19. About immr
Sweet Spot New-to-Market (NTM) Œ We help companies understand and capitalize on the crucial, vexing question –
Products, Services and “how can we identify, anticipate, and predict what customers will value and buy?”
Business Models even when they have yet to experience it.
Focus ICT (Information, • We work primarily with companies leveraging new technologies and business
Communications, and models and can (usually) translate products described in arcane, technical terms
Technology); Healthcare and jargon into realistic concepts.
and Insurance
Markets Consumer and B2B Ž We conduct research in consumer as well as B2B markets.
Experience Our Clients • We work with both market leaders and emerging companies, typically on an on-
going basis. This allows us to understand their business and contribute more fully.
Issues We Address • While our focus is on innovation and marketing, we often address closely related
issues (e.g., segmentation, positioning/branding, customer retention, etc.)
Project Scope ‘ Our projects vary in scope from small, exploratory research to large, multiple-phase
projects that combine qualitative, quantitative, and market trials.
Methodologies Qualitative ’ Although qualitative research is by nature subjective, clients find our approach,
style, and results highly effective. While we do traditional focus grous (typcially
mini-groups), in most of our projects we conduct highly revealing, in-depth,
individual (IDI) interviews.
Quantitative “ We employ a combination of rigorous quantitative research tools developed for and
uniquely well-suited to new-to-market and new-to-customer products, services, and
business models
Delivery Collaborative, ” We work closely with clients to (i) leverage their capabilities, (ii) adapt as new
client-focused learning, issues, and imperatives emerge; and (iii) help them succeed.
Value-add Perspectives, Insights, • As researchers with a “consultant’s perspective,” we believe that understanding and
and Recommendations anticipating prospective buyers’ behavior are key to successful innovation. In
addition to the research findings, we add significant value by contributing insights,
ideas, and recommendations and facilitating dialogue with client teams.
