Consulting

We offer more than research solutions to our clients.  We provide assistance in concept, strategy, and program development, performance tracking, and facilitating change within client organizations.  We are on retainer to a number of clients who want to continually use our services.

Strategic and Tactical Planning

Innovative thought is the only the first step in creating success.  Our social science research background gives us the discipline to take ideas from hypothesis to theory to proven fact.  That is why clients often use us as a sounding board to discuss ideas or initiatives.  We can offer the strategies, methodologies, and economics to test new hypotheses, measure their validity, scope, and economic value.

development and deployment of a new business strategies

The development and deployment of a new business strategy can often involve implementing substantial changes in an organization, its people, and its technology. For this process to succeed, existing beliefs and models of reality might have to be changed. The organization will have to create operational alignment so that individuals, departments, and divisions will be working synergistically in supporting the new strategy.  This process is replete with potential barriers to success such as passive resistance, inter-group turf wars, fear of failure, and difficulties in identifying and establishing incentives and competencies across the organization.

We facilitate this process, using our expertise and experience in social psychology and group dynamics, and in developing internal database tools that allow clients to monitor their performance in a variety of areas.

Performance Measurement Tools

An integral part of our services is data analysis. We have staff with over twenty years of experience in database design, data integration, and application development. We can help clients consolidate diverse information sources and create new programming tools to monitor and manage organizational performance.
