Fosway Behind the 9-Grid

BEHIND THE FOSWAY 9-GRIDS™

We get asked a lot about what’s behind the analysis that goes into each of the Fosway 9-Grids™. And the answer is a lot! Whenever we start a new 9-Grid™ there is usually a 3+ year process behind it that builds on pre-existing research. Each 9-Grid™ then includes data from the following:

  • Fosway’s Corporate Research Network members
  • Structured roundtables and qualitative research
  • Corporate enquiries and private advisory insights
  • Public research process/surveys
  • Structured data capture – functional and non-functional
  • Independent vendor briefings/demonstrations
  • Formal customer reference process
  • Customer satisfaction data

It highlights the inclusion critieria for vendors that appear on each of the Fosway 9-Grids™ and lifts the lid on the thousands of data points involved in each analysis throughout their annual cycles.

Our analysts work on the 9-Grids™ all year round so you don’t have to! Each analysis is an annual cycle that builds over the year, so what you see on the diagram really is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the data and insight we have about each vendor on every 9-Grid™. The goal of the research is to help HR, talent and learning professionals make better buying decisions.
