Forrester Research, Inc. is a global independent research and advisory firm. We empower leaders in technology, customer experience, digital, marketing, sales, and product functions to accelerate growth through customer obsession. Forrester’s unique research and continuance guidance model helps executives and their teams achieve their initiatives and outcomes faster and with confidence.
We believe that market dynamics — from empowered customers and changing business-to-business buying behaviors to rapid advancements in AI — have fundamentally changed the business and technology landscape. These dynamics demand that leaders architect change rather than react to disruption.
In this era of continuous disruption, AI and public large language models ("LLMs") are increasingly positioned as decision support partners, despite lacking the accuracy, the human judgment, and the reliability needed to make confident business decisions. To win, serve, and retain customers in this environment, we believe that organizations and their leaders have an increasing need for trusted guidance and insights grounded in objective sources, and rigorous data and research analysis, to help them make confident decisions that put customer value first. We believe that Forrester is well positioned to address this need through its complementary combination of trusted human intelligence ("HI") and AI.
