CHOOSE THE RIGHT APPROACH
Different Questions Need Different Methods.
A research brief may call for measurable survey evidence, a deeper exploration of perceptions, a review of existing information, or a combination of approaches. We develop the method around the question rather than starting with a single technique.
The company profile describes ad hoc, tracking and syndicated studies, as well as specialised and bespoke assignments. Research can support a specific decision or provide a continuing view of customers, brands and markets.
Quantitative Research
Structured surveys help measure attitudes, behaviours, experiences and differences across audiences.
Qualitative Research
Moderated discussions, interviews and observation explore the reasons and context behind people’s decisions.
Mixed-Method Studies
Qualitative depth and quantitative measurement can be combined within a single research design.
RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY
From Collection to Clear Analysis.
Our profile identifies tools for survey collection, data processing, statistical analysis, qualitative analysis and visual reporting. The choice of tool follows the needs of the brief, the data and the audience.
Technology supports the research process; the quality of the question, the care taken in collection and the interpretation of findings remain central.
Collection Platforms
SurveyCTO, SurveyToGo, Qualtrics, REDCap, KoboToolbox and Open Data Kit are included in the profile’s research technology toolkit.
Analytical Tools
Python, R, IBM SPSS Statistics, NVivo and advanced Microsoft Excel support different forms of processing and analysis.
Visual Reporting
Power BI, Tableau and clear infographics help communicate evidence in a form decision-makers can use.
