Our Process

1

Research Scope

We kick-off each study by establishing clear business objectives, the foundation of every successful study. We believe whole-heartedly in keeping the bottom-line impact of the research on your business, throughout each stage of the project. Once acquainted with the business objectives, we outline the project scope, research approach, sample, and timeline. Whether we use an in-depth interviewing style or online surveys, we take great care to fully understand your key business questions, first and foremost.

Study Preparation

Next, we draft materials needed to drive the study including screening questionnaires, discussion guides, and surveys. There is an art to writing good unbiased questions to uncover clear, actionable answers. We craft the right questions to solicit a deep understanding of customer attitudes, perceptions, behaviors and obtain the underlying why’s behind the answers.

Data Gathering

Once the design, scope and materials are agreed upon, implementation begins. This can take many different forms depending on the nature of the study:

  • One-on-one interviews (telephone, video, face-to-face)
  • Online panel discussions
  • Online surveys
  • Skillfully moderated focus groups

We use a variety of exercises to tease raw data from interview subjects.

At this stage, we analyze the data collected. Our ultimate objective is to distill activation-ready insights that you can immediately implement. To do so, we meticulously review the data gathered, using our decades of expertise to detect meaningful patterns as they relate to the questions we framed at the outset of the study. Finally, we present our findings in a polished report.
