Our Company
Research Works, founded by Dr Kim Baldry, partners with a diverse network of academics and research professionals to deliver evidence-based insights for complex team and organisational challenges. With a PhD in Organisational Behaviour and two decades of experience in academic and applied settings, Kim leads a team dedicated to providing meaningful research that is meticulously tailored to the specific needs of every project.
We operate across sectors as varied as health, education, and banking, collaborating with NGOs and private companies to deliver insights that truly matter.
Our strength lies in our ability to bridge the gap between academic rigour and consulting agility. We don't just ask questions; we listen to the said and the unsaid, providing a research partnership that is collaborative, deeply contextual, and impact-driven.
