About Herbert Höckel
Höckel has been one of the pioneers in digital market research since 2004, when he founded his own institute, moweb research GmbH, in Düsseldorf (Germany). Furthermore, he is a consultant and keynote speaker on topics such as customer centricity, innovation and disruption. Since 2021, he has also been CEO of AMR Advanced Market Research (Düsseldorf).
More about the book:
Being close to customers isn’t enough anymore. The customer should be at the centre of business. The book aims to help make this possible by making market research “more accessible.”
‘Through Your Customer’s Eyes’ shows why customer centricity matters by combining firm opinion and supporting evidence. From an opinion perspective, Herbert states:
“Customers, not you, your business, or your competitors determine whether a product succeeds or fails.”
Herbert best sums up his belief in customer centricity with two stark warnings to brands who think they don’t need to put the customer at the centre of their business:
1) no brand is too big to fail.
2) if you don’t satisfy your customer, someone else will.
Providing the reader with a research toolkit
By wanting to make market research more accessible, Herbert has committed to giving his readers a crash-course in research methods.
This isn’t as easy as it sounds though. Discuss too many methods and all the reader has is a methodological glossary. Deep dive into one method more than the others and the reader has a bias view.
To negate this challenge, Herbert brilliantly touches on the main market research methods. From quantitative to qualitative. From big data to agile research.
But more importantly he provides the frameworks to apply these too (like VUCA and the design thinking double diamond).
And MOST importantly, he details the skills that apply to ALL research projects regardless of their shape, size or approach. These include the need for: professionalism, brilliant briefing, tangible target groups and clear insight communication.
Balancing the value of fundamentals and a future view
Any book that leans too heavily on its chosen subject’s fundamentals risks repeating what the reader knows already. Conversely, any book that overly focuses on the future risks trying to be a crystal ball. Giving the two equal exposure is therefore a tough balancing act.
But it’s a balancing act ‘Through Your Customer’s Eyes’ achieves like an expert tight-rope walker.
This is necessary because Herbert is aiming to make market research accessible. And this requires giving readers an understanding of research fundamentals.
But these fundamentals need to be future proofed. Which is why Herbert discusses disruption at length. And how AI can potentially re-shape research.
