Training, facilitation and consultancy

We deliver training, facilitation and consultancy for institutional managers, researchers and research support staff on topics ranging from strategy development to team-building, and from financial management to partnership development.

Realizing Potential of digital technologies

We investigate the impact of new technologies like cloud computing and text and data mining on the way research is communicated and re-used, and help clients position themselves to reap the benefits arising from the research findings. We also utilize the online workshops and conferences, and the integrated in-person interactions to get more data that enables us to come up with concrete research findings. As part of the digital applications, we utilize mobile phone data collections which is advantageous in capturing a huge target population both in rural and urban areas.

Knowledge exchange and commercialization

Hano Research and Consultancy Firm’s other strand of activity focuses on enabling knowledge exchange, demonstrating impact and supporting commercialization. We help streamline interactions between research organizations, government, business and not-for-profits, identifying what works and promulgating good practice. HRC uses its experience in impact capture and evaluation to help organizations demonstrate and communicate the value of their research, and work hand-in-hand with research institutions to evaluate and develop commercial opportunities.
