We tailor our approach to suit the concerns or dilemmas of a client (e.g., a governmental agency, nonprofit, or corporation). From there, we conduct evaluations on programming, implementation, strategy, or problematic work climates through qualitative reasoning, although client needs can vary. We find that work commonly requires us to pay close attention to efficiency, effectiveness, and equity.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ea-card sp-ea-single\"><h3 class=\"ea-header\"><a class=\"collapsed\" id=\"ea-header-17732\" role=\"button\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse17732\" aria-controls=\"collapse17732\" href=\"#\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\">How do you help schools?<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"sp-collapse spcollapse \" id=\"collapse17732\" data-parent=\"#sp-ea-1773\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"ea-header-17732\"> <div class=\"ea-body\"><p><span style=\"font-size: 1.15rem;line-height: 1.75rem\">We specialize in Title I school management, stakeholder needs, as well as curriculum. We also mediate internal or external school conflict that can arise between teachers, students or the public. This is often referred to as stakeholder engagement, management, and communication. Additionally, we use our own sustainable educational methodology as a blueprint to create specialized training for specific school staff. We simply need an honest overview of the challenges that exist within the school environment (internally or externally) and proceed to formulate a training plan to eliminate inefficiencies or conflict.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ea-card sp-ea-single\"><h3 class=\"ea-header\"><a class=\"collapsed\" id=\"ea-header-17733\" role=\"button\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse17733\" aria-controls=\"collapse17733\" href=\"#\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\">What can InterMediate offer us that we have not received in the past?<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"sp-collapse spcollapse \" id=\"collapse17733\" data-parent=\"#sp-ea-1773\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"ea-header-17733\"> <div class=\"ea-body\"><p><span style=\"font-size: 1.15rem;line-height: 1.75rem\">Our work incorporates numbers and narrative, although qualitative data is our primary method to establish feasible solutions for our clients. Qualitative research is the most effective way to investigate the meaning of numerical data and to help clients avoid cyclical failure, which occurs when problem analysis only scratches the surface - leaving analysis gaps. Think of numerical data as the pages of a book, and qualitative analysis as the story printed on those pages: you can\u2019t truly have one without the other. However, establishing an accurate narrative is what sets our consulting approach apart. Narrative clarity is not only a process, it is a deliverable. We are highly skilled at capturing multiple narratives and differentiating competing interests that cloud for-profit or nonprofit endeavors.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ea-card sp-ea-single\"><h3 class=\"ea-header\"><a class=\"collapsed\" id=\"ea-header-17734\" role=\"button\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse17734\" aria-controls=\"collapse17734\" href=\"#\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\">Your website refers to different \u201cmethods\u201d and approaches.\u201d What does this mean?<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"sp-collapse spcollapse \" id=\"collapse17734\" data-parent=\"#sp-ea-1773\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"ea-header-17734\"> <div class=\"ea-body\"><p><span style=\"font-size: 1.15rem;line-height: 1.75rem\">It does not matter whether you are a for-profit company or a nonprofit organization - we are an interdisciplinary consulting company and understand the need to bring in profit just as much as we understand mission-related objectives. In terms of the difference between method and approach, in the qualitative paradigm, a method is how information is collected and approach refers to the perspective (or philosophical position) of the researcher-consultant collecting the information. Our client specific method(s) and research approaches make our plans invaluable because they are need-centric. We do not rush to identify \u201cproblems\u201d per se, although problems do emerge immediately once the work begins. An effective solution cannot be implemented without accurately assessing needs.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ea-card sp-ea-single\"><h3 class=\"ea-header\"><a class=\"collapsed\" id=\"ea-header-17735\" role=\"button\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse17735\" aria-controls=\"collapse17735\" href=\"#\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\">I think I understand, but can you offer an example?<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"sp-collapse spcollapse \" id=\"collapse17735\" data-parent=\"#sp-ea-1773\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"ea-header-17735\"> <div class=\"ea-body\"><p><span style=\"font-size: 1.15rem;line-height: 1.75rem\">Consider this scenario: you are a nonprofit client who seeks out InterMediate\u2019s help to determine how your constituent needs have changed over time. In a case like this, we may determine that interviewing is the best method and that an interpretative approach is most effective in that data collection. Interpretative is defined as an approach used by a qualitative researcher to seek meaning from small interactions and can reveal the subjectivity of participants. In another example, a client might desire us to compare feedback or evaluate impact over a certain number of years, also known as longitudinal data; in this case, a post-positivist approach is likely more appropriate.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ea-card sp-ea-single\"><h3 class=\"ea-header\"><a class=\"collapsed\" id=\"ea-header-17736\" role=\"button\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse17736\" aria-controls=\"collapse17736\" href=\"#\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\">Will you keep me aware of decisions or ongoing progress?

Clients are always provided details about our strategy and often help us determine what strategies are feasible. There are no surprises when it comes to the working agreement and activity schedule. Should any issues arise, we will immediately open a dialogue with the client to evaluate and assess any additional actions that might be needed at that time.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ea-card sp-ea-single\"><h3 class=\"ea-header\"><a class=\"collapsed\" id=\"ea-header-17737\" role=\"button\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse17737\" aria-controls=\"collapse17737\" href=\"#\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\">How closely can I expect InterMediate to work with me or my organization?<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"sp-collapse spcollapse \" id=\"collapse17737\" data-parent=\"#sp-ea-1773\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"ea-header-17737\"> <div class=\"ea-body\"><p><span style=\"font-size: 1.15rem;line-height: 1.75rem\">Change agency is usually not a solo act.
