NCD Launches New Research Service

 

NCD International has launched a new service – NCD Research International.

This new research service is to support key leaders, decision makers, and researchers in Christian denominations and movements, ministries and organizations by providing them with facts – facts for sound decisions. We believe that reliable and relevant information is of immense practical value, not only to understand the “inner fabric” of a larger ministry setting but also to guide and enhance strategic decision-making.

Our services include:

• OQM and NCD database queries (with more than 65,000 NCD Surveys)
• Analysis of NCD and OQM Survey data in light of individual questions
• Research coaching and consulting
• Designing and implementing of research projects

For more information, go to www.ncd-research.org.

Check out our list of case studies to get a better picture of our research services.
