The Insight Connection
Harnessing Existing Learning

Harnessing existing learning

Discover the unexpected
Harnessing existing learning is much more than re-reading old research reports and playing back what's already known. It means looking at diverse sources of consumer information through fresh eyes and making relevant connections between them. By looking at things holistically and putting our observations together creatively, we build new - and often surprising - insights.

Our proprietary approach involves four key steps:

Focus: We develop clear and well-defined objectives and create a tight analysis framework to organise information and ideas - but retain the flexibility to take detours along the way when unexpected insights emerge.

Explore: We cast the net wide: going beyond the obvious sources of past qualitative and quantitative research on the brand or category. Other rich sources of insight can include: research on other brands, categories and markets; trends information; published data; and the knowledge and experience of internal and external stakeholders.

Create: Our skill and added value comes from our ability to put things together differently to create new business-building insights.

Action: Our workshops bring the new insights to life and lead to clear action plans, ensuring that the new learning is widely shared and embedded within the client's organisation.
