Our Methods

As our name implies, we specialise in running Focus Groups, but we offer a whole range of other face to face research and consultative methods including:

  • Focus Groups – standard, mini groups and large groups
  • Workshop facilitation
  • Stakeholder consultations
  • Depth Interviews/Paired interviews
  • Street conversations
  • Telephone interviews
  • Online communities

We are always exploring new ways of getting people engaged and involved and improving the methods and service we offer.

  

Collaboration

It is important that the research you commission is relevant, actionable and engages the right people and method.  We like to work in collaboration with our clients so that we fully understand how the research fits with the rest of your strategic plans.  This ensures we do the best job we can for you.


Full Service

We offer a full service, from designing the research, developing the questions, finding the people to take part, doing the research and analysing and reporting your results.  We can do all of this or some of this, depending on your needs. We are happy to advise and support the bits that you prefer to do yourself.


Your Results

We don’t just tell you what people said, but provide thorough interpretation and recommendations. We are skilled analysts and provide insightful meaningful reports/debriefs that help you to fully understand the implications of the research for your organisation.

We also discuss the type of reporting that suits your needs – we pride ourselves that our reports are succinct enough to be read and in depth enough to provide real analysis, guidance and information for you to action.

Your feedback may entail:

  • A full written report/A one page debrief
  • A presentation/A chat/A debrief meeting
  • A workshop/a written research paper


..Or any combination of the above
