Great insight is one thing, but what clients really value from Carter is our ability to leverage insight into actionable strategy: guiding new and adapted content, products and services that really work in Japan.
All the market research in the world won’t help if you don’t know how to act upon it!
At Carter, we take pride in our ability to deliver outcomes which are highly actionable for you and your team- going beyond the classic research debrief to more engaged, involved and practical interactions- getting everyone on board with the learnings and helping you formulate the next steps your team needs to take.
With over 30+ years of experience in Japan we are highly experienced working with a wide range of local and international client teams on their market entry and market leveraging initiatives. Our consultants are highly experienced in recommending ways in which you can further enhance the value of your research and reach your strategic objectives.
How we activate insight to create plans for action
We collaborate with our clients to apply a strategic thinking approach to the identification of opportunities and the correct definition of problems. We employ appropriate methodologies such as design thinking in order to do this – starting with foundational work to frame and define issues, through to concept development, evaluation, iteration and final optimization. We empower you to realize and implement concrete, insight-driven strategies from start to finish.
Working together, we’ve had the opportunity to provide a range of methodologies in the service of strategy, design and activation, including:
- Fuel the Future: Strategy planning workshops
- Solutions Hothouse: Design thinking style innovation process
- Concept Bootcamp: Concept localization and optimization
- Unmasking Japan: Stakeholder content production
Making your market research investment count
More important than methodology, however, is our consultants’ flexibility and ability to think and to apply the right recommendations in the right circumstances, always collaborating with you for an optimally useful and practical approach.
