Works & Works Consulting
We offer a broad range of research services ranging from simple demographic updates to complicated statistical and spatial analyses.  Our goal is to offer practical research that enables effective decision-making.  Listed below are a few examples of the research services we can provide for your organization.  If you are unsure of what research services you might need, we can help assess your organizational needs.
Needs Assessments
Do you have a need to provide information on problems of interest to your organization?  We can provide a variety of needs assessments ranging from broad-based community needs assessments to assessments focusing on a particular issue or population.  
Program Planning and Evaluation
Need help demonstrating the effectiveness of your programs?  We provide complete outcomes-based program planning and evaluation services.  We can provide the information you need to implement a well-run outcomes-based program.  We can help design and execute an evaluation plan that will allow you to show how your program helps your clients.  
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Analysis
Do you have questions that can best be answered with maps?  GIS can be used to answer a number of common questions.  GIS can used to determine program site locations, define a service area, show gaps in service, and to visually display your organization's data.
Demographic Analysis
Want to know more about the population you serve?  If so, we can help.   We can provide annual demographic updates for your service area that examines recent demographic changes, as well as future population changes.  We can also provide long-term historical demographic analysis for an area or population of interest.
Survey Design and Analysis
Ever need information that just can't be found?   Sometimes the only way to find out something is to ask - and a survey may be the way to ask.  We can design surveys to fit the situation - surveys for program evaluation, telephone surveys, mail surveys, and web-based surveys.  We can help you decide which is best for you.
