Lisa Douglass, President and Black Belt in Research Consulting
Originally, I was on my way to Madison Avenue to make my mark in advertising when I realized I was far more interested in understanding what motivates customers and drives their behavior than in developing splashy advertising campaigns.
My passion for research is fueled by curiosity and a willingness to challenge assumptions. To me, this isn’t a novel approach. It’s simply the way I’ve always thought about things. Today, it’s often referred to as design thinking.
Curiosity drives me not only in my research but also in my personal life, particularly my appreciation of the arts. I find myself asking: What motivated the artist? How was the work created? Was it a collaboration? Was it inspired by an experience, something they saw, or simply a feeling?
I believe this genuine interest in understanding others carries over into my work with clients. It helps me look beyond the obvious, challenge conventional thinking, and uncover deeper insights—sometimes revealing unexpected opportunities for my clients to connect more meaningfully with their customers.

We believe good research starts with asking the right questions. We work closely with clients to understand their objectives, develop an appropriate research plan, and turn findings into practical recommendations.
From questionnaire development and fieldwork through analysis and reporting, we focus on research quality, thoughtful interpretation, and clear communication. We look beyond the numbers to understand what the findings mean and how they can be put to work.
