Research & Insight
We offer two main research services.
We design and deliver research that gives organisations a reliable picture of what is happening, what matters, and what to do next. Our work ranges from major public-facing studies and policy reviews to focused organisational diagnostics. In all cases, the aim is the same: evidence that stands up to scrutiny and is useful to decision-makers.
Large-scale research and policy insight
We design and deliver high-profile research programmes for governments, regulators, and large organisations. These projects often inform policy, strategy or public reporting and need to be robust, balanced and clearly presented.
Recent commissions include an international review of approaches to equality to inform the Scottish Government’s review of the Scottish Specific Duties under the Equality Act 2010, and a national study examining diversity in public appointments for the Ethical Standards Commissioner.

This service is suited to organisations that need credible, defensible evidence to support policy or provide public accountability. Our multi-lingual team allows us to conduct research with a global focus, allowing for a wider reach and deeper evidence base.
Organisational Audits
Many organisations are investing in inclusion and leadership but lack a clear view of what is working and where to focus next. Our audits provide an independent, evidence-based review of policy, practice and staff experience. The outcome is a clear baseline, a set of priorities and a practical action plan.
Most audits run over 6–8 weeks and provide a structured starting point for organisations that want to focus effort where it will make a measurable difference.
