Good morning = thanks for having me Themes I’ve heard at this conference Cost saving Quick Efficient Working together Supplier pt of view
…… read the words I’m sure you understand. SOOO many questions.
Ok lots of question. Everyone wants a piece of the action without the cost
So ultimately things begin to get compromised because everything is last minute.
From my point of view… Message is similar Think as a whole when planning your research needs
Pt. 1 - Background = who is the stakeholder why did the project begin at all - line extension, innovation, cost savings - Big picture – what’s the benefit to the company what’s the risk - The timeline = how long do you have, is it moveable, and realistic Pt 2 - Dig deeper = company goals? Current environment – what’s hot today changing economics and BUDGET Pt. 3 – Talk with people = the team = Prod Dev. - Mktg - Operations, etc.
Can’t say this enough = What do you HAVE TO ACCOMPLISH no matter what else? Make it really easy to understand What is wanted to happen i
In the end the money spent has to answer a question! If this result this will happen next If this then this. What next
Now think about how to work smart Especially in more complex types of research how might you get clues to your question – gives you background and KNOWLEDGE
Challenge Marketing to give you thoughts about what they know Ask for stats in other research that might give a different twist to old work done
Take the opportunity to learn or help out the Marketing group or Operations or the Consumer
Point 3 = is there a way to sort the data that could enhance the learning? What if you looked at the Likers vs Non-likers Those that want more salt versus don’t Be CREATIVE
