"Flexibility Means Creativity"

With a background in psychology, twenty-nine years of research experience facilitates creating surveys with additional depth in the areas of preferences, values and beliefs. For example, in the analysis of results, a psychological background enhances the analysis of open-ended questions to produce clearer and deeper understandings of underlying motivations.
As an independent consultant working out of a home office, I am usually available beyond regular business hours.
I have worked extensively with children and have used this experience to develop a skill of explaining complex issues at the level of the adult listener.
Non-profit organizations receive a 20% discount, and graduate students receive a 30% discount.
- Having worked on well over 300 adult oriented projects in the last two decades, plus working with children and having a natural creative side, I can bring extensive crossover skills to your project.
- I can work as either contractor or sub-contractor.
- There is no one here except myself. No communication will be read or heard by anyone except myself.
- I run the clock flexibly, in your favor. I stop the clock for personal communication (i.e., getting to know you), and most clarifications (i.e., it's my fault I didn't explain it well), and of course any mistakes I make.
- It might be evident that I'm not a hard core business person. I relate best with clients who are flexible. Flexibility means creativity to me, and I always like to bring some creative twist to any project that can handle it.
- Making surveys interesting for the people taking them is important to me, as is reporting the results to you in an easy to read and understand style.
- A service provider wants to know how customers rate their services, what services may be of interest in the future, and perhaps qualitative aspects of the environment in which they want those services to be provided.
- A small business desires feedback from their customers on a variety of topics. Beyond the usual and customary feedback, perhaps some information about what the customer feels when in the place of business could be used to increase return business.
- A social service or counseling agency wants a means for clients to provide anonymous feedback about their service providers. In this instance, I would serve as a "confidentiality buffer" to allow more honest feedback.
- A working and/or married graduate student needs someone to do some of the busywork (data entry, tables of results, memo describing significant sub-group interactions) that is not required of her/him to do personally.
- A private school wants research.
- I can offer a great deal of help with the non-academic side, that is, everything except teaching methods. I have created surveys which children can take, from first grade (adult-administered) through college. I can consult about more general child management issues as well.
- I have consulted with a before-and-after care program to help set up and conduct worker in-service training and to provide a practical and internally consistent way to both understand the children and provide intervention.
- I had sole responsibility for creating and running an 18 year longitudinal study to follow a set of elementary children into adulthood. This research has been published. See my Education Research page for summaries.
- I offer a unique and cost-effective means of telephone interviewing. Please visit this page for details.
- Using this telephone interview process, it is simple to paste into appendices verbatim responses to open ended questions, which I can analyze for common themes and which you can review as well. This serves to add depth, as well as a reality check, to quantitative survey questions
- Tables of results are produced simultaneously with the same software used for significance analysis. I have developed a condensed but readable output format.
- I can work closely with you to reduce some of your costs. There are various things I can train someone at your end to do for the project.
