Data, Data Everywhere, but No Time or Space to Think
There's never been so much information available from such a huge array of resources as there is today. But where do you begin finding, collating and analysing the data you need to make real changes to your business?
Desk research, is a way of utilising the wealth of information already available that may be useful in testing a hypothesis or answering a question. The Internet is possibly the greatest single source of such information, but by no means is it the only one. Governmental and non-governmental bodies, commercial databases, trade publications and even the national press frequently commission research which can be interrogated to gain insights into market trends, national statistics, or whichever evidence is required. Even your own company records and previous research material may hold answers to current questions.
The key, of course, is in identifying the reliable information and eliminating the rest - and that's where our expertise is invaluable. Desk research is not without its limitations, but as a starting point for a research project, or where 100% relevancy is not of primary concern, it can be both a cost-effective and time-efficient way to help the decision making process.
