclusion, the intellectually curious, the inventive, and the forward-thinking. We invite you to influence the way we work and define the way we embrace tomorrow.
What you’ll do:
You will be responsible for conducting secondary research on disruption – the forces in the world that are causing massive change across businesses, economies, and societies.
For 40 years, AlixPartners has been helping our clients navigate disruption. Over this time, we’ve seen technological innovations enabling new business models and ways of working at unprecedented speed. Consumers are empowered to demand what they want, when and how they want it, constructing and inhabiting self-curated digital ecosystems. In a hyperconnected world, more than a billion people, primarily in Asia, have emerged from poverty, shifting the dynamic center of the global economy eastward. Populations are aging. Inequality is rising. The climate is changing. And the list goes on.
Because of its impact on so many of our clients, we have embarked on a multi-year study of disruption, looking at the forces at work and how they are impacting business. The AlixPartners Disruption Index (ADI) leverages executive survey insights to provide a unique perspective on the challenges facing business and what best-in-class leaders are doing to meet them.
