Valen Collaborative Innovation Approach leverages Fusion Methodology™ to drive deeper insight, learn quickly and increase confidence in your innovation programs when combined with our entrepreneurial innovation methods.
Fusion Methodology™
Fusion Methodology™ is a qualitative research service designed to bridge the gaps inherently associated with the broadly used traditional qualitative research. This is because traditional qualitative approach is stuck in an old “event” (single hour+) based model which provides little context and depth and falls short of supporting agile, entrepreneurial methods. Online platforms provide more agility but still don’t solve the insight depth issue because they just replicate faster shallow responses.Our FRUSTRATIONS with Consumer Interaction
- Authentic participant discussion were difficult due to 1-2 hour limits
- Single interactions worked for single quest/answer but not depth we needed
- Participants have difficulty clearly articulating problems in a short period of time
Our FRUSTRATIONS with Capturing the Best Insights
- We wished we had more time and flexibility to talk to participants
- We did not want to try to anticipate every question but rather iterate over time with participants
- We were willing to give up talking to large numbers of consumers in qualitative for improving quality, depth and agility of interactions
