MARKET RESEARCH SIMPLIFIED
Speaking

Grow your business with actionable insight
Is your firm evolving its strategy or responding to shifting markets?
You’re not alone—and you’re likely already doing some form of market research. But are you doing the right kind? This session helps your team get clear on what market research actually is, how to use it effectively, and how to ensure it informs decisions that drive growth.
Change is constant. Information is your compass.
Attendees will walk away with:
- A crystal-clear definition of market research and why most firms underestimate its power.
- A breakdown of the five highest-ROI research types and how to apply them to your firm’s goals.
- A practical framework to craft the right research questions that lead to meaningful strategic action.
- Hands-on examples of using research to inform pursuits, validate new services, and uncover market opportunities.
- An understanding of the growth matrix—a tool that connects strategy, innovation, and research.
Format and duration
This session is flexible! It can be delivered as a dynamic one-hour conference presentation or expanded into a half-day workshop for your internal team. Either way, your team will leave energized, informed, and ready to act.
