How does an innovative organization stay close to its current and prospective users, understanding their needs and opinions about their products, services, and programs, and about the organizations that provide them?
Consumer and stakeholder research, when done well, helps your organization’s product and program designers, customer service teams, marketing strategists, and program designers make better decisions more quickly. Especially in today’s social media age where sometimes a relatively few vocal people can be mistaken for the majority, applying a rigorous, quantitative approach to understanding experience and opinions can yield powerful insights.
