Invitations go to a small group of senior leaders whose work is materially shaping how their function or industry operates today. The programme captures that expertise in your own words, exchanges it with the peers contributing alongside you, and carries the findings out to the wider market through the published report and TechPros insights platform.
You hear how industry peers are tackling similar challenges, gain personal-brand visibility across LinkedIn and the TechPros.io insights platform, and receive a dedicated one-pager write-up of your perspective to add to your LinkedIn profile. You are also invited to relevant peer roundtables and follow-up events.
Interviews are relaxed 30-minute Zoom conversations with a TechPros.io interviewer. You introduce your role and work through the eight to ten questions shown on the programme page, then answer a few quick anonymous poll questions that feed the report's infographics. The interview is recorded so that we can write up your insights accurately.
Around an hour in total: the 30-minute interview and 15 to 30 minutes to review your one-pager before publication. On sponsored programmes, allow another 20 to 30 minutes if the sponsor's expert asks for a follow-up call.
Choose a time with the Book 30 min interview button on the programme page. You will receive a calendar invitation with the Zoom link, and an email asking for a professional headshot for your one-pager. The questions are on the programme page, so you can think them through beforehand. If you have a question before we speak, add it to the booking form and Tim will answer it at the start of the interview.
No. Everything a briefing call used to cover is on the programme page and in these FAQs: the topic, the questions, the sponsor, the process and how your contribution is used. If your question is not answered here, add it to the booking form or email Vanessa Condez at vanessa.condez@techpros.io.
Yes. Participants must be currently employed (not on notice) and meet any additional conditions stated on the programme page.
Use the reschedule link in your calendar invitation to pick a new time, or email our Senior Executive Assistant, Vanessa Condez, at vanessa.condez@techpros.io and she will rearrange it for you.
On sponsored programmes, a subject-matter expert from the sponsor reads a summary of your interview and may hold a 20 to 30 minute follow-up call with you. We then write up your one-pager and send it to you for review before anything is published.
Yes. We share your one-pager with you for review, and it is published only once you are happy with it. As each report works to a publication date, we ask for any changes within a week, or by the date we suggest. Should we not hear back after a few reminders, we may proceed with the draft or leave your contribution out.
Your insights appear in your one-pager and in the Market View report, published on the TechPros.io insights platform and LinkedIn, and sometimes in industry media. Programmes usually run for four to six months from the first interview to publication.
We would be delighted if you did. When the report launches we tag you on LinkedIn and send you a draft post, and your company's marketing team is very welcome to share it too.
Mainly small roundtables called Challenge Forums, online or in person, where each participant brings a live challenge and the group works through it. We also host occasional fireside chats and panels.
Roundtables are by invitation, by LinkedIn or email. Before a session we hold a short briefing call with you, and sometimes the sponsor, to explain the format and how to bring a challenge. If you would like to be considered, join one of our communities or get in touch.
TechPros.io interviews senior business and technology leaders and publishes what they say in independent market reports. It also runs peer roundtables and the Enterprise Thought Leadership Podcast. It has run since 2017, and more than 4,000 leaders have taken part.
Yes. Our in-person Challenge Forums in London bring together 12 to 30 senior leaders for a half-day session, with time to network. None are scheduled at the moment; join a community to hear when the next one is planned.
Challenge Forums are our roundtable format. Participants submit a current challenge, vote on which to take on, and work through them together in a structured session. They run as 90-minute online sessions or half-day events in person, under Chatham House rules.
Four: Business Services, for leaders of outsourcing and professional services firms; HR Leadership, for CHROs and people leaders; Revenue, for sales, marketing and RevOps leaders; and AI Operations, for the leaders turning AI plans into working operations.
A company sponsors each interview programme and is named on its page. The sponsor helps choose the topic, and one of their experts holds a short follow-up conversation with each interviewee. TechPros.io runs the interviews and writes and publishes the report.
A report under their brand, a one-pager for each interviewee, a follow-up conversation with each interviewee and what the interviews revealed about their market.
The sponsor's expert is there to hear more about your views, and every sponsor agrees to this before a programme begins. Should you wish to continue the conversation afterwards, that is entirely up to you.
