In the ever-evolving business landscape, the role of research analysts has become increasingly vital. However, many organisations are still grappling with the question of whether to rely on in-house talent or explore offshore alternatives.

Let's delve into two key points that often arise in this discussion and how Growth Hub is uniquely positioned to address these challenges.

The Global Analyst Equation

Expertise Knows No Borders

The notion that offshore analysts cannot match the calibre of their UK-based counterparts is a misconception. A well-trained analyst possesses a skill set that transcends geographical boundaries. What truly sets an analyst apart is their training quality, depth of expertise, and access to cutting-edge tools.

Tools of the Trade

With the advent of advanced technologies, analysts worldwide can access the same information and utilise similar tools. This global accessibility levels the playing field, allowing offshore analysts to compete effectively with their UK-based counterparts.

Leveraging Automation and AI: A Strategic Approach

The UK Analyst Conundrum

While UK-based analysts certainly have the capability to harness automation and AI, the challenge lies not in the execution but in the strategic implementation. It's not merely about using these tools; it's about knowing how to optimally integrate them into the research process.
