Study Overview

Market research leaders manage workloads in terms of departmental resource demands and project business importance. Savvy research heads employ workload forecast models and other tools to refine project staffing and resource allocation. This document highlights proven practices that market research leaders can use to assess their staff workloads and resource requirements, value projects, monitor resources and align their budgets. This 11-page document also contains benchmark survey data, conceptual graphics and executive quotes.

Sample Best Practices

  1. Employ a project valuation process to help balance workloads and assignments among staff.
    - One leading healthcare company uses a unique grading system that fosters superior work quality and facilitates workload balancing.
  2. Employ a time tracking tool or spreadsheet to monitor staffing resources, ensure progress on projects and allocate resources across most high-priority projects.
    - For instance, one global pharmaceutical company used project time-tracking data to make a factual case to its management that the company required greater departmental headcount.
  3. Align product research support to reflect the product stage, potential size, type and category to effectively allocate market research staff time and resources.
    - One leading benchmark partner uses the product development stage to determine how much staff time should be allocated to a new product.
Methodology
