The client required detailed insights into the company’s financial health, management effectiveness, customer satisfaction and competitive positioning.

OUR APPROACH

  • To address these requirements effectively, we formulated a meticulous approach to primary research while getting insights on:

    Initial desk research: We conducted a thorough desk research on the  financial reports, investors presentations, annual filings, industry reports, etc. to gather basis information about the company. Based on this information, we identify the customer and other stakeholders to derive the necessary data.

    Data collection: Upon completing desk research, we initiated a data collection process to gather detailed information about the company. This involved the following:
    • Reviewing the company’s financial data such as financial statements of the past five years and key ratios such as liquidity, profitability and leverage ratios to assess the financial heath and performance over time
    • Conducting in-depth interviews with top management and key executives to gain insights into their strategic vision, operational effectiveness, and long- and short-term plans for future growth
    • Launching a 15-minute online survey for a sample of 250 customers to gauge their satisfaction levels, identify pain areas, and assess overall sentiment and perception towards the company’s products
    • Conducting a competitive analysis to assess the market position, strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for differentiation
    Data analysis and reporting: Our team performed a rigorous analysis of the qualitative and quantitative findings, using advanced analytical tools and techniques. This involved the following:
    • Conducting trend analysis of financial data to identify patterns and changes in financial performance over time
    • Assessing management’s competence, credibility and alignment with the company’s strategic objectives
    • Analysing customer survey responses and calculating metrics such as NPS, customer retention rates and customer feedback analysis to identify patterns and overall sentiment towards the company
