Research and Insights

Customer, Citizen & Employee

CSPN leverages qualitative and quantitative insight solutions to aid our clients in understanding and improving their customer, citizen, and employee experiences. CSPN’s approach combines human-centric research, advanced analytics, and data visualization to uncover and bring experiences to life.

Qualitative

CSPN leverages a variety of qualitative techniques to understand concepts, opinions, or experiences of your customers, citizens, or employees. We leverage these techniques to gather in-depth insights into a problem or generate new ideas or methods.

Characteristics of qualitative research methods:

  • Collect data in real time where the participants are experiencing problems
  • Work towards solving complex issues through in-depth understanding of experiences
  • Build trust with the research team to uncover unfiltered insights

Our methods include:

  • Ethnographic Research – observe and/or interact with participants in their real-life environment to develop a deep understanding of the problem
  • Focus Groups – group interviews with a small number of participants who have common traits or experiences
  • In-depth Interviews – intensive interviews with one or a small number of participants to explore perspectives on a particular idea, situation, or problem
  • Mystery Shopping – observational research technique to report on quality of service and experience

Quantitative

CSPN leverages a variety of quantitative techniques to find patterns and averages, make predictions, test casual relationships, and generalize results to larger populations. Quantitative data enables CSPN to provide data-driven decisions backed by statistically significant analyses.

Characteristics of quantitative research methods:

  • Collect reliable and accurate data with standardized data collection
  • Perform a wider scope of data analysis techniques and process data from larger samples

Our methods include:

  • Survey Research – design and administer surveys across digital, telephone, and in-person channels
  • Descriptive Research – obtain data to describe a population or segment of interest
  • Correlational Research – investigate relationships between variables or concepts of interest
  • Experimental Research – systematically examine if a caused-and-effect relationship exists between variables
