Organizational Market Research and Moderation Training

Are you looking to deepen the market research skill set of your internal team? With decades of collective experience across multiple disciplines, businesses, and methodologies, we can help you build organizational capability and capacity via customizable coaching and development plans.

Step 1: Assess

We will come in and assess the current state of you organization’s learning needs. This can range from sitting down with key leaders in your organization to understand objectives and what looks like success, as well as sensing for individuals in your organization either qualitatively or quantitatively.

Step 2: Create

Based on the assessment phase and based on the gaps in learning that need to be filled, Illumination and GfK will do joint plan creation to build a customized development plan based on needs gaps.

Step 3: Train

Illumination will lead the development of all the training materials and facilitate the training sessions.

Step 4: Sustain

With limited resources, daily coaching can be time consuming; this step allows us to continue to coach individuals as they learn to practically apply their new knowledge.
