Will a market for backyard food waste composters continue now that the City has implemented curbside pickup of food waste?
Are people willing to return unused medicines at pharmacies rather than flush them down the toilet or throw them in the garbage?
What are the most effective ways to educate people about green gardening, especially reaching people who use pesticides and lawn chemicals?
Measurable Outcomes - Questions like these come up everyday for policy makers who are accountable for quantifying the costs and benefits of programs, and demonstrating that their programs have measurable outcomes. Claiming that a program has reached x number of people is no longer sufficient. The program must demonstrate that x number of tons of food waste have been diverted from the landfill. Organizations need to demonstrate that their programs have affected changes in behavior in their targeted customers.
We specialize in research to answer these strategic questions using both quantitative and qualitative survey research methods. Using various techniques in analyzing survey data, potential customers for a market or program can be targeted. The outcome of this detailed analysis of data means that the client is getting a more cost-effective program.
Client Relationships - We work closely with clients to design an evaluation plan specific to needs and objectives. We understand that clients don’t want volumes of data, but do want information synthesized with key points clearly documented. Data are presented in readable tables, graphics and supporting text, with clearly written summaries for the decision makers.
