How we work…
Nexus consultants are experienced researchers and public policy specialists. Prior to joining The Nexus Network, many of us were employed in senior policy, thought leadership and/or academic roles. We work alongside our clients to develop a clear understanding of their research and policy requirements and develop a methodology appropriate to their needs.
In undertaking our research and policy work, Nexus consultants pride ourselves on our:
- robust methodology and rigorous analysis;
- skills in both qualitative and quantitative analysis;
- innovative research methods;
- stakeholder engagement skills;
- capacity to build the skills of others in public policy research, development and review.
Some of our work in this area includes…
