Research


Research takes multiple forms and directions.

Arkay Solutions Research Services enables a business to formulate or revise its Business Strategy, strategic plans and/or their formation and execution.

Our business supports your business in creating value and going beyond capture of what is or isn’t working presently.   There are three legs to our research services , each supporting the larger strategic decisions:

  • Evidence–collection, analysis and presentation of your existing business data–what’s predictable and at what level of confidence? We help integrate, reconcile different data sources and uncover insights about your business processes, activities and where they align or disconnect to  performance drivers;
  • Evolution–a broader look at the market place, connecting your capabilities with market evolution.  As customers needs emerge, often they make do with what’s available, convenient.  These solutions suffice without fully satisfying. Our work looks at what may be attracting customer’s interest or causing changes in their behavior. We help you establish early warning tests that typify a walk in your current business model, that differentiate significant outliers from data errors .
  • Extensions–Business modeling and Development testing. Maybe it’s time for a new business model, maybe your processes are overdue for transformation. We can help you find the right solutions.

*Evidence-obtaining and using Data to Drive your business

What got you here won’t get you there, Differentiating satisfaction and meeting needs. 
Data doesn’t drive your business, people do. The more data you collect about how people inside and outside your business behave, you merely have more data.  Statistically some samples are too small, but sometimes your Likert scale too big to interpret. Quantity doesn’t beat quality. Measurable results suggest problems but offer little information about what changes or adjustments will improve your performance now or in the future.

Arkay Solutions data experience and skills exceed analysis capabilities. They encompass the collection and reporting.  Are the metrics you use hollow, self-limiting your learning and leaving your potential insights in a state of decay? It’s why Arkay Solutions exists.

Measures matter: We don’t measure walking or travel distances in inches, but we do measure time.Measuring North Meaningful measures consider the problem, they are contextual and situational. Buyers do the same. They consider what they need and what’s available, convenient in access, price and effort to create their value checklist which they often apply when considering your services/goods?

  • Are you tracking qualities that differentiate you from others?
  • Are you encouraging employees empathy for customers and the jobs they want to get done, and affording them  capabilities that satisfy not merely suffice?

Part science and part art, measures that matter favor results over process. These measures are valued not just for management but the business.

We help you Mind the items that keep people engaged, pleased and supportive. Make known why the work being done matters, what impact you wish to make, and give meaning to your results.
