Strategy Project
Big 3 Consultancy
Reaching Hard-to-Access Stakeholders in a Highly Regulated Vertical
A global strategy consulting firm was conducting a strategy project aimed at understanding technology preferences and user satisfaction among government contractors and A&E (Architecture & Engineering) firms in the US. A previous internal team had engaged us for a successful short-term research effort on a related topic a few weeks earlier. When a new case team took over the next phase of the project, they recommended re-engaging us for support. The objective was to help the client evaluate the positioning of three types of enterprise software tools commonly used by these organizations for resource planning, client engagement, and financial planning. Due to the niche nature of the audience and the lack of available contact lists, traditional expert networks and standard approaches were proving ineffective.
