We are focussed on enabling and supporting our clients to accelerate the changes they want to make, find out the differences they are making and understand what needs to change.
Our team works collaboratively with our clients to develop a research approach that delivers the solutions they need in a cost effective, convenient and timely manner. We work hard to build trust and respect, and deliver robust results that can be relied upon. We maintain positive relationships with stakeholders and we are committed to producing high quality research. This approach has ensured repeat business and loyalty from our clients.
We are relational, insightful and highly skilled research and evaluation practitioners. Above all, however, we are committed to change. |

What we offer
|
01. Qualitative Research
We have extensive experience with traditional, and not so traditional, qualitative methods. Alongside traditional tools such as interviews and focus groups, we also have experience with more creative and interactive methods of data collection, such as photovoice, SpeakOUT community consultation methods and impact profiles.

02. Quantitative Research
Our team is experienced in weighting, preparing and analysing survey data. We have a wide knowledge of local and international data sources and are skilled at the idenfication, collection and analysis of statistical data. We work closely with an online research agency to conduct large scale surveys (e.g. 20,000 respondents), alongside small surveys (300 respondents).

03. Evaluation
Evaluation work can be tricky. We have found that an effective strengths-based evaluation approach is to work alongside organisations as a `critical friend’, highlighting aspects that are working well, recommending approaches to improve areas that are not working well, and suggesting areas to move away from. In our experience, this instils confidence, encourages openness in interviewees and results in reports that are perceived as useful and are more likely to be released.

04. Capacity Building
We work alongside many organisations in a mentoring role, such as facilitating visioning processes, developing theories of change, logic modelling and developing the organisational capacity to engage in evaluative thinking and reflective practices.

Client Testimonials

"Point Research co-created and produced an evaluation of 10 years of our flagship programme, World of Difference. The team are extremely professional yet highly personable and listened and responded to our needs. They took the time to understand our kaupapa and approached the project with creativity, enthusiasm and always went the extra mile. This resulted in a high quality publication which we have been able to share with our key stakeholders and has also helped influenced our Foundation’s strategy and activity moving forward."

"BrandCapital have been fortunate to work with Nadine and Alex on a number of projects. The complexity of the issues they have helped us unlock would daunt most other researchers but they have both the intellectual breadth to understand the issues, and the social skills to draw out the answers that have proven invaluable to decoding the problems at hand. In addition, that the team at Point Research are flexible, resourceful and infallibly enjoyable to work affirms why they were recommended to us in the first place."
