Market intelligence
Clients often have an intuitive feeling that their risk or business practices are not in line with market practice but may not be in a position to demonstrate this with hard facts. To initiate change within an organisation, sponsors also often find it helpful to have a review of market practice drawn up by an independent third party.
A market intelligence study is an independent means of surveying market practice amongst the client’s peers and/or obtaining the views of the client’s customers or other market participants. Clients may also wish to have their practices benchmarked against the market, and for us to make recommendations for changes they should adopt in their practices to bring them into line with market practice.
An alternative reason for a client wishing to commission a market intelligence study is to put a piece of research in the public domain for their own marketing purposes.
As with all of our services, market intelligence studies are conducted by senior consultants who are subject matter experts. We believe that the ability to fully interpret interviewees’ answers and to ask pertinent supplementary questions are essential to obtaining the most from a study.
