Download our FREE ebook based on the paper Re-embedding Market Research into the Business Decision making process by Ian Roberts & Emile Bakker presented at Seventh International Conference, Are We There Yet? Where Technological Innovation is Leading Research, The Association for Survey Computing, 8-9 Sept 2016, University of Winchester, UK.

Nebu together with Dutch MOA and British MRS has launched a series of R-scripting training designed for market researchers and data analysts. 

In a previous blog post, we took a quick look back at the early days of the CATI research methodology, and discussed how and why it is making a comeback in market research after being displaced for a time by online approaches. As we discussed in that post, CATI – Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing – represents one of the first attempts to merge technology with the market research interview process.

Recently, I was approached by a former business partner, Kees de Jong, a Board Member at NLGroeit, an initiative to provide entrepreneurs peer support. During our meeting, he explained the new initiative and some of the challenges the organization faced.

The scope of the project was clearly going beyond traditional market research: NL Groeit needed to conduct an extensive online assessment, based upon feedback from experienced entrepreneurs, coaches and trainers, and to enrich this data with geolocation based information, such as IP addresses and then provide, automatically, actionable insights for their members to develop and grow themselves, and their organisations. Asked if Nebu could help, I proudly answered "Yes, let's do this. We can deliver the exact data you need."

Sooner or later, every market researcher meets the need to examine the quality of their providers' data - to have it confirmed that the participants are unique, real and engaged.
