Research, development & training
Research for demanding security decisions
Research built around a question no standard report answers: literature, legal framework, data, interviews and comparative practice in one deliverable.
IVSR prepares research that combines professional literature, the legal and institutional framework, data, interviews, comparative practice and operational experience.
It suits questions for which no adequate off-the-shelf report exists, or which cannot be resolved by a technical review alone.
Possible scope
The scope follows the questions the engagement must answer — not the other way round.
- 01Formulating the research question, the methodology and the quality criteria.
- 02Review of domestic and international literature, regulation and practice.
- 03Qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis.
- 04Interviews, focus groups, the Delphi method and other suitable research methods.
- 05Comparison of countries, domains or organizational models.
- 06Scenario development, impact assessment and options for action.
- 07Presentation of findings to leadership or the professional public.
You receive
A research report, a management summary, a data or source annex, recommendations, a presentation and, by agreement, a professional article.
Who it is for
For ministries, municipalities, public institutions, companies, associations, research organizations, law firms and international consortia.
Limitations and boundaries
- The methodology, limitations, any conflicts of interest and the degree of independence are defined before work begins. Findings are not adjusted to a result the client might want in advance.

A confidential introductory conversation
Every engagement starts with a confidential conversation in which we jointly verify the purpose, the authority and the feasibility. Only then do we propose the scope and the way of working.
