Optimizing the Engine Behind Insights

---

Optiva Labs helps market research and insights firms improve delivery, margin, and operating performance through fractional COO support and practical advisory. The work is focused, structured, and designed to make execution predictable. 

Market research and insights companies scale fast, complexity shows up faster, more clients, more teams, more handoffs, more tools, more locations, more decisions. When ownership is unclear and cadence is inconsistent, leaders become the bottleneck and delivery becomes unpredictable. Optiva Labs installs the operating system that makes performance repeatable. 

How we work
We bring an operator’s approach, practical, structured, and execution focused. 

Step 1, clarify ownership and decision rights
Define what each leader and team owns, remove overlap, map decision rights, and set escalation paths so decisions move at the right level. 

Step 2, design the operating model
Map handoffs and workflows, define service levels, confirm onshore and offshore mix, and build the capacity and cost model behind delivery 

Step 3, install simple metrics and cadence
Build a KPI pack, set a weekly operating rhythm, create performance reviews, and define decision forums that keep execution moving 

Step 4, drive adoption and sustainment

Create a change plan, enable leaders, hand off ownership, and install sustainment routines so improvements stick 

Who we serve

• PE sponsors and portfolio leadership teams who want operating guidance, accountability, and measurable value creation
• Founder led insights firms preparing to scale, professionalize operations, or raise institutional capital
• Publicly owned insights businesses modernizing delivery and improving performance consistency

If you are dealing with delivery inconsistency, margin pressure, integration work, or offshore scaling, we can recommend a clear starting point in one call.
