Ci Research – Local Authority research specialists
Ci Research is an established and experienced full service agency that offers a flexible, intelligent and tailored approach to market research and research consultancy. We have over 20 years experience of working for clients across the private and public sectors and are specialists in conducting research for Local Authorities.
Our research for Local Authorities has focused on a broad range of subjects, including labour market assessments and employment interventions, business development and support, resident satisfaction and attitudinal studies, service evaluations and childcare research.
We have extensive experience of conducting research with:
Residents
Sampling public opinion to understand the views of local residents; capturing perceptions of strong performance and issues of concern, evaluating the effectiveness of policies and identifying future priorities.
The Business Community
Conducting research with local businesses, from the large scale multinationals to SMEs, to explore attitudes, levels of optimism and support requirements.
Hard to Reach Groups
By engaging, understanding and giving a voice to hard-to-reach members of society, such as individuals living in deprived areas, black and ethnic minority groups, those not in education, employment or training (NEET) and the young, old and disabled, we have helped our clients to develop inclusive polices and services.
Service Users
We work closely with clients to consult with current and former service users, assessing levels of satisfaction and advocacy to monitor standards, indentify areas for improvement and help ensure the delivery of high quality public services.
Stakeholders
Consulting with key internal and external stakeholders is a core specialism of Ci Research and we have significant experience of engaging representatives at all levels (from delivery to leadership), either independently or in groups.
Staff
By surveying your staff Ci Research can highlight the key drivers of employee satisfaction and performance within your organisation. Insight into levels of optimism and loyalty and assessments of the effectiveness of internal communications, team working and management styles help to identify areas of current strength and recommendations for action – whether across the organisation as a whole or with certain groups of employees.
As a full service research agency we have strong in-house capability in all traditional means of capturing quantitative and qualitative insight, including telephone surveys (through our in-house CATI telephone unit), online-surveys, postal surveys, street interviews, focus groups, depth interviews and mystery shopping. We can also offer clients more innovative research solutions and bespoke hybrid techniques – these include insight films, ethnography, online focus groups and online communities. We also specialise conducting policy and strategy reviews and in analysing secondary data.
