What People Say

Testimonials

Research Consulting and 4Sciences brought significant rigour to the delivery of a challenging project and their reporting outputs are excellent. A disciplined approach to project management kept us informed and on track against a very tight delivery timescale. Regular catch-ups kept the British Council team engaged in the progress and highlighted how the evidence was addressing the brief, allowing us to agree changes in focus to reflect the emerging evidence.

Research Consulting fully understood the brief and used their expertise to help refine it. The outputs were what we were hoping for and the team demonstrated their flexibility through navigating between the strategic and tactical challenges that we brought as clients. They are also very knowledgeable, with a friendly and relaxed style which suited the team that commissioned them. We would most certainly recommend Research Consulting to other clients.

In a nutshell, Research Consulting are: people who listen. Who ensure they understand. Who know what's possible and what's not possible, but who never settle for vanilla. Who breathe integrity, honesty and do their very best to deliver the very best. Who adopt the client's mantle and make the client shine. Who collect data, the right amount, and take pains to interpret it correctly. Who offer much more than just value. Who are people rather than a brand.

We engaged Research Consulting for a focussed, quick piece of research on open access costs. The work had a hard deadline and required significant liaison with our members and some external bodies. All of this was handled expertly and Research Consulting brought extensive knowledge of modelling and scholarly communication to the project - completing it in time and to budget.

The Research Consulting team was professional and communicative throughout. They asked challenging questions and went above and beyond to provide relevant context and content to our project. All reports were delivered on time and have met the project requirements completely. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

Research Consulting are a pleasure to work with, we've had some excellent feedback from everyone attending our workshops - they have taken useful tools away with them to apply to their business development activities and were far more engaged than we have found in other similar workshops.
