To provide answers that are on time and on target, Macro combines a high level of expertise and state-of-the-art tools and techniques. We work with clients to develop the right questions and the right tools for the job, whether they are surveys, focus groups, onsite investigations, or tightly controlled comparative studies. Our survey, research, and evaluation teams are adept at gathering information from hard-to-reach audiences and out-of-the way places.

Yet collecting information is just part of our work. To make sense of the information we collect, Macro employs the academic training and technical skill of many of the best sampling experts, statisticians, data managers, facilitators, interviewers, and interpretive analysts in the business. The collective knowledge, expertise, and personal interest of these able people span virtually every area of public policy and social concern. Macro also is a prime resource for business organizations as they increasingly turn to more rigorous methods to support their strategic decisions and to guide their management practices.

Behind our deeply and diversely talented staff, our continuously updated selection of equipment and systems ensures quick turnaround and the greatest value for the customer. Automated data collection, computerized receipt control systems, online reporting, customized Web sites and databases, affordable twice-a-week national surveys, and a proprietary system for analyzing verbatim responses are a few of the innovations Macro has developed to enhance its research and evaluation work.

In addition to efficiency and solid science, Macro places a premium on communication. We work closely with clients throughout each engagement. From focusing a study to handing over a final product, we keep clients informed and seek fresh information to guide adjustments. We report our methods and our findings actively and in different forms. Success means that our work is clear and responsive and that all relevant views are considered. Working in close partnership with clients enables us to achieve our mutual goal of making sure that our data is understood and put to use.
