# BMW Case Study ## The BMW Group conducts online studies using QuestionPro to obtain decision-relevant information more quickly. ## Gathering decision-relevant information at BMW - QuestionPro Case Study ###### Overview We had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Josef Köster, team leader customer segmentation, customer foresight, and innovation studies at BMW Group. His primary tasks include customer segmentation and target group analysis and applying panel research, mainly when looking to understand the product market. ###### Target To be able to react at short notice to market research inquiries from the respective specialist departments and carry out market research projects correspondingly quickly so that the respective specialist department can promptly make strategic decisions based on high-quality data. ###### Challenge The overarching goal of the BMW Group is to respond quickly to inquiries from the relevant specialist department and, depending on capacity utilization, to carry out market research projects and panel studies either independently or with the help of the QuestionPro project team. The data collected from the worldwide QuestionPro panel must meet high-quality standards due to the customer-relevant implications of the decisions taken. ###### Outcomes With QuestionPro market research tools being simplistic in implementation, BMW can conduct market research projects quickly and agilely in-house and with its own resources. When projects are running at high capacity, BMW relies on the QuestionPro project team for additional support. Full-service project requests can be implemented immediately with dedicated QuestionPro resources when requested. In order to provide high-quality data, determined to be a must-have by Dr. Köster, QuestionPro uses an integrated Data Quality Check tool for the panel studies outsourced by BMW. The Data Quality Check tool uses intelligent algorithms to identify and sort out so-called "bad responses" automatically. QuestionPro is able to take advantage of 22 million members within the Audience program to conduct panel studies. Without having to go to an outside source, studies can be set up and conducted quickly. ###### Project Steps 1. Briefing from BMW 2. Survey design through QuestionPro 3. Survey creation and translation for the different markets by QuestionPro 4. Survey goes live in the worldwide panel and permanent control of the fieldwork by QuestionPro 5. Data cleansing 6.
