Featured article Why use a professional moderator?
by Qualitative Research Consultants Association

A professional knows how to:
  • Establish rapport with respondents
  • Probe beyond rationalizations to uncover genuine motivations
  • Interpret and build on what they hear
  • Maintain flexibility in guiding the discussion without losing sight of the objectives
  • “Turn on a dime” – adapt their approach when they and the clients encounter unexpected issues or insights
  • Manage the energy level and personality dynamics of the discussion
  • Avoid creating bias among respondents
A professional is prepared for challenging situations, and is able to:
  • Get around respondents’ defensive behavior
  • Effectively handle talkers and non-talkers
  • Keep unexpected issues from sabotaging the discussion
  • Notice contradictions that don’t "ring true"
  • Handle sensitive topics with diplomacy
  • Recognize problem respondents and act appropriately
A professional brings:
  • Mastery of multiple techniques
  • Experience in diverse disciplines
  • Knowledge about relevant trends in other categories and industries
A professional does more than moderate. They also:
  • Help sharpen the focus and clarify the objectives of the research
  • Ensure objectivity from the design stage through final analysis
  • Stay focused on clients' business issues, to ensure the research findings are relevant and actionable
  • Build a positive working relationship with clients
  • Help keep the research team objective about the topic
  • Stand up to pressure when necessary based on the research learning
A professional ensures high standards by:
  • Protecting client confidentiality
  • Protecting respondent confidentiality and anonymity
  • Staying committed to non-discriminatory recruiting
  • Being considerate and respectful of respondents and their differences
