EXAMPLE QUERY

I am trying to find information on:

• the X industry, specially focused on the Y segment.

• The information needed goes from total number of X

in the world & total number of X in the US, by state

and from state

• Total money spent on X etc.

THIS IS TO SUPPORT A BUSINESS PLAN I’M WORKING ON.

perfect! Let me go in again

and discuss it with my

partner, but I can tell you

this is good.

THE UNEXPECTED FINDING

• A COO was being pressured to promote a manager who had

managed 4 employees to a Director position with 100

employees & 7 direct reports

• The COO & our client, a consultant, sense it’s too big a leap for a

manager who has so little experience managing people will end in

failure

• They’d like to support their experience with external data.

• Are there credible articles that support their experience?

NO, BUT WE FOUND SOMETHING ELSE.
