Whether assessing public perceptions or an organization’s strengths and vulnerabilities, the inquiry process provides access to real-time information. The Perspectives Group designs assessment processes that measure key indicators and enable organizations to make informed decisions. Our strengths in qualitative and quantitative evaluative methods reflect a deep understanding of selecting the appropriate inquiry model for the situation, development of corresponding instruments, interview and data collection processes, and, the analysis, synthesis and interpretation of findings. We design assessments to provide the information needed to affect real change. Common outcomes include the identification of broad direction and values, motivating factors, organizational aspirations, and knowledge about what can be achieved and what needs to come next.
