RESEARCH
Evidence built together
and shared openly
WHY WE CONDUCT RESEARCH
Some questions can only be answered meaningfully across organizations.
We focus our research where existing studies, frameworks, and practices fall short of what organizations need. Each study is informed by conversations with practitioners who face these needs in their work. We share findings openly so results can be discussed without restriction.
WHAT WE RESEARCH
Our research is independent of client engagements and based on open science practices. We collaborate with academic research departments and professional associations to conduct research drawing on practitioner experience across disciplines and sectors. Each of the areas below is open to collaborators who share an interest in its questions.
Workforce decision systems
How do organizations structure consequential workforce decision-making? Who makes the decisions, what evidence informs them, and are they revisited as conditions change?
AI adoption and the future of work
How does introducing generative and agentic AI change work and working? And how can organizations measure the true ROI of AI adoption to ensure risks do not scale faster than benefits?
Trust and ethics in people decisions
What makes decisions that impact people fair and trusted? And how can organizations protect privacy as they collect more employee data and experiment with new ways of working?
