People Insights
Our research develops insights that cut through complexity, precisely define people issues and help you to generate action.
Avoid wasteful projects with our people insights
Before embarking on any major people project you should first have a clear definition of the problem you’re trying to solve.
Our research soutions will provide insights that help you make people decisions with confidence: That your projects will deliver results; avoid wasted time and none; and get buy-in from stakeholders.
Make a compelling case for change
We’re living in a period of unprecedented change and volatility. Not only does that place new demands on your people, but it also means that their needs and expectations are changing.
Many people problems are wicked problems. They are complex, multi-faceted and ambiguous. This makes it very difficult to build consensus among decision-makers and achieve their buy-in to potential solutions.
Ou people insights solutions will help you to make the clear, compelling and evidence-based case that you need to get your people projects off the starting blocks.
What people ‘problems’ can we help you solve?
We can develop insights into any ‘human’ problem at work that relates in some way to motivation, emotion or behaviour. That’s most things, but here are some examples.
Performance
Stress
Relationships
Engagement
Change
Innovation
How we develop people insights
Our team’s combination of psychological expertise and business experience enable us to solve the most challenging people problems.
We use a combination quantitative and qualitative approaches, which is determined by your needs and context. You might have already run a survey, for example, and need a deeper insight into some of the issues. Equally, however, we might start with interviews or focus groups and then quantify the results.
The dynamics of motivation and emotion
