Research

Our process

We’ll turn your organisational objectives into a set of clear research questions. Then we’ll identify any relevant data that already exists, and what new information needs to be gathered in order to answer them.

Objectives

We’ll turn your organisational objectives into a set of clear research questions. Then we’ll identify any relevant data that already exists, and what new information needs to be gathered in order to answer them.

Design

We’ll work with you to produce an outline research proposal, taking into account how complex the project is, the balance between research and analytical work required, and the amount of time and budget available.

Research and analysis

Our research team will get on with the work of gathering, interpreting, and preparing to present findings back to you. Your involvement in this stage will depend on the nature of the project – if it’s a small project or mainly desk-based analysis or survey work you won’t see much of us until it’s done. If it’s a larger more involving piece of work or we’re running workshops and sessions with your beneficiaries for example, you might be more involved in this stage.

Presentation

The finished research will be presented back to you – usually in the form of a report, but depending on the work this may also involve us submitting data, presenting to senior staff or trustees, or working with you on how to practically apply and use what we’ve presented to you.
