Lumière took on a study for a client who wanted to identify need gaps in its store observation exercises. The study revolved around understanding the diverse experience levels of the client team and their familiarity with ‘observations’ as a process. The study attempted to make the client team comfortable with the observation process, in order to make it a ‘way of life’. It enabled each manager to experience the value of shopper observation and the impact that it has on arriving at insights.
