data management

data entry, data review, and reporting, simplified!

Teams that need support with the management of engagement data throughout the life of a project, through a project phase, or in the shorter-term, to deal with a backlog of data.

We manage the collection, review, interpretation, summarization, input, and reporting of your records of engagement and consultation, as well as the related outcomes, issues, concerns, commitments, and agreements. We have experience with various stakeholder information management systems, and our tried and tested process ensures that the hand-over of entries to our team is seamless and hassle-free. All your team members need to do is send their records of contact to an email address provided, and we will deal with everything from that point onwards. We use a simple questionnaire to identify your data entry and reporting protocols. Once we understand your way of doing things, our team can start entering and managing the data.

We have various Data Management Plan options, and we will recommend a suitable plan based on an initial conversation about your data management needs.

We are data management experts with a deep understanding of Indigenous, stakeholder, and public engagement processes and requirements, which means you can be sure of high efficiency and data management quality. The feedback we’ve received from clients is that these plans reduce the burden of data entry and provide them with insights and ideas for streamlining the data management processes. Contracts are flexible, which means we can step in anytime you need us, whether on a long or short term basis.

Our protocol documentation is easy to follow and ensures that your project team works with optimal data management practices. Our protocol development system includes pre-written protocol templates that we use as a starting point.
