Our Methodology involves a six-pronged approach:
1) Identification of Client Objectives: Typically, a face-to-face
interview, this meeting is intended to coordinate and develop specific
goals, what the client is trying to achieve, by employing the anticipated
research.
2) Research Program Development: Based within a proposal, this
includes the outlining of a research program employing a multi-pronged
approach, including data collection and analysis, focused to achieve client
objectives. Also, established in this phase are time-frame of report completion
& delivery and matters of budget.
