In order to achieve this, Larsen emphasises TNS's mission to have the right people in the right roles - so that client-centric people are matched with clients, while those with the most expertise at research level can focus on working out the best research design to suit individual clients. It is also about pairing clients with experts who have a deep understanding of their particular industry - whether it be FMCG, telecoms, media or automotive, for example - to further ensure that the work done fits well with the client's business identity and related requirements.
Linked to this, Larsen adds that to ensure each client is given the attention they require, TNS also boasts dedicated research teams, each solely assigned to one of the company's several larger clients, depending on expertise. This means that each team is afforded the time and space to work on relationship building with the client at every level, from design, to analysis and right through to delivery.
With these practices in place, TNS is well-positioned to have a real impact for its clients in finding effective ways of dealing with challenges, combatting erosion from competitors and driving incremental growth.
