The data collection process

      1. Identify issues/opportunities for the Data Collection

    Firstly, we have to be able to see if there is any issue in our company’s performance, as it could be a way to identify a potential area to focus our data gathering. On the other hand, we can also find the situation in which our company detects a possible market opportunity. In this case, we will have possible opportunities for the Data Collection process. In other words, what we are doing in this first step is to have an internal and external assessment that will provide us with the necessary information for determining the direction of our research.

      2. Select specific issues/opportunities and set the objectives

    Once we have identified possible issues or opportunities for our research, we have to select a specific issue or opportunity to focus our data gathering process depending on our priorities and on how useful this research is going to be for our company and performance. The next step is to define the goals that we want to achieve with this research. These goals can be the way to solve the problem or an answer to the hypothesis raised from the opportunity found.

      3. Plan an approach and methods

    The next step will be to decide what approach and what methods we are going to use in our Data Collection process. Depending on the objective, we will have to collect different types of data and use different data gathering methodologies. It is important to choose the correct sources to obtain good quality data, as it is a very important aspect to consider when we obtain data analysis information. This step also includes the definition of the target, or group of interest, and how we are going to get the information from them. This will not take the same time for all the types of data or objectives, that is the reason why we also have to plan the duration of the project.

      4. Collect data

    The fourth step will be to start with the data collection. All steps in the data collection process are very important and essential for good results. Nonetheless, this one is a very delicate stage and requires our attention to a lot of important aspects. We have to put special attention to any detail of this step as it can have a big influence on the results obtained. For example, we have to carefully consider who is going to collect the data, how to apply the methodology specified in the previous step, design how we are going to communicate and minimize the error of the results.

      5. Analyze and interpret data

    Once we have the data collected we have to analyze and interpret the results obtained. Depending on the type of data that we have gathered and the objectives that we want to achieve with this research, we are going to use different methods. Each company has to know its own capacity and expertise to analyze this data.

      6. Act on results

    We have mentioned that data collection is used by companies for making decisions with solid support. At this stage of the process, we have obtained the information required for making decisions. Now is the time to act according to the results obtained. There can be another scenario, a non-desirable one, in which the company realizes that they do not have enough information to support a decision. In this case, they will have to start the data collection process again.
