Our Holistic Approach

ECRA was founded on the belief that all components of an organization are interdependent: to understand the function and efficacy of the whole organization, one must understand the relationship and interdependence of its parts—its personnel and programming. This holistic approach to research and strategic planning—embedding solutions in the context of the larger organizational structure—enables ECRA to deeply and meaningfully assess root causes, analyze and apply data, monitor the progress of change behaviors, and ensure continuous quality improvement of the parts and whole of the organization.

A Personal Client Relationship

ECRA Group realizes that each client is unique; as a result, our solutions are customized to meet the individual needs of our clients. To do so, we attend to three crucial components of the client relationship: methodological integrity, cost and organizational culture. Careful attention to these three components allows ECRA to design and implement projects to ensure process efficiency and integrity of research findings.

ECRA Client Service Teams

ECRA client service teams include scientific specialists in research methodology and data management, as well as experts in leadership, organizational change, and related educational and health disciplines. ECRA specialists hold a Ph.D. in their areas of expertise, and many of them are published professors at major universities. Support teams specialize in translating data into knowledge and deliverables that not only communicate findings but provide a course of action for meaningful, lasting change.The extensive experience of our personnel enables ECRA to provide support and guidance at all stages of the implementation process: planning, development, training, and evaluation.
