For many organizations, the first barrier to answering their questions is not knowing what they already have and what they need to collect. Dr. Fox will work with you to understand your goals and needs and create a plan for you to answer your questions. That could include developing a Data Collection Plan, or it might involve making existing data useful by turning disorganized data dumps into systematically designed, machine-readable file directories.

Too often, an organization’s “data problem” is not that they aren’t collecting data, but that they aren’t doing it well. Dr. Fox will collaborate with your team to develop a data collection plan that will lead to rich, reliable, and actionable data. Some of the most common consulting services in this category include implementation of expert survey design strategies and AB-Testing using experimental design best practices.

Whether the raw data need to be collected or are already sitting on your computer waiting to reveal the insights within, there are countless potential pitfalls that await during the analysis process. Dr. Fox’s detail-oriented, hypothesis-driven approach to data analysis will produce clear, accurate, and actionable results to answer your organization’s most urgent questions.

Sometimes, data are better suited for exploring than for testing specific hypotheses. If your questions are less clear-cut, or if you are blessed with a fount of data, but you aren’t sure what insights might lie within, Dr. Fox has the advanced computational skills and creativity to help your organization glean invaluable insights from your data, however complex. Common conclusion services in this category include developing straightforward indices/metrics that combine and simplify interpretation of multiple sources of data, turning complex qualitative/textual data into measurable quantitative data using natural language processing techniques, and identifying important contributing factors to disparities using artificial intelligence algorithms.

Data are only useful to the extent that they can produce insights and/or recommendations. Dr. Fox will work with you to envision a product that will aid your organization in understanding and tracking your data. Whether you want a sleek slide deck to present to your Board, a formal report that includes detailed and beautifully designed infographics, or a Data Dashboard to help your team observe/detect longitudinal change in your performance metrics, we stand ready to help you turn data into insights.
