Insight Positioning Report

Effective Insight teams succeed in identifying and occupying the optimal position in the minds and processes of the wider organisation. This report takes a look at what that means, the key challenges and how teams can improve their own position to maximum effect.

True insight requires time for reflection

Make time for reflection. Use your team meetings to develop a common understanding of customers’ value, behaviour, drivers and environment. An Insight team can’t create value unless it agrees on what it knows.

Insight Strategy and Planning

Insight teams are getting better at generating, managing and communicating insight, but how do you know what sort of Insight team your organisation needs, how to deploy it, and whether you are getting a good return on investment?

Join the IMA's Insight Forum in London

Join the most progressive Insight leaders in the UK at the IMA's Insight Forum in London. The third event of the year will be on Wednesday 12th September, when we will debate best practice in Insight Strategy, building on work we have done in the past on Mapping the Battlefield

Think like a designer to generate insights

Design thinking encourages organisations to focus on the people they're creating for and leads to human-centred products, services, and internal processes. The core of design thinking is to know the questions you need to answer and make sure that solutions are actionable.

How do you make Insight make a difference? Successful Insight Management, the guidebook, summarises 15 years of best practice in one special report. This Spring you can receive a free copy as part of a 100 day trial corporate membership.

Insight Knowledge Report

Insight knowledge is the accumulated understanding created by joining the dots across lots of individual Insight projects. This report takes a look at why it's so important, the key challenges Insight teams face, and how they can make its development a priority.

What sort of relationships do you have with decision makers?

Progressive Insight teams say that they are on a journey from the model of a remote service team, to a much closer business partnership model with their key stakeholders or decision makers. Best practice is to aim at becoming trusted advisers to the senior decision makers in your organisation.
