Strategic Research

Get answers to your most critical business and product questions

Strategic research empowers business and product leaders with insights and data to support direction and decision-making. 

Spatial’s strategic product research capabilities help organizations that are taking new products and services to market, that need to reposition their offering or that need to prioritize their digital product design and development budget spend. 

 

Strategic Research in Practice

Spatial can help you answer a broad range of strategic questions about the business landscape, social context, and target audience perceptions, needs, motivations, expectations and values. 

These questions may include: 

  • What problem am I solving and for whom? Has this been validated?
  • What trends are unfolding and how is my competitive landscape evolving?
  • What are the key factors that drive success in my competitive landscape?
  • What features and functionality do my customers value the most and why?
  • Are there any unmet needs that could differentiate us from our competitors?
