At BMGI, we often refer to ourselves as “researchers of the research.” That is while we don’t have the research capacity of a Harvard Business School, or the research budget of a McKinsey & Company, we do have an extensive research focus—we research and synthesize the research of others.
Others have found great value in our approach. It’s diverse, cutting across many sources, ensuring objectivity and completeness; it is unbiased, because we do not have positions that we have staked out over many years and at great expense that we must defend; and it is focused on the needs of our clients.
As we find industry moving into a new generation of problem solving, we’ve decided to share some of our research with you. We, ourselves, conduct extensive research across a broad range of sources, some familiar to you, some perhaps not so familiar. From the Harvard Business Review to the Sloan Management Review, from the McKinsey Quarterly to Booz & Company’s strategy+business, from CNN to obscure research never broadly published two decades ago, we seek out the best and most important research that we need to help our clients. In our on-line research library, we’re sharing with you what we found. While the authors or originators of the research often retain the publishing rights, when possible we’ve identified places where it’s publically available. Where it’s not, we’ve let you know what you can do to subscribe to a service or periodical yourself. While it’s true you can seek out this information yourself, we hope to save you time and resources. For example, we may only point to a small fraction of what’s been published in the Harvard Business Review over the past ten years. Our goal is not to give you the totality of information that is out there, but rather to help you quickly find what you’re looking for as it relates to what we do here at BMGI—problem solving in the context of strategy, innovation, and performance improvement.
We are also including a beta function with our new website called, “Ask the BMGI Research Team.” By filling out a simple form, our team of researchers, already hard at work, will either provide you with the information you’re looking for (if they have it readily available), give you some pointers and direction as to where they think you can find the information, or in the case of something very elaborate, ask you if you’d like an estimate on what BMGI’s research team would charge to do the research for you. We hope it’s a service you find helpful and there’s certainly no cost or obligation to ask your questions. Simply complete this form and we’ll get back to you promptly.
