With the development of sophisticated software tools, people and organisations new to qualitative research have embraced large and ambitious projects.  Whilst the software tools provide the means and power to manage and interrogate the data, the quality of the research rests with the researchers themselves.

Research Assist works with academics, and organisations to provide advice on the appropriate structuring of a project.  The start-up structure is important so as to manage in-depth and complex data in a timely and labour efficient manner. During initial consulting sessions, we focus on the required project outcomes, staffing resources and in-house governance capacity.
