The brief
To provide quantitative and qualitative research support, and a range of consultation sessions, to gain insight into the needs and expectations of Roehampton students and key stakeholders.
My approach
Working in partnership with Jackie Berry, another consultant, we designed and facilitated a range of consultation sessions and research methods to help understand Roehampton students. We ran a number of workshops with University of Roehampton staff and RSU staff triustees to understand how RSU can better support Roehampton students to get the best from their University experience. Our research also included gaining insight from existing Roehampton students to understand how they want to be supported and what more RSU can do to improve their academic journey.
Our research led to the creation of Roehampton Students' Union's new strategy, which you can read here.
Client Testimonial
Roehampton Students’ Union embarked on a strategic review in 2021 and Hannah provided us with consultancy support for the research exercise. Hannah developed a clear and easily digestible breakdown of the research activities required and how they would generate insight to help set the right direction for the union. The result of this helped our project board formulate data-driven strategic concepts that were easy to communicate to stakeholders and that would later take shape as our new objectives. Hannah worked exceptionally well with staff colleagues and provided opportunities to gain hands-on experience of a large-scale strategic research exercise. Having the trustworthy and highly credible insights that Hannah helped us to generate through her research approach was a vital part of the creation of our strategic plan, and we are grateful for her support, challenge, and high-quality outputs.
