Creating a behaviour-based segmentation model

Construction Industry Training Board is the Sector Skills Council for Construction with 80,000 members. CITB had been undertaking an annual employer and stakeholder study with nearly 2,000 people but needed support in applying the outputs effectively. Turquoise was asked to analyse four years of ESR data and use the findings to develop a segmentation model linked to behavioural data.

I have worked with Turquoise on two key pieces of research for our organisation. Their analysis provided invaluable additional insight, and the team were very proactive. A pleasure to work with.

Methodology

Following an extensive quantitative market research exercise with employers and stakeholders, Turquoise became the first research agency able to produce a workable segmentation model that could be applied back to the whole database.

Outcome

With all members now identified by segment, Turquoise was asked to undertake qualitative market research for CITB to enhance their communication strategy with each of these key groups.

A further research project was commissioned by CITB: an attitudinal segmentation of 1,000 young people aged between 14 -18, 500 parents and 650 careers advisers. This research has been successfully used by the organisation to further enhance engagement within these groups.
