We understand the problem of information overload. Sometimes you just need someone else to do the heavy lifting to find out who has solved the issue your organization is facing.
We will work with you to zero in on defining the problem that needs to be investigated. Following contemporary and traditional research methods, we will locate the information you need and tailor each report to relate our findings to the unique opportunities and challenges your organization faces.
Examples of projects we have worked on include environmental scans, trend reporting and analysis, program evaluation, training needs assessment and curriculum development, labour market demand and supply analysis, feasibility studies, survey design and results analysis, and the development of operational processes and procedures.
