Our Approach to Research

At Datu Research, we provide market research designed to meet your unique needs.

Whether you're a start-up entering the climate tech space, a large corporation striving for net zero, or an advocacy organization supporting smart climate policy, we ensure that your target technologies fully achieve their potential to slow climate change.

To better understand your target users, our experts conduct in-depth interviews, surveys, and focus groups that uncover insights about the adopter persona, their needs, pain points, and motivations. To find ways to smooth the path to net zero, we draw on decades of experience analyzing the supply chains of climate-critical industries: renewable energy, energy efficiency, agriculture, transportation, oil & gas production, and more.

We build productive conversations.

  • Design meeting agendas that are achievable, collaborative, and create clear next steps.

  • Convene partners in a way that stays focused, enables joint decisions, and taps everyone’s best thinking.

  • Receive a concise summary of decisions made, the data they’re based on, and who is responsible for doing what by when.

Our Approach to Facilitation

Datu’s meeting facilitators create an environment where all participants will share their perspectives and have the tools to collaborate effectively.

We work with you to clearly define the meeting's purpose and objectives, structure the agenda, and ensure that everyone understands their roles and responsibilities.

During the meeting, we guide the discussion, encourage everyone to speak up, and help you manage any conflicts that may arise.

We work to ensure that the meeting stays on track and the agenda is covered within the time allowed. We summarize the group’s key decisions, the data they’re based on, and the action items they require.

  • Strive to see what is good enough for now.

  • Make your thought bubble visible.

  • Give others enough information to understand you.

  • Start where the last person left off.

  • It might be you who misunderstands.

  • Be patient. There is no shortcut to “simple.”
