Bottom line
The research team should measure itself on the business value of the insights that it produces through research, not on the quantity of research or the number of projects that it conducts. The research portfolio needs to be balanced with an appropriate blend of insight generating research and hypothesis validating research. The research team should strive to be seen as an expert and trusted advisor by its internal customers. This will require a different mindset, different methods, and different metrics. The research organization needs to redefine its mission and rethink its organization design and processes to achieve this goal.
