(4.3) Which frequency of reporting for your market insights?

Many of the market intelligence tasks mentioned previously will have a ‘natural’ frequency of reporting. Market share figures, for instance, are mostly reported on by quarter, so the work based on these figures will have to be organized by quarter as well. Other tasks, like monitoring the business environment, will need daily attention and should hence be communicated through tools that allow the target audience to pro-actively get the insights, like an internal blog for instance. Ultimately the exact frequency of reporting will depend on your exact situation and priorities, but here under is a tentative general overview that worked for me in the past:


As said this overview is far from a ‘one size fits all’. It only aims at showing that different types of insights require different frequencies of communication. But building such an overview up front will also provide a good sense of how much resources your company needs in order to build an efficient market intelligence practice.
