The qualitative engine to accelerate effective directions

THE POWER OF SCOOT

We help decision-makers choose the right direction.

We tap into the people that need to be heard to explore the landscape, unearth the insights, determine the right direction and map out the best way to get there. Bringing different perspectives together enables collaborative team energy to course through the entire process.

A combination of ownership, insights, engagement and combined expertise lead us on a journey that culminates in strong, actionable decisions.

A Scoot® Sprint is at the core of the Scoot Insights approach.

THE SCOOT
ENGINE

Expertise and Experience Deliver Effective Decisions

Scoot Sprints tackle the challenges facing decision-makers, merging audience learning with stakeholder knowledge and expertise to ensure actionable directions are the outcome.

Scoot Sprints are applied to understanding a range of diverse challenges such as employee happiness, concept/message testing, design development, brand positioning and survey design.

When big data or survey results throw up unanswered or new questions, a Scoot Sprint provides the answers to fill in the knowledge gaps efficiently and effectively.

Two Scooters run each Sprint, moderating sessions and facilitating the interactive debrief workshop with the key stakeholders. Design, recruitment, fieldwork, interactive debrief, analysis and actionable reporting all happen in 3-weeks.

THE SCOOT
SPRINT

Consumer / Customer Insight Sprints merge audience learnings with stakeholder knowledge and expertise in real time. The core stakeholder team identify insights and agree on actionable directions together based on viewing customer research sessions and participating in an interactive debrief workshop.

Employee Insight Sprints are ideal when time and budgets are too tight to afford recruitment and incentives to reach core target audiences. Instead, tap into your team! Employees who are not directly involved with the project can be leveraged as participants to facilitate stakeholder learnings.

Employee Experience Sprints leverage small interactive group sessions with employees. Participants meet off-site and anonymously and provide feedback to complement Employee Engagement or Satisfaction surveys, providing greater depth of understanding on key indicators or gaps in knowledge.
