Market dynamics have fundamentally changed business and technology. Customer expectations shift, business resiliency suffers, and digital transformation requirements accelerate. How do the best companies survive and succeed amid these changing forces?

The answer is customer obsession. Customer-obsessed firms grow more than two times faster than non-customer-obsessed ones. Build a customer-obsessed organization using Forrester Decisions research services and shorten the distance between bold vision and superior impact.

Signature Research

As a research company, Forrester has helped technology, marketing, sales, customer experience, and product executives see around corners and take decisive action for more than 35 years, from an objective point of view. Signature Forrester research includes:

The Customer-Obsessed Enterprise

Forrester pioneered the concept of customer obsession more than a decade ago, demonstrating that customer-obsessed operations are customer-led, insights-driven, fast, and connected. Our research proves that putting the customer at the center of your leadership, strategy, and operations results in the most efficient path to growth, happy employees, and satisfied customers.

The Forrester Wave™

Clients have trusted the transparent methodology of Forrester Wave evaluations for more than 18 years to support vendor selection. Each Forrester Wave provides a simple visual evaluation of leading providers in specific market sectors, based on a robust analysis of their current offerings and strategies. Technology and service provider clients use Forrester Wave evaluations to understand current market drivers, what’s influencing those drivers, and their competitive position.

Data And Analytics

Forrester Decisions and Forrester Market Insights services include rich Forrester data. Understand your customers and benchmark your CX performance through the Customer Experience Index (CX Index™) and gain broad views of consumer behaviors and business expectations in the buying process.

Certification

Certification courses help you deepen your understanding of Forrester research through on-demand learning. Use certification as a way to align your team through a common vocabulary, approach, and way of working. Relevant certification courses are included as a part of all Forrester Decisions services.

Analyst Relations Council

Expand the impact of analyst relations (AR) through a curated community with the Analyst Relations Council, a thriving global network of 300 analyst relations professionals. For more than 17 years, the AR Council has provided a place where you can collaborate on strategy, validate ideas, and spark inspiration with a group of like-minded peers.

Forrester is the only research and advisory firm that is focused on CIO and CMO alignment, where other firms are only focused on technical capabilities.
