About Forrester

Through proprietary research, data, custom consulting, exclusive executive peer groups, and events, the Forrester experience is about a singular and powerful purpose: to challenge the thinking of our clients to help them lead change in their organizations.

Our Values

At Forrester, our core values guide us in everything we do. We call these values 3CIQ:

  • Client: At Forrester, our clients come first. How can we do a better job for them? We never stop working on it.
  • Collaboration: We collaborate — both with one another and with our clients – share ideas honestly, and work through problems together.
  • Courage: It's not always easy to make the tough call, but our clients and our colleagues expect and value that from Forrester.
  • Integrity: If we don't practice truth — if clients, employees, and shareholders can't count on us to be honest — then why should they trust us?
  • Quality: Often used by clients to describe Forrester's services and employees, it's a critically important company attribute.
