How Accenture Uses Quid to Power Data-Led Thought Leadership

In this webinar, Paul Merry from Accenture Research shares how his team leverages Quid to turn messy, unstructured data into precise, actionable insights that fuel thought leadership, product innovation, and customer experience design. Whether it's analyzing patents, blogs, or customer reviews, Quid serves as a discovery engine—helping Accenture find hidden signals, benchmark against competitors, and continually refine their hypotheses throughout the research process.

Key Takeaways

  • “Intuition at Superhuman Scale”: Quid enables Accenture to analyze complex, qualitative inputs like customer reviews and surface hidden patterns across thousands of data points.

  • From Noise to Signal: In a CX redesign project, Accenture used Quid to extract real customer pain points from noisy Trustpilot reviews—transforming unstructured complaints into clear competitive benchmarks.

  • Flexible and Iterative Research: Quid supports dynamic hypothesis testing—allowing teams to pivot as they uncover new themes, rather than being locked into a static research plan.

  • Visual Storytelling for Execs: Accenture restructured Quid’s outputs into digestible visuals like Sankey diagrams and benchmarking indexes to communicate findings across non-technical audiences.

  • A Launchpad for Deeper Research: Quid doesn’t just deliver answers—it sparks new questions. In this project, it led to follow-up ethnographic studies and usability research on outperforming peers.

  • H Mart Sample Insight Brief

    The narratives around H Mart cluster into four main stories: H Mart as a price/value driver, a cultural hub, a locational amenity, and a retention engine via food courts. Analysts should treat these as distinct tags, weight evening-discount and food-court references for retention, and monitor explicit expansion requests to quantify unmet demand—each step grounded in direct user quotes.

  • YETI Sample Insight Brief

    Over the last 12 months, dominant narratives cluster into three business-critical areas: product performance and value comparisons (Yeti vs. Costco/niche brands), health/sanitation concerns around non-disassemblable bottle designs, and engagement mechanics driven by community CTAs and structured participation. These intersect with investor and seasonal retail dynamics. Immediate priorities are fixing design hygiene and sealing issues, reframing messaging to address insulation vs. leak tradeoff, and leveraging community-engagement mechanics and seasonal calendars to capture demand while monitoring event-driven equity signals
