Research

Knowledge You Can Work With.

You want to understand what is happening. You want information that is reliable, trustworthy, clear, concise and actionable.

At INSIGHT IN ACTION we don’t cut corners. Thorough research is the very foundation of good decision-making and successful interventions – whether they are aimed at increasing productivity, customer and staff satisfaction, restructuring, mergers, changes of the organisational culture, or whatever it is your organisation is faced with.

We have extensive experience in researching organisations in depth and work closely with clients when designing and implementing research projects. Methods may include surveys and questionnaires, document analysis, observation, interviews, focus-group discussions, ethnography and action research designs. Typically a mixture of methods produces the best results.
