The research is back at full capacity with the researcher on maternity returning to full duties.
October was the second month where the research team was rewarded using a performance-based reward system that allows the research team to earn based on their input effort. The team is getting used to the new way of working and the efficiency increasing further. We have noted an issue with some quality as the focus turned into volume neglecting quality. This will be addressed during November with a QA process rolled out. We will continue to streamline the process.
Performance for October was as follows:
- 352 (262) new projects were added.
- 908 (615) new companies created and verified.
- 1,871 (1,803) contacts (people) created.
Further content improvement is ongoing. We have now exhausted a number of lists for the top 500 companies in Africa, top 200 companies in Africa and Top 200 Banks in Africa. We’re working on financial data for listed and large companies where available.
Focus on Middle Eastern content has picked up during the month with an objective to launch content for Saudi Arabia & UAE in December 2020.
Currently focussing on all projects in the Oil, Gas, Petrochemical, Power, Water & Transport Infrastructure sectors. The aim is to have ~300 Middle East Projects by the time we go live.
