Identify Needs
I have to say when you get a new cereal and it is on a special price and it tastes lovely, you can’t get an exceptional moment better than that … apart from when my daughter went to bang on the table and caught her bowl and it covered her. I can’t say I’ve had an exceptional moment whilst eating a bowl of cereal, unless you can count the morning I got my divorce papers and I swear that bowl of granola tasted like it was made by the Gods. Cereals that were so crunchy… I chipped my tooth and has to go to the dentist. It was disappointing as you can imagine.
Identify Needs
Every day Weekend On the Go
I like preparing breakfast with my family at the weekend but I don’t eat cereals as they are too ready made and don’t allow a communal experience like other breakfast
- ptions do
I would like to eat cereal on-the-go but cereal bars aren’t healthy enough and have too much sugar I like cereals but I’m not able to customise them enough and change the variety of ingredients and fruit/nut additions every day

Concept Express™: Banking Case Study
Project Overview ▪ A high street bank was looking to refine its Reward account proposition ▪ Having presented the findings from our self-funded study, the Insight team recommended using Concept Express to the product development team ▪ Once the questionnaire had been tailored to meet the specific requirements, and signed off, results were available and within 24 hours the winning concept begun to emerge. ▪ The stakeholder was particularly impressed by the early availability of results via the interactive info-board and analytics portal, and wished to conduct another round of testing ▪ Three Concept Express™ tests were conducted in total, with the results from each stage iteratively feeding into the next. ▪ Our standardised questionnaire increased the speed of turnaround and benchmarks available at each phase ▪ Concept Express™ has since been used to test new mortgage propositions and open banking applications.
- Standardised questionnaire enabled
a quick launch
- Initial results available the next day
- Key metrics instantly accessible via
the real time info-board & automated PPT charts
- Helping stakeholders to quickly
identify the favoured concept
- Tailored reporting provided depth sub
group analysis, e.g. by age, gender, main bank and FRESCO segment. “Concept Express was quick, efficient and sufficiently flexible to suit our requirements. The online real time system was a good way to engage our stakeholders and excited real interest in the project. It raised the profile of research internally and challenged – positively – expectations of what could be delivered by when.”
