Start. Use. Do.
Rob Rowlands Research provides a bespoke research training and support service to businesses - public, private and voluntary sector - who address social, economic and environmental challenges.
We provide you with the skills and confidence to ask different questions and find better information questions, so that you can make the difference your business wants to see in the world.
How do we do that?
By getting you on the right track with the best skills to find what you need.
We help you understand exactly where you are, the information you need to use and where and how to find it.
We support you in finding that information for yourself and - where you need it - identifying the right specialist input to fill the gaps.
We open your eyes to the information and data that you already have access to, the tools which you can use and the resources you can employ, deploy and repurpose to make that happen.
And we develop the skills and build the confidence you need to put clear plans in place to realise progress.
Be more efficient with what you have. Be more effective with what you know. And be an intelligent consumer of specialist services to get better value for money.
Rob Rowlands Research provides you with help, support and confidence every step of the way to make the most of what you have.
Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.
Make a difference.
