Andrew Cannon, Director of GRBN, explains: “Measuring the impact of Insights is the precursor to actually increasing the value Insights delivers to the business. Additionally, research shows that those Consumer Insights functions that actually measure the impact of what they do on the business garner greater respect, bigger budgets and larger resources. It is one of GRBN’s missions to spread this practice as far and wide as we can throughout the global research community in order to strengthen the power Insights has to impact decision-making and to shout about the amazing returns available to companies that really invest in insights generation. Embedding the discipline of ROI measurement in an organization is not easy but, with the Handbook and now this ability to train Insights functions in situ, we believe it is not only desirable but infinitely possible. We are delighted to have Cambiar as our partner in this venture.”
Simon Chadwick, Managing Partner of Cambiar, added: “The jury is in. Measuring the impact of what you do on the business is inextricably linked with respect, budgets and resources. It’s now time to take this news out to the MR community as a whole and to enable practitioners to measure what they do as integral part of their jobs. Cambiar is honored to have been chosen by GRBN to be a part of this initiative.”
GRBN has set up a website, roiofinsights.com, dedicated to measuring ROI and demonstrating the business value of Insights. The GRBN Invest in Insights Handbook, as well as related resources, can be accessed from this knowledge hub.
