Welcome to our Website

We are expert practitioners in research and planning, who love training and know how to design it so you can put it to effective use.

Our courses help you become more confident, rounded and professional. The courses are interactive, with a mix of theory and exercises and are backed up by comprehensive reference notes and workbooks.

We do in-house training and coaching too. Just ask for advice if you are not sure what you need.

Our open programme covers mainly qualitative research methods, and we have the knowledge and resources to provide training in aspects of Account Planning and Quantitative Research. If you are a research buyer or work in the public sector we have experience of that too. Just ask - we can create bespoke courses.

Open Courses for 2010 more..

Our first course is the Creative Toolbox for Discussion Guides, enabling you to find the right technique to meet those research objectives. It's the ultimate source of inspiration. More details here.

Look out for a radical new Insight course, now including insights into how clients work with insights, how to understand and integrate the new Qualitative Online approaches, and a two part Analysis course, that now includes a day on external models and theories that are particularly useful for researchers.

Special Offer on in-house courses (booked before end of March 2010)

In house courses have always been a cost-effective way to organize training for 4 or more participants, plus you get to specify more of the content and have the course at a time and place to suit you. NOW they are even more affordable.

Up to March we are writing papers, speaking at conferences and developing our new courses, so the offer applies to our extensive range of existing courses, such as Projective and Enabling Techniques, Insight Generation, Analysis and Interpretation, Facilitating Workshops, Advancing your Moderating, or Psychology for Researchers and Planners.

Click here to send us an email enquiry with the general topics you are interested in and we will help you choose and give you a quote. Consider sharing a day with other researchers or planners you work or network with; the more participants the cheaper the cost per person.
