strategic planning and program evaluation

We help you use data to build a roadmap to your goals, or to communicate the great work you’ve done to your funders and other stakeholders.

Expertise in study design, survey design, statistical analysis, and more – we offer services, coaching, or simple advice.

statistical analysis and reporting

Our reports are meaningful, actionable, and simple to read. Our products range from executive summaries to custom dynamic visualization tools.

survey design

No survey is too big – or too small. We help you ask the questions that will produce meaningful data based on your goals.

We love data and we also love helping people. We understand that people have different preferences when it comes to using data to make decisions. Do you just want coaching or are you looking to outsource your project? Our flexible, collaborative approach allows us to design a project that fits your needs. We’ve worked with clients in academia, business, nonprofit, and community –  and we love finding the best way to work together.

My dissertation work was at a standstill, but Practical Statistics was an enormous help! Dr. Floren’s expertise in identifying the statistics needed to test my hypotheses, and his patience with my never-ending list of questions was exactly what I needed.
