Insights
In the context of entrepreneurship projects, insights are crucial pieces of information that can help a business or entrepreneur make informed decisions. These insights typically revolve around understanding the industry, the market, competitors, and specific aspects of a company's operations. They can be both qualitative and quantitative, providing a well-rounded view of the business landscape.
Here at Legacy Consulting, when we embark on an insights project for your business, our goal is to uncover valuable information that can drive your strategic decisions. Let's walk through the process:
Identifying Insights
- Keyword and Search Strategy: We start by conducting direct searches using relevant keywords and search strings related to your project. These initial searches help us gather foundational information.
- Market Research and Business Databases: We leverage reputable market research databases to access comprehensive reports related to your industry and topic. Even if some reports are behind paywalls, we use previews and press releases to gain insights.
- Trade Associations and Publications: We explore publications such as annual reports, whitepapers, surveys, newsletters, and magazines from industry-specific trade associations. These sources often provide valuable data and trends.
- Reports from Key Players: Industry reports from renowned firms like EY, Deloitte, PwC, and Accenture offer in-depth insights into industry trends, current states, and future outlooks.
- Expert Interviews and News Articles: We seek out expert interviews and the latest news articles to supplement our research. These sources help us find quotes, examples, and statistics to support our findings.
Findings
We structure our findings according to the research criteria you've defined. Each insight is presented with a separate heading, ensuring clarity and focus. We don't just list disconnected bullet points; rather, we provide comprehensive explanations backed by statistics, analysis, and examples where appropriate.
For instance, if you've requested insights on "Changing Consumer Preferences," we'll dedicate a section to this topic and provide a detailed explanation of what's happening in that space.
Research Strategy
In our research strategy, we outline the sources we've consulted and any special considerations we've taken into account. If you've asked for the "top" or "most important" insights, we explain how we determined these criteria based on our research.
For example, if we identify the top marketing automation insights, we'll clarify that this determination was made by analyzing repeated mentions in reputable sources such as [list of sources].
If we've made any assumptions, triangulations, or calculations to arrive at specific insights, we'll clearly state these in our research strategy and also provide a summary within the findings section.
Client Updates
In the event that we encounter challenges in finding specific information or insights, we will prepare a Client Update (PCU or FCU). These updates will include alternative findings, creative strategies we've employed, and a clear explanation of what information was not available and why.
Our aim is to ensure you receive a thorough and actionable set of insights that can guide your business decisions effectively. We pride ourselves on our commitment to delivering high-quality, well-researched insights that empower your entrepreneurial journey.
