Jake – We appreciate your concern about the Colorado Symphony’s success. As a consultant, our job is to shed light on issues and offer recommendations and counsel. We did just that during our engagement. It is important to remember that the Board of Trustees is accountable for success and sustainability. As with any 501c3 nonprofit that is a cornerstone of a board’s job.

Comment on Market research is dead. Long live market research. by Terry Lyons

Terry Lyons — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 13:30:29 +0000

Your analogy regarding the hammer and other tools, is valid for the evolution of market research. To say that one data collection methodology is inherently better than another limits the potential of insightful analysis. Just as new avenues of research can lead to knowledge and strategy, traditional research byways do, too. The journey may require an avenue, a byway or both. The destination is the determinent.

Comment on Porsche’s research shows they need to change perceptions by Rob J

After reading this post, I couldn’t help to think about frequency in which this is occurring across all types of organizations. I would argue that the “that’s definitely not for me” or “that’s impractical” mentality is a problem for most companies at some product or service level. In fact, I would venture to say this is true for the perception of research and evaluation. Too often, I find myself wondering why more organizations don’t utilize at least basic research and/or evaluation techniques to learn more about their client base. As a research/evaluation professional myself, I feel I have a responsibility to show that evaluation, even at a very simple level, is accessible, informative, and can be effective for every-day use, and not just for “winding mountain roads.” Like Porsche, the power of evaluation to do more is always there, but it’s okay to take it for a drive around the block to see what you can find!

“Googled” useless graphs for an assignment for my probabilities and statistics class and this perfectly useless one appeared high in the search engine. You should be proud, it is a dandy! Love your point though that it is quite useful for communicatng its point well. Thanks guys!
