Research

Every research project we undertake has real measurable impact—for the clients and communities we serve.

Our Research-to-Practice service model is built to produce rich insights quickly, through collaborative, versatile, and iterative design. We always test and validate our learnings and approaches with leaders, organizations, and end users.

Challenge Factory projects solve specific problems and produce actionable recommendations. Our focus is on people-driven solutions, not technology implementations.

Client testimonials

“Challenge Factory refuses to stay within the prescribed limits of how things are normally done. Research agencies normally have, for example, a division that focuses on helping individuals, and another for helping governments, and another for DEI, and so on. But Lisa and her team connect the dots between those various groups, niche problems, and broader societal issues. They know that what’s pertinent to individual labor challenges isn’t unrelated to what government strategies are. And that those aren’t unrelated to private sector frictions or community capacity.”
