David Allison on “Valuegraphics & Belonging” | NSB Engage Webinars
On the heels of his bestselling book The Death of Demographics: Valuegraphic marketing for a values driven world, David Allison’s research shows that connectedness values including ‘belonging’ are universally the top shared values worldwide. He’s since partnered with Google’s Experience Institute to help bring a greater sense of inclusion + belonging to attendees at conferences and events. We wanted to amplify this messaging so we invited David to kick off our 50th Anniversary Engage series with a virtual session. Here’s a sampling of his insights and in video format below especially for Event Profs.

VALUEGRAPHICS AND BELONGING AT CONFERENCES & EVENTS
Demographics describe.
Psychographics record.
Valuegraphics influence.
Throughout his career, David Allison understood that people were behaving in ways that demographics couldn’t define. From his vantage point, the next step was obvious: we needed a better way to understand people and what drives them to act.
In his most recent work, David and The Valuegraphics Project have partnered with Google to launch the Belonging Index, a tool structured to help professionals in varying industries integrate belonging insights into their practices.
There are 912 kinds of Belonging in the Valuegraphics Database, and the Belonging Index can identify which ones mean the most to the people you are building event strategies for, the clients you attract, or the teams you hire.
Key highlights from this session include:
If you’re still segmenting primarily on demographic factors, discover how aligning on values drive actions and decisions that lead to belonging
A values-driven approach can earn you R.O.V (Return on Values):
Companies have measured 12% higher willingness to pay, 20% more trust, and 40% greater engagement from audiences who feel their values are reflected
Be inspired to change how you look at people, and leave with data-tested tools to ensure you succeed in the new values economy
