Research & Evaluation

Research & Evaluation

Our international team of experienced researchers employs a range of research skills to find practical answers to contemporary problems. We undertake evaluations; help organisations to evaluate their own work; conduct evidence and policy reviews; action research projects and exploratory research in contemporary issues. Underlying our work is a commitment to viewing research and consultancy as participatory – something done with, rather than to, others.

How we work

Our researchers work closely with their consultancy colleagues, and many of us work in both consultancy and research. We use theory and methods drawn from the social sciences to help individuals, groups and organisations find creative solutions to the challenges they face. Our projects include evaluation, action research and applied research for clients in a range of sectors. In each of these sections you will find examples of the work we have done.

Typically our research and evaluation work takes place in and around major programmes and in areas of innovation, or at the boundaries where sectors and organisations meet. Our current clients come from:
