CONSULTING SERVICES

• Dashboard Development (SM)
  If you've been asked to develop a PR or Communications "Dashboard" complete with the key metrics that drive your organization, we can help. We work with corporations and organizations to help them define the key measures of success that belong on their "dashboards." We then conduct the research and provide you with a complete analysis of your results. Click here for sample dashboards.
• Measurement System Selection
  Computers and the Internet have given us access to quantities of data and a plethora of measurement systems. KDPaine & Partners helps you sort through the myriad systems available to you to help you select the one that is right for your organization. We can write the RFP, interview vendors, collect data and even write your reports.
• Analysis, Insight and Recommendations
  If you're not used to analyzing research reports, all those numbers and tables can be mind numbing, if not totally confusing. Turn them over to KDPaine & Partners measurement experts, and we'll help develop an action plan from your data. We'll analyze your organization, look at your data, and tell you what to do next.

MEASUREMENT WORKSHOPS
Sometimes you just need to put everyone in a room together and hammer out the details. That's what KDPaine & Partners workshops are all about. We'll help you reach consensus, no matter how thorny the issue. We conduct workshops on every aspect of research and evaluation and for every level of expertise. These half-day or full-day sessions will train you and/or your staff in the basic rules of measurement, research and evaluation. Whether you are the in-house guru, or totally new to PR, there's a KDPaine & Partners workshop that can help. We offer workshops on the following topics:

• Dashboard Development (SM) -- If you're having trouble getting everyone to agree on just what it is you need to be measuring, you need a Dashboard Development workshop. We'll work with public information officers, department or agency heads, community leaders or whoever you want to put in the room, and at the end of the day, we'll have your custom measurement program not just agreed upon, but endorsed by all.
• Communications Plan Development -- No matter how well you put together your communications plan, if everyone doesn't buy into it, it won't succeed. We'll help you build a plan that not only achieves your goals, but brings the organization together around a common goal
• Action Planning -- We've always believed that research without insight is just trivia, and no matter how good the insight,it too is just trivia until everyone buys into the action required to take advantage of it. We'll review your research data with you, and help you to develop an action plan guaranteed to succeed.
