Dialogic has been conducting research for almost 15 years and traditionally excels in combining qualitative and quantitative research. Typically, this involves occasional text reports that are interspersed with a large number of tables and graphs. A recently published study on Flemish Agricultural Research is a good example of this.
Lately, we are witnessing a shift towards continuous monitoring of developments on a specific topic. In practice, this means an increased frequency of data collection and updates, leading to a shift towards more data and less text. A logical solution is to provide so-called management dashboards. We do this, for example, in the Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators (WTI2) project for the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. More graphs can be found on the demo version of another site.
This shift goes far beyond simply unlocking information in a different way. It also entails a fundamentally different way of working.
To enable this approach, we are actively working on establishing a coherent information architecture. We are largely developing a large number of software modules in-house, which together form a flexible system allowing us to collect, process, analyse, and visualise data tailored to specific needs (semi-automatically). The core of the system (the blue modules) is already in active use, and we are constantly developing new plugins for data input and output.
A more detailed explanation of the capabilities can be found on our website, under Intelligence.
