We offer quality, relevant and timely research services to support busy organization with strategic and day-to-day decision making. Imagine us as your “ extended workbench”.
HTT has spent over a decade supporting and collaborating with organizations who generate, communicate, use and fund evidence. We know how hard teams work to deliver their missions, and that day-to-day priorities often leave little time for anything else. Our research support service (RSS) fills this gap.
We help teams and organizations keep abreast of sector developments and emerging evidence, to scope out investment opportunities or new markets, to bring in different perspectives, and much more.
In each case, we have developed relationships with specific teams, been on hand at critical junctures, helped teams to develop and communicate their position on major debates, attended last minute events, acted as a secretariat for informal working groups, helped identify new partners and developed content databases.
What differentiates us
We are happy to do the things you would rather not, or don’t have time for, so you can focus on your priorities. For example, we will happily attend and report back on a meeting for you, read and summaries publications, or facilitate a working group.
We also won’t rely on the usual sources, bringing diversity of perspective into your decision making. We know think tanks all over the world and constantly look for, nurture and amplify their voices through the RSS.
Understanding your needs
Our engagement with your organization begins with an open discussion about your needs and whether we’re the right fit. Questions we will work through together include:
What level of support are you looking for?
What information do you need, who needs it and for what?
What formats are most useful to you?
Do you need us to be more responsive or proactive?
How should we keep you updated – monthly calls, regular email updates?
Will outputs be for internal use only or shared as a public good?
If we decide to work together, the first 1-3 months will be an inception phase to co-design, tailor and test the collaboration.
Get in touch
If your team or organization could benefit from HTT’s RSS, get in touch. We’ll schedule a call to hear more about your needs and come back to you with a short proposal.
