Consultative Relational Research speaks to a model of service and a pivotal research focus. Our version of consultative research builds from the assumption that each of our clients have a unique story and contextual experience. We keenly listen for what is unique about each client, and build a collaborative approach that addresses their foremost research need in the most suitable manner and within the necessary scope.

We focus on relational research for multiple, interrelated reasons. To start, relationships are central to the functioning of organizations. Regardless of how healthy the relationships are, organizations require people to be in communication and somewhat responsive to one another to get anything done, whether it involves producing goods and services or fundraising. Still, those in position to lead would much rather have healthy relationships flowing throughout the organization than the opposite. The challenge with this is the fact that relationships are as pressurized as they are powerful. Simply stated, it is not an easy thing to please everybody on staff when the world around you is full of division and you are placed in the unenviable position of leading teams from diverse backgrounds through the winds of increasing polarization.

As a research consultancy that is grounded in an awareness of how social divisions impact organizations, we help you properly assess the current state of your key relationships. We know that once you have data-informed clarity on where your relationships stand, you can make your advance towards the sweet reality of constructive relationships. We share much more on these themes in our latest white paper. You can sign-up to receive your copy below.
