Testimonials

We’ve enjoyed the last four years of working with Insights Matter on a variety of research projects. They are strategic, thorough, insightful and dedicated. They are very collaborative and we always know what’s going on. And the way they report information is unique and focuses on what we need to do. We trust them.

– ENMAX Energy Corporation

Insights Matter is a partner, not just a service provider. No matter how small or large the project, Derek and his team take the time to understand the why behind our projects. Insights Matter never makes us feel like our project is just another one on a list. They take their time to work with us and assist in setting objectives and improve methodologies and instruments. Their reports stand out because they’re not just full of words and numbers, and the attention to detail and layout make them very easy to read. They always provide us with very clear direction. With Insights Matter, we never worry. We look forward to continuing the partnership with Insights Matter.

How we do it

We’re experts at designing conversations and translating them into insights. For us, those conversations hinge on how well we set participants up for success.

To do that, we engage participants in translations, analogies, creative thinking, binary oppositions and collaboration.

When gathering insights, researchers are constantly “hiring” research participants to provide their perspective… and hopefully insight. We hire them to help us solve some sort of problem we’re working on.

At Insights Matter, we believe that this process of setting participants up for success is one of the most important parts of research – and one that most researchers don’t think about at all.
