Along the three business pillars of Consocia Advisory, Research and knowledge insights plays a key role in complementing the business development and project management team from pitch through project development to delivery. Within Public Advocacy, research helps in mining data and information to support a case in point and create intensity around advocacy of a client’s project.
In CSR & sustainability, Business development and data mining for effective targeting in cause based projects is undertaken by research. Under Reputation Management, research and insights help in background intelligence and information screening for deep understanding of client requirements above and beyond the scope, along with identifying additional areas of support within the mandate.
Consocia’s Research and Knowledge Insights team develops in-house research data and information for purposes spanning data analysis, information gathering and background intelligence to enable informed business development support and robust decision making in projects, along with identifying avenues for value addition to the core mandate.
