Presented at Marketing Leaders Masterclass #MLleeds
Market research has undergone dramatic change in the last ten years; more than in the last 50 – but has it changed for the better? In this session, Duncan takes a closer look at how some of these changes are preventing consumer insight from reaching its full potential and what can be done about it

Factors
Are
Also
At
Play
• Many

run
by
accountants
focusing
on

at
the

• The
rise
of
procurement
• Purchasing

• many
without
any
research
understanding
• DIY

plaporms
• More

out
of
fashion

What
Should
We
Do
About
It?
• Prior
to
the
research,
undertake
a
stakeholder
audit
• At
project
design
stage
leave
.me
to
examine
the
qualita.ve
aspects
behind
the
numbers
• Step
back
a
bit
and
take
.me
to
examine
the
findings
• Compile
and
insight
ac.on
audit
(IAA)
• Make
.me
for
a
post-‐results
workshop
using
the
IAA
• Disseminate
the
results
to
all
research
stakeholders
in
an
engaging
and
interes.ng
way

To
Summarise
• 2008
saw
the
start
if
the
UK’s
worst
recession
since
the
1930’s
• In
2008
there
were
already
strong
pointers
to
the
likely
long-‐term
effects
• Researchers
had
more
tools
available
than
before
–
yet
many
companies
didn’t
realise
what
was
happening
• The
dash
for
faster
and
faster
results,
more
quant
than
qual
missed
the
bigger
picture
• Where
possible
we
need
to
slow
down
and
get
back
to
the
basics
of
good
research
–
take
.me
to
properly
dissect
the
results
and
their
likely
effect
• Make
sure
the
results
reach
the
parts
of
the
company
that
can
act
on
them
• Communicate
the
results
in
an
interes.ng
and
engaging
way
