Who We Are
The Consumer Insights and Business Innovation Center (CiBiC) is an interdisciplinary center established for the study of human behavior with an emphasis on market-driven results. Research conducted at CiBiC relates to how humans feel, think and behave, with a focus on innovation.
The Denver-based consumer insights Center engages students, faculty and members of the community by providing a multi-functional space for collecting and interpreting primary and secondary data, including conducting various type of qualitative and quantitative research.
We conduct research on consumer insights to expose students to different types of methods and create stronger connections with businesses, particularly within the Denver area.
Our Research Model for Consumer Insights
The Center uses a proprietary research framework, referred to as an “Innovation by Design Journey,” to generate meaningful consumer insights and inspire innovative solutions. It guides students, faculty and businesses along this journey that starts with discovering the needs, feelings and behaviors of consumers and ends with ideas for developing new and improved market offerings.
Vision
Become a world-class research center that enables faculty, students and businesses to explore and use the newest, cutting-edge technologies to create solutions that address business problems across a wide variety of industries.
