Description:

At the Forrester Consumer Forum in Dallas in October 2008, Forrester VP and Principal Analyst James McQuivey unveiled the Convenience Quotient (CQ), which is a method for measuring the benefits that consumer products and services provide to consumers while accounting for the barriers that stand the way of those benefits. Currently hard at work on the definitive report on the Convenience Quotient to be published in January 2009, McQuivey shares the theory, method, and application of the Convenience Quotient research, providing current examples and outlining future research that's designed to take advantage of this method. Get an early sense of this powerful methodology, and use the Q&A at this session to put your items on Forrester's research agenda.

Agenda:

  • Why consumer convenience rules the world
  • Why convenience = benefits — barriers
  • Examples of the Convenience Quotient (CQ) in action
  • The Convenience Quotient research agenda through 2009
