Our Research Approach: Answering the Right Questions

Providing clear, comprehensive market analysis is critical to achieving your firm’s growth goals. But not every occasion calls for the same kind of research. Why? Because each research type answers a different question, depending on your goals. Here’s how we approach those questions.

Strategic Planning Research

When planning for the next 3-5 years, you need forward-looking insights on markets, regions, and services. Our research translates cultural, economic, and industry factors into actionable opportunities. Strategic planning research usually looks like this:

  • Macro Trends in the U.S.: Economic and cultural influences impacting industries.
  • Industry-Specific Trends: Market sector status and outlook.
  • Geographical Outlook: Opportunities and regional growth projections.

Market Sector Focus

Looking to invest in a national market sector and identify hotspots and disruptors? Our research highlights sector-wide opportunities by answering:

  • What is driving the market, and where are the disruptors?
  • Who are the decision-makers?
  • How is the sector funded?
  • Where are the hotspots, and what’s driving them?
  • What is the long-term outlook?
