One-day Workshop

Integrating Research and Strategic Decision-making

Hamilton House, Mabledon Place, London WC1H 9BD
Thursday 05 March 2020, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Coffee and Registration at 9.00am for a 9.30am start

Designing market research to overcome complex strategic situations is often challenging. Defining the specific and fundamental questions pharmaceutical companies need to answer and understanding how research results may be used in their decision making are critical parts of the process. 

This workshop is designed for pharma and agency market researchers who want to increase their understanding of strategic challenges and questions, so they can commission and/or deliver more effective and appropriate research designs and results. 

Through an interactive, case-study based approach, delegates will gain an understanding of how market research and strategy should integrate to overcome market challenges and support strategic direction, the types of strategic questions that could be addressed and how to generate insights to fully address these needs. 

The day will consist of three main sections:

Let's Talk Strategy - How do strategy and market insight align?

  • Understand where and how your skills interact with strategic processes and challenges, AND the types of strategic questions that could be addressed using market research.
  • The conveners will discuss their experience with actual case studies to highlight questions and provide deeper insights into the strategic challenges

A Deeper Dive - Where is robust market research essential for strategic decision making?

  • Gain a deep understanding of the types of questions required to address specific strategic situations, the nature of the information that must be generated and how the information is utilised by clients, which will define how it should be presented

Case Study Development - How can we incorporate strategic considerations into real-world setting?

  • Practise thinking about research from a strategic perspective so that your RfPs / proposals specifically address the challenges faced
