Project Methodology
The information for the study was obtained from a myriad of primary and secondary sources
to allow information cross-checking along the way for higher level of accuracy as well as to
have deeper understanding of key findings.
5.1 Regular consultation and update with key stakeholders
Consultation and information gathering with all relevant stakeholders (ILMIA and industry
associations) was an important part of this project, especially at the commencement period to
further understand the specific needs and issues, as well as clarify on existing information and
preliminary hypotheses. The consultation also ensured that primary and secondary research are
conducted in a more targeted and effective manner, and would be consistently aligned to the
overall objectives.
In addition, this information sharing and update session was able to facilitate a better
understanding of the market and enabled us to focus on the key areas rather than ‘reinventing
the wheel’.
There were regular progress updates and discussions with the stakeholders throughout the
duration of the project to ensure all issues were resolved promptly and initial findings were
discussed from time to time. The progress updates included:
1. Fortnightly working group meeting comprises representatives from ILMIA and
relevant stakeholders (when possible and necessary)
2. Monthly progress report
